Just when I thoguht what they did to Birds of Prey was the worst they could do. It's like the crappy ideas of BoP multiplied by the bad ideas of Smallville. I just don't get what decent stories could come out of this. If anything, have it be Robin Year One or Nightwing moving to Bludhaven. Just.. Who the hell came up with this? With all the good stories and characters DC has... Why this?! Oh and DJ? DJ? Are you.. what the..? Ow. Just.. ow. Whooo boy.

They should consider doing a mercy kill on the series - it's lost nearly half its' cast members. How long can they keep this thing running? The guy should have been in a costume by now - however if Tom Welling were to leave - they could just keep the series going with Green Arrow and Black Canary as evident by tomorrow's episode which is the Green Arrow origin story. They should have greenlighted the Aquaman pilot. ~ Coat They should correct themselves in saying that it’s the way too long running Smallville.
