grim22 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) EXCLUSIVE: DC Comics superheroes are uniting in a potential new drama series at the CW, a spinoff from hits Arrow and The Flash that will feature several fan-favorite recurring actors/characters from both shows. I have learned that the network has teamed with Arrow creators Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim for a project eyed for next season toplined by Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Wentworth Miller and Caity Lotz. The untitled project, now in development, is described as a superhero team-up show. Routh, Miller and Garber will reprise their popular DC Comics characters — Arrow‘s Ray Palmer/The Atom (Routh), Flash villain Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (Miller), and Flash‘s Dr. Martin Stein (Garber). Because her Arrow character Sara Lance was killed off, with her sister Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) taking over as the Black Canary, it is unclear whether Lotz will play the same or new superhero. The project is in early stages of development, so there is a possibility for other Arrow/Flash characters to cross over to the new spinoff. Additionally, in a tidbit that should get fans fired up, I have learned the new project will include three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series. This is the project CW president Mark Pedowitz vaguely referenced at TCA in January. It will not be part of the current pilot cycle. With the creative auspices and talent involved, I hear that it could go straight to series, possibly for next midseason. Berlanti and Kreisberg, who also co-created The Flash, and Guggenheim executive produce with Sarah Schechter for Warner Bros. TV and Berlanti Prods. http://deadline.com/2015/02/arrow-flash-spin-off-cw-new-superhero-series-1201382466/ Edited May 14, 2015 by grim22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 With this and CBS casting Cyborg and Superman in that Supergirl show, WB might as well cancel their movie version, because by the time it happens, nobody will care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Cyborg and Superman, Cyborg-Superman, a different character altogether who will probably never make it anywhere near a movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 WAT? Cyborg-Superman is based on the Fantastic Four. He was an astronaut who went to space with his family, got exposed to cosmic rays, everyone died except for him. He had an experimental procedure done on him to keep him alive and gained the ability to command electronics. He was one of the 4 replacement supermen during the Death of Superman storyline in the 90s. He is also responsible for the destruction of coast city which led to Hal Jordan going mad. He has been seen sporadically since, his basic purpose was to be a decoy Superman during the Death storyline, and he has just hung around since (kind of like Bane before Gail Simone) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Are they doing this instead of a DC Universe film series? I really hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 While I don't find Brand Routh's character to be fitting in Arrow, this is a horrible idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalderic Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 the trailer looks good, and i noticed that on the season finale of The Flash, while he is traveling back in time seeing the past, present, and future, we see a shot from this trailer in there.

DeeCee Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 It's interesting. We have 1 MCU across multiple TV shows and movies and we have 4 DC universes. 1.Arrow/The Flash/Legends of Tomorrow 2.Gotham 3.Supergirl 4.MoS/BvS/JL in the movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Supergirl might be in the same universe as Arrow & Flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestes Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Supergirl might be in the same universe as Arrow & Flash. I dunno. The talk of Superman having been the worlds only superhero seems to preclude that. Doesn't mean Flash couldn't still show up, since he can travel across the multiverse. They could also just retcon that bit, I doubt people would mind. Edited May 26, 2015 by Orestes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Berlanti speculated they could still be in the same universe but the head of CBS recently said that would be unlikely as they are on different networks. However, the possibility is still there. Given the set up on Supergirl in the pilot in wouldn't make sense for them to be in the same universe.
