[…] to news reports from last week, the unnamed Arrow/Flash spin-off will not include Robbie Amell. We knew he wasn’t part of the initial announcement, but here […]

Don’t mean to be a wet blanket, but I don’t see this happening. It’s “in development.” If it does get off the ground really, it’s gonna need some solid writing to pull this off with this cast of characters. Don’t get me wrong, I really, really hope they do get this going. And I hope it is good. I just don’t see this happening.

(And I wasn’t even counting that bit with “the Pupil”)

Rusch/Stein worked pretty well in the last few months of the Stuart Moore run. If only DC had given that pairing more of a chance to shine before deciding to kill Stein off (a couple of times, it seems, due to the muddle that was Countdown, even BEFORE they did so more properly in Brightest Day).

Garber but no Amell means:

A) Prequel?
B) Rusch/Stein FS?
C) ELEMENTAL Firestorm, i.e. Stein solo? (longshot, but…)
D) Robbie just hasn’t committed/been announced yet?

Great news, a couple of things have me wondering though if Firestorm will really be a (regular) part of this. Victor Garber has said that he doesn’t want to relocate to Canada where they film The Flash (and presumably this show). With the lack of Robbie Amell being mentioned, I’m thinking maybe we’re going to wind up with a Ronnie/Jason FS over on The Flash, while Stein is more of a scientific consultant on this new show? Something to think about anyway.

The fact that Captain Cold is already attached to this is the only thing that gives me pause. Please, CW, please, let him play the villain in the pilot episode. Don’t make him a regular. Do not follow DC Comics down the same horrible path of making your best villains members of the Justice League (even though Miller is a thoroughly underwhelming Leonard Snart–arguably the weakest part of the entire Flash series).

The rest of the news sounds great, especially the prospect of more Caity Lotz as Black Canary. I’m not sure how she’ll figure into the series, but I’m excited.

I was thinking that Atom and Firestorm would make a great show. With Palmer and Stein working together to figure out more of how the Firestorm Matrix works, running into new enemies, etc. There could even be an arc where Palmer goes missing (like in Sword of Atom).

Then again, I always wanted a DC Anthology show. It would be a great way to introduce heroes to the public, with an overreaching story that crosses the heroes in an epic event. Plus, if some episodes are more successful, Kapow! Spin-off shows.

This is awesome! I’m hoping the Robbie Amell signing comes soon. A Rusch/Stein Firestorm would be horrible.
