Sounds good to moi.
CW Eyeing ‘Atom’ As Next DC Series
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
I familiar with the Atom as part of the DC universe but never read any of his own adventures. So I am trying to imagine what the stories be like. Beyond budget issues what
type of adventures would be involved in being able to shrink?

Maybe they could go another route and make it about Al Pratt.
I want to be oversaturated on.
I demand to choke on the level of saturation I need from these people.
Butter all my pores with this filth you ####s!
Treat me like the ####ing junkie I am!

I'm with the oversaturation myself. In fact, if I were Berlanti and co, I'd start leaking (BIG) hints about Clark or Bruce appearing in one of the DCW shows and dare WB to stop them. They could beat Snyder's group to the punch, and maybe for their hand.
I know some are opposed to a merger, but I still think it's the best option long-term. Otherwise the MCU is going to leave them in the dust--if it hasn't already.
To that point, I think Routh and Cavill sharing some scenes would be a lot of fun.

Actually, we're not too far off having a realistically looking Christopher Reeve CGI model.

Maybe the shirking is going to be an unforeseen sideffect that Ray doesn't know about yet?
This was the first I've heard of Al Pratt, but now I'm wondering if perhaps they'll give Palmer Pratt's powers through the suit. According to Wikipedia, when he first appeared Pratt did not have powers, but after a fight with a bad guy he got super strength, agility, invulnerability to radiation, and some kind of "atomic punch". I could easily see them using the suit to give Ray Palmer those powers in Arrow.
Anything's possible, but that wasn't intended as more than a joke. Al Pratt is relatively minor. There'd be no benefit.
In you invert his names, Al Pratt become Prattal, which seems like it should sound like prattle.
I wonder if they got Kate Bosworth to play Brandon's love interest in this unnamed spinoff if either of them remember being in Superman together?

Parker Posey would have been perfect as Lois Lane.
Lois Lane's beauty comes from compounded obnoxiousness.
It's like she's nine feet tall, won't stop barking and spells at an 8th grade level.

Atom was tied into time travel a good bit; his arch enemy is Chronos the Time Thief. Atom also had many adventures falling through a time pool created by a colleague scientist. His other enemies include an Eco terrorist called the Floronic Man (who amusingly appeared as his civilian identity Professor Woodrue in Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin; he was the scientist who tormented Pamela Isley before she became Poison Ivy).
The most iconic story with Atom is probably the "Sword of the Atom" saga. Ray is on a plane that crash lands in the jungles of South America and is stuck at six inches high after his size changing belt is broken. He runs across a stranded alien species in the jungle (yellow skinned people also six inches high) and becomes a gladiator in their pseudo Roman society.
Ray also has some stranger stuff like visits to other dimensions and even a stint as a border guard to the alternate realities of the multiverse. Really, they could make the character into a kind of Doctor Who thing. It may seem an out of place idea on its face, but it matches up to his comic history better than one might think.
Exactly. There is no way that the introduction of Palmer on Arrow S3 is just coincidence. His inclusion is a hedging your bet play. They've known Ant-Man was coming and they know that the Marvel Studios films have been a good barometer for what audiences want.
If Ant-Man makes $200m+ domestically at the North American Box Office, get ready for Atom S1.
I think the only character I give credit to Warners for pushing w/o a clear Marvel forerunner in a movie is Green Arrow. They made him viable in the last 3-4yrs of Smallville before Hawkeye was as known to general audiences as he is now.
