'Supergirl': How Will James Olsen's Guardian Differ From The Comic Book Version?
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Supergirl Season 2 Jimmy Olsen, a fresh-faced young photographer, first appeared in the comics in 1941. Always the sidekick, he was there to provide support to the superheroes and to Perry White, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet. The modern TV series Supergirl changed him into James Olsen, an award-winning photographer and a man who was much more confident — and certainly one who can hold his own, whether it's on the street or in Cat Grant's old office at CatCo.Jimmy Olsen, a fresh-faced young photographer, first appeared in the comics in 1941.

Did Flashpoint Set 'Arrow' Up For The 2046 Timeline From 'Legends Of Tomorrow'?
Warning: This post contains spoilers for The Flash and Arrow. Tuesday's episode of The Flash (October 11) answered the question of how Barry Allen's trip back in time and the devastating aftereffects would be resolved, and it didn't necessarily leave things in a positive light for the Arrowverse. Many changes remained, some which have excited viewers (Caitlyn Snow's powers and potential to be Killer Frost). We only saw one difference on Arrow so far, but with all the changes that took place on The Flash, we should expect more.

Will Tyler Hoechlin's Superman Get His Own CW Series, Or Would It Overshadow The Others?
Warning: The post contains spoilers for the season premiere of Supergirl!

Don't Expect The Same Dr. Caitlin Snow This Season on 'The Flash'
Warning: This post contains spoilers for The Flash's Season 3 episode, "Flashpoint." The Flash's Season 3 premiered on October 5th, and while we were warned "Flashpoint" would cause changes to the timeline and the characters, there was one that didn't make sense. All of the characters returned with their original jobs with only slight differences. Joe West remained a detective. Barry still worked for CCPD, and Iris was still a journalist. Even Cisco had his hand in toys and technology.
