He really would have to adjust from that. Seeing the progression of that is kinda what the show is about. Oliver becoming Barry for this crossover is also going to help with that. Yeah, I understood that, and that's why I was able to hang onto the show for 3 seasons until Season 4, where the GA monkier was just thrown in without any real change occuring. I guess that just struck a nerve with me. Another thing is that while they were marketing the series as an expanded origin story, Oliver got straight to crimefighting in a homemade Arrow costume. That must have confused the heck outta me because I'm kinda used to origin story series not actually having the character suit up until the end or midway through a series. It worked for Smallville, and I'd say it's definitely working for Gotham. I dunno...I guess the inner toxic fan inside of me took over...I'm just glad that I won't have to think that way ever again.
