I thought he looked somewhat familiar. Still, i felt that Dibny is one of those few superheroes in the Arrowverse that was done better in the comics. The others being Mon-El and Hawkman so it isn't that bad a track record. Give him a chance man, it's been one episode. I personally like how they integrated bits of Plastic Man's character into him. That is what i don't like about him. The thing i liked about his comic counterpart is that he was a serious detective character with the most ridiculous powers. We already have Batman and Jessica Jones for serious detectives. What's wrong with one who's a little silly? Especially after how depressingly serious season 3 was. I guess they could have had him be somewhat funny, but not Plastic Man levels of humor because Plastic Man is annoying. Yeah Plastic Man's an acquired taste, his humor isn't for everyone. Personally I find him funny depending on the version. To be fair it's hard to not make someonr mme silly when they have silly powers like elasticity. Honestly I like Plasticman and how he can't be taken serioysly, he'd be so boring if he was all brooding and serious.

Besides, Ralph doesntcome close to Plasticman levels, the main change to his personality is he's now a jerk. IMO this works really well coming off the heels of Julian, who always acted like he had a pole up his ass, unlike Ralph who puts this in a more comedic light.
