The CW Developing "Superhero Team-Up Show" Featuring The Atom, Captain Cold, and More
The CW's superhero TV shows Arrow and The Flash are doing very well for the network right now - so much so that we'd heard a possible spin-off series was in the works for Brandon Routh's character, Ray Palmer/The Atom. Now Deadline has the details of that project, which isn't only a showcase for Routh, but a "superhero team-up show" that will star Routh, Wentworth Miller, Victor Garber, and Caity Lotz.
Fans of The Flash will know that Miller plays villain Captain Cold and Garber plays Dr. Martin Stein, and Arrow fans - major spoiler alert here, by the way - will certainly recognize Lotz as former Canary Sara Lance, who is now dead. Or is she? Does Lotz's inclusion in this new show mean that her character is somehow still alive? Or maybe this show will take place at different times, flashing back to when she was still around? There are a lot of possibilities here, but with the way comic books and comic book movies and TV shows kill people off and bring them back (cough Agent Coulson cough), I wouldn't be surprised if Sara somehow survived.
This show is still early on in the development phase, so there's reportedly still a chance that other Flash/Arrow characters could appear. In addition to that, Deadline says that the show will feature "three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series." Who do you think they could be? Are you interested in this spin-off?
