I love him. Y'all can't see me but I'm doing a happy, happy dance.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for him :) He'll be great!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh cool this season sounds fun again.
ReplyDeleteVery happy about this! Great actor!
ReplyDelete"As a metahuman, Double Down is more closely associated with “The Flash” mythology in the comics, and is a member of the villainous Rogues gallery." But then why is he on Arrow? I love the show AND JR Bourne, I'm just kind of confused?
ReplyDeleteThat is a terrible power. Plus, he looks like zombie Gambit. I'm sure they'll TV it up a bit. And JR Bourne should be fun. Screaming crossover potential.
ReplyDeleteWooohooo! Have adored him since his Stargate days. Hoping his character pops up several times over the season - on both Arrow and Flash
ReplyDeleteOhhh so in imdb I saw that someone got casted as nightwing is this casting news real. Can someone investigate???
ReplyDeleteI hoped he would stick around in Unreal...
ReplyDeleteIt's just a rumor, I checked the actor, he seems to be a bit obsessed to play Nightwing in a TV-show (Arrow and upcoming TNT Teen Titans). Everybody can edit imdb like wikipedia, but if he did himself or someone else or if it's really true, I don't know
ReplyDeleteOh okay.
ReplyDeleteI hoping he not just a villain of the week but a small story arc.....maybe a HIVE agent or future enemy of the flash
ReplyDeleteIt IS JR Bourne, so hopefully.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!!!!!!!!! That is some power! Although isn't that very Gambit from Marvel? Also i wonder if he's like Deathbolt or was he affected by the Particle Accelerator.
ReplyDeleteI not familiar with him so why he is well like
ReplyDeleteHe plays both villain AND hero very well, he's a character actor and when you cast him it's DEFINITELY not a guest spot.
ReplyDeleteReally happy for him, I love him in everything.
ReplyDeleteActually I've been rewatching the entire Fringe series and I noticed he was in it, he had one scene in an episode of season 2.
Chris Argent!! Yay. I miss him on my TV.
ReplyDeleteBut isn't that metahuman too much for Arrow world? I know they accepted metahumans and magic and all that but turning playing cards tattoos into weapons is too out there for Arrow. Will that be Ray's first metahuman after deshrinking?
So happy about this! He was amazing in Revenge and this motivates me even more to start watching Arrow!!
ReplyDeleteGREAT NEWS.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan!
they will make him a non metahuman I sure of it and probably using a realistic way of protraying him...maybe he be a magician who is a master card trick and also as a deadly weapon
ReplyDeleteI kept waiting for the article to say that he's going to be in the crossover.
ReplyDeleteLove him.
ReplyDelete( in case he needs directions )
He's one hellava actor n fine, very interested in seeing what this show does with his character.
ReplyDeleteBecause he's a darker character than you usually find on The Flash. Same for why Murmur showed up on Arrow.
ReplyDeleteLove him!!! Love him in Teen Wolf and I'm currently loving him in Revenge (binging it now that it's over) So excited for him to be on Arrow! Is he going to come back to Teen Wolf though?
ReplyDeleteHE WAS IN FRINGE!!! I've been dying to rewatch the show and now I have more motivation!
ReplyDeleteThey're planning for BOTH Hoechlin and Bourne to come back in the second half.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! He was that CIA guy coming after Michael!
ReplyDeleteOh sweet a Rogue and JR Bourne. More importantly Double Down. That's a f*cked yet cool choice.
ReplyDeleteIf they don't alter his power. I disagree. Magic and metas are a thing already. And Arrow is a part of this verse. Really nothing is too out there.
ReplyDeleteThat's kinda the point. He's a walking horror show. The consequences of being a meta should be explored.
ReplyDeleteDarkness. Arrow would feel more at home with this than the Flash.
ReplyDeleteWait is it Steve R. McQueen?Because he's really obsessed about it.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that he's a metahuman, it's that his powers are a little too wacky for Arrow imo. I mean the show not the Arrowverse that's why I said Arrow world.
ReplyDeleteHe's probably going to be a metahuman. They've abandoned realism long ago.
ReplyDeleteExcept they're not Koky. Laser eyed metas who predate the accelerator, mirakuru, the flash, the Lazarus pit, etc. All these have appeared on Arrow and all these break the rules of realism Arrow had. There's no difference in terms of plausibility or out there really between this, the pit or Barry's powers. They're all implausible. Plus Arrow isn't in it's own world physics wise. It's bound to the same rules of the Flash, LoT, Vixen as they are to Arrow. If it can happen here it shouldn't be too out there here. The only difference is rarity (like how in Batman comics meta humans are far rarer but still occasionally exist with implausible powers- like Clayface). Even through they are a change of pace, I welcome it. While I don't want constant metas. A few here or there as a change up would be interesting. Not to mention a cool challenge the team has to face and wrap their head around. Plus chances are his powers will be changed.
ReplyDeleteAlso just a shot in the dark but this could be a possible crossover event villain given he's a rogue.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhich I love to a degree it's hard to put to words.
ReplyDeleteNot really. Gambit can charge objects with kinetic energy. The only real power similarity is use of cards.
ReplyDeleteCould be. Also could be a setup for LoT.
ReplyDeleteYou still don't get me. I feel like it won't fit in Arrow. Ok like remember episode 9x13 of Smallville when everyone started doing everything Clark wishes? Or when Chloe wished to know what's it like to be Lois and woke up as Lois? Now imagine that on Arrow. As much as I LOVED those episodes they would feel out of place on Arrow. They don't mesh with the tone of the show, even if it's going to be a lot lighter. It's not just that they're going to introduce magic, how they do it is very important. Maybe I'll change my mind when I see how they handle it.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you. Really I am. You being this excited about metahumans on Arrow might be the main reason I'm making my peace with it.
ReplyDeleteThat kind of thing wouldn't fit the Flash currently either(body swap on Flash no wish yeah). I see your point, but this isn't an issue of tone difference (it'll be dark given the powers). It is important but to reinforce that this is a shared universe now things like this have to be done. No matter if they feel out of place (which would no matter what, but that's why I like this) at times. Though I don't think it really does. And it will become less strange. Just like Flash, and metas did.
ReplyDeleteJR is amazing. I hope he gets a multiple episode arc.
ReplyDeletePossible.
ReplyDeleteThat's well sounds kinda nice. I think? I'm glad I helped you find peace with it. I don't know how to react this is and this getting awkward. I understand your reluctance but exposure and continued introduction to all things meta human, magic and powers should make it easier.
ReplyDeleteThe casting guys deserve a pay raise. They've outdone themselves this season.
ReplyDeleteNope its some guy named nick something. I know steven is obsessed andhe ould make the perfect nightwing.
ReplyDeleteI know. Right ?
ReplyDeleteThe Legends of Tomorrow writing team tweeted it out today.
I think arrow will do a metahuman but they will always be low power villains.....
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha I know Double Down. That's funny. I didn't see that in the cards. LOL (Pun intended) I don't' know the actor though. But I'm lookin forward to this.
ReplyDeleteHe has the look and build, but lacks the effortless charm and charisma of Dick. Plus not sure about his ability.
ReplyDeleteHe's pretty good. Was good on Teen Wolf, Fringe, etc. I'm pumped for the exploration of metahuman body horror and love that they're really going out there with new Rogues.
ReplyDeleteIt always sounded fun. Well in that dark Arrow way. But it will be lighter.
ReplyDeleteDon't know him. And I knew you would be pumped.
ReplyDeleteI see he's been in 13 Ghosts (That movie sucked ass) and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and that movie wasn't that good for me to remember all of the characters.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the Secret Circle.
ReplyDeleteYeah lol it's safe to say if it involves magic, powers or f*cking reality and time I'll be looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteit will probably be lighter with more jokes/humor but that dark element will still there.
ReplyDeleteI don't really care about the acting as long as its not cringeworthy lol. Who would you suggest should play nightwing.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Safer than safe, it's baby proofed guaranteed. Lol
ReplyDeleteExcited about this season...and shared this news already http://goo.gl/C5Ayb0
ReplyDeleteI like this actor. Luxury bedding Sets https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5743d1e2f9c2a768fc40a9b66885772685a709ff61426aa9dad02c3c9d43a12c.jpg
ReplyDeleteHe will always be Martouf to me.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness! I miss them both so bad!!! There's a dynamic that is currently missing on the show cuz they aren't there, at least in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI don't know.
ReplyDeleteHe kinda reminds me of Antony Starr in that photo :o
ReplyDeletegreat choice!
ReplyDeletehis name is Nick Theurer
ReplyDeleteOh ok, i thought Gambit could only change cards, my bad.
ReplyDeleteSame here!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to watch "Vixen"?
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot he played Isaac, LOL.
ReplyDeleteProbably. Looks cool. Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin are in it. Plus it introduces a new aspect of magic, and if successful might be live-action. You?
ReplyDelete
