    Honestly, I'm fine with them doing him in school, I'm fine with them doing him as an adult. Just PLEASE stop having adults playing school children. Does it not confuse the Hell out of anyone else watching someone in their late twenties cast as a sixteen year old?

    So long as he doesn't retort "Yeah, well I fucked your daughter!", you're probably alright.

    I'm more mystified by it being the Spear of Destiny. I haven't been following this show closely. Are they really adding Jesus to the Arrowverse? What is he in this? The actual Son of God? Or in this is he supposedly an alien, meta or magician? There seems to be a bizarre turn to the religious in the Arrowverse

    A guy in his forties can still be very attractive, you know. Even to younger women.

    At this point I have to think you're either intentionally not getting my point or intentionally trying to argue against a strawman. They found someone the audience would be disinclined to regard as "an innocent" - a high-placed mobster turning grass. Doesn't really fit the term you're using. Yes it's implied Croc ate

    I think it's product placement. How many people had a sudden desire for a Smirnoff when the episode ended?

    Well…
    (a) It was his wife's voice.
    (b) It was his son who was in danger
    (c) Presumably people aren't supposed to know his mobile number.

    Well we did all think that. Only after two seasons of everyone on here slating her terribly, mind you. Then they gave her some actual attitude and agency in the last season and also a spot as an enthrallingly destructive villain on Flash and we all realised that if you give Katie Cassidy something to actually do she's

    Lady Shiva? I always liked the concept of Lady Shiva - that she really was the best and that even Batman, Arrow, whoever couldn't beat her. They had to find some way other than just "punch harder" to defeat her.

    Have you met this guy?

    The witness Deadshot killed was carefully flagged up as a mobster turning grass. I.e. someone the audience will lack sympathy for. Croc eats people, but again the only victims of his wrath we see on screen are his jailors who start the fight by rushing him with stun-batons. Boomerang I have already addressed -

    I don't doubt that it was intentional. I'm saying I think it was wrong.

    Heath Ledger was wonderful. My favourite Joker performance. But it would not have fitted with this film. I struggle to see him with this interpretation of Harley Quinn as well.

    I think it speaks very well of Cara D. that people's first reaction to Enchantress is "Well, look what she had to work with."

    Nearly all of this is kept carefully off-screen to avoid triggering negative reactions from the audience. Except for Diablo's whose is on-screen (well flashback), but then it's mainly there so he can express regret about it.

    So mean. I actually LIKE this interpretation of the Joker. Certainly more credible as a gang lord than as a friendless, random terrorist who would have a career lifespan of two weeks as a criminal.

    Will Smith was one of the worst things in the film for me. Not because he was bad. Or because he was unlikeable. He's the opposite of both of those things. He was one of the worst things because he epitomised what I consider the fundamental flaw of the movie - they're not bad guys. I don't buy him as someone who kills

    Probably by Batman.

    And in the animated version they used someone called KG Beast (yes, seriously). I thought that moment was fine. They could have made it even better by playing up that Boomerang actually knew or believed the bombs were real and just wanted to see Slipknot's head explode. Honestly, they should have made the whole thing

    I like him well enough. I just want to see the moment where Ollie sits him down and says: "Look, you're not really a brawler. And you don't have the attention span to learn archery. Have you maybe consider using your tech and athletics skills more?"
