if they do use a Batman villain, maybe this is how they tie in Nightwing.

Did you see the Instagram photo of Amell and McQueen, I think at the NHL Finals, with the caption of @amelladventures @lakings #arrow #nightwing #gokings"?

Here is a link talking about it: LINK

From what I read, she was never supposed to be more than an Easter egg.

In that article I linked, they actually shot her in another cameo/Easter egg in the season finale, but it got cut because of time restraints.

But just because they intended her to just be an Easter egg for season 2, that doesn't mean that they can't change their mind and give her some role in an episode in season 3. Maybe the fan excitement over her appearance might spur them to think about it at least.

I get that. The fact that DC is opening up the rogue's gallery now that the show is doing so well, it is a good sign that we may get Harley, at least with Suicide Squad.

Personally, I'd like her to be the main focus of an arc. Something like her boss sending her there to take care of a mask who wasn't worth his time.

that same guy also posted on twitter of him working out with a nightwing shirt on saying he was "training" for the role but i guess that was him just lobbying.

and with harley, her voice would probably change though. in the show, they never showed her because they used the video/cartoon voice actor for her voice. if they actually cast someone theyd have to have a decent harley voice as well.

I thinking that is probably one of the biggest roadblocks in bringing Harley onto the show. She has such a distinct personality, and her incarnations in cartoons and games have had such distinct voices, that casting her character will be very difficult. While fans are clamoring for her, if they cast her wrong those same fans will turn on them in a heartbeat.

Which changes did you not like?


All the little things like calling his sister Speedy and changing the Black Canary's and Talia's names. Idk. It's nitpicking but some of the stuff seemed unnecessary.

they didnt change Talias name. it wasnt her. Talia actually has a half sister. thats who they used.

and its widely believed that Thea will eventually become Speedy like the female Speedy named Mia Dearden (which is Theas middle name)

Like B&G said, The last speedy was a girl who shares a middle name with Thea. And Nyssa is her own DC character, Ra's al Ghul's other daughter.

Thea's middle name is Dearden. Green Arrow had a female side kick named Mia Dearden, aka Speedy.

Nyssa Raatko, aka Nyssa al Ghul, is the other daughter of Ras al Ghul and half sister to Talia.

As for Canary, that is a tricky one. In the origin of the character, there is no Sara Lance. The original Black Canary was Dinah Drake, followed by the more well-known super powered Dinah Laurel Lance. Now, that could mean that Laurel is destined to take her younger sister's place as the Canary. We don't know.

We don't know for sure, but we have a pretty good idea that that was the original intent. It's not like the writers haven't openly hinted at that being the case. Now whether or not Sara's popularity will change that direction, who knows. But I still fully believe that Laurel will eventually take up the Black Canary mantel. I just hope it is later rather than sooner.

I'm not going to read any of the posts on this thread because I just stared watching this. I'm on episode 5 and just saw Deathstroke brought into the picture. Damn, this is going to be a badass show.
Why did I not start sooner.

Dude, if you really liked the 1st five episodes, then you're gonna love the second half of the season. And season 2 will blow you're mind. Have fun watching them.

Arrow casts Katana for Season 3



quote:

After being introduced in multimedia to the general public through the animated series Beware the Batman, Katana is coming to live action in the 2014-2015 season. The character will be a recurring guest star on Arrow in season 3 of the CW hit, played by Devon Aoki.

Assuming she dons her alter ego’s identity, and not just that of the casting notice, Tatsu Yamashiro, we should see Aoki wielding her signature Katana - something comic book fans have already seen the actor do on screen in Sin City as Miho. According to Deadline, Tatsu will be primarily in the flashback sequences, as one of Oliver’s instructors now that he’s in Hong Kong under watch of Amanda Waller and ARGUS, as revealed in the season finale.

In the Green Arrow comic book that the show gains inspiration from, Arrow and Katana were recently revealed as both being connected to a secret organization known as the Outsiders, with multiple clans each representing (and represented by) their weapon of choice, including The Arrow Clan, The Sword Clan, The Fist, and others. While that deeper mythological connection will probably stay off TV, it does set a recent precedent for the two heroes working together on the printed page.

When I saw the pic in your thread I was thinking she's not that intimidating. But now that I see Kilometer's picture, I think she can pull off a nice Katana.

Arrow is getting a new Count Vertigo

quote:

But there is already a character called The Count played by Seth Gabel… no worries, they killed him. Stormare will be introduced as the new maker of the drug Vertigo taking The Count’s place. He will be the first villain of the new season and will go by the name Vertigo.
