That's why "villain" was in quotes. Bane's origin wasn't one I was expecting to see referenced on this show and they did in an interesting way.
You should watch the show.
The origin of Venom is a major part of Bane's origin. He's a villain referenced early in the show that I was not expecting to be referenced and I'm pleased with the way it was done.
You caught up? My wife cranked through season 2 in like 10 days like a god damned champ. We're watching last week's episode now. She loves this show. She's hella #ollicity though. She'll probably pick up Flash too, but seems less enthusiastic, probably due to a significant decrease in shirtless Steven Amell.
I will miss Caity Lotz, though...good gracious is that girl a smoke show.
...although this is a comics show, and we all know that death doesn't mean much in the context of that world.
Plus flashbacks. Looks like Tommy is back now.
I think the Tommy appearance was a one off. Flashbacks with Caity would be welcome, though. And I seriously have my doubts about her apparent death. ESPECIALLY with the League involved.
Okay I'm caught up on Flash and Arrow. The Dr. Wells subplot has me interested. Otherwise still a lot of developing characters and the show finding its voice. There's plenty to be entertained by until they get to really begin telling the story they want to tell. I wonder how long before the Reverse-Flash shows up...
Arrow was strong. Real strong. That episode carried a ton of emotional weight. All of these characters are so deeply flawed in different ways, and it's exactly what makes the show work. It's great that the characters dealing with their situations is now enough to carry the show for a while without a Deathstroke or Merlyn. Eventually we know R'as will factor in to this season, but for now it's great to watch these characters wrestle with their shortcomings and insecurities.
He already has...
Thoughts on Flash tonight? I'm not familiar with that comic at all, but it seems like there are Easter Eggs EVERYWHERE.
Thought she would be too far out there to reference for the MCU. Guess that means the High Evolutionary is out there someplace.
