If you haven't watched it already, then you need to download the CW Seed app and check out the latest hero(?) in the Arrow-verse. The pilot is up and streaming, and new episodes will be uploaded every Tuesday. Unlike the other spin-offs from CW that take place in the Arrow-verse, this one is an animated series. Okay, I use the term "series" kind of loosely. Each "episode" is only going to be five or six minutes long, but they pack a lot of action into that short amount of time!
The first episode begins with the title character, Vixen, being chased by two familiar faces...Arrow and the Flash, but we have no idea what leads to this chase. Vixen does a pretty good job of out maneuvering them and is all set to get away when whoops! She slips off the edge of a building and starts to fall towards the ground. Before she goes splat, though, it jumps back three days in a flashback with her in jail. Her foster dad posts her bail, and they go out for coffee and talk. She tells him that she's going to go look for her real parents, and he seems to understand. as they are leaving, they get mugged, and they try to take Vixen's necklace.
It sounds like her necklace is a sort of talisman, and it gives her her powers. She can summon the abilities and strength of any animal that has walked the Earth. Now you know why this is an animated series! Could you imagine the production value for a live-action version of this show? Even though she's just a cartoon character right now, it sounds like the producers for Arrow are planning for her to show up in real life on their show, maybe even shows (i.e. Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow.)
So if you like Arrow and The Flash, make sure you give this new series a shot. You won't be disappointed!
