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. They made Mark Hammil the Trickster because he did the voice in an ep of Justice League, Barry Allens dad is played by the man that played Barry Allen in the 90s Flash show, they cast previous Kryptonians as Karas parents in Supergirl - I'm pretty much certain the moment they realized they were showing a british time traveller, they grabbed the Doctor Who cast list.
Yeah, that's him -- IMDB is listing "Legends of Tomorrow" as his most recent work.
(* - 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.)
