    Sometimes I feel particularly dumb - it didn't occur to me until this week that Tatsu was obviously Katana. Smack me again with that shovel. :-O

    That one took me forever as well.

    Good God! It's... Superpro!!

    Seriously, he looks like he's supposed to be quarterbacking some team rather than gearing up like the Atom. I really hope this is just a transitional outfit.

    At least he won't have to be constantly taking off his mask so we can see him emote.

    Great episode tonight.

    I like the A.T.O.M. costume but it doesn't really conceal Ray' identity all that well.

    I liked the episode to but the Felicity Oliver stuff is getting on my nerves. I liked Felicity much more before they started pushing this ship hard.

    And finally Lance knows something of the truth that hitting the fan is going to be painful to watch.

    Like Ollie's or Barry's do?

    Well, both Ollie and Barry have the voice modulator. Barry's mask does cover a majority of his face so it does conceal it and then for those that could probably see through it, Barry vibrates his face so all they see is a blur. Same thing with Ollie with the mask and the hood. Ray's helmet has a glass piece covering his face but his face is still out there for everyone to see. Although maybe he'll be so small that nobody would be able to see him.

    Both actors are completely recognizable in their masks.

    The Atom suit looks liknda Antman-y to me. Coincidence??

    e
    L nny
  • I think the ATOM suit looks like the new wave uniforms for a Pyramid team on Caprica or one of those twelve systems from Battlestar Galactica.

    I guess we should be grateful it doesn't look like this:

    ...although... this is a bit closer to the comic design...

    So there are major rumors going around that John Diggle could end up being John Stewart meaning Digg will be a Green Lantern. Diggle's actor said nothing is confirmed but the discussion is being had.

    I think this could either be awesome or blow up in there face because yes it would be cool to have a Green Lantern around but how would he fit in the show? Because someone like GL's character doesn't really fit with the tone of the show.

    I think that a Green Lantern character could very much fit the tone of the show. Look back at the classic Hard Travelling Heroes arc of Green Lantern/Green Arrow.

    When I think Arrow I think street level heroes and villains when I think GL I think big galactic world stuff.

    That doesn't negate the fact that Denny O'Neil and Neil Adams did street level incredibly successfully.

    If they can pull it off it would be cool and I hope they can.

    I usually notice that in movies. I barely notice it in on these two shows.

    Except when Malcolm does it, because he always does so dramatically.... and he has this weird exhilarated face when doing so.

    Then why don't more people recognize them in their masks? Laurel didn't know who Ollie was until he took off the hood and he showed her his identity. Same thing with Tommy and Thea and Ollie's mom and Quentin Lance. As for Barry, you have Iris who doesn't recognize him. Why is that?

    Because they're characters on a CW show.

    So their identities wouldn't be secret if it was an NBC or ABC show? Maybe a cable channel like AMC or HBO? ;)

    They'd be more believably secret because the characters wouldn't be so freaking clueless.

    I would submit that WetRats rather tongue-in-cheek response could also be addressed with a combination of the surprise/shock/intimidation that seeing these larger than life, armed to the teeth characters suddenly appear. We go into it knowing what the characters look like in partial costume and we're sitting in our living rooms not having the same experience as the people not making the cognitive leap.

    Also, backlighting and the fact that they appear on TV.

    However, having Arrow suddenly appear after weeks missing AND then having Ollie show up the same night seems to be a connection that ANYONE should be able to make.

    That might have been believable prior to the island but it's not much of a leap to connecting the arrival of the arrow with Ollie's return and the disappearance and return of both.
