"Vixen" Animated Series News & Discussion Thread, Part 1 (Spoilers)

[Yojimbo]

I noticed further down in the article it said "a bonus episode on DVD"? One of the upcoming live action releases?

A teaser for Season 2:

 

[Frontier]

I still get a kick out of seeing other Arrowverse heroes in animation and looking good .

Hey, Weather Wizard! Nice seeing him around and proving just how dangerous he can be. I doubt they got Liam Mclntyre back to voice him though .

The new details on Vixen's costume are neat .

 

[Yojimbo]

This Flash rocks as usual.

Did they say that was Millennium City?

 

[Lonewolf36]

Season 2 looks good already love the firestorm animation.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Looks pretty awesome, I wasn't expecting other villains from the live-action shows to appear here as well. They all look great and the clip was cool, and I'm looking forward to the new season.

 

[Yojimbo]

Oh, ok. Firestorm said 'Monument Point' - where Roy went to in season 3. That's in D.C. in the comics but I doubt it's the same in this canon, lol. Hopefully I can get into a couple episodes of Arrow and Flash when the seasons release on DVD-Blu next month so I can get some context into stuff like the new Firestorm--well, 1/2 new. That sounded like Martin Stein will still be voiced by Victor Garber. Odd they didn't confirm him in recent news.

 

[Frontier]

With Flash's white chest emblem and the new Firestorm, it definitely looks like season 2 of Vixen takes place fairly early into season 2 of both Flash and Arrow.

 

[Greg91]

Well season 2 of the Flash and season 4 of Arrow. After Jax and Stein become Firestorm and before they join the Legend of Tomorrow crew.

Right .

 

[Yojimbo]

I haven't seen season 2 of Flash or 4 of Arrow or LoT...so go easy on me. lol.

You gotta keep up, dude! I'm just kidding, buddy. You're awesome. Don't worry about it. Either way, August definitely looks like a catch-up month with all the DVDs coming out. Plus with Supergirl being tied to the Arrowverse, watching that show might be beneficial as well.

By the way, I hope my previous comment wasn't too spoilery.

Yeah, the CW DC stuff and Supernatural, I just watch it all when it releases on DVD now as a compromise. I just can't watch everything as it airs anymore.

It's ok, obviously by the video teaser, Stein is with someone else now. lol.

 

[Frontier]

Just think of the new guy as basically Ronnie 2.0 and you should be fine .

This Screen Crush article confirms the voice actors for Firestorm:

As debuted at Comic-Con 2016, our first look at Vixen Season 2 sees Grant Gustin again lending his voice to the scarlet speedster (with a slightly-more accurate design this time), teaming with Franz Drameh and Victor Garber’s Firestorm to take on the second Weather Wizard. Don’t worry, Megalyn E.K.’s Vixen still shows up to save the day (it is her series, but might be in a bit of trouble.

 

[Frontier]

Mark's not the second Weather Wizard. His brother technically had weather powers, but he was never called Weather Wizard.

Just to make things clear .

Interview with Megalyn E.K. about the second season of Vixen:

 

[Yojimbo]

I noticed they revealed the Vixen in Legends of Tomorrow season 2 will be Mari's grandmother, Amaya Jiwe. Though the woman went unnamed in Vixen season 1, shrug, maybe that was Amaya who was gunned down in Zambesi when it was raided. Unless that was Jeanne-Mari's mother.

 

[Frontier]

I'm kind of surprised the costumes look so similar, at least from an in-universe standpoint, given Mari's didn't design her until decades later .

8/11: Maybe the Tantu Totem was subtly influencing the design process over the decades.

9/2: Noticed on Amazon, the Arrow season 3 and Flash season 2 sets have all 6 Vixen season 1 webisodes included. Can anyone with the Arrow set verify?
