“These are DC’s characters, we’re just renting them ya know, so we use the characters that they tell us we can use when we can use them, and we work around whatever limitations that places us,” Guggenheim explained. “For a time they were saying ‘you can’t use Deathstroke’, and that changed and we were able to have Slade Wilson back on the show, and now we’re back to ‘you can’t use him’. They’re working on the feature film version. batman-news.com/2017/12/21/arrow-cant-use-deathstroke-again/That's a shame, I love Manu in the role.

oh that's great. rob your tv shows of one of their best characters because of a Batman movie that may or may not actually happen.

I really don't understand shit like this. I don't watch the CW shows and really don't intend to start, but the hell is it going to hurt how a movie does having the character in a TV show? Dark Knight sure as hell wasn't hurt by having Joker on The Batman so why couldn't they use Two-Face?

I bet a lot of Arrow fans are hoping for a Felicity film sometime soon.

Ah, we're back to the days of Justice League's "Bat Embargo" where they were told to not use Riddler or some other Batman villains.
I guess oversaturation is a concern, but I think fans get that the shows and movies are not in continuity with each other, anyway.

This is such crap. These DC films are sinking faster than the Titanic while the CW DC shows keep growing. Plus it's not as if you have the same characters on the CW shows and DC films already. Hell Superman has shown up and the Flash has his own damn show. I mean I know Manu can't be a regular with Shanara ongoing but when he can show up he ups the quality with his presence alone.

That is why they had to get rid of Deadshot on Arrow and I liked him more on Arrow

Sorry, the explanations and everything lose merit when you have The Flash in Justice League and getting his own movie while a wildly popular TV show exists on CW. Unless they're planning on ending it after this season, which would be just enough for me to stop watching all of it.

This maybe a little out there, but I think it's more "these guys don't want THEIR version compared to the other one." Which is stupid because, if anything DC can get away with that by saying: "Multivese!" One of their oldest concepts.

Back to the Bat Embargo days. Some idiot executive who shouldn't be allowed to breed frothing at the mouth, "YOU'RE GOING TO CONFUSE PEOPLE BECAUSE I'M TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND A MULTIVERSE."
Whichever executive made that call should be asked why simple concepts are too hard for them to understand before they're fired with a public explanation on every network news broadcast that they are mentally incapable of simple thought and their spouse and children are likely as unemployable due to being related to such a massive idiot.

Dammit - he's been the best part of this season, and now I fear that we're not going to get a final payoff to the story that started over his two episode arch (I suspected that his son's group would eventually conspire with Cayden Welch's group, bringing Slade back in).

And the DC/WB embargo reawakens and rears its ugly ass head..... You know, this is why they couldnt put the Joker or any bat-characters on Justice League Unlimited, could they be getting ready to pull Cyborg from Teen Titans Go?

You know, this is why they couldnt put the Joker or any bat-characters on Justice League Unlimited, could they be getting ready to pull Cyborg from Teen Titans Go? Yes, it was petty then (WB was trying to force out the Timmverse because of the Kids' WB shows...notice how it wasn't a problem for a while after that; i.e. Joker was in TDK but also seen on Brave and the Bold). I'd imagine something equally petty is going on now. As if they see the CW shows as a "threat" to the DCCU? (a Tommy Wiseau comeback would be a threat to the DCCU!)
