Well, looking on the bright side, hopefully this clears the way for the Arrow producers to pursue those Constantine guest-appearance possibilities they were holding off on before.
Constantine - Season 1
- Thread starter Agent Richard07
- Start date
It would be interesting to see a Justice League Dark series in the Arrowverse.
The comments I've heard from the producers gave me the impression that it would be the same version of the character. After all, why wouldn't it be? Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment own the show, and NBC no longer has an interest in it. It's no different from moving a cancelled show to a new network. And we've seen characters from one show appear on different shows before, like Detective Muntz showing up all over the TV dial, or Cinnamon Carter and Mannix appearing in Diagnosis: Murder episodes.
So we might get to see Constantine retroactively folded into the CW-verse. I'm hoping we'll see the whole cast and get some followup on the dangling story threads.
I'm not a big fan of any of the extras in the cast. I think the weak supporting characters (not necessarily the actors) was something that really hurt this show. As for the actors themselves, I could also live with a recasting of Jim Corrigan.
Huh? Who said anything about extras? Extras are background players who have no scripted dialogue. Why in the world would they be brought across? I'm talking about the regular cast -- Ryan, Celaya, Halford, Perrineau. Or at least Ryan and Celaya, though you'd need Perrineau in order to wrap up the dangling threads.
And gods, yes, don't do Jim Corrigan unless you recast the role. That guy was terrible. His acting style reminded me of Manos: The Hands of Fate.
I intentionally used that word because I found them so forgettable.
It would be pretty cool if Constantine could be revived. Supernatural has run its course and Constantine would fit in very well on the network.
So many have said it that surely this thought has been brought to the attention of the CW.
However, I also read a statement from someone at the CW who stated they were holding the line on comic shows. They don't want to be seen as the defacto DC channel. I paraphrased a bit but that's fairly close.
Still, Supernatural has run it's course. I don't watch but a good friend who had been loyal now only turns in sporadically. He says the show has had about 3 Apocalypses (due to allegedly being the last year) and yet here they are, in double digit seasons.
I would love to see Constantine's show revived, but at this point I think the character might be better off if they incorporated him into one of the preexisting shows. If they don't want to do that, then maybe if the Justice League Dark movie doesn't work out they could turn it into a TV series instead.
Good news everyone. The 13 episodes of Constantine are now available again on VUDU, Amazon Video and Itunes.
I recall a few months ago that a new mystery character would be added to Legends of Tomorrow. I know somebody speculated it might be Constantine, and with the first season of his show being made available again (this after NBC said they had no planes for a digital or home video release) could single a return of the character to one of the DC TV shows.

When it was mentioned in the Lucifer season finale that someone had escaped from the gates of Hell, I was hoping it would turn out to be Constantine. After all, Ollie said he was in Hell last time he was mentioned on Arrow...
Constantine on Legends of Tomorrow would be awesome! Especially since Hawkman is out a slot is open!
The sheer conflict of writing styles, tones, and themes would be jarring beyond belief.
The series was supposed to be an anthology. So, next season could very well be a version of Shadowpact or Justice League Dark.
Are you currently under the impression the show is well written as it is?
It's guilty fun that doesn't take itself too seriously and that shows.
I can't even begin to understand how you came to that conclusion from anything I've said.
