SS #029 - TV Talk, part 2

Shortbox Showcase #29-- TV Talk

No comic book talk this time -- just talk about many TV shows we watch that are based on DC comics properties. Crazy theories abound about we expect to see, what we'd like to see, and what in our fevered dreams and imaginations we daydream of seeing. We also manage to have a lengthy discussion on the implied cosmology of the DC Universe.

SPOILER ALERT -- we talk about the shows, the episodes that have aired, and our conjectures, predictions, and crazy theories about what may happen in the future. You have been warned.

If you want to avoid spoilers about a specific show, here are approximate start times for conversation about each show we cover in this episode:

0:01 - Gotham
0:22 - Constantine
0:45 - Flash
1:08 - Arrow
