Well, you know that most of our super heroes, like Batman and Superman, started their fictional careers in the late 1930s, coming up to 90 years now. And as such, the CW team have a rich and varied collection of heroes and villains to choose from. Plus, I wholeheartedly believe that any modern TV or film writer/production team that ignores that rich comic book history are doomed to fail. So, to my simple mind, it makes perfect sense to choose an existing comic book villain rather than try to create a new one from scratch.
Besides, CW has shown that when they borrow characters from the comic book world, and update rather than recreate them, they come up with a winning formula.
To end on a more personal note, I am fed up with film companies buying up and effectively burying comic book characters that they having absolutely no idea what to do with, and when they do something they turn out a turkey like The Fantastic Four (2015) or nonsense like Ang Lee's personal pet version of Hulk (2003).
Sorry, I got a wee bit too serious.
