I mean, TECHNICALLY you could still tie it in with the Golem, make the Golem just something that happened when the Ragman couldn't be found once upon a time or something. But I feel I'm reaching for an opportunity to showcase that on screen. Let's face it, the CW may give us a devout Jew on screen, but I REALLY doubt we're going to see a flashback to Moses himself you know? Or the Israelites in the desert?Chad Bokelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17412042941937845094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89267913288882115.post-60423156261060615682016-10-14T11:37:47.751-07:002016-10-14T11:37:47.751-07:00Good post, Chad.

"Justice" works as a character's theme, as well as "Truth" does, especially in the DCU. All we need is the American Way ...<br /><br />I think that "more than 2,000 years old" is a general way of saying "before the time of Christ," even if "more than 3,000 years old" is just as accurate. That clearly puts it in the Old Testament period, which was enough for this first appearance. <br /><br />Moving away from the Golem concept might make some sense, only in that I've seen a lot of Golems in sci-fi TV the last few decades. So although taking a different take on Jewish mysticism does move him from his comics roots, I think keeps him in the same "spirit" as the original.Dorkness to Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12244268265929221639noreply@blogger.com
