Interesting how much from that JL 2-parter by Kreisberg has ended up in the Arrowverse, including the name Legends and the use of the Justice Society. ("Legends" is also the source of the name Black Siren for an alternate Black Canary. Interestingly, that 2-parter was written by Andrew Kreisberg, who co-wrote the story for this episode.

And the Justice League TV series's episode "Legends," which featured name-changed versions of Justice Society heroes and villains because they couldn't get the rights to the originals for some reason, renamed their Fiddler character the Music Master (played by Udo Kier). There is a similar character in Flash history, though, a Jay Garrick adversary called the Fiddler, who could hypnotize people with his violin. The character's only prior appearances were in the BB&B episodes "Mayhem of the Music Meister!" and "Mitefall!" (cameo), the final issue of the BB&B tie-in comic (also a cameo in a "Mitefall!"-like story), and the Lego Batman 3 videogame, where he was played by Troy Baker. That's right - the character was created by Michael Jelenic. But since the character was so radically changed, I don't really mind. He was probably too busy or too expensive. I had the impression that they did try but couldn't make it work at least, one of the producers said "You're asking the right question" when asked if NPH was being considered for the role. If the scenario was constructed from Barry's and Kara's minds, why would Barry cast two of the gangster dads as Stein (who's a friend) and Merlyn (whom he barely knows)? It's a little too obvious that the roles were selected based on who had singing talent in real life rather than who made sense in-story. In-story, though, it's a bit hard to justify. Same reason Legends keeps having Martin Stein break out in song as a distraction.

Yep - that's the whole reason they did this episode, because they had a surprising number of singers and Broadway performers in their combined casts and wanted to show off their pipes. "Superfriends" was a fun song, but if they hadn't been able to commission it, they could've done just as well with the Cole Porter standard " Friendship." Indeed, the song seemed like kind of a pastiche of that one, with a similar sentiment and back-and-forth structure. But Gustin and Benoist are a joy together. I think Grant Gustin and Stephen Amell have great chemistry - Amell is never better than when he's playing off Gustin. So maybe he'll be back on The Flash, at least. And we know from the future newspaper headlines that he's going to be signing a 6-figure book deal on Earth-1 in May. He came off more as a plot device, a deus ex machina to mend the heroes' romantic woes, than a character. I don't mind that - I just wish it hadn't been so arbitrary, that there'd been more explanation of what he was and why he was doing this. Or did they somehow hear both Malcolm's part and the other two's part at the same time?Īnd did anyone else notice that the son of Malcolm Merlyn's character was named Tommy? Even though Mon-El was playing the part, I doubt that was a coincidence.

What I want to know is, since the song from Guys and Dolls was being sung by the three gangster dads in two different locations, did Barry and Kara only hear half of it each? That would've been confusing.
