Mack's Thoughts
My inner geek went from 0 - 100; real quick. The trailer alone had me hooked.( I probably garnered the most youtube views) This is almost an live action justice league and I think we know CW will get it right. They might us well rename CW to DC. It would have been nice to have then take on Constantine but I guess we cant rock the boat to much. We don't want to flood the market but DC seems to be winning on  CW. Firestorm, White Canary, Hawk Girl and the Atom partially satisfies my Justice League Unlimited nostalgia. Look out for more updates to comes as this show is scheduled for mostly likely 2016.
