Comics on TV - NO MORE COMIC MOVIES


I think I would be more OK with comic super heroes in TV shows than movies now. Only because The Flash, Arrow and Agents of Shield are great examples of what good shows can be. Especially with Flash and Arrow always having "Flarrow" episodes where they constantly reference each other or work together now. Let's just use DC for example:

They have been getting slaughtered by Marvel in the cinematic take on their comics in movies for some time. Why even compete at this point? Yea sure I think Batman vs. Superman will be good but the thought that it will introduce the idea of the Justice League astounds me. Everyone knows that it will take years for DC to make that happen. Why would you shoot yourself in the foot like that? One of the founding members of the Justice League already has a greatly successful show. And The Green Arrow becomes part of the Justice League too! Now you have to cast different actors just to include them in the movie versions which will confuse and anger most fans of the show. When you could just have each Justice League member have their own TV show with moments where they come together as the Justice League.

The CW is trying their best to pick up the pieces of DC's stupidity by giving us Legends of Tomorrow which is basically the closest thing we will be getting to the Justice League on TV. The problem is DC doesn't have the balls to put Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Shazam, Martian Manhunter or Cyborg on TV. All of whom have been in versions of the Justice League and could be easily introduced in The Flash or Arrow. Even though they allowed Supergirl to become a thing and Batman in the form of Gotham but that is just Batman BEFORE Batman...

I really hope that all the easter eggs in The Flash and Arrow regarding the Green Lantern come forward. There are just so many I hope somebody has the balls and know how to put Hal Jordan on the TV screen. They have already brought "meta-humans" in with The Flash and introduced "mysticism" in Arrow so why not "space police" in the form of The Lantern Corps.?

They have the means to make a great TV universe for DC that would be a shit ton more successful than their movies have been in my opinion. It's just will DC have the smarts to see it and take advantage of the opportunity that Flash/Arrow have given them?
