TVLINE | Of all the characters that Diggle runs into on the four shows, does anyone possibly have insight into exactly what he’s been dealing with? Has anyone “heard tell of a corps of galactic law enforcers” or anything like that? So he refused the invitation of whatever was in the box, but there are consequences to that, and that story, what he will do next, is part of what we tell throughout these four episodes. So part of Diggle’s story is that the last thing he would want to do right now is receive an invitation from something otherworldly, because he finally has his family back, and he lost his best friend to some otherworldliness. And after Crisis, he got back his wife, who was abducted by the Monitor, and he got back his daughter Sara, who was taken out of existence by Flashpoint. All these things were kind of otherworldly to him, because he was a very earthbound hero. Any time he would go fast with Flash, he would throw up, and he was always amazed when he saw someone flying. We’ve gone to great lengths over the years to make Diggle one of the more grounded characters. Whatever was in the box, he refused the invitation of. To your other point, which is exploring what has happened to Diggle since encountering that green box, that will be explored in the other episodes – on Batwoman, Flash, Superman & Lois, and Supergirl. UPDATE: Ramsey is playing Bass Reeves, a onetime enslaved Arkansan who grew up to the first Black Deputy U.S. It’s a historic character, a historical Western character (see exclusive photo above). But on Legends, there’s a different character all together. Also, the last time you saw Diggle, he was on his way to Metropolis and was intercepted by a glowing, green box, so it was a logical step in assuming that….

There was some press that was out there that I’m playing a mystery character on Legends, and from that kind of wording there was an assumption that because obviously Legends has a time ship, and they go through time and space, fans connected that to the Green Lantern Corps…. TVLINE | Some Arrowverse fans may be assuming that your Legends mystery role is the one to watch for as far as any “green” matters, but from what I’ve heard it’s your other guest appearances that really tell that story. Ramsey in Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Stressed Western” Can we say “Arrowverse” now? Or is it “Berlanti-verse”? I don’t know. But that show was very different than most of the Arrowverse. So, you’re trying to keep that scope, that look and that pace that the pilot had, and I think every episode has done a great job of that. We were all playing catch-up in the sense that the pilot had months to shoot it, while each episode has 10 days. I mean, the pilot was incredibly cinematic, and it set the tone. It’s just a different type of pace, and a different look. And that’s not taking away anything from the other shows. You feel that in the scope, in the way it’s shot, you feel that in the writing, and obviously in the performances.


I don’t think it’s a small secret that it’s a family show that has Superman in it, and you feel that. You’re floating between three anamorphic lenses, to get that aspect ratio – that’s the technical stuff - and it’s just a different pace. TVLINE | Was directing Superman & Lois pretty different than the others? It is quite a bit more cinematic, more “16:9” over there.
JOHN DIGGLE GREEN LANTERN SERIES
Green Lantern: Finn Wittrock to Star in HBO Max Series What Arrow's Big Green Lantern Tease Means for Diggle's Future The third one I’m directing is Superman & Lois, but on a different occasion I will be guest-starring I won’t be directing the one I’m in. On Legends, for example, I’m guest-starring and I’m also directing same with Supergirl. I am guest-starring in about five different episodes, and I am directing three - but it doesn’t work out that I’m directing all the episodes I’m guest-starring in. TVLINE | First off, are you directing every episode you’re guest-starring in, and guest-starring in every episode you’re directing?Ĭlose.
