Basically, about as well or as poorly as can be expected.  I was really depressed about it earlier this week, which is one of the reasons I took time off from the site, but now I'm just kind of feisty-mad and kind of apathetic about it.  I dunno, I might change my mind tomorrow, but right now I'm not depressed at least :>  Thanks for your concern!

Thank you so much for that, it's appreciated *hugs*

//Yeeep. I’ll start with Young Justice because that’s the Werner I was first introduced to.

I’m a lot more critical of YJ Vertigo because I now know more about Vertigo’s character. Sure he didn’t have many appearances on YJ but in comparison to what I know now that version of Vertigo seems a lot more one-dimensional since he just wanted to murder his niece Perdita to claim the throne. He was like Scar from Lion King. I will forever see it like that.

As for Arrow’s Vertigos, yes plural, because they apparently had two people take the name Vertigo. One for Pre 52 Vertigo which was played by Seth Gabriel and one that was New 52 Vertigo-esque. I don’t know a lot about either, however I dislike the fact the first Vertigo introduced was a drug dealer. That is literally the farthest thing away from Vertigo as a character. I understand they were trying to go realistic when they first started Arrow, but they could have done anything else. They could have made him a scientist for all I care! In his original backstory he tinkered with his implant to created his vertigo powers! AND then when that was taken away from him in the comics after first getting arrested he created one in prison from parts of a calculator!

They don't call her The Wall for nothing!

dread-pirate-rob replied to your answer post: yeah, I heard they toned down a lot of Digger's sexism/racism from the original cut. Probably for the best.

That's the rumour, yeah.  I don't know how true it is, but Jai did make a comment about Digger being racist and sexist...then again, he might have been talking about comics Digger at the time, so who knows.

He also minored in strine.

Cut for some of my angst (and also possible Season Three Flash spoilers).

I'd lay odds that they weren't even thinking about the Rogues, alas. Modern (New 52) Digger doesn't seem to be associated with the Rogues at all so the tie isn’t as strong as it used to be, and until they're introduced in the cinematic universe they probably won't be a factor. I think that was just the film's way of saying Digger is antisocial and untrustworthy.  It'd be nice to think that the Rogues will be introduced sometime in the future and he'd join them, though!  I'm hoping for that.  Possible future movie spoilers behind the cut.

You know, they barely ever interacted.  Vertigo’s most meaningful interactions were with Deadshot and Poison Ivy (the story arc with him and Deadshot is not to be missed).  This scene is pretty much everything for Digger and Werner.

If you can’t read it, I’ll put it in its own post – let me know if you need that :)

It seems like a waste, but Vertigo wasn’t actually a member of the Squad for very long.  A fair amount of his appearances in the book were of him mentally ill and being controlled by foreign agents and Poison Ivy.  So his story with her was important, as were his conversations with Deadshot.  I’ll spoil the stuff with Deadshot behind a cut, but you might prefer to read the original stories for yourself because it’s good stuff.

Well that sounds fun!  Probably more fun than the actual Canada Day celebration, but hey, at least we get a free concert and fireworks here.
