Someone in the IO9 comments said that Rip Hunter is being played by Doctor Who's Rory. I'm not sure I see it, but maybe he's just that good an actor?
- Bob Schroeck - 05-23-2015
Yeah, that's him -- IMDB is listing "Legends of Tomorrow" as his most recent work.

Well, I have not yet seen Arrow, but have the appearances of Professor Stein there had such a Hulk vibe?
Does anyone know why it's "White Canary"?
- Bob Schroeck - 05-27-2015
Yeah, according to the IO9 comments it's because her sister Laurel took over being Black Canary. I haven't watched nearly that far into Arrow yet, so I can't vouch for that spoiler.
And just in case you want to blow your mind, Professor Stein is this guy:

Probably due to fear of backlash from the SJW contingent. :p
EDIT: Just got Ninja'd by Bob. Appropriate considering it's his board.

Quote:Matrix Dragon wrote:They made Mark Hamill the Trickster in both cases because he was the Trickster in the original Flash TV series with John Wesley Shipp, the actor who is playing Barry's dad in the new Flash show. Professor Stein (and Ronnie Raymond) are both from that show, and while their Firestorm is not the Nuclear Man that Gerry Ordway created, he's still pretty cool. I wish they hadn't turned the Atom into Iron Man*, though. I would have preferred the shrinking hero.Quote:Bob Schroeck wrote:The producers on Arrow, Flash and Supergirl love their casting gags.

(* - Having not seen Ray Palmer in "Arrow" yet, I'm only struck with what I saw in "The Flash." But Brandon Routh is basically playing the squeaky-clean, Boy Scout version of Tony Stark. Complete with power armor.)

Originaly Brandon Routh was supposed to play Ted Kord, not Ray Palmer. Plans changed and on Arrow's season finale Ray suffered an accident that ties to the last part of the teaser.

Probably a rights broughaha involving the "public domain" Golden Age Blue Beetle and the creators of the Silver-Bronze and Modern versions.
That said, they're probably trying to put together or pitched the Jamie Reyes version as its own series for a teen Latino lead character.

Well, it seems DC pulled the same idiocy as they did with the Suicide Squad appearances on Arrow. If they are going to keep the TV and Cinematic universes separate as they claim then I don't see a need to cripple the shows.

Just be warned, everything that involves Black Canary is big spoilers for Seasons 2 and 3 Arrow.
