Re: Atom -- In Development at The CW -- From the Producers of Arrow & The Flash
Huh well this definitely sounds interesting and I'm intrigued. I guess this either becomes some type of Justice League series, but Miller being in their makes that not seem possible. Secret Six maybe? Or with all those random characters, I wonder if it's some type of Brave and the Bold series?
As for Lotz I'm betting that she ends up playing another character other than Sara Lance like Power Girl or Ice. And how come the other half of Firestorm wasn't mentioned in this article?

It would be cool if they make subtle references to an unseen founder/benefactor that up and ditched the team for the same reasons Batman left them in the comics. Would be a nice Easter Egg for comic book fans.

So will Felicity be guest starring and sleeping with all of them? That's what I really want to know.

Mmmmm....at this point I wouldn't mind if they called it The Brave and the Bold. Before Batman took over the title it was always different characters teaming up.

It's really weird they don't mention Robbie Amell. I hope they're able to keep three series going, because Arrow has definitely suffered with just two.

They wouldn't bring back Sarah as Canary, because they're grooming Laurel for that role.
How is Dr. Stein going to be involved in this without Ronnie Raymond?

Maybe Ronnie gets separated somehow and Lotz becomes female Firestorm. Stein in a female body could be interesting.

Well, it's always possible that Ronnie stays on Flash, and, whenever Firestorm is needed on either, they do their slick little merge, and that's that. I thought in the comics they could just form Firestorm at the drop of a hat, regardless of where the other was in the world.
Or, alternatively, something happens with Ronnie, and Stein is left in control of the body, with Ronnie being regulated to the voice.
And as far as Lotz is concerned, they could easily do the Lazarus Pit, given what we've seen on Arrow with Ra's. Or, conversely, they could also pull a bit of time travel, and have Flash somehow "save" her, or pull her through time with him.

Not to be one of those 'too many comic book shows' guys but aren't they pushing it a little with all these comic book shows? So there will be at least 5 shows based on DC/Marvel. Agents of Shield, Gotham, Arrow, Flash & now Atom. While I do enjoy them & will watch them, having so many will potentially cause superhero fatigue in the general viewing audience.

As for Dr. Stein without Ronnie Raymond, the answer is Jason Rusch. He was already brought up on the Flash, my guess is that they will use the newer, blacker version of Firestorm if Amell has other commitments.

Sara could be played off as her body not being buried but stolen and thrown into the Lazarus Pit or already had the ability to heal and just never returned. Play a new character though because we cant have 2 Black Canary unless Laurel gives up her "night job" ... or Sara comes back and kills Laurel because she is shitty at it.

Wow, this sounds like it could be kick ass.

It amazes me how much more interested I am in DC tv shows and the DCAU than I am in their films. It seems like those two divisions have things way more together than whoever is in charge of the films.

IDK, I'll wait for judgment after seeing Batman vs. Superman and if they follow through with the proposed schedule. Also, by comparison it's easier to put together a TV show, and animated movies, versus the live-action films. A lot more on the line since each movie will cost at least $150 million (and $200M+ for Justice League). They're going to be more cautious with the DCMU.

I do remember that token appearance, though they could always claim it was his cousin. I want Katana as a character.
The money is the real issue at hand. Networks go through failed television shows each season, they can simply move on to the next one if a project fails to draw interest. If a blockbuster movie fails it can sink an entire studio's quarterly revenues.

Exactly. Just responding to how those involved with these shows and DCAU movies have it more together versus the feature film division at Warner/DC. Not only does it sink a studio's revenues but, in the case of the proposed DCMU line, it could sink that as well as you'll have execs who will be gun shy about future endeavors and scale it down to perhaps only include Batman and Superman (esp if Wonder Woman doesn't succeed). You see this already in the DCAU line where it's Batman, Superman or Justice League. Anything else apparently doesn't sell.

Actual production may be difficult, but it shouldn't be harder to write a 2-hour movie than a 20+ hour series. Yet, DC manages to make it so.
