Great ear! The voice actor is Tony Todd -- who played Kurn in ST: TNG and ST: DS9 (as well as the adult Jake Sisko in DS9's most awesome episode, "The Visitor.")

S/he did one for Cisco and Kendra/Hawkgirl made up as Princess Bride characters. So cute. Their faces need to be smushed ASAP.

I totally *heart* all of his work. The fact that he whips them out within a day of the episode airing is just incredible.

And his artwork does get to TPTB - there's shots of his prints displayed in the Arrow offices.

He just... gets the shows so right.

*sighs in adoration*

I adore this series. They've really gone into it with a lot of ambition. We were really due for a Grodd episode, and they didn't hold back. Getting a glimpse of Gorilla City was great! I like how they are investing in Grodd as a future Big Bad. Hints of Wally West and Hawkgirl have also been tantalizing.

Also, how actually awesome was Hawkgirl, wings-out? The rendering of the wings and the armor is gorgeous! No wonder Cisco thought he was looking at an angel. (Though I'm hard-pressed to believe he thought he was looking at a dude!)

Yeah, the dude thing totally threw me off. That clearly wasn't... Or was I just filling the blanks knowing there would be Hawkgirl at some point?

That was one crowded cross-over, but it worked. The wings for Hawkman and Hawkgirl definitely look better when rendered in a standing pose than they do when flying, but they're still beautifully done. I assume we'll see more of Malcolm and Darkh in the Arrow half of the event.

In terms of the Grodd episode, why didn't they just tell him that they could get him to a city where other's like him already exist?

He might have believed Caitlyn.

As for the cross over episode, very cool. I did want to slap Cisco when he outed Barry. Also, why in the hell did both Flash and Arrow show their faces to Hawkman when they had first captured him? They didn't know he was going to be friendly at that point. For that matter, why would he swoop in and take Kendra. Why not approach and talk. And why say the others can't protect her? Isn't the more people protecting the better?

Also, do the doors on Starlabs lock at all? Or did Wells not bother?

And I think, all things considered, it's time for Barry to bring Patty in on his identity. She's working with Joe, might as well.

Anyone else notice the "better, strong, faster" line in Barry's opening monolog? A nice little shoutout to the Six Million Dollar Man.

Hah! Yeah, there were a lot of terrific lines in this one. I think what I loved most was Felicity stopping the bickering by inviting everyone back for drinks.

I totally missed it! Happily, I haven't deleted the episode yet, so I'll go back for it.

If you are ever able to go to a convention where he is displaying his work (usually in Artists Alley) go find him and meet him. Nicest dude ever. Humble and just happy people like his work. I sorta made a fool out of myself the first time I saw him. Lost my damn mind. He was kind enough not to run away from me.

Also, why in the hell did both Flash and Arrow show their faces to Hawkman when they had first captured him?

There was a lot of unnecessary unmasking in this one. Barry, okay. That was funny. But nobody at Team Arrow really needed to take the masks off for Kendra, only to then express mistrust. Well, except for Felicity who doesn't even have a codename.

I loved that making this a two-parter gave the writers time to play with the character dynamics. Barry and Ollie's bickering, Theas "Did I know we know the Flash" bit. Lots of fun. Even the guy who plays Damien Darkh seemed to really enjoy his scene. Haven't seen him shine like that before.

What a delight Hamill is. A national treasure. It was a fun episode.

With just that voice and that laugh, he schools Leto in the finer points of how to pull off a convincing Joker. (Yeah, Trickster - WHATEVER - that's his Joker voice. There's no mistaking it.)

Maybe they can bring Hamill back for the second half of the season and team him with Kevin Conroy. Add in Clancy Brown as the General and I'd be a happy girl.
