he wants to endanger his life doing a job the DEO and Supergirl can do more effectively
But they weren't stopping the bad guys James is. The E stands for Extra-Normal. James is fighting regular humans for the most part.
Where are the Asian characters DC CW? #MoreAsians

that's coming season 3
No point trying to show mercy to the stupid, they wouldn't know what to do with it anyway

I'll assume Jimmy Olsen will NOT become Elastic Lad .

I kind of agree. I thought it was unfortunate that they felt the need to make Jimmy a guy who punches things rather than a guy who uses his camera to make the world a better place.
Well this has happened before with Jimmy either getting superpower or trying to be like a batman type char.. sort of. If SuperGirl writers stay true to form it never goes over well for him and something bad happens.

Unless Alpert's covered in bacon grease, I don't think Hugo can track anything.

WELCOME to the DC TV UNIVERSE. All the current DC shows at the moment send the exact same message.
I agree that it is annoying and very unfair. Not to mention that it promotes chaos since it shows that all law enforcement agencies are punching bags for the villains.

He hasn't ended his life as James Olsen, so he's still able to help people that way, but now he can help people as Gaurdian as well, In a way James Olsen simply can't.
More than that though, I understand where he's coming from, and see how an ordinary career path wouldn't feel ambitious enough, at least when your best friend is Superman.
Great points. I agree.

Jimmy's parents were gunned down in front of him when he was a child in a dark alley too, forever scaring him emotionally and setting him on a lifelong path of bringing criminals to justice and protecting those the police/government can't/won't stand up for?
Huh must have missed that issue.

No, it really isn't.

Nope. Bruce's reasoning for becoming a superhero is a lot different than Jimmy's.

Do you feel the same way about Batman?
