Will Green Lantern Ever Make It To The Arrow-Verse

At the end of its third season, Arrow teased the fans with the ship Oliver boarded to Coast City. Then we watched him as Amanda Waller pulled him out of the city as early as the beginning of the fourth season taking him back to the island of Lian Yu as part of an A.R.G.U.S. mission. We all hate Waller for that.

This wasn't the first time Coast City was teased Detective McKenna Hall relocated to Coast City for treatment before that in the main timeline after being shot by the Huntress, Helena Bertinelli causing her temporary paralysis.

Coast City also got a couple of mentions on the Flash. Barry used his speed to buy his friends some Coast City Pizza. One the Flash as well we had a relocation to Coast City by Linda Park after she almost died at the hands of Zoom during the show's second season.

But more importantly after seeing Arrow boarding the boat to Coast City news flooded about the casting of Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris. The names of the cast members were right there on IMDb as well, then things changed and only the Carol name stuck around. The that as well was taken away from the viewers.

On the upcoming season of Arrow though Carly Pope has been cast in the role of Susan Williams who in the comic books is also known as Susan Williams Jordan, wife of one Jim Jordan and sister-in-law of one Hal Jordan.The new reporter will be first appearing on Arrow on the third episode of the show's upcoming season.

The question is would that choice of casting bring Hal Jordan/The Green Lantern on step closer to showing up on Arrow. A couple of months ago the answer could have been no. Basically, after what seemed to be a confirmed decision to bring Hal Jordan into the fourth season of Arrow, the whole news about DC Cinematic Universe characters not appearing on the DC TV Universe and vice versa came up. They even seemed to kill Amanda Waller on the fourth season of Arrow on purpose in order to facilitate for a complete separation of both universes, considering Amanda Waller is a key player in the Suicide Squad story line which is what the latest DC movie is all about.

But recently minds have been changed and we are going to be able to see one of the biggest and most Cinematic Universe characters on one of the TV Universe shows, Superman. As most of you probably know already Tyler Hoechlin has been cast to play the Man of Steel on Supergirl in its sophomore season. The news came as a surprise to a lot of people, especially after they tried to avoid showing him like the plague in the first season and ended up always showing his back momentarily or replacing his existence in Kara Zor-El's life by having them chat over text once every few episodes.

But now that this change has happened, and regardless of the planned 2020 Green Lantern Corps movie, there is a good chance we could actually see more major DC characters including Green Lantern. There's no harm from wishing.

And remember Arrow returns on October 5th will all new episodes.

Cloud Atlas (2012): No Spoiler Review

I was not prepared. Words that many World of Warcraft players would find funny given they are a variation of the infamous character among WoW fans Illidan Stormrage. But it is true. I was not prepared at all. I started watching Cloud Atlas as one other movie for Tom Hanks, one that is probably going to be good but not as good as the ones that got all the hype when they were released. But I was definitely surprised and unable to get out of my seat and away from my screen. This is one of those movies that is so hard to describe and review without spoilers. However, it is also one that is impossible to describe and review with the use of so many spoilers, if any at all. Every actor/actress in this movie has portrayed multiple characters. Tom Hanks for starters did a great performance with every single character he portrayed from distant future Zachry to 70s scientist Isaac Sachs among 6 roles he portrayed in the movie out of which 4 were major and 2 although minor ...

Bridge of Spies (2015): Review (May Contain Spoilers)

Standing there like that you reminded me of the man that used to come to our house when I was young. My father used to say: "watch this man'. So I did. Every time he came. And never once did he do anything remarkable. The words of Rudolf Abel in one of the most epic conversations between him and James Donovan as part of One hundred and forty minutes of Tom Hanks as James Donovan, One hundred and forty minutes of  Mark Rylance as Rudolf Abel, One hundred and forty minutes of classic, epic, awesome acting, awesome story and last but not least of great entertainment. The conversation continues when Donovan responds: And I remind you of him? To which Abel responds: This one time, I was at the age of your son, our house was overrun by partisan border guards. Dozens of them. My father was beaten, my mother was beaten, and this man, my father's friend, he was beaten. And I watched this man. Every time they hit him, he stood back up again. So they hit him harder. Stil...

American Gothic - Season 1 Episode 9: Spoiler Review

The latest episode of American Gothic actually managed to make things a bit better, in fact just when it seemed like it was hitting rock bottom, the show improved by a lot rather than a bit. The most recent episode gave us a closer glimpse at Garrett's character, who he was and what he is like. He is still a little bit enigmatic seeing as to how the show did not tell us who he killed as a teenager. However, it did give us a great insight on where he grew up between leaving his family and coming back fourteen years later after Tessa called him with news about his hospitalized father. The episode guest starred M.C. Gainey whom we probably all remember as Tom/Mr. Friendly on Lost. The actor did a very good job in portraying the friend and companion of Garrett's journey away from his family. As Garrett is now in jail and awaiting trial for being the partner to one Silver Bells Killer we see him flashback to relationships with his entire family, how he left and how he came ...
