Arrow and The Flash may soon have some super company at The CW.
The Powers That Be behind the popular DC Comics
TV series are in “very early talks” about a possible show centered on Atom/Ray Palmer.
At the Television Critics Association winter press tour, executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg revealed that they are working on a “very general idea” related to the character Brandon Routh plays in Arrow.
In addition to his myriad comic book appearances, Ray/The Atom — who can alter the size of his body as well as other objects — has turned up in numerous animated series, including, most recently, Cartoon Network’s Young Justice. Arrow marks one of the character’s rare live-action incarnations.
CW president Mark Pedowitz obliquely referenced a possible Atom series during the panel, saying that the network would be “judicious” about expanding its DC fare. “Could there be another hour in that universe? Possibly. As long as there’s no audience fatigue.”
The EPs wouldn’t elaborate on the project after the panel, saying only they weren’t allowed to comment further.
