During the final day of the 2015 NYCC, Warner Bros. Television held their panel and gave us a great look at what's to come for both Arrow and The Flash!
Arrow
The Case For Gotham
Since it’s debut back on September 22nd, 2014, Gotham has been met with some harsh criticism from the most hardcore of Batfans. A lot of the hatred comes from people not liking the show’s creative take on the origins of some of our favorite characters from the Batfamily and their villains. Personally, I think they’re missing the point. In my humble opinion, this show does NOT serve as an origin to Batman, or even to Commissioner James Gordon. This show is an alternative look at the origins of Gotham City itself, and those that would inhabits it’s dangerous streets.

In the closing hours of Day Three of SDCC, Warner Bros and DC Entertainment took over Hall H. We were promised panels from the staff and cast of The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and Gotham. Not much was expected in the way of new footage as Arrow is about to begin production on Season 4 (Stephen Amell just wrapped his role as Casey Jones in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel) and The Flash is only a week into production on Season 2. But we did get some exciting news about casting! We learned that Patty Spivot will join the show played by Shantel VanSanten and after being teased in the finale of The Flash, Jay Garrick debuts played by Teddy Sears!
