      Also, the writers were aware of the issues with fridging in the comics, which was one of the reasons for the big twist

      Which twist? I haven't read the comics and don't plan to.

        In the comics, Butcher's wife and her super-baby actually did die in the backstory, and the pregnancy was the result of a rape.

        The writers changed it for the show because 1) it's boring and 2) between Rebecca and Robin, the story was pretty heavy on women whose role in the narrative was "suffer and die to make their man feel manpain."

          100% an improvement over the comics, yeah. I'm looking forward to that plot arc in season 2.

            the last scene in it. It just felt forced for the sake of the cliffhanger but the way it was done just didn't make sense. Not what happened but how. Butcher was unconscious for X hours, it's suddenly daylight and he wakes up just in time for that scene where Junior pops out wearing basically his dad's colors?

            They could have done it better.

                @Wretched I wonder if they are going to make mention of the fact that he was also the first Trickster for the Arrowverse's Flash.

                (edit: I should add, when they did this is was pretty cool because he also played the Trickster in the 1990 Flash).

                  He reprised his role as the Trickster for the Arrowverse Flash as well. There are all sorts of shoutouts to the 1990s show.

                  ETA: Somehow my brain didn't register the first part of your comment. Carry on.

                  And yeah, I'd love to see a reference.

                    Is the show still shit though? After season 3 (or during it, whenever that R'as fight was that Oliver lost) it jumped the shark so fast.

                      I can't find mention of this anywhere but that one article, and they don't cite sources. It's not on Mark Hamill's Twitter, either.

                        I think the Mark Hamill as Joker is a fan-boy hope since Kevin Conroy was apparently cast as an older Bruce Wayne/Batman in the Crisis crossover.

                          THAT bit is confirmed by Conroy himself.

                              Sure is. Thirty fucking years in the making is what it is.

                                While it will impact everything, I imagine the Crisis on Infinite Earths will be Flash-focused. They've been teasing it since season one.

                                  @Rinel I'm just grateful to see a Green Lantern. Though I'm excited with a lot of the news, like Kevin Conroy playing Bruce Wayne.

                                    I'm so conflicted about this. I would love to see more Event Horizon, but this part of me thinks: "HOW DARE YOU. THIS IS A CLASSIC. LOOK BUT DONT TOUCH."

                                    ...but if it's gritty and grimdark and messy and eldritch and technical and everything I'd want from a Dead Space live action? It's my birthday.

                                      Is it going to be a continuation? or a new kind of telling of the story?

                                        @Jaded According to the article a "series adaptation", so a retelling with potential to go past the timeline of the movie.
