A few Golden Age characteristics.
 
1.  The Heroes will be fighting non-costumed individuals more often then villains.  They will be either criminals or Axis spies.  Many will be working for a Mastermind who conceals their identity because they are part of the establishment.   Of course most of the heroes will be too so have some Money and High Society.
 
2.  The Heroes are expected to bring their opponents alive.  That's why no matter what powers the heroes have they will engage in hand to hand combat so they can pull their punches and knock out the criminals and spies out.  You'll have a chance to question them, but the Mastermind will always be nearby to shut them up before they can reveal too much, usually with a secret device that the minion had no idea they were wearing.  Most heroes, especially Bricks, should have Interrogation ("Talk or I'll . . . ")
 
3.  The Heroes will from time to time get captured because the Mastermind will send them into an ambush.  But this will give the Heroes a chance to gain valuable information that will allow them to stop the Mastermind's current evil scheme once they escape.  All characters should have Contortionist.
 
4.  When one of the Mastermind's minions is eliminated for getting captured, this will allow one of the Heroes to infiltrate the gang, and discover a lead to the Mastermind's secret identity.  At least one of the Heroes should have Disguise and Streetwise.
 
5.  The Mastermind is often building an Ultimate Weapon, but needs components and equipment to activate it.  This will lead to thefts and kidnappings of scientists.  At least one of the Heroes should have a Science Skill, and technical skills like electronics, inventor, mechanics, and Systems Operations.
 
6.  In the 1940s is was inconceivable that the Heroes would be vigilantes.  Even Batman in the 1943 Serial was working for the U.S. Government.  So FB: Federal Police Powers and Reputation: Superhero or Crime Fighter is a must. 

Most modern superheroes have a Golden Age counterpart.  There is nothing wrong with taking any  superhero and having them show up back in the 1940s.  Of course if they have Computer Programming they might want to swap that out for Lightning Calculator.

Perhaps you should have the players built the characters with a bare minimum of limitations, and at a low power level.  Most Golden Age Heroes were basically Martial Artist with a few gimmicks or one major power.  All should take Code Of The Hero and Superpatriot, and be vulnerable to Ambushes and Treacherous Attacks.  Pulling Punches should be for free.

Johnny Thunder springs to mind.  The only good thing about his comic is the introduction of Black Canary.

The Sting 1973
Two professional con artists join forces to con a mob boss after he has killed the mentor of one who is also the old friend of the other. They set up a complicated con which involves a lot of other con men who want to get even with the mob boss. This film stars Robert Redford and Paul Newman and won best film at the Oscars. The tune The Entertainer by Scott Joplin is one of the best known pieces in the film and is often in Britain used in Snooker programmes.

The Man in the High Castle Keep

WKRP in Cincinnati (1978-1982)
 
This hilarious sitcom not only had a great cast, but proved to be a showcase for Loni Anderson's talents.
 
and as a reminder of how good this show was
 
"As God is my witness, I thought Turkeys could fly."

Batman The Animated Series (1992-1995)
 
The Batman Legend is brought to live in the best cartoon series that led to Superman and Justice League animated series, and numerous animated movies.  The best stories from the past are retold with present day elements.  Kevin Conroy has become the voice of Batman for nearly three decades, and Mark Hamil will be remembered as the voice of the Joker, rather then just a cautionary tale about one's career choices.

1776 (1974)
 
A great musical about the struggle for the Continental Congress to Declare Independence.

Wait, it's still early yet.

Those two words don't usually appear next to each other in the context of CW shows.

Wonder Woman (1975-1979)
 
Lynda Carter in a Wonder Woman costume.  Enough said.

The Wild Geese (1978)
 
A group of mercenaries goes into an African Nation to save an imprisoned leader, only to face an unexpected betrayal that puts the mission in danger.  Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris, and Hardy Kruger are the mercenaries and we get a good look into the world of professional soldiers for hire.

Arrow's previous season finale showed the Monitor meeting Felicity several years in the future, and taking her to Oliver.  It implied that she would die in the process, as she wouldn't be able to come back.  In the comic version of Crisis, the Monitor dies.
My prediction:  That wasn't the Monitor meeting Felicity.  My guess is that the Monitor dies during Crisis and Oliver takes his place, keeping it secret so his family and friends wouldn't be targeted.  It would be the only way Oliver can get a happy ending.
We can all come back to this thread in a few months and laugh about how I got this wrong...

Perhaps. I was assuming that Ollie and Felicity end up in a pocket dimension for some reason, similar to Earth 2 Superman and Lois in the COIE comic. This is based on the idea that like Earth 2 Superman, Ollie is the first hero of his universe. 

This was my thought as well.
 
Another thought I had was that Cisco didn't really leave the super regeneration cure out for Barry to find so easily, but a decoy and that he has hidden the real super regeneration serum somewhere else.

In Joe Haldenman's 1974 novel The Forever War both humans and aliens developed a stasis field which prevented the use of technological weapons.  Both sides because using low tech weapons like pikes, javelins, and swords in the field instead.
