He could also bust his dad out. Barry Allen doesn't roll that way.

"With a weapon of the past, I shall defeat an evil of the present."

Well, famously in the sense that folks at Brookhaven and CERN had to spend an inordinate amount of time reassuring exciteable members of the public that they don't do that. (At least at the energies we're currently able to work with.)

It's not like we ever see a hardcopy. "Website with a retro newspaper theme" doesn't strike me as beyond plausibility. (And who knows what actual news sites/apps/VR experiences will be like in 2024?)

ISTR hearing that she's

Known, sure. But it's all context: if she's told that an unspecified chemical reaction will create a salt, there's no reason she'd assume sodium chloride rather than some other ionic compound. If she were at a restaurant, she likewise wouldn't consider the possibility that a shaker labeled "salt" was filled with…

Ah, Ph.Ds in superhero universes. I assume they must have some method other than "spend the better part of a decade making a unique contribution to a specific subject" to get one there.

Well, half of Firestorm. Necessarily, of course, in this case— but Ronnie and Martin should totally start advertising wedding services. Who doesn't want to be married by an officiant who's literally on fire?

It may be a matter of knowing too much rather than too little. A mathematical singularity is just where an equation breaks down or is undefined, like 1/x where x=0. (Conditions at the center of a black hole, where space time curvature goes to infinity, are one specific example of such a singularity.) Caitlin may…

I would have preferred that they just keep the original Earth-2 and had time be increasingly out of sync, so that it never got much past the 60s there. That's enough to get adult Robin and the Huntress and Infinity, Inc., without having to worry that the WWII heroes are approaching their century mark.

Yes— the toning down of "I Just Want to be Normal" is incredibly refreshing. It was a great new emotional direction when it was introduced by Marvel in the Silver Age. But even Kirby and Lee didn't give it to everyone. The original point of superpowers is to be a wish-fulfillment fantasy— let some of these people…

The Quicksilver scene is awesome, but it's also why they had to shuffle him offstage immediately. Super-speed needs to be cheated downward to avoid being a complete deus ex machina power.

Miller's later Batman work rapidly diminished, but I don't the original Dark Knight Returns mini was nihilist. The whole climax hinged on the fact that Bruce wasn't as alone or facing as hopeless a cause as he thought: Superman plays along with his "death", leaving him to rally Robin and his ex-gangbanger admirers…

Likewise. It was also a great unexpected direction to take Hawkeye. (Though having him spend the rest of the movie literally talking about what he's going to do on his farm once this whole crisis is over was laying the death fakeout on a little thick.) I didn't know there was anyone who didn't like it.

Teenager seems a little young to be running a flower shop, though people did a lot of things younger then than they tend to do now. But the real problem was that Earth-1 was on a sliding timeline (so Ollie wasn't significantly older in the 80s than he'd been in the 70s) while the Earth-2 heroes' debuts were mostly…

Short answer: Black Canary has been Dinah Laurel Lance since the mid-late 80s.

I prefer light and high-powered to grim and street-level, so Flash is more to my taste. But both benefit from the fact that we've reached the point that something can just be a superhero show instead of a "superhero show, but—".

Anyone's expendable to him in the final analysis. But she's not just an instrument for controlling the North to him; possessing her is an end in itself, as an extension of his obsession with Cat.

It's not a matter of caring. Sansa is his Cat replacement, and she's his. If he can, he'll maneuver her into a relationship with him at least as horrific from her perspective as the one with Ramsay, and block off every chance of escape. But he doesn't want her taken away from him, or permanently harmed in a way…

From what I can tell, it looks like linguists are at some pains to deny that specific claim when it comes up, though it does conserve features that most dialects of English have lost since it was settled in the 18th century. (Raleigh visited it in the 16th century, but didn't leave a permanent colony.)
