Fangirl Moment! Flash/Arrow Spinoff Series

Recently, Caity Lotz posted on Instagram a picture of a news article announcing that there will be a brand new spin-off series with her, ATOM, Firestorm, Captain Cold, more unknown DC Characters as the main characters. So yeah, it does sound like it's going to be another version of the Justice League but not likely (my big guess is that they are going to be the Justice League of America but that wouldn't add up so well). Am I excited? Of course I am! Caity Lotz officially became one of my actresses mainly because she nailed the Canary role (sorry Laurel, but you'll get there) so well. Not only that, I love Captain Cold even if we still do not know what's his real deal is. Basically, I like the new DC characters of Arrow and The Flash, and I honestly want to see more of them. So personally, I think this whole thing is a really good idea, because this gives us a chance to get to know them more without them interfering with the main plots of the two main CW Series.

My only guess as to why they would do this is because of two words: fan service. It has to be because they intend to include Sara Lance in the series, even if she's *spoilers* dead. If you have seen Twitter or any article related to Sara's death in the first episode of Arrow Season 3, fans were devastated. So yes, I am convinced that Caity Lotz's character was just as loved as Emily Bett's (who plays Felicity Smoak). I'm not sure about ATOM or Firestorm but since they're played by very attractive and talented actors (let's be honest), I guess some fans would definitely want to see them do their own thing. If it's not because of the fan service then I don't know what. My main concern is that it might not end up as popular as they expected it to be. In other words, the characters they chose for this series should be at least--in my opinion--ultimately favored by the fans. Aside from writing a very twisted, good, and cohesive plot, the characters must be high in demand or popular.

It is mentioned in the news that there will be three additional DC characters who still remain a mystery and haven't been seen or mentioned in any DC show yet. Yes, you know what's coming next... who should be the three new DC characters for this series? Here are my picks

1.) Nightwing
I think it's been something that I've been talking about since last year. Putting the bias attitude aside, I really think he should a part of this series and he does not have to be a regular. This can be the perfect opportunity to introduce the upcoming series (assuming the spinoff series comes first), "Titans" which is all about the Teen Titans themselves and Nightwing himself is the leader of this young group. Plus, there used to be rumors that there is the possibility of a crossover between Titans, Arrow, and The Flash. It would make sense for Nightwing to be in this series since he's also the hero of Bludhaven, and he can be the connecting bridge for the future series to come. Let's just hope that CW can still use Nightwing as a character.

2.) Cheshire or Tigress/Artemis
Now this was certainly a hard deliberation for me, because they're both very interesting characters with so much potential. Basically, they were supposed to be one of the "forgotten" DC characters until Young Justice gave them more depth (mostly for Artemis, but you know what I mean). So if the writers based their characters on the Earth 2 or Young Justice Universe, then they could make great arc stories. Aside from the fact that they're supposed to or could be siblings, they are both very enigmatic characters and they both have scandalous family backgrounds. In Young Justice, they were the daughters of Sportsmaster and Huntress (Helena Bertinelli), who were wanted criminals. And it's all right if they don't focus on that, the back story of these characters are just pretty damn interesting. Artemis Crock is originally a villain, a minor member of the Injustice Society. In Young Justice, she suffers from some sort of identity crisis, unable to decide if she's a villain or a not. Cheshire, also known as Jade, she is originally the daughter of Lady Shiva (a villain of Batman...ehem Batman *points to Nightwing* Batman) and a member of the League of Shadows, or also known as League of Assassins...need I say more? These chicks can be potential anti-heroes of the series, and if we want feels... Cheshire became the wife of Roy Harper (but not exactly the Roy we know in Arrow), and Artemis was also the love interest of Wally West, who is the nephew of Iris West and is also known as Kid Flash, a member of Teen Titans and the protege of Barry Allen. Artemis was married to Icicle Jr. who was also a member of Injustice Society, but that's a different story altogether.

3.) The First Ravager, Son of Deathstroke
Do I really have to explain why he should be included in the cast? He's the son of Slade Wilson! The offspring of the Deathstroke that we came to know. The son that he's been talking about since Lian Yu! And so far, we only heard of him so why not make him a character? Because believe it or not, he's just like his father. Why? Simple. Grant Wilson is the original Ravager until his sister took the mantle. Not only that, he's also a member of the Teen Titans. But just like Jason Todd, he didn't live long to tell his tale. Now I wonder why Deathstroke became the main villain of the Teen Titans in the first place....

And there you have it! If you have your own set of picks, let me know. And let us wish CW more awesome DC series to come. Till the next post~
