Exactly. Some people choose to not seek out info about the new season of TV shows. It being very new info, I chose to try to be considerate. It's not like hovering over the text is a ton of extra work.

I'm definitely not a fan of the hacktivist thing, but I suppose they could have stretched the science teacher thing of the original show to a more technological bent. It's reaching (really reaching), sure, but it's not like they don't do that sort of thing all the time in the Arrowverse.

Honestly I'd recommend most of the Rebirth trades, Aquaman in particular is really good.

I guess, but I don't really consider new characters to be spoilers, especially when the commercials will promote the hell out of this.

Aquaman Rebirth is fantastic. In fact, he is one of the few runs from the N52 that didn't screw up.

Not to be rude, but what DO you consider you spoiler worthy? Besides, it's a permanent change to the show and people like me who haven't seen the show would be spoiled about it prior to watching
Though I don't really care about LoT so maybe I'm a bad example

Yeah that's true but this is changing the character from magic to tech based which is a huge jump.

That doesn't seem to be the case. The last line I quoted from the article states that the powers are from "an ancient mystical source". There may be a tech aspect to the character, but it doesn't look like it's going to turn the character in some Iron Man derivative or the like.

You know who I would love to see in the arrowverse? Catman.

To be fair, it's not like anyone is giving you a point by point summary of who lives, who dies, and what happens in each episode.

I'd hardly consider knowing what potential characters are gonna be joining the season a spoiler, so calm down yeesh you people are way too sensitive about this stuff.

It's no more sensitive than getting irritated about using spoiler tags in the first place. I don't care about spoilers, but some people have a really low threshold for them. I don't see the big deal about erring on the side of respecting other users when I can. As I said before, it's not like hovering over the text is a ton of work.

Can we not have another thread devolve into a flamewar over spoiler tags please?
