Spoilers Arrow - Season 4
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I thought it was a surrogate for Kansas City.
It's definitely a flaw in the Ignore function.
On one hand our dignity is preserved from not knowing what mmmmmmmmassive percentage of the board thinks we're ignore worthy, but on the other, some of us are confusing "pissing in the wind" for "articulate conversation between peers".

Only in the sense it has a "twin" across the river. And that's only since COIE, when Keystone and Central wound up in the same Universe. According to this site, Keystone/Central is North of Kansas City (Cities?) in the DCU.
I was wondering that. But its very possible we just posted at the same time. So he did not realize I already posted that. He often and recently has replied to my comments. So I would be surprised if he has me on ignore. Sometimes we just miss what other people have posted. I have done it a number of times.
I'm goin' to Central City,
Central City, here I come;

They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.
That's right. I noticed your post right after mine went through, but I didn't bother to edit in a "Whoops, we cross-posted" message, because that happens so routinely that I thought it would be self-evident.
Pre-Crisis Ohio. I'm showing my age.
Okay... that Wikipedia article on Central City says that The Flash (the TV series) explicitly puts Central City in Missouri... but it's only 600 miles from Star(ling) City, which is on the West Coast???
They haven't mentioned the Boom Tube through the mountain states.
I figured they had to be in the same state. Otherwise, the fact that they both use Iron Heights would make no sense.
Iron Heights is the perfect example of how these writers don't always keep consistent with their own details. Beyond the name there is no way that can be the same prison on both shows.
There has never been any mention when Oliver or Barry have visited "Iron Heights" that they are traveling a long distance. Clearly Henry Allen was imprisoned in Central City. There where numerous examples of that. That he was watching the singularity and The Flash save the city from his Prison cell is the best.
Same goes with the prison in Star City. Inmates escaped it from it do to the Earthquake, right?
It be really easy for them just to aknowledge that both cities have prisons with the same name.
I never notice is the establishing exterior shot on both series the same or different?

Arrow and Flash have always tossed about DC place names rather indiscriminately. As a fan I enjoy them as Easter eggs (which annoys my wife to no end every time I point them out), but they really make no sense.
Roy was hiding out in nearby Bludhaven for a while, even though Bludhaven is on the east coast just south of Gotham.
Oliver and Felicity lived together in Ivy Town, also on the east coast very near Boston.
Barry and the Star Labs team tested his Flash powers at the abandoned Ferris airfield in Coast City, California.
The prison where Amanda Waller hangs out is in Louisiana.
And Nanda Parbat is apparently a short bus ride from everywhere.
God only knows where Hawkman will be from once he enters the picture. Midway City (if that still exists) is in Michigan.

I wonder if the US on Earth 2 was smaller or larger after the war the Americas, that conversations like this would be very different.
"Nope, California is part of Mexico now."
"Nope, California is part of Mexico now."
I forgot that Henry allen could see the Flash save the city. Otherwise, it would be possible to argue it was in Star City and they're both in the same states (it's a prison, so it's not unusual to transfer people away from the city where the crime was committed). Given that, there's no explanation beyond that they share the same name.
Technically, there's nothing all that unusual about something like that, but it's a big coincidence that they both have to deal with superhero drama.
Either Zoom knows who Barry is that he picked the sound stages they had on hand, or he flew Barry's mangled carcass like a flag in about 80 other hot spots in Central city, that we didn't see.
Iron Heights must be a franchise prison. They're everywhere like McDonalds.
It could just be that two cities have a place name that they decided to build a prison. It's not that odd. The coincidence is that one of those places has the Green Arrow and the other has the Flash and they both have to deal with some metahumans. That's where things are unusual.
