Well, so far the DC books aren't exactly super-high caliber in terms of writing (with a few… ahem… "wonderful" exceptions), but pretty much ALL of them are fun reads now, rather than being the drab, joyless drudges that the New 52 made 'em into.

This is the whole reason I prefer the X-movies to the books. The comics have a daunting, unwieldy continuity that you have to slog through to make sense of anything, while the movies are pretty straightforward (even if they screw up the characters sometimes, or seriously under-serve them… Cyclops, I'm lookin' at you).

Waitaminute… "Final issue of Spider-Woman"?

The Flash already proved it could work on TV!

Well, it's an effective literary technique, sure. But for that to be in the movie, it would either be jumping back and forth too quickly for the audience to connect to the characters in either timeline, or it would bloat the movie to an unreasonable length. Not to mention, just cutting the book in half would create a…

… That sucks.

Okay, just an aside: I can't believe that in the five years I've been watching this show and all it's spin-offs, it never ONCE dawned on me to call this universe the "DCW".

Well, it takes time to cram all those dinosaurs into a little plastic rectangle!

Welp, despite never reading the book, never watching the miniseries (despite it having Tim Curry as an evil clown, which SHOULD have been an automatic sell), and having no real interest in the story up to recently… I am now 100% on board with this movie, and I can't wait to see it.

Oooooh… My bad. I didn't realize there had been more than one Killer Frost in the comics. Shows you how boned-up I am on my Firestorm backstory…

Uhh… Wow. Okay. Well, while I appreciate being called "joyless" every now and again (and really— who doesn't?), I'm just gonna point out that I still loved Raimi's Spider-Man films, and that this was, like I said, a minor storytelling detail. In a good movie, the audience can accept the conceit and move on. In a bad…

Well, that's a relatively new development. I'm pretty sure the comic book guys made her an anti-hero because this show sold Caitlyn Snow as a genuinely good person for so long— and because she's probably not gonna be evil on the show FOREVER.

Well, supposedly it created an ambient cold field when it fired that slowed the surrounding molecules and dampened Barry's powers… and Barry DID claim he was moving slower when it fired. I think they just downplayed the gun's efficacy over the ensuing episodes to make him a bit less of a threat for Barry.

Exactly! Thawne got knocked down TWICE, and nobody thought to get in a kill shot while he was out cold?! That's almost as stupid as Thawne NOT murdering everyone in the room the minute he checked out the silent alarm!

DARHK: "The four of us are no match for a speedster…"

Yep. Just like Amanda Waller and poor Deadshot. DAMN YOU, WARNER BROTHERS!!!

I thought the actress (Jessica DeGouw) was a little flat, but the character was a solid "vengeful crazy lady" type… and the episodes that sprang up AROUND her were pretty much all fantastic. Huntress always worked best as a mirror to hold up to Oliver and his own crusade— calling out his hypocrisy and giving him…

Helena would actually be a great addition to the current season of Arrow, in which Oliver is being brought to task for the sins of the past. She could come back as someone who has seen the error of her ways, and lets Oliver know that going down the dark path doesn't have to stain your soul for the rest of your life.

Seeing Felicity running around in the Huntress's old get-up makes me wonder: is Helena Bertinelli ever coming back to the Arrowverse? Or is she, like Captain Boomerang, one of those rare comic-book characters who get caught and thrown into prison, and then actually stays there?

Also Gypsy. Jay. Hawkman and Hawkgirl (though whether they count as "metahumans" is up for debate, due to their magical origins). And Dinah Drake over on Arrow. But yeah, your point still stands.
