They sneak in the occasional tribute to the writers and artists who have worked on the comics, too, which is always nice.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-19983917831119483592015-04-04T09:54:38.529-05:002015-04-04T09:54:38.529-05:00I haven't watching ARROW (yet--my summer proje...I haven't watching ARROW (yet--my summer project) but I can't help but wonder if the "everyone knows who he is" thing is a post-modern reaction to the old version (i.e., Adv. of Superman) when no one knew the secret identity. T'was funny on episode 4 or 5 when they showed scenes from previous episodes, they showed Felicity Smoak. I was like, "Did I miss something?" then realized it must've been on ARROW.

I have a few quibbles--I think too many people know Barry's secret identity, and the whole "team" set-up seems too blatantly copied from ARROW--but overall they really get things right and there's a sense of pure fun that's very reminiscent of the comics from the Sixties.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.com
