Ah, they're planning for a possible spin-off. That explains why they went a wee bit "bigger" with the casting of these two. This is the final nail in the coffin on Ritchson being Shazam though. Fiddlesticks. 😢

 

[aly]

I have never found Hawk and Dove interesting, so whatever.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Who the fuck cares about Hawk and Dove?

I do

 

[Palmer_v1]

Is Hawk a comedic character? Don't know shit about them.

Thad, however, was the best damn thing about Blue Mountain State.

LOL god no

Dude flipped out and killed everybody because his best friend died

oh shit forgot it was him. never did finish that series.

Unfortunate. The actor can be funny as hell, IMO, but no idea about his drama chops.

 

[J_Viper]

Again: ?

The streaming market is over-saturated as is

Are there really a ton of people out there dying to add another streaming service to their monthly bills so they can watch this?

Yes.

 

[Tabby]

Pretty much. Who even are they?

 

[Anung]

Nobody really but you could probably do something pretty interesting with them considering the political climate.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Lyla Garrity, brehs.

 

[shira]

Bottom of the barrel dc heroes

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Bottom of the barrel dc heroes

That one Justice League unlimited episode with Wonder Woman was fire though.

 

[night814]

Hawk and Dove actually have a pretty interesting background. They are living breathing peace treaties. The Lords of Order and The Lords of Chaos decided they will create avatars in order to end the war between them.

Dove keeps Hawk from going nuclear and Hawk keeps Dove from just being a bystander. A lot of meat to work with if someone cared

If someone cares of course, they could do a whole season about chaos/order in the DCU.

 

[Parallax]

Know you holding out for Jericho

It's gonna happen sooner or later. They keep dropping hints

Who the fuck cares about Hawk and Dove?

That can be said for every character that's not greatly known

 

[Wag]

Ah, Smallville Aquaman.

Smallville Aquaman is surrounded by Smallville seamen.

You make it sound like this is the hook for the streaming service when they're going to have the DC library to give to fans and potentially a digital comic service too.

If you're a comic book fan you'd be crazy to not try it out.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Checking the link, Grayson has been cast as well. That just leaves Beast Boy from the initial casting call that we saw. Curious to see who else is going to appear in the show.

 

[xxracerxx]

Minka Kelly?

 

[BKatastrophe]

LOL god no

Dude flipped out and killed everybody because his best friend died

Extant would've been easier to deal with if Hourman hadn't fucked up

 

[kswiston]

Minka Kelly?

Maybe someone pittied her after Almost Human was canned in half a season.

 

[Slayven]

Extant would've been easier to deal with if Hourman hadn't fucked up

And Monarch wouldn't have done the damage if it wasn't for Waverider


What do we learn about that? Time based superheroes need to stand back.

 

[BKatastrophe]

You should try watching that again, because it's terrible.

For sure.

Golden Age Hourman was dope tho.

 

[HStallion]

Middle Aged Titans doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Hourman One Million's solo was dope

Middle Aged Titans doesn't quite have the same thing to it.

Wouldn't that be the Outsiders?

 

[kswiston]

They can bust out a Tolkeinism and call that group the Tween Titans.

 

[Dali]

I thought dove was a dude. At least that's what justice league unlimited taught me. That show is responsible for like 99% of my knowledge of dc characters outside the staples.

 

[night814]

I've always felt a Batman/Nightwing and the Outsiders show would work but it's probably the Boston Brand and Metamorpho fan in me.

The Male dove was killed.

 

[Parallax]

The Male dove was killed.

And didn't want to come back to life. Don't forget that part

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

I like Hawk and Dove.

I don't like having to sub to another streaming service but whatever. I stuck with seeso til the grave so why not.

 

[Slayven]

I always thought Deadman could have his own show. Kinda of like the Pretender.

And didn't want to come back to life. Don't forget that part

After witnessing the DCU for 20 years from the outside, would you?

 

[BKatastrophe]

Before Arrow, there was originally rumors of that being the DC show to replace Smallville.

If I recall, it was apparently pitched as a Quantum Leap-esque show, with a different person to possess each week.

The problem with that is Sam Becket couldn't control his leaps and on top of that he could actually die if the person he jumped in dies. So any danger that befell his host had stakes but also he had no real choice in possessing them. My understanding of deadman (once again from jl unlimited) is he possesses people. Like just car jacks them. He'd come across as a big asshole and putting his host in any danger has no stakes for him and makes him an even bigger asshole. I guess that's why we got arrow.

I mean it's not a one-to-one obviously. Just the base premise of possessing a different person each week. Add in an overlapping supernatural mystery and you've got a solid TV series for at least a season.

I fail to see how using QL's base premise is a problem for a Deadman show.

 

[Volimar]

But still no Wonder Twins. Where your priorities at DC?

I remember those rumors. Yeah Deadman isn't a dick he isn't going to get people killed. The mystery figuring out who murdered him, plus interacting with the supernatural community would be dope as fuck. Madam Xanadau could be supporting, and hell he could live in the house of Mystery

 

[Joni]

Interesting to see if Minka Kelly will be good in this.

Before Arrow? Before Smallville even. That is how long they had been trying that. On the other hand, it feels like they have been trying that for years with Titans as well.

God it would be so cool.

Oh really? I wasn't aware that it was that long. I just remember with all the rumors and "news" regarding CW scrambling to replace Smallville with another big DC property. Then there was talk of a Green Arrow show, which many thought would use Ollie from Smallville, however they instead chose to do a full reboot.

It's a shame it will never be done.
