Hopefully you folks get a kick out of this.
So in Flash Season 2, the Multiverse was finally established (Huzzah!). And there was this really cool sequence where Grant Gustin's Flash ran past a cosmic window showing a clip of John Wesley Shipp as The Flash from the 1990s TV show, confirming now that that was part of the canon of the CW universe. So, this got me thinking, does the Multiverse stop with the CW? Or does it include every DC live action TV and film there's every been?
Well if that's the case, then why does Jeremiah Danvers from CBS' Supergirl look like Superman from that 90s Earth who fought Fat Head (don't call him Fat Head), and why does Eliza Danvers look like that 80s Supergirl who used to fight a JCB? Now you might say, "Sam, you're taking this too far...the answer's clear, the actors from those old DC properties are just there as an homage" but I say to you, that's just not as fun.
So, I'd like to see a scene on Legends of Tomorrow where Physicist Ray Palmer asks Rip Hunter about the Multiverse and Rip says that there are different realities with small changes and different realities with large changes. And that souls can be born into different times and places. A Dark Knight could be born in the 1800s for example and hunt Jack the Ripper or a Physicist like Ray Palmer could be born on a distant planet (let's say Krypton) and then rocketed to Earth and might not even be called Ray Palmer at all. The conversation would be hypothetical, but could elude to some secret knowledge that Rip has and cannot tell Ray of the Superman Returns Earth and they would never need to discuss it again, but would be a great nod for the fans.
This then opens up for all sorts of crazy opportunities. The Flash could go meet the cast of characters 10 years on from Smallville, Dean Cain could come back as a Rebirth Superman, the sky really is the limit.
Anyway, glad to get that out of my system. Let me know what you folks think.
