    Sadly it's not for new episodes. But at least it can be seen for free now. I'm sure that it will be edited because some of it's a bit gory and I think there were a few "fuck"s thrown around. .

    It could be nothing, but this might give the CW the rights to put Swampthing Characters on the current Arrowverse lineup.

    I gave up on Swampthing after 2 episodes.

    Although Crystal Reed could get into the Batwoman Series using her legend from Gotham.

    Even though Gotham was
    20 years ago, and Crystal looks great for a woman in her mid 50s.

    Oh, of course -- networks need to reuse existing content since new production is shut down. Makes sense.

    Still, bringing Swampy to The CW could set a precedent. Maybe once the Arrowverse characters rediscover the multiverse, it could open the door for a Constantine-Swamp Thing crossover. (Constantine already said once "I knew a Swamp Thing," suggesting there might be one on Earth-1/Prime, but then, if John knows Earth-666's Lucifer, he could have visited Earth-19 as well.)

    Cool, I'll definitely be checking it out. Although I'm starting to think it's not going to be worth getting DC Universe, since they seem to be slowly releasing their shows on TV.

    I didn't even realize it was the same actress!
    Gotham sucked. Such a waste of potential.

    Penguin and Riddler bang.

    Nothing else matters about that show.

    If the CW had interest it in joining it's line up I can see the story being drastically revised

    The Swamp Thing now has a human form( Young actor in his 20's)? From time to time he can change back to Swamp creature form

    It might not be true to comics but at least it's not cancelled and it has a new home on the CW

    I finally got around to watch the first episode a couple days ago and I really enjoyed it.
    Does the show ever get into all of the stuff with the Green, and the Red, and the Parliment of Trees?

    The Green is mentioned, but it got cancelled before it got around to the rest.

    OK, thanks. I was just curious since I know that's a big part of some of the comics, but I hadn't seen it mentioned in relation to the show.

    I've been watching the episodes on the CW. It is a good series--shame it didn't last beyond a season.

    More of a Man Thing guy myself.
    It could work, shades of PRIMAL/Samurai Jack.
