oliver just told laural that felicity was not voldemort

that's the third Harry Potter reference I've heard this week.

someone on Supergirl, I think, said "muggle", and Lucifer used Tom Riddle as an example of patricide

yes

,igg;e was def said in the flash cross over ep

muggle

whats lucifer

is that a comic show, or just whatever

its based on the Vertigo comic, similar to Constantine and iZombie

Lucifer (DC Comics)

Lucifer Morningstar is a DC Comics character appearing primarily as a supporting character in the comic book series The Sandman and as the title character of a spin-off, both published under the Vertigo imprint. Though various depictions of Lucifer – the Biblical fallen angel and Devil of the Abrahamic religions – have been presented by DC Comics in their run, this interpretation by Neil Gaiman debuted in The Sandman in 1989. Like many modern interpretations of Satan, DC's Lucifer owes much to the character's portrayal in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, though Gaiman adapts the character...

are they part of a universe?

dc ic

no, separate, like iZombie

12:09 AM

is it like a 3rd party comic that DC owns but not really part of dc?

help me understand

constantine had cross overs so thats why im confused

all Vertigo comics are DC comics but just a different "brand"

like Marvel and their MAX imprint for a while.

Vertigo comics do occasionally cross over with the main DC universe but not often because they were more "adult-oriented"

things like Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, Sandman were all Vertigo

though I think now they've moved all the main-DC comics back to the DC name, and Vetrigo is basically a publishing house for isolated creator-owned comics.

makes sense

also. for the record. Felicity Smoak is a moron

i hate, i love you, but i cant be with you shit

kill the writters

12:24 AM

"You have literally kept secrets from every single human being you know for the entire time that I have known you and I have never had any problem with it before but now I found out one relatively minor secret that you had a perfectly reasonable explanation for keeping from me and that's it, we're over."

oh, wait, Flash also referred to the time wraiths as dementors, I think, so that's 4 HP references this week

lol

wtf

okay dc

2 hours later…

2:11 AM

@KutuluMike but, as i understood it, max was still 616 - just sort of labeled differently

jessica jones was max

i love how everyone was talking like felicity had been gone for months.it's been 1 "week".

and apparently i missed something. why was curtis randomly using the phone to detect... things... that led to the ~~bunker~~ arrowcave

@KutuluMike and the secret that a) was not a vital life or death secret and b) he was blackmailed into keeping

2:29 AM

@phantom42 every single human involved in this storyline is acting like a moron except the kid.

Mom: You are untrustworthy and a liar. Therefore I will only allow you to see your son if you lie to everyone else, especially the woman that trusts you most.

Oliver: I had no idea my son existed and my life is too dangerous for him to be in, and his mother hates me, but I will lie to the woman I am in love with so I can see him a few minutes a month.

prob should have been like, sueing for visiting rights

ok. catching up on Legends of Tomorrow.

Rip Hunter's idea of "blending in" in 1960s middle America was to pair up a mixed-race couple?

2:46 AM

yes

yes, i griped about this too

it was dumb enough sending the black kid into the all white racist town

"hey, go mingle"

send sara with ray, send chayara as steins nurse assistant.

then put chayara in the atom suit with the knife, shrink down, go all innerspace in savage, re-enlarge while inside him and kill that boring ass guy

or.. you know.. just pick a terminator plan, and kill his mother/him as a child

re-watched more dollhouse tonight. "wendy", the girl alpha kidnaps.. that's the waitress from avengers, and one of the girls from much ado about nothing.

those whedons and their constant recasting of people

3:17 AM

Saw the last episode of Flash!

user116211

It was really one of the best episodes of s2.....

user116211

@skillpatrol:o/

o/

cool room

user116211

@skillpatrol time zones....

the colours are much easier on the eyes

user116211

3:21 AM

It was worth watching how Barry tackled with Eobard-in-Wells....

user116211

The famous chair locked interview.....

user116211

It was really strong.....

user116211

And of course, the Time Wraiths

user116211

I was glad to see Hartly....

user116211

His hair style changed ;P

user116211

3:23 AM

But the most heart touching was....

user116211

Eddie's video message.....

"barry, don't screw with the timeline"
barry: "how many things can i do to screw with the timeline?"

user116211

I literally got emotional...

user116211

@phantom42 Ha!

right from the beginning, interfering with the fight with hartley

and then preventing the hub explosion

user116211

3:25 AM

The closing lines are worth noting.....

i'm only really surprised he didnt use the time to reveal his identity to more people

user116211

@phantom42: Do you know Flash is in hiatus again?

...other than hartley

user116211

@phantom42 Hahahahaha.....

i dont. i watch via hulu, so i dont see "next week" teasers

user116211

3:26 AM

@phantom42 Yep! You told me earlier.

user116211

@phantom42: BTW, you remember Chronos from LoT?

i do

user116211

Guess what?

user116211

Who is behind the mask?

is it jay garrick?

jay garrick is everyone

along with negan

user116211

3:27 AM

@phantom42 Sarcasm is in peak :)

user116211

No!

user116211

It is none other than....

jar jar?

user116211

Mick Rory aka Heat-Wave :(

user116211

I knew Snart didn't kill him....

user116211

3:28 AM

but never expected this ;/

yeah, snart had changed too much to actually kill him

but that seems kinda dumb

chronos was trying to kill them back from early on

"hey, i know, i'll go hunt down my younger self and try to kill me. that definitely won't cause a paradox"

user116211

@phantom42 I watch this show only for Snart and Martin Stein....

user116211

@phantom42 Grandfather paradox in physics :)

well, they sort of subscribed to the BTTF rules earlier

steins wedding ring started disappearing

or did disappear

user116211

Time masters picked Mick when Snart left him.... they trained him for years to become CHRONOS.

user116211

3:31 AM

And our kind stupid damn Rip Hunter

user116211

thinks he can rehabilitate Mick after seeing all his menaces; he keeps him with all the team in the ship...

user116211

WTF!

did rip know chronos was mick?

user116211

@phantom42 no.

user116211

And meanwhile in Arrow, Olicity nonsense is going on....

user116211

3:37 AM

and on and on....

i hope curtis doesnt become the new felicity

dont really like him

reminds me of that guy from it crowd

hate him too

user116211

@phantom42: Did you see this?

user116211

user image

i saw the ad. hadnt clicked it yet

user116211

Is it related to April 1?

3:43 AM

is it april 1st now?

i have no concept of date or time anymore

i'm not even sure how i got here

user116211

@phantom42 Indian Standard Time.....

user116211

But they follow UTC....

user116211

@phantom42 Wait, what is the time in your place?

11:45 PM

SE considers it april 1st if it's april 1st anywhere.

that's how all their seasonal stuff works.

user116211

3:47 AM

@KutuluMike oh

user116211

@phantom42 UTC-4

so it'll be available for probably another 36 hours or so

Q: Why does Senator Finch suspect Superman's involvement in the "desert incident"?

In Batman v Superman, Superman is called by Senator Finch to some kind of Congressional Hearing to account for what happened in the desert It's made clear in the movie why this hearing happens and who the real instigator is. It's less clear how the Senator or anyone who has seen Superman use h...

10:41 AM

ammy was spotted again this morning. very close to her last sighting a few days ago, but this time, moving in the opposite (and better) direction - back towards town/the houses. she's probably going back into those woods there, but at least better than the giant reserve one the other side of alafaya. and more importantly, she's still in the area

Q: Was Barry Allen ever mentioned in the Justice League Cartoon

In both Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, was Barry Allen ever mentioned? After re-watching most of Justice League Unlimited again recently, Hal Jordan appeared in "The Once and Future Thing" part 2, due to the time skip, but don't remember any mention of Barry.

dcau justice-league

@phantom42 How long has it been now?

user116211

11:39 AM

Did anyone notice what Barry wrote in the board as speed equation before Eobard-in Wells?

user116211

3x2(9yz)4a

user116211

Ha!

user116211

Can anyone recognise this number?

11:56 AM

@DrRDizzle a week as of yesterday afternoon

you mean besides being the speed force equation in the comics?

user116211

@phantom42 You didn't watch the last episode Flash Back, did you?

yes, i did

user116211

@phantom42 Then you noticed when the future Barry wrote that in front of the then Wells?

the equation on the board is the same equation as it is in the comics. is there some other connection?

user116211

Easter egg?

user116211

12:01 PM

Need another clue?

i guess so because i'm running on about 2 hours of sleep

user116211

okay, Earth 2 Wells has his daughter named Jesse Quick?

@MAFIA36790 yup

user116211

okay, I'm talking about....

user116211

Johny Quick

user116211

12:05 PM

If anyone could remember this speedster, he invoked his power reciting that above formula....

O-o

user116211

He didn't believe in speed-force, although.

possibly, but he also taught it to his daughter jesse

user116211

@AnkitSharma o_O

who is already in the show

but sure, there's room for even more speedsters

and more people to learn barry's identity

user116211

12:06 PM

I don't think 3x2(9yz)4a is the sole equation....

Did supergirl and flash race?

you need fairy dust and happy thoughts too

@AnkitSharma not really.

user116211

for this is known to Barry already.....

user116211

@AnkitSharma: Where do you watch Supergirl?

12:09 PM

@KutuluMike k

@MAFIA36790 I don't. Only seen the leaked episode and disliked it

user116211

@AnkitSharma oh.

user116211

@phantom42 More and more Jay Garricks.....

It didn't made into my list ;)

user116211

@AnkitSharma oh!

Will check daredevil season 2 this weekend and might watch left-out of arrowverse episodes

user116211

12:12 PM

Whatever you people say, you have to agree that the Flash Back was really one of the strong episodes, I saw so far.

user116211

@AnkitSharma: Saw the Arrow last episode?

user image

@MAFIA36790 Watched nothing after last break

@phantom42 Too old ;p

besides the normal amount of barry being stupid, yes, this was a pretty good flash ep.

especially compared to some of the real crappy ones this year

@phantom42 So he revealed his identity to?

12:15 PM

not purposefully this time, but the new member of team flash likely knows

i'm referring more to the fact that as soon as he gets back to the past, he immediately goes about screwing up the timeline

9 hours ago, by phantom42

"barry, don't screw with the timeline"
barry: "how many things can i do to screw with the timeline?"

Batman v Superman director debunks Joker-was-Robin fan theory

does DC have a lead consultant like whedon was?

because synder just says that that's the backstory he came up with, but apparently never made explicit in the movie

@phantom42 That's a long time, I hope things work out.

user116211

@AnkitSharma Will watch LoT today at 7PM

which means that unless someone from above says otherwise, anyone else, suicide squad included, could come through and steamroll that

@DrRDizzle thanks. apparently, this is not uncommon with rescue dogs. a fact which is minorly comforting, i suppose, but not really.

12:31 PM

@phantom42 as I understand it, DC/WB has given Snyder control over the whole DCEU

I'm pretty sure he's listed as a producer on Suicide Squad

@KutuluMike Well, RIP any chance of a film being really good.

it's not like he's writing or directing them all

but I got the strong impression that he's "running" the shared universe

@KutuluMike But he hates superheroes.

good thing Suicide Squad has no superheros

@KutuluMike Batman is in it.

12:36 PM

I assume he's just a cameo

@KutuluMike He should show up and just kill all of the Suicide Squad.

this also assumes that dc doesn't listen to the petitions and fire snyder

which they probably wont do

but it's still pretty funny

Well, they shouldn't listen to petitions because people are dumb.

they might not fire him but you can bet he's getting an earful

But in this specific circumstance, they should definitely listen to this one petition.

12:40 PM

someone already mentioned in here that they went back to reshoot a bunch of Suicide Squad stuff, right?

it'll all come down to how well it does financially

thats all they really care about

yeah, someone mentioned it last night

@phantom42 It was me!

are you sure? i thought it was keen

@phantom42 Oh, maybe not then. I posted a link to an article about it for sure though.

it wasn't keen in here...

20 hours ago, by Dr R Dizzle

i did see keen in TSR though

12:49 PM

was joking. i havent seen keen anywhere since... things.

my humor fails this early and on this little sleep

ah. but i did see him in M&TV so i missed the joke :)

in The Screening Room, Mar 27 at 18:11, by Keen

It lasted so long as well.

3 hours later…

4:24 PM

just watching the trailer, I was afraid I would hate every scene that Luthor had dialogue in.

and I did

4:35 PM

was it the fault of eisenberg, or the script, or a little from column A and a little from column B?

the words were not interesting, but the delivery was terrible

so probably both.

I actually cringed at the red capes line

it didn't even make sense in context.

it just comes out of nowhere and you're like "Are you sure this guy is reading the right script?"

there may also be an element of "Jesse Eisenburg is about the least Lex Luthor actor in Hollywood"

from superman cartoons ive seen lex is always buff, well spoken, and doesnt appear on the edge of a mental breakdown

eisenburg looked like he was about to freak out at any moment, if he had to play a character i pegged him as a riddler type

he was playing like, a young hipster Luthor with a hint of Joker

definitely a character we either 1) never need to see on screen again, or 2) needs to be recast immediately

even if it wasn't Eisenberg's fault, he's ruined Luthor

@Himarm but movie versions are not that at all

see: hackman and spacey

i dont remember them being borderline insane, i really did get a joker vibe of him. i have only seen the other superman movies once years ago, but eisenburg like starts rambling in one scene and like upsets himself its so weird

4:50 PM

spacey was pretty wacky

hackman was almost a joke at times

i thought everyone hated that last superman movie, with the guy who plays Atom in it, but it got rated good?

everyone did hate it until Man of Steel came out :)

i have a friend who swears by superman returns

i dont trust him for movie reviews

i remeber feeling about the same after seeing man of steel

meh superman sucks

lol

though i did like batman and robin

so nobody trusts me for reviews either

to be fair i was 8
