ROSENBAUM: I believe in the previous couple of seasons of “Smallville” they began doing digital. After which all these different reveals that got here out had been all digital, which I believe misplaced a few of its luster, perhaps. However all of those reveals had been nice, and so they had been folks I cherished working with, and I've numerous associates on them, and so they had been all large reveals. However I like that you just mentioned we had been the primary as a result of I really feel like we had been. They checked out our program and mentioned, "Wow! That labored, how will we do one other one in all these?" What occurs when one thing works within the leisure business? They tried to recreate that, and so they did it with “Arrow,” “The Flash,” and “Superman and Lois.” In doing so, they are saying thanks with out ever saying thanks. However we're conscious, and they're conscious, that we had been the to begin with these reveals. And I believe that makes me really feel good, figuring out that we had been the primary of many.

Wanting again, I see that after we went digital, which wasn't instant, however there was extra of a, we'll do it once more factor. Sure, I'm sorry, I already forgot your query [Laughs.]

ROSENBAUM: No, you're proper. Quite a lot of these reveals got here after “Smallville” and I believe even films. There have been extra films like that made, and so they noticed them and had been amazed that we had been doing this on the small display. They didn't attempt to imitate it, however they took our formulation and mentioned, "How can we do that our approach?" They'd numerous the identical crews, the identical administrators and cinematographers on “Arrow” and “The Flash.” They wished to do what they knew labored. So, it made good sense.
