I have a feeling “Jay Jackson” is code for “Wally West” — we shall see…

I also believe “Jay Jackson” is code for “Wally West”… but we shall see…

But nothing I’ve seen so far–and hopefully I’m wrong–but nothing I’ve seen so far suggests the “and an active part of Firestorm.” I’m just saying, I don’t want to see Stein sitting in front of a computer coordinating with Rip Hunter and Iron-Atom over bluetooth every episode.

Uh… given that Stein is always the passive, advising figure in the Firestorm matrix, it seems that he can be the Felicity/Caitlin/Cisco role AND an active part of Firestorm.

At least that’s pretty much the way he’s always been. 😉

Glad to see “Black Canary and Some Other Dicks” got the green light!

I have one concern about the presence of Martin Stein sans Ronnie or Jason. ARROW and THE FLASH follow a pretty similar formula and structure in terms of hero and suppurating cast. Both shows have a tech nerd character to provide exposition so that the main character doesn’t need to appear too smart for the target audience (it works for Ollie; bothers me for Barry). I worry that Stein will be relegated to the Felicity/Caitlin/Cisco role of “explainer” instead of being an active part of Firestorm.

Neither Hawkgirl nor Rip Hunter have appeared in either Arrow or The Flash as of right now, so they are both new additions to the universe.

And h/t to Xum below because I have the same thought regarding Sara Lance…

Was Super-Team Family already taken?

Still think “Legends of Justice” would be better, if we can’t have F&HAF.

This sounds like an interesting premise. Looking forward to seeing where Firestorm ends up at with the Flash finale.

So if Rip Hunter is pulling this team together, he could easily recruit Sara Lance from a point in time before her death. This would add deeper meaning to her episode 301 line, “I haven’t been away… that long.”
