First "episode" of Vixen is out:
http://www.cwseed.com/shows/vixen/episode-1/?play=f4cef08a-4fd7-4ab5-941a-b97e88800872

Action sequence looks good up front. I'm more skeptical about the four minutes a week creating a compelling show model, however.

One thing I noticed is how good the designs for Flash and Arrow look in animation. Not that they don't look great irl, but costumes always look better drawn since the artist has control over body proportions.

"Only after he suggested I could have a job if I gave him one"

Well, did not expect that kind of dialogue in a cartoon. Also I would probably care more about this if it were an episode of one of the shows. Also it's funny that Flash looks like the slowest person in that first section. Yes he's blurred like he's running fast but both Arrow and Vixen look like they're moving faster.

Zoom probably not going to look like just a guy in a suit. My guess is the weird New 52 reverse flash look or the energy in a suit look. Or they just go with a suit with no mouth or big eye holes.

They mention in the article that the Zoom suit does not have any face holes and is instead completely sealed.

I'm sure she'll probably just be a cop for this series not a superhero. She might lose an appendage by the end of the season though. You'll probably have a better shot at getting Colleen Wing in the Iron Fist series.

There was a background thing somewhere in the MCU about the Stark Industries Robotic Prosthetics program, wasn't there?

(I mean for military use they've got the robot limbs they made for the Deathloks, but I'm guessing that isn't exactly generally available)

I guess, but at the very least you are going to need a sound a like who can still voice act, which isn't actually that easy. But also a lot of actors aren't good voice actors either, so there is that as well. The tech used in Ant Man still had Douglas on set performing his younger self's scene, so you get an actual Douglas performance put into a virtual younger Douglas body. Allegedly, the rumor is they will resurrect Peter Cushing this way for Star Wars Rogue One (he appeared in Episode 3 but was just standing there.)

I also firmly believe that the young Han Solo movie will employ this tech, instead of casting a younger actor.
