It's not possible for Supergirl to take place on Earth-1, really, unless it's just an enormous coincidence that they've never mentioned a famous and loved-by-the-public superpowered hero like the Flash, and conversely that neither Kryptonian hero has ever been mentioned on the CW shows.

I don't remember the exact line about that - but even a day or two's difference in their deaths could provide a big enough window for the Waverider to scoop them up.

Flamethrower!

One thing I like about Team Arrow, now, is how gender-balanced it is. The "field team" is Green Arrow, Spartan, Speedy, and Black Canary, and the support team is Overwatch and kinda-sorta Quentin Lance.

Here's the question I'm hoping they address soon: why can't they go collect a future incarnation of Carter from somewhere? Or a past one. In 4,000 years, as Vandal Savage keeps saying, there has to have been a time when circumstances meant Shayera was killed while Khufu survived, at least for a little while.

The version I heard was that the guy O'Neil* asked was from a country where the pronunciation of Arabic differs from either Standard Arabic or the Egyptian Arabic that dominates radio, film, and television in the Arabic-speaking world.

Or Cairo, Illinois, which is pronounced "KAY-ro", like Karo Syrup (which, being Australian, I'd pronounce as "KAH-ro" if I didn't know better).

I just think it's funny that Ramirez from The Dark Knight is the one "going Batman".

It's probably correct, but captions are no guarantee. Might be different for different companies, but when we get transcripts to make captions they're never from even the shooting script. They're usually made afterwards (and often by people not as diligent as I want them to be).

Was that established on screen? Hayley Atwell commented that she was 96 in The Winter Soldier, which would mean she was born in 1918.

1942, right?

It'd be weird that he didn't show up in the flashbacks. Michael's old enough to have been married with a child or two.

It's doing triple duty this season, because the same set is SSR New York, SSR Los Angeles, and Bletchley Park.

Emily Van Camp is credited as "Sharon Carter" for Civil War, according to all sources, and her on-screen codename of "Agent 13" has only ever been associated with Sharon Carter in the comics, as far as I'm aware.

It's true that she hasn't explicitly been named as Sharon Carter on screen yet (though Van Camp is credited as such for Civil War), but "Agent 13" has only ever been Sharon Carter's codename in the comics as far as I know - so it's even more reasonable to assume she's Sharon Carter on that basis alone than it is to…

It's inconsistent, too. I can't figure out why Arrow had to kill off its Amanda Waller and Deadshot when a) their Deadshot is white anyway; b) their Amanda Waller is likewise pretty physically distinct from the film's version; c) they haven't been forced to bring back other characters appearing in Suicide Squad like…

TL/DR: I think the CW series are divergent enough from the source material in the comics that, apart from the identity of the hero and maybe their primary love interest, there really isn't going to be that much in common.

I don't pretend to understand why they use the names of other characters (maybe just a rule of convenience to keep the IP "active"?), but you see the Persuader, whereas when I think "super strong, special axe", I think Steppenwolf. ;)

They do know about it. It's actually much less a case of "movie guys think about X, TV guys think about Y" now, because they reorganised everything under one person about a year ago, maybe a little less?

It's different because it happens for different reasons, I think. But I have a few thoughts:
