That reminds me that, this being based around the Teen Titans, means Deathstroke's likely going to show up eventually. Not that I'd particularly mind, but it feels like he's in everything these days .
Static would be really cool to see, and it would just be really nice to see him getting more exposure in general. His powers could probably work with a TV budget, though I wonder if they could work in his disk?

All that I would like to know it's how are they gonna handle the Titans, is it a gritty reboot like so many other adaptations these days? Because that would mean we'll most likely get an emo Nightwing (oh no, my dad is a crazy ass who thinks he's a bat)...

Take away his hydrokinesis (or have it that it takes a toll on him and he only uses it on key occasions) and just keep super strength and durability. Breathing underwater and fast swimming would only come into play on episodes the Titans go to the beach

It might be crazy, but I kind of wish we had more animated hero series more than the live action stuff. Some heroes I think it can work alright for like Green Arrow. But some I think would just be better animated so they can have some awesome looking shows. Only so much a TV series can do with their budget.

Beyond that, I would love to see a Justice Society of America animated television show or movie, only if it is set in WWII though, and it didn't 't feature The Big Three. |

Not to mention that Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series got similar treatment when they were on DC Nation, which was especially bad for Green Lantern . So with that, and how the movies are at the moment, I'm more than willing to be excited and optimistic about this DC TV universe and The Flash. The creators seem to be putting in a lot of effort to make it a true Superhero show with a comic-book feel, and stay true to the source material, and most of what I've seen (Interviews, clips, etc.) has me pumped to see the Scarlet Speedster in the flesh and on the small screen once again as well as what the creative team have in store . And with the premier tonight, one more promo with a few special teases: And presenting, Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold:
