I love all the Arrow bts stuff! And thanks so much Marc for answering my questions, for shouting out and subscribing to my newsletter! As a few folks did I've moved the newsletter to buttondown (as I was going to slow down its release anyway), so hopefully you've been transferred to that list. I guess you'll find out at the end of the month!
I didn’t include the exact quote in the cover, but I remember Berlanti telling me that things like Homeland and the Bourne Identity were notable reference points for Arrow Season 1 almost as much as like comics.
The Arrow Cave. "We call it the...it's the Bunker, but...yeah." Thanks for sharing that amazing stuff from Arrow, including the Amazo set photo. I doubt anyone is building sets like that anymore for a TV show. I already have more questions but I do not want to wear out my welcome here at the Legal Dispatch. To be fair though, I never said or posited that Arrow as a retro-fitted attempt at a Batman show. I've always maintained it was the closest we will ever get to a Batman live-action television show that kicks ass. I did finally read X-Men Days of Future Past: Doomsday and it was pretty phenomenal, as well as very sad. The artwork was just as spectacular. When I first started reading it, I had expectations of a "What if...?" story, but that soon dissipated. Those original books from the 1970's were exciting but with one issue to tell the story, it was always a bit too compressed. These books were hardly that. You did stick to the time-travel maxim when Kate returns from the past to find timelines are set and she could not change it by going back. I'm sure you went through a few packs of post it notes to plot out that storyline with so many moving parts. How long have you had the idea to write this and what was the original code name for this project? Have you ever met Chris Claremont or share your idea with him?
Thanks for the shout-out Marc and for subscribing!
It seems like a bygone era where we had big concept sci-fi shows on network TV every year (remember Terra Nova?). Now that has mostly migrated to cable/streaming.
It’s always fun to get your insights from Arrow and the Arrowverse in general. Thank you for sharing the pictures as well. Very very cool! Arrow is my absolute favorite series of all time. I love the stories, characters, fight sequences, film style, production level, and the music. Speaking of music from the series, do you have any specific memories from that side of the show. Blake Neely is a favorite composer of mine. Thanks again for sharing all of this with us.
I suggest for you 1000th Sub festivities you take all your subscribers out of dinner at Le Bernardin in NYC! Just a thought!
Marc, One thousand BIG FAT LOUD WOWs!
