Thoughts on the finale? Hope the ending doesn't mean more with this news!

'Arrow': John Barrowman Promoted to Series Regular for Season 3

So he supposedly faked being dead in Season 1 I guess after Arrow stabbed him through with the arrow? I never really asked this question before I don't think.

I thought it was pretty good. Cool fight sequence in the tunnel with everyone involved. Wish Oliver and Slade's fight sequence had been more drawn out, but I liked the flashback overlap going on. Solid finale to the season and can't wait for it to come back on. The Flash teaser was pretty neat as well.

I thought those "flashback" scenes were awful and poorly done. I literally was trying to figure out why the hell they were fighting inside, then suddenly on top of oil tankers, then suddenly fighting in the street. I honestly thought someone had seriously screwed up epiclly in the editing room.

The only other complaint I have is that I don't buy Thea suddenly becoming a villain. It simply isn't in her imo or at least the actor didn't convince me.

Aside from those two things overall the finale was good. I wonder what it means for Olliver now that Isabel is dead if anything? It seems like to continue his efforts he needs the R&D and funding from the Queen fortune.

Growing up, I was much more a Marvel fan than I was a DC fan. That said, DC has so many characters that lend themselves toward TV. Seriously, I think if I were a TV exec, I could probably come close to doing an entire network of shows based off of DC characters and concepts. It would all come down to matching the right writers with the right shows.

TV channel would be DCHD. :)

It wouldn't surprise me if Stan Lee was already working on something like this for Marvel. Though the movie route is always more profitable if done right.

Marvel characters work better with a movie template IMO, but DC characters do better with a TV template. I think it's because Marvel characters were generally more fleshed out and defined, while many DC characters lacked clear definition.

Of course with the birth of the retcon, I think a lot of that has changed.

ARROW: The Complete Second Season

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has officially announced and detailed the Blu-ray release of Arrow: The Complete Second Season. The popular CW series stars Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, Willa Holland, Emily Bett Rickards, Colton Haynes, Manu Bennett, Susanna Thompson and Paul Blackthorne, and streets on September 16th.

Synopsis: Based on the DC Comics "Green Arrow" superhero comic book series, Arrow has been reinvented for a modern day audience. Starling City has been torn apart by the Undertaking, so the need for the hooded vigilante -- now known as The Arrow -- is more urgent than ever. After retreating to the island on which he was once stranded, Oliver Queen (Amell) returns to protect his mother, sister and besieged company but comes to realize that allies and enemies have switched sides, and the stranglehold of evil on family, friends and city is diabolically linked to his fateful shipwreck. A once-tight comrade-at-arms and a strength-enhancing, yet mind-warping serum may prove to be the mightiest adversaries The Arrow has ever encountered. Can justice find its target in this 23-episode season? Or will all fall before the fury of Deathstroke?

The Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet Combo Pack release of Arrow: The Complete Second Season features 23 episodes spread across four BD-50 discs, 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, DVD and UltraViolet copies of the entire season, and the following extras:

Well the Arrow is going to be in the "Pilot" of the Flash and I expect there will be a crossover at some point so its coming.

With DC Comics & Warner Bros. announcing that the TV Universe would be separate from the Cinematic Universe maybe we could get a visit from Robin or Nightwing!!

Arrow’s Roy Harper Upgrades to Arsenal for Season Three!

Arrow’s Roy Harper Upgrades to Arsenal for Season Three!

Ever since it was revealed that Colton Haynes would join the cast of The CW’s “Arrow” as Roy Harper it was only a matter of time before fans expected him to put on a hood and get a bow of his own. The wait is now over as The CW (via EW) has revealed our first official look at Roy for the third season and he’s in full on Arsenal mode! Though he first appeared as “Speedy” in the source material, Harper took on the mantel of Arsenal during his Teen Titan years and later reemerged as the Red Arrow.

“Arrow” airs Wednesdays at 8 P.M. ET/PT on The CW with the new season set to premiere on October 8.

I think I've seen it done with both Green Arrow/The Atom and Hawkeye/Ant-Man, but the picture of the shrunk down hero sitting atop an arrowhead as the archer has the arrow drawn back makes for a cool pic. Would be neat to see if they could/would CGI that for a scene in Arrow.

Oliver gave Roy the cure for the Mirakuru in the end of last season right?

Do you have a picture of this? I tried to Google it but didn't see it.

BTW Brandon Routh and Nick from Grimm look so alike.

Don't have a pic. Think there's an Avengers cover somewhere in the 221-225 range of the original series showing Ant-Man holding on to an arrowhead as Hawkeye is getting ready to shoot the arrow.

I just remember thinking it was a cool team-up how two very different heroes played off each others strengths. It would be cool to see it played out on TV.

Ra's al Ghul Introduced in New Trailer for ARROW

Ra's al Ghul Introduced in New Trailer for ARROW

Yesterday the DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. TV announced that the main villain of Arrow season 3 will be Ra's al Ghul! They've been talking about him for awhile now, and he'll finally make his appearance. They even released a new trailer teasing the villain.

Executive producer Marc Guggenheim talked about the character in an interview with THR.

"It really happened very organically in the sense that we had this notion that in episode 16 we were going to reveal that Malcolm Merlyn was trained by the League of Assassins and that's because that's because of the comic book. We were like, you know what we're going to do? We're going to get away with a little reference about a guy in Nanda Parbat who changed his life. That was just the beginning."

They started teasing the character in the season two episode Broken Dolls, and Guggenheim explained,

"We just slowly started creeping towards it and creeping towards it. Then discussions started happening with DC and then Superman-Batman started happening getting into clearer focus," he said. "The character seemed to be available as far as not being used in the movies. It was a very, very organic progression. That was what was fun for us, just how natural it happened."

He went on to discuss what they are planning on doing with the character.

"We have a really clever way of doing Ra's this year that is true to the comic-book origins but different from the way Ra's was portrayed in the Nolan movies. You don't want to compete withBatman Begins, even though we've always said Batman Begins was a big influence on us. We really wanted our Ra's to be very different — at least our own Arrow-ified version."

Arrow has been an awesome show to watch, and the inclusion of Ra's al Ghul is very exciting. I'm sure they'll handle the character with care, and do their best to make fans happy.

J.R. Ramirez To Play Wildcat On ‘Arrow’ Season 3

The role is envisioned as a potentially recurring. In the DC Comics, Ted Grant is a member of the Justice Society for America, as well as the mentor and trainer of other masked vigilantes including the Black Canary.

In Arrow, Grant will be a former boxer who now runs a gym for underprivileged youth. A man with a mysterious past, he will play a pivotal role in Laurel Lance’s arc this season. Wildcat is one of two major DC comic book characters to be added to Arrow this coming seaso, along with villain Ra’s al Ghul. This marks Ramirez’s return to the CW where he recurred on Emily Owens, MD. The actor, repped by Mavrick Artists and manager Marie Mathews, has been recurring on Starz’s drama Power.

Um what about deathstroke isn't he a super soldier?
Or has it been made clear he's a ordinary human with great abilties?

Just because this is mainly a great human archer mainly fighting ordinary enemies as in no super powers doesn't mean you can't ever have super power characters on the tv show.
Maybe your confusing this with Nolan's Batman that wanted to avoid most all super power characters.

The trailer looks kickass be shocked if waller isn't Using the suicide squad which no doubt she mentioned at the end of the bronze tiger episode.

Not sure I can think of a more amazing feat by green arrow for this tv show when he got a arrow out lis shot a arrow not far from a guy that shot a rocket or missile to deny the missile from hitting him.
This was after the guy shot the missile so less time.

Then of course there was the firefighter episode where he shot a arrow to knock closed a lighter freakin incredible.
