Re: CW Eyes ‘Flash’ Series With ‘Arrow’s Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg & David Nutt
I'm not a comic reader, so thanks for pointing that out. My point was not complaining about the name Impulse itself, but that the TV shows has had this history of giving Superheros stupid names. Liking calling Superman "The Blur" in Smallville, and calling Green Arrow "The Hood" in Arrow. That's what I was really griping about...

They chose to call the character Bart Allen, just like they chose to call him Impulse, which is just as lame or lamer than The Blur... 
Do these shows save a ton of money for never using the superhero's real nicknames? Are they only reserved for the big screens so that any TV shows cannot use it? Other than financial reasons there doesn't seem to be any good justifications for these inane names.
Anyway will probably check it out if it's ordered.

Whenever they don't use the most popular incarnation of a character, it is always tied to the movie division nixing the idea. A Flash movie has been in development hell for over a decade at WB, going back to a time when Wally West would have been the Flash.

I don't get this talk of no superpowers. I know they said no flight for sups is smallville, but I don't ever recall them saying no superpowers for arrow.

Ok, I hadn't read that. So who cares if they are going back on their word? If it makes the show better and launches another good show in the process, I'm fine with that.

Either way I'm a huge Flash fan so I'm happy he's finally getting a new show. There's also talk of a new movie in 2016 or later.

This opens the door to superpowered villains on Arrow. Superspeed is by far the cheapest superpower one can effectively show on a weekly basis in television. Smallville banned flying because it would have cost too much on a weekly basis and expanded story possibilities beyond the capability of that series.
