All of them have their pros and cons

This is an old drawing I did like 10 months ago lol

But I love her so ✨💅

So Danny moved to Gotham for collage and reunited with her childhood friend Duke Thomas.

It’s been a year or so, and Danny totally has a huge crush on Duke by now.

And Duke likes him back, but doesn’t feel him he’s Signal because it could be dangerous for Danny.

Danny keeps the fact that he’s Phantom from Duke for the same reasons + GIW.

One day, Danny goes to star city to visit his sister (who had just graduated collage) and never returns.

Duke gets a knock on his apartment door, he answers it and it’s a girl and boy who looks exactly like Danny- but Danny never mentioned any siblings besides Jazz.

They tell him Danny is missing and they need to know anything they can.

The girl- Dani also happens to a member of the Teen Titans (Dani x Dami??)

Duke brings the them to the batcave (Dick immediately gets heart eyes the moment he has eye contact with Dan) (DAN X DICK! DAN X DICK!!)

(And maybe even Jason x Jazz????)

(Tim and Tucker????? @afrozenbee )

Sports Team Logos for DC Comics Cities

Used Photopea and took some liberties with the names.

Fictional Etymology

The Knights⚾️: The Knights initially attributed their name to Gotham's history as an English colony though the double entendre was not lost on them, especially since the infamous "Gotham Nights" have become synonymous with the crime capital.

The Meteors🏈⚾️: Alliteration 🤷‍♀️.

The Spartans🏐: Gateway City possesses the largest collection of Greek artefacts outside of Greece and have a reputation for producing gold-medal-winning Olympians, inspiring the name of Gateway's Pro Volleyball team; the "Spartans".

The Sab-Cats⚽️: The Sab-Cats are a NWSL team born out of a social initiative by community centres in Star City using sport to keep youths away from crime. Recently turned professional, the team honours its mutual aid roots by adopting the Anarchist symbol of the "Sab-Cat".

The Velocity🏈: Keystone City has long been a hub of transport manufacturing, from automobiles to aircraft. The Velocity began as an amateur factory workers' football team in the 1940s, with its name referring to the cars these workers assembled.

The Cheetahs🏈: Initially named the "Central City Cougars", after the wildcat historically present in Missouri, the NFL team more recently renamed itself after the speedy African Cheetah in honour of its then residential speedster, the second Flash, following the first Crisis.

The Cosmos🏀: Before its destruction, Coast City was known along the West Coast as a melting pot of diversity, and its former NBA team derived its name, "Cosmos", from the word "Cosmopolitans".

The Bloodhounds⚾️: Before harmful radiation, Blüdhaven was plagued with corruption, often enabled by its police force. Some suspect strings were pulled for this former MLB team to adopt a blue kit and a common police dog as a mascot. Maybe it's a coincidence?

Bat Archer

Danny, during a new power going awry, finds himself transformed into a spectral bat. And it turns out he can still use his sonic scream/ghostly wail while doing it.

So while playing in CW Tower in his new body, Danny discovers a portal he didn't see before with cool new things! And he did the only normal thing. He flew into it. If it were bad, clockwork would have stopped him!

Danny was now in Star City, and he helped the hero as a bat. He kind of likes this form; it's fun to use.

Green Arrow wasn't sure what he saw when he saw the bat use a Black Canary scream against the goon who was behind him.

But Oliver was a simple hero; he did dibs! As he saw the tiny bat with Dinah's powers.

He now has a new Meta Bat sidekick! An adorable white bat with green eyes.

Imagine his surprise as the bat turned into a tiny child! With black hair and blue eyes. Yeah, he and Dinah are now parents again! And Roy is a big brother.

Danny had no fun being taken with that hero. He seemed to be having fun, and he learned new things! If Vlad were this way without being creepy, he wouldn't have a problem with a mentor.

Danny's human form is him having a bow and arrow, and in his Bat phantom, he doesn't have it, but he uses ghostly wail and ghost powers. And flee if it's dangerous or he is tired.

Oliver walks most of the time with Danny sleeping in his green Arrow hood. When Danny is a bat and bored,

+ Danny was able to find the OG. Roy, who was 1 arm after a short time, Oliver asked Danny to find him. Danny took a short time to find him.

++ Yeah, Green Arrow had a Bat sidekick before Batman had one. Batman has just his Robins.

One of Danny powers is a small heal, so he helps as Arrow Bat the people in the city who are attacked by doing first aid.

First Star City casting just dropped! Rhys Ifans has been cast in the For All Mankind spinoff show, Star City, where he is expected to lead the cast!

He has been cast as the currently unnamed "Chief Designer" who, as per Deadline, is "the driving force behind the Soviet Space program"!

[lis5664]

From the article above: 'The official description for the show says it is “a propulsive, paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race – when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers, and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humanity forward.”'

This may not be new information but I hadn't seen it before. There HAS to be a Sergei casting announcement soon, right -- they wouldn't specifically mention the engineers if he wasn't going to be part of the story?? Canonically he was one of the engineers involved in 1969?? I really need to know whatever backstory there is between him and Irina.

And "a propulsive, paranoid thriller" sounds pretty great actually. I really hope this show is good.

'Green Arrow' by John Romita Jr.

I’m going to expand on something I said in a different post. It’s the one about how I think Bruce and Oliver are best friends…

I said how Oliver and Cassandra were the only ones to not have a choice when it came to their training. I still think this is true but I may add Damian and maybe Roy in with them.

This isn’t saying the others chose their traumas, I’m just saying they decided to train and become heroes/vigilantes.

For example Bruce’s parents died and he decided to go around the world to train.

But Oliver was shipwrecked. It wasn’t his decision to start training, he had to so he would survive. The comics and show are different but have the same premises, if he didn’t do the things he did he would have died.

When they got back they both CHOSE to be heroes/vigilantes. Bruce had already decided it a long time ago and Oliver had the list (show) or saw that his abilities could help and decided to do something (comics).

So in NO way am I saying they chose their traumas, but they did chose to become heroes/vigilantes.

I don’t know much about Damian but I think he didn’t choose to train. Of course, I think, he wanted to, but he would have been forced to anyways.

I know next to nothing about Roy so idk if he wanted the people to train his in archery and marksmanship or not so do with that what you will.

But if Oliver didn’t train he would have died. If Cassandra didn’t train she would have been killed.

Of course, Cassandra didn’t know it wasn’t normal and she couldn’t communicate even if she didn’t want to, but she was still forced. They were the only ones (I think) that had absolutely no choice except to train or they would die.

Also, in the comics (Green Arrow Year One), Oliver saves a bunch of slaves from China White, I think. He found his old ship and could have escaped but chose to save the people instead. I’m not saying he didn’t have a choice for that, I’m saying he had to learn archery to survive.

Please comment your thoughts!

Apparently, “Star City”production is starting this month in Lithuania, so I guess FAM S5 finished already filming. And we’ll be getting more info about Star City soon.

DC: We’ve made up a bunch of cities scattered across the U.S. for our heroes to come from. That way we can have cities that match the overall themes of our characters aesthetically! Marvel: Pff. We want our characters to feel grounded in reality. So our characters come from real world cities. Like New York. DC: Oh, that’s a really cool concept. What other cities? Marvel: Marvel: What do you mean, ‘other cities’?
