Today we mostly talk about Greg Sanders and Adrian Chase but we also touch upon the fistful of other characters who have carried the Vigilante name!

Superhero here....superhero there....They're everywhere but now James Gunn has given us his first look at a superhero show with his "unique" brand of comedy. Peacemaker is a spin-off from Gunn's 2021 movie "The Suicide Squad" played by John Cena and stars Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Vigilante... I mean, Adrian Chase, Jennifer Holland as Agent Harcourt and Steve Agee as John Economos aka "dye beard" and Robert Patrick as Auggie Smith aka White Dragon aka Peacemakers dad. We pretty much love everything about this show and we highly recommend it. Finally, we watch the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife and even though I have a few issues with the story and how they handled the extra characters, it was still a great movie that made us laugh and smile all through out. Written and Directed by Jason Reitman and staring McKenna Grace as Phoebe, Finn Wolfhard as Trevor, Paul Rudd as Grooberson and Carrie Coon as Callie. So join us once more as we watch and talk about Peacemaker and Ghostbusters: Afterlife --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/welcometothenightside/message

enjoying a one oh you were saying that the ratings were down for supergirl amine again what do you want from Super Hurley you heard it here first people just back from the dead or something now I think I think I remember him saying the everyday have to ask and they really need to fix that afterlife season one I think they can come back within I think I think what was it last season probably mostly they were pushing that whole car and Lena they don't do good though I feel like best is like a thing so supergirl is technically CBS productions though they kind of a friendship and now that that's on the rocks they will get the sisterhood back yet also it's really a shame rate we all Mulino was a total luther I choose my car let's be friends leave ah people asking that online too I was like you know maybe who knows keihin baffle is now by kind of like the member when we had like we had one show Monday through Thursday yeah that was pretty old was what supergirl Monday flash Tuesday Arrow Wednesdays from higher she's giving blood return it dammit that's what I'm saying yeah I mean the core demographic may not be going for those other shows but you know some competition let's talk about that one all right episode asking me question the rabbit hole they're like wait we get joker yeah but how you tie Jervis touched the Kane family that would be that'd be substrates hybrid of like Jervis there were people that are like staying in more like watching TV Matt that night that he used to be because the economy saw that too on a nowhere more should I tried to get out so most killed her girlfriend she might be the tragic leads the intro this just she just can't have a good let's say the waned in the canes or busy beavers move it is man makes us the him to put on the black suit out is he gonNA run the black suit the getting is going to be the Black Sea relationship that the shame would seem what's like her you know her and Caitlyn it's like you you know they can't you know everyone there with it's either she lose them or their turn auto but even though season three was episode you just entitled the Now he's this is just like my I think there's like some kind of weird speaker trade you'll going on maybe if she if she relates Jarvis of like no it's just a total Kuwait unique that Alice has the same alice in wonderland no he's going to be a classic suit he's GonNa put on because remember in that like the the blanche was actually my favorite looking smallville like insperity little senior this this chain China actively prevent lose my career something like Bruce Wayne's like second key you know he'll be a second cousin twice removed how they say that the word I'm looking for lightning on the news navy tain because they're shows don't do good on his always the warner brothers shows that are candidate at e supernatural bases like before last crossover 'cause they're building the origin yeah I just wondered if they were waiting till after crisis Mush Casper I just wonder if he's going to have that can't remember right now is going to say I wonder if he's GonNa come in with Bruce Wayne's phase and try to convince everyone Bruce Lane but he's you know anyway finale at lake there were kind of foregoing that the the week right now nursery China thoughtlessness do I do the Gabriel Mann which is on if you guys events fan yes yet Bruce Wayne type no not really just as long as this as long as they look like he's ninety years old that proves wayne on titans okay kick rods is there some reason he he knows that's Alice but he doesn't want anyone else to know that I'm getting really yeah we're getting hush definitely and I heard that was early on in this unit do okay 'cause I was gonna say I will I just wondered if like this is a little in the past live is in the last that had so many issues insomnia weight Kono changes gave me whiplash. NFL It they lake no matter what happens if the gross here so yeah fell yeah there's that whole thing but the action is like really thou- this show much like era wasn't Versi Eden and the lead heavily on that of re rose ethics caretaker but like kind of backsliding on her character's lowly Thomas Cladding into the background and apple is that sister bondage on what he needs to be either that could be a respect airport I just know flash season one they could be best friend likes kincaid he could be a good dad could happen oh so he will either be either Tommy Elliot face or just like down the Elliott wonder if he was friends with her childhood to like Bruce Whatever it went to a prestigious private school together what do you mean other people know each other's Objects in my head can cause Robert deserved it at that point I was rooting for as root for publicly to Pappas Oughta be hush he's fought Batman numerous times yeah oh I wonder if I mean you'd have to castrate today say and so it's like a rear that we are doing like the Alice in Wonderland theme because this one is the rabbit hole next week is kind of like down down down I'm totally candidate the whole step ma you will step mom thing though but what did the Lucy moyer if you google the pitcher Gabriel man to in a I collection have been or rather hall the other side is what I wonder if Alice is going to lake disappear something you know once crisis starts uh she's behind the the way the shoe behind the seeking of the Queen's Gambit the more that we bought it as aero went on I totally believe that it was how Merlin and she just blame Merlin Scroll raid and yeah screw away that nobody had been my first interview if the second episode absolutely capital actually move on black lightning before year season three episode to the book of Occupation Chapter Two I hate again it's like I hate the I hate when they drag out the prison stuff like I thought Oliver and Berry were in jail too long so it's kind of this long enough but number one I made fun Bruce and he punched me in the face talking about as a kid caught them what season one and all we never saw him again Porco balance what a great interview my thank you later origin stories that are out on an island flashbacks for ninety years Like we just put everything hold the we come back yeah that cave you know along titles needs to I'll say late as much as I wanted to black lightning or Allah the show runner I like what you know they build on what they did in the first episode and I think it I think it was a little better than the first week so that people are starting to feel a little more fleshed out being locked up so it's like with Jefferson like out already but I just wonder maybe there are GonNa be way too late at getting overshadowed in his own show why did the way they try to introduce the ruthless gang like really tally TV. 00:15:16 - 00:28:25 I thought the thought I read somewhere we getting hush avenger up until the premiere I mean I mean like I said they're trying something new I like it but it's like I was hoping that they were going to pull you know when why just wonder if they have locked up as he's going to be in the in the crossover maybe so you know maybe doesn't probably the store back but but yeah even I mean we saw both daughters but it's like except for like that fight the school I mean wasn't that Moore gotTa pick up yeah so that that's just kind of I was like my head cannon for crossover like contained bubble levels part Oh yeah the pace it around in our two thumbs until crisis give me the super bowl that rumor doing cool you can too I just wanted the religion of crime or whatever we're going to get the Crime Bible wondering game the move very quickly actually at elegant late that we don't have the power kind of focus novels mystery road raveling in jail rates I was yeah I was getting impatient for Bo so it's like yeah I don't enjoy drag out the pre you know them Martin Brock Akil is like the bomb dot com I ate slept in read girlfriends the game as it's like really happy that she she seconds yeah Oh hashtag still bitter forever better felt so duke there we watch the I just wonder if like you know the dad's going to turn out to be you know she the bag I saw yeah definitive now Kamya GonNa be that big honor you don't think now I don't I just I was wondering like 'cause I don't think the the show is getting that's the thing about our crossovers sometimes at a like except for the last one obviously to they're sending out Christ urged we knew washing like Caesar one small vo chance of hope the house workouts up the pace I mean compared I mean look at all the other all the air over Che's I mean that is grounded but now it's like we have that blight aided by they have really cool beans and stuff awake anymore action flow bird besides that no this is like some weird like take on the industrial prison complex the blackmail but now why do they call them green light babies like none of them are babies I mean there's like tea like the super show at the same time to yeah an okay how do I say this without sounding completely offensive what are they called that's doing a such a big story lot maybe they'll stay in an actual historic using the character though yeah no no no no no I haven't so it's like this whole in that movie brings up the whole arm being about the blackmail the green lantern radar ready no I thought they were gonNA when they're talking about the more Kobi's and everything like that guy was going to be like okay you work for us it just look you know who I'm talking about he's had a blog you can't look like a hybrid between Savvy Ed Yeah I just wonder if like is is black lightning going to end maybe at least a week before crisis starts up so it was are they gonna like is the amy so much better and I just I don't know what's going on with that show but I agree with you there's a lot of good stuff in here like the seams and stuff but he just needed majors and stuff but it's like you ever given movie probably not no no no offense David retirees she just called me in the you know my my era has houses a crib like that whole thing episode of the death appoint Homey they learned that year Ya know like I I don't know how to go about I guess is are all the set of that episode one dated and you know I don't like the Axon like he can just go take a long walk up short year now and I mean black lightning doesn't get usually get twenty two episodes like Flash Airlines record so the pay should pay should be quicker limited upper garlic's especially you know we'll be to someone come lookin' exactly I mean I know he's had appeared yeah but he's done it before that's the whole thing I guess either very like Hannah on trustworthy Kinda Superhero you know what any I guess we're the government you're gonNA work for us now gop sh hey I get jets superman shirt wearing a superman but it's just super grow they've making fixing as Africa's real characters or yeah talent and this this show kind of prolong steak unnecessarily from season one under is is it confirmation that there's like no other major superheroes on this earth cities in curfew like no one's come investigate so we have tapie robot heroes permission I made it made it they're like Superhero wars I don't know but as far as the public's concern is just the here bribe yeah you're saying ages at a really late on Titan like I am I love that way they're actually dealing with that whole emotional midseason GonNa you know before the holidays our original roads and Jefferson just like pulled through a portal and then you know when the show comes back it's just like but I think the the problem last year's I think they did too much nora which I understand I think they were trying to build her ups like you know she disappeared made him more yeah it's good yeah tight titan season two superior to seize it oh we're not over to you're the best night of the week Tuesday activated I actually prefer Eero this week has favorite erode show the is knowing I don't know I don't know if I'm banned waking do the big lawyer with the the show runners right kind of aesthetic informed superheroes definitely like supposed to be a rope here though that would be Kinda odd for the crossover they're all just bear that woman that Kinda sorta grounded as well and even more so because she doesn't have powers though you gotta definitely differentiations out sometime but we'll get thirty eight thirty seven the the route they they dhadly figured out where their bread is buttered they're they're honing in I love the flash I love this show flashing era or these they were my two favorites this week by aeroplane the best but yeah lashes back heartstrings later I don't know like I can come at it from so many different angle that they were like Hannah taken that whole static shock thing it's a backout so yeah happen you know it's way cars are still on now when Cisco and him came out the last endure like bang babies don't like it could be a lot of things I don't know sometimes I think about black lighting way to people a metaphor is who are we mentioned in previous season but maybe like you know like with that man you are only you know you can't come in you can watch going me Adam personality just the bang baby take on the bank baby so I thought something like that then yeah you're gonNA retirement again perfectly so that bothered who it's fine shoop I could've told somebody like I am retire you know complex thing they have just gloss over that almost all the other media with actually kind of dive into fiery anyways tragic law I think little little memorial for her that was really durable Fred I'm just like okay now I saw man it just I just love when he tried to go to the future hit that an anti-matter just gobbling up the earth is awesome yeah so when we get in Kavanagh's priority oh she looks like his mom Oh oh but you had the love that when they are sent his other nor back if all these ever what's what's her face I initially black but Jessica Yay yet she is a woman in public that is true it was going to have them but at the pep talk but then the final battle just like Berry just taken the blast just like walking right into it uh-huh yeah but you just had love this flashes of the future from December yeah just like straight for the call I know and his his wife who looks just like berries mouth you're right in the year Brown apple or berry right in that moment ooh that's so accurate ethin- hurt I was just like they actually read it did it they even say that Dr Ward it just like he you know he takes the Meta human you know shoots day powered dampener on her like Joe's back being a bad ass I love it's like we have all these alien-green Leonard's was Kenneth Two black ones and John Coogan pink alien but there's going to be a version of Lila that's harboring harbingers have you not as fast right that that's all coming activists parietal but like I was just the is funny because like he kept giving her these weird looks like is just J. 00:28:25 - 00:34:31 think like Berry dated order woman her Earth One and it looked like his way other like they're a legacy on like all they're doing the titans character ha ha but you know he was co created by the new flash show runner or somebody you know what I mean like I'm getting another woman coming with all the all the human -gree Leonard Williams one woman she thought though thanks a lot about that though his name now but I'm just saying I'm just like then they are all shocked can have I mean I prefer the Mala if they're gonNA do another human land like I would begin to to three by so yes they will need a black woman earn Asian woman you down for that Mr Voice Nights Courtesy Ray Palmer yeah yeah I was like they said they we're getting aw that ever happened to be so bad it's courtesy of re Palmer you've failed to city workouts get on it but only man that that that battle at the end will after we get all is thousands like okay I see what you did there don't they didn't see what you did homey cecile become in a defense attorney for many humans up kind of hard by the way you could check out my guest appearance on the last episode of last Son's Crypt on because ray was out so you know what about the what about the killer frosting these days helmet yeah that was a great such Bernie I love the helmet now the only you personally relate to that situation true she short that you I think he thinks he's only like in real life the actresses like

throughout the line narrower I'm an adult I don't care killer frost in the errors are now though when the Matt Star Fitting Gary Out that cool of a- character out there I knew I knew you're GonNa love this episode with all season one called we're thinking Nah Nah I could hear the fan fake being written as haven't had title starling city up like the first season do they knew what they did with styling any okay they do and the like wasn't an accident or did the monitor intentionally drop Oliver Leeann you all look intentional John Lewis skip over going back to the island again here's my question that they know listen I know the troll tumbler twitter the kids who are gay yet to give that up just waiting for unlike dropping a bomb on the anti monitor like near nights courtesy array Paul Oliver Tooth but Fido Ero I mean in that on that Earth because he said something about something Bruce Wayne One's told him and then we saw Batman Cower authorities either Batman or about woman's Cowan the Luton Container Aero shut me in the heart with an Arrow Lake Olma God season eight episode one starling city I was like I'm surprised like we late aero has not been as playful so confidence a forceful and being a progressively good story to tell I don't know where the smoking areas like Oh then told me comes down the steps I know I I just nine golden age you are right I think builders by far superior than any other superman I don't even think Oh okay here okay here's my question I mean yeah we know stuff probably GonNa work out the end but how are you having a flat speak GonNa say

for race we talked by one of my favourite issues of action comics and we were talking about Fleischer Superman corral is at this point on I don't badmouth his third wasn't them but anyway let's get to the island Batman and so that's what I'm saying I wonder if that's where he taught the Oliver Death Stroke was Adrian Chason Batman there flash he plays or something like that if anything I think Earth Ninety Flash I think they definitely want to have a backup in I think they kind of learned accent many Oh my God like Aggie address had all the hill they basically shoved most the season one though in our do some and then like just like shunned him away the last year that right you've kind of forget but then the ice show up the last minute save everybody online but yeah it was great happening what we can see more yeah they come home and everything and then like the whole itchy harsh judge people yeah yeah even for the dummy their lesson after that whole thing rare didn't gauge

"They were very gracious about it." At this time, it's unknown if recurring Flash characters Harry Wells and Jesse Quick managed, both denizens of Earth-2, escaped their world's destruction. However, according to Arrow star Stephen Amell, Oliver witnessing the destruction of an alternate Earth will continue to impact him for the rest of the season. https://www.cbr.com/arrow-clear-destruction-earth-2-flash-writers/ Green Arrow and the Canaries: Arrow Spinoff Series Gets First Promo Poster (Date: 16 Oct 2019) A new poster for the upcoming female-centric Arrow spinoff spotlights the new Green Arrow Mia Smoak (Katherine McNamara), as well as the two Canaries (Katie Cassidy and Juliana Harkavy), Laurel Lance and Dinah Drake. The art was shared by Arrow co-creator Marc Guggenheim. "Arrow's final season bows today, so it feels appropriate to share this glimpse of its future," he wrote. Stylized to look like a comic book, the art features Laurel and Dinah in their current costumes, while Mia seems to be wearing one inspired by her father. https://www.cbr.com/green-arrow-and-the-canaries-arrow-spinoff-series-first-promo-poster/ Crisis on Infinite Earths: Stephen Lobo Cast as Jim Corrigan, AKA The Spectre (Date: 16 Oct 2019) Another DC Comics icon will make their Arrowverse debut during the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. IGN can exclusively reveal that Detective Jim Corrigan, human host of the powerful cosmic entity known as the Spectre, will appear in the crossover. The CW has cast Stephen Lobo (Continuum, Supernatural) as Jim Corrigan. The network isn't confirming whether The Spectre himself will appear, though given the character's role in the original Crisis on Infinite Earths comic, that seems a distinct possibility. In the comics, Corrigan is a mortal human bonded to the Spectre, a powerful supernatural avenger. That bond is intended to give the so-called "Spirit of Vengeance" a conscience and a better perspective on mortal affairs. The two are among many heroes who do battle with the Anti-Monitor during Crisis. https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/16/crisis-on-infinite-earths-spectre-jim-corrigan-casting-crossover-cw-arrow-stephen-lobo FEEDBACK DISCORD: RandyWalker I totally forgot that Earth-2 Laurel went back to Earth-2. NGL I totally didn't pay attention to the ending few episodes of season 7. The FTA sucked then and it's still bad. Adrian Chase's hair was sexy yakk0dotorg very satisfying premiere of Arrow last night. I enjoyed it a lot. StephenJondrew Totally agree - right from start to finish. I loved the ending seconds. It was so good. Also, the Diggle-car scene was a fantastic moment. I enjoyed how that whole Diggle debut played out. E-MAIL: From David: First off I wanted to start off by saying I am going to miss your podcast. I look forward to your arrow recap every week. A couple of thoughts. Am I the only one who notices that the Queen mansion looked different. The foyer didnt look the same as it did in season 1 and 2. Also, do you guys have any speculation as to what happened to Robert Queen on Earth 2? The last thing I remember was that he was the hood. I also know people hate the Flash Forwards but I actually think they are building to a place where Oliver will end up in the future recruiting Mia and her team, since the Monitor told Felicity in the finale of season 7 "Believe me, the world will need her as well" NEXT EPISODE Link to Promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfj3xucI8Xk (Date: 15 Oct 2019) Episode: “Welcome to Hong Kong” [Season 8 Episode 2] Air Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2019 Summary: Oliver, John, Laurel, and Tatsu seek out an important person within The Monitor's plan.

Come back to "Starling City" with Oliver Queen. Now in service of the Monitor, he begins his travels on the road to his final destiny by experiencing what life might have been in this alternate reality. Here, Oliver has been missing from the boat tragedy for twelve years. Black Siren and the Hood have been trying to protect the city from the Dark Archer. But the Hood is Adrian Chase and the bad guy is Tommy Merlyn. First, Oliver has to restrain his emotions as he comes to terms with his new reality. His mother Moira is alive and married to Malcolm. Thea has died of a drug overdose because he wasn't there to save her. But the Monitor won't let him worry about minor details like that. He must retrieve a dwarf-star particle to help for the upcoming Crisis. But Tommy has other plans for it. Luckily, Diggle followed Oliver to Earth-2 and helps him out despite all of his friend's objections. With Oliver's final fate looming, our hero experiences pains of the past and alternative possibilities before seeing what may be in store for his universe. Jay and Josh begin the Undertaking of breaking down the final season of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast!
With all the great things that happened in Arrow S8E1 Starling City, it says something to me that one of the most satisfying things was watching Oliver put a knee to the face of Earth-2 Rene. Look, Rene is STILL a snitch and deserves beatdowns from Ollie any time there's an opportunity. Sorry not sorry. Anyway, the final season of Arrow takes us all the way back to the beginning....sorta. We have more information on what Oliver is doing for The Monitor to prepare for the upcoming Crisis. We also get to witness first hand an Earth being erased. As we said on The Flash review, Crisis is inevitable. Please get Diggle a Power Ring and stop making him strap on this ridiculous helmetPhoto Credit: CW Some things that stood out this episode: It was great to see Moira again. Susanna Thompson has been missed. Also missed has been the chemistry she has with Stephen Amell. Say what you want about Amell's acting chops, his scenes with Thompson are always fantastic and seeing them reunited this episode (even briefly) was wonderful Batman is clearly coming. Obviously we have the Batwoman TV show but there's been too many mentions of Bruce Wayne and the Dark Knight in the Arrowverse prior to that to ignore. And we get a direct mention of Bruce Wayne this episode Adrian Chase as the Hood with Laurel training him. I love that no matter the Earth, Adrian and Oliver just don't like each other, even if they're on the same side. Also, it's nice to see Laurel stepping up and being the hero Oliver knew she could be. Speaking of Laurel and heroes, the future plot line is super interesting and is shaping up to be a great backdoor pilot for Canaries. With Laurel's Earth now seemingly destroyed, it makes sense she would come back and help form the Canaries to carry on the task of heroes Oliver and Diggle. Brothers to the end. Also, give Diggle a Power Ring. Watching him strap on that bicycle helmet made it look even more ridiculous Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

"It's a love letter to the show; it really is," Guggenheim said of Thompson's return. "I was telling [executive producer] Beth [Schwartz], it felt a lot like the series finale, not the season premiere, in the best possible way, almost to the point where we're like, 'What are we going to do for the series finale?'

Hot Dang! In this episode we tackle the New Teen Titans Annual #2, featuring the debut of the imaginatively named new vigilante, Vigilante! Topics of discussion include: Adrian Chase was truly the World's Worst District Attorney, the prevalence of sushi bashing in the 80's, comparative Beast Boy physiology, and the ending of 'Roadhouse'. All this plus the surprisingly progressive DCU mafia, and the debut of six new supervillains. Enjoy! Enjoy!
Cory and Hub take a look at the action packed News Teen Titans #34! This issue contains one of the most talked about plot developments in Teen Titans history, so naturally, our hosts discuss: the rules for spaghetti lap dances, Cory is a lot like Cyborg, the lack of BMX tricks in the movie Predator, and Adrian Chase is no Sam Waterston. All this, plus Hub makes a VERY funny pun about Beast Boy not turning into a dinosaur. Enjoy! Enjoy!
Our hosts read New Teen Titans #27, and man, this issue is a real bummer. I mean, it's good, but...dang! Kinda a lot of teenage runaways get killed. Our hosts try to inject some levity by discussing: their ignorance of Milk Duds and sarcasm, Adrian Chase is the worst DA ever, Robin has no chill, and Cyborg has a confirmed canonical dick punch! All this, plus the return of Speedy, and Aqualad's secret underwater wrestling league! Enjoy! Enjoy!

The book will be published by Titan books and will hit shelves on January 30, 2018. The story will help to bridge the gap between the show's fifth and sixth seasons.

(Date: 10 Aug 2017) Speaking to Comic Book Resources, executive producer Marc Guggenheim has this response when asked about De Gouw's potential return. “I want to say, ‘Absolutely [to Huntress returning].' Jessica De Gouw has expressed an absolute willingness to come back. Jessica's a favorite actor of mine, and the Huntress is a favorite character of mine. I want to make it happen in Season 6. We've got some plans for the later half of the year that I think she will fit into really well, so we'll see.” https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/arrow/arrow-season-6-may-see-jessica-de-gouws-huntress-return-will-she-be-friend-or-foe-a153187 John Barrowman Addresses Possible Arrowverse Return (Date: 12 Aug 2017) But according to a recent post from Barrowman's Instagram - inspired by our reporting - it appears that he is very willing to return. Barrowman took to Instagram today to address recent comments made by Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow showrunner Marc Guggenheim. As the fan-favorite actor explained, he had been under the impression that there wasn't an opportunity for him to return - until he read our report on Guggenheim's comments. "I am surprised and very happy to hear Marc Guggenheim's comments about Merlyn's future in the Arrowverse," Barrowman explained, "because in a very decisive phone conversation we had with Wendy Mericle, I was led to believe that there were no plans to bring Merlyn back." http://comicbook.com/2017/08/12/arrow-john-barrowman-malcolm-merlyn-dead-return/ Arrow EP Discusses the Possibility of John Barrowman's Return (11 Aug 2017) “That's up to John,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim told reporters during a recent roundtable. “We told John when we called him to tell him about the events of the finale, every single person on all the shows has come back in some shape or form. We've got flashbacks, we've got time travel, we've got parallel universes. Goodbye is never goodbye. He has an open invitation to return to the show any time he wants.” http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/08/11/arrow-merlyn-john-barrowman-return/ Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Arrow, Grey's, Once, Lethal Weapon, Supergirl, The Night Shift, NCIS and More (Date: 09 Aug 2017) There has been a lot of hinting and build-up to Arrow‘s Felicity starting up her own company, Smoak Tech. Are there plans for this in Season 6? — Co-showrunner Marc Guggenheim explained, “That was something we wanted to do last year, and then we got sort of seduced by the Helix storyline. I would say that people wanting that storyline will be happy, but for reasons that I think will be very obvious, it can't be called Smoak Technologies. And all those clever readers who are like, ‘That's because she'll be changing her last name to Queen,' it's not Queen Technologies, either.” https://tvline.com/2017/08/09/arrow-season-6-spoilers-felicity-slade-son/ Arrow Season 6 Villain Will Be the Biggest Bad Yet, EPs Promise (Date: 07 Aug 2017) At Comic-Con International, Arrow executive producers Wendy Mericle and Marc Guggenheim weighed in which characters are returning, how Oliver's son William will affect the show, and how they plan to bring the first four-episode crossover to the CW this fall. The season's theme is family. Examine being a father and a superhero. They “are just focusing on the elements that worked last year. The gritty crime stories, the grounded tone.” http://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-6-villain/ GENERAL DC TV NEWS Spoiler Room: Scoop on Blindspot, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Grey's Anatomy, and more (Date 10 Aug 2017) Will Kuasa crossing paths with Ray on Vixen be addressed on Legends of Tomorrow? — Ray's knowledge of Kuasa just may help the Legends version of Vixen. EP Marc Guggenheim says, “If you go back and look at Vixen season 2, I wouldn't exactly call her fighting alongside Ray, she's always been morally questionable, but I think that's what makes it interesting as far as Amaya is concerned is that Ray, at the appropriate moment, will accurately tell her that there were moments where Kuasa was capable of selfless good, so I think that gives Amaya a little bit of hope.” http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/10/spoiler-room-blindspot-brooklyn-nine-nine-greys-anatomy/ ‘The Flash' Casts Sugar Lyn Beard as Hazard (EXCLUSIVE) (Date: 09 Aug 2017) Sugar Lyn Beard has been cast as Rebecca Sharpe, aka Hazard, for the fourth season of “The Flash.” The “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” star will appear in the third episode of The CW series' upcoming season.

We know at least one member of the Emerald Archer's team made it out relatively unscathed, since Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy) will officially suit up as Black Canary in season 6 — and EW has the exclusive first look. EW turned to executive producer Wendy Mericle to get the scoop. Mericle said about Dinah suiting up, “We have an intervening five months between the finale and where we pick up in the premiere and I think we will take the opportunity to tell the full story of it. But I think yes, the island and everything that happened in the finale has driven her to this point. But at the same time, it's really the team and this sense of her being a part of something. She was adrift before, but now she's part of a family and part of this bigger force in the world.” http://ew.com/tv/2017/07/13/arrow-season-6-spoilers-black-canary/ Anna Hopkins (Samantha Clayton) was awesome in Dark Matter “Ambrosia” Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on Arrow, Goldbergs, Superstore, Roseanne, Originals — Plus, Blind Item Hint! (Date: 12 July 2017) What can we expect for Black Siren? — Ausiello: You can expect much of the aforementioned villainy, sprinkled with the occasional wish for a turn-around, at least by those who knew her Earth-One doppelgänger. “I don't know if there's any question about whether or not the [idea] of redemption will come up; it has to,” co-showrunner Wendy Mericle told TVLine. “Her father is there. Oliver is there. Everyone is going to be asking whether or not it's possible to find a little piece of Laurel, the Laurel Lance they knew and loved, in there somewhere.” That said, “I think she's interesting as a [villain],” Mericle asserted. “Black Siren is a badass.” BONUS SCOOP: Even with Adrian Chase dead, Oliver's battle to conceal his secret identity is far from over. Rumor has it he will be dogged by a curious FBI agent this season. http://tvline.com/2017/07/12/roseanne-revival-glenn-quinn-death-mark-abc/ Manu Bennett's Slade Wilson Will Stick Around This Time (Date: 9 July 2017) Speaking at Heroes & Villains FanFest in Nashville this weekend (via TVLine), Amell teased that Bennett is “back to being a part of the show” and that he might pop up “multiple times this year.” Amell didn't offer much more information than that, so it's possible that Wilson really is dead and Bennett will appear in some kind of convoluted flashback sequences, but it sounds like we're getting more Deathstroke either way. http://www.avclub.com/article/manu-bennetts-slade-wilson-will-stick-around-arrow-257854 Do you need a moment Chris? GENERAL DC TV NEWS The Flash Season 4 Set Photos Reveal Wally West in Flash Costume (Date: 13 July 2017) New set photos reveal that Flash actor Keiyan Lonsdale - who plays the TV version of Wally West - will be officially taking over the mantle of The Flash! http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/07/13/the-flash-season-4-wally-west-flash-costume/?utm_source=Comicbook.com&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=170713_104250_Comicbook.com%20Daily%20Newsletter&utm_content=Link EXCLUSIVE: Trio of Character Breakdowns for ‘THE FLASH', Season 4! (Date 13 July 2017) Character breakdowns of the 3 new additions! CLIFFORD DEVOE/THE THINKER–Male, 40-50, Any Ethnicity. After being caught in the particle accelerator explosion, Clifford Devoe became an extremely intelligent meta-human. A super genius who's plans to fix all he sees wrong with humanity. Regular for Season 4. THE MECHANIC–Female, 30-40, Any Ethnicity. An extremely intelligent engineer who will design devices for Clifford Devoe. Basically, Devoe's right hand. She'll support Devoe no matter the consequences. RECURRING GUEST. RALPH DIBNY/ELONGATED MAN - Male, Mid to late 30s, Any Ethnicity. A Ryan Reynolds or Chris Pratt type. Ralph is able to drastically change the shape of his body, but is having a difficult time changing his ways. Will most likely be comedic relief for the season. MAJOR RECURRING GUEST STAR, COULD COME BACK IN SEASON 5. http://thathashtagshow.com/2017/07/exclusive-trio-of-character-breakdowns-for-the-flash-season-4/ Wonder Woman Has the Best Superhero Box Office Holding in 15 Years (Date 13 Jlu 2017) The Patty Jenkins-directed film Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot, has just taken the top spot for highest North American box office hold of any superhero movie, dethroning Sam Raimi's Spider-Man from 2002.

Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday May 27th, 2017. As submitted by Edward O'Hare, nickname To Be Determined. There were 6 new episodes this week, including 3 finales and one penultimate episode. Gotham - Penguin and Riddler worked together to escape the Court of Owls prison and agreed not to kill each other for 6 hours. The Shaman finally trained Bruce to hide his mom's pearls in a safe and become the perfect weapon. Selena attacked Evil Bruce, revealing the truth to Alfred. Evil Bruce whipped them both and ran. Selina refused to help Alfred find real Bruce. After a dangerous run-in with an ax-handed, bomb-dropping Barnes, Jim and Harvey finally brought in Kathryn, let Alfred beat her up, and watched her get decapitated by Barnes, after he turned the precinct into Fury Road. Barnes was finally taken down until he escaped. Lucius pieced together a crystal owl and discovered it was a map of the Court's plan. Last Minute Reveal: In the middle of all this everyone failed to notice Lee being consumed with sorrow for Mario's death and hatred for Jim (probably because all the boys kept her out of the loop). Before they could realize it, Lee stole the Tetch virus and injected herself with it! Lucifer Penultimate Episode - Charlotte gave money to a guy claiming to have the missing piece of the Flaming Sword of Eden. The guy took the money into a backroom and was murdered. Lucifer maneuvered Chloe to take the case. It was pretty obvious that the killer was Chet, the wannabe rockstar son of a Drug Queen. Lucifer and Charlotte were able to recover what they paid for: the key to a safe-deposit box that contained a Sumerian text. Chet tried killing Charlotte, but a cut caused light to shoot out of Charlotte and roast Chet's face off. Maz tried to get Luci to help stop Dr. Linda from getting suspended for last episode's antics. Luci only made it worse when he slipped that he slept with Linda. Last Minute Reveal: After reading the text Amenadiel and Lucifer learned the third piece of the sword was a key given to God's favorite son. Amenadiel jealously thought it referred to Lucifer until his necklace began to be drawn to the sword! Supergirl Season 2 Finale - Kara had to knock out Superman to snap him out of a silver Kryptonite trance. J'onn woke up from his coma. Kara challenged Rhea to a one-on-one fight for all the marbles. James defended Cat Grant, who immediately recognized him as the Guardian. Clark and J'onn defended the city with help from M'Gann who swung over from Mars. Kara was forced to activate a weapon that Lena converted to make Earth's atmosphere toxic to all Daxamites. The fallout disintegrated Rhea and the Daxamites bounced but Mon-El was also forced to leave Earth. During the celebration, Alex proposed to Maggie. Kara felt down, got some encouragement from Cat, and we saw her fly straight into the air at full speed as Mon-El's ship entered a wormhole. Last Minute Reveal: 35 years ago, on the day Krypton died, another baby was placed in a small spacecraft by a woman who touched the child with a drop of blood and declared that when the baby reached Earth, it would reign! The Flash Season 3 Finale - Iris was alive! HR used his transmogrifier to take her place. Savitar kidnapped Cisco, forcing him to modify the bazooka into a quantum splicer that would help Savitar avoid being erased from time. Barry tried offering Savitar an olive branch, but it didn't work out. Instead of saving Savitar, Cisco's splicer freed Jay Garrick from the speed force. In the final showdown, Barry vibrated Savitar out of his suit, leaving him to be swallowed by the Paradox. Julian offered Caitlin a cure but she decided instead to walk the Earth. Just when it seemed like Iris and Barry could start planning their wedding, the Speed Force reigned a storm that threatened to destroy Central City unless Barry served penance for his transgressions from this season. Last Minute Reveal: Barry said his goodbyes to the team, kissed Iris, and joined the vision of his Mom in the breach. After he disappeared the storm faded away! iZombie - Harley Johns posted his zombie attack video and received mixed reactions. A Fillmore Graves helicopter exploded and Vivian Stoll was killed. Liv pan-fried the brain of a daredevil who burned to death after riding a bike through a ring of fire wearing a hay costume. Turns out one of his producers sabotaged the suit's flame retardant after the prankster knocked up his girlfriend. Liv shared the brain with Justin and they had their first kiss, but Justin got in trouble for stealing Super Max from work. Angus came up with a brilliant business strategy to take advantage of the Zombie outbreak. Blaine ruined that by leaving Angus to rot at the bottom of a well with cement shoes, and taking over his businesses. Last Minute Reveal: Liv put on some spray tan and hair dye and tried sneaking into a zombie haters meeting with Ravi, but she had to leave when she saw Harley Johns taking people's blood pressure at the door! Arrow Season 5 Finale – 5 years ago, Oliver fought and killed Kovar, was rescued by fisherman, and called his mom. In the present, Oliver enlisted help from Merlyn, Nyssa al-Ghul, and Deathstroke to infiltrate Lian Yu. Felicity, Curtis, Thea, and Samantha were freed. Malcolm sacrificed himself to save Thea from a land mine. Oliver and Deathstroke rescued Diggle, Quentin, Rene, and Dinah. Final matchups included Nyssa vs. Talia and Quentin vs. Black Siren. Felicity and Curtis discovered that the getaway plane had been disabled and the whole island was rigged with C-4 set to blow once Adrian Chase died. Ollie tracked Chase to a fishing boat and once off the coast, Chase revealed William, making Oliver choose between saving his son or all his friends. Ollie shot Chase in the leg and saved William. Last Minute Reveal: Just when it looked as though Chase had finally been defeated, the bastard pulled out a revolver and shot himself, causing the whole island to explode. Is all of Team Arrow dead?!
Don't expect a fun vacation on "Lian Yu". Oliver has brought Malcolm and Nyssa to Lian Yu for a final showdown with Adrian Chase. While he's there, he picks up Slade Wilson and Digger Harkness. Oliver has a solid plan, but as usual, Chase seems to be ten steps ahead of him. They manage to rescue the team, but getting off the island is proving impossible, and they can't find William. Not to mention, if Chase dies, the whole island is set to blow up! It all comes down to an epic showdown. Can Oliver save everyone and still remain a hero? Jay and Josh are ready to go on their summer vacation, if they can just find a plane that works, on the season finale of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast. Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!
Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday May 20th, 2017. IAs submitted by Edward O'Hare, nickname To Be Determined. Six new episodes, three of them were penultimate. So many bombshells. So much excitement: Gotham: The Court of Owls broke Captain Barnes out of Arkham Asylum and Dr. Hugo Strange used his blood to make Tetch virus airborne. Kathryn tested Jim by having him watch the gas be released on a small group of innocents. With some help from Oswald and Firefly, Jim took down a Talon and saved the day. The Court later captured Oswald and caged him in a cell next to Ed. Lee continued pursuing her vendetta against Jim, and ended up resigning from GCPD. The Shaman taught Bruce to channel his pain and let go of his rage. Ivy found Selina in a coma and turned her hospital room into a greenhouse. The plants woke Selina up, and she was off to Wayne Manor. Last Minute Reveal: Kathryn wanted Jim killed and Barnes broke through his bonds ready to perform an execution! Lucifer: Chloe and Lucifer investigated the murder of an orderly at a psych ward. One of the patients claimed to be God and Lucifer learned he might not have been lying. Chloe took a Doctor on a weird double date with Maze and Amenadiel and embarrassed herself asking for help with the case. Lucifer checked himself into the psych ward, broke out Dad, and tried pulling a parent trap with him and Charlotte. Chloe broke up the fun. Turns out the killer was a nurse. After losing his belt buckle, God remembered he wasn't God. Luci and Amenadiel figured out the buckle was a missing piece of the Flaming Sword of Eden that offered divine enlightenment. Charlotte drowned her sorrows in Dave. Last Minute Reveal: Lucifer showed the guy who wasn't his Dad to a taxi and became determined to return to heaven and punish his real father! Supergirl: Penultimate Episode - Rhea planned to enslave the Earth, proclaim it New Daxam, and force Mon-El and Lena to get hitched. After an Air Force One attack, President Marsden revealed herself to be an alien refugee and ordered Alex to break into the DEO and destroy Rhea's ship with a positron cannon. Cat Grant returned, reminded us why she is the most dynamic character on the show, inspired Kara to go after Rhea, and with help from Winn, inspired all of National City to fight back against the Daxamites. Lillian Luthor and Cyborg Superman helped Kara rescue Lena and Mon-El but pulled a double-cross. When Alex learned Kara was still aboard Rhea's ship, she hesitated and the positron cannon was destroyed. Last Minute Reveal: Rhea stepped aside and let Kara get punched out… by Superman! The Flash: Penultimate Episode - Barry traveled into the past and brought back Captain Cold to help him break into ARGUS, neutralize King Shark, and take the Dominators' Crystal. The mission was a success (sort of), and Captain Cold returned to the past, advising Barry not to play by Savitar's rules. Tracey continued her romance with HR. Joe and Wally tried hiding with Iris on Earth 2, but Savitar tricked HR into revealing their location. Savitar crippled Wally and snatched Iris. Cisco got vibes of Killer Frost and finally met her in the forest for a final showdown. Barry confronted Savitar on Infantino Street and tried using the Speed Force bazooka but it did not work, and Savitar drew his blade to kill Iris. Last Minute Reveal: As Barry ran, we saw a video message from Iris to Barry reciting her wedding vows. Barry failed to save Iris and held her body in his arms! iZOMBIE: Liv went “Red” and nearly choked out Blaine but believed he didn't steal the cure. Liv rolled up preschool teacher brains with PB&J and became extremely friendly and encouraging. Turns out the teacher was banging three of his students' moms and was killed by one of their hubbies. Blaine was feeling down until Don stole his brain business and left him, shot in the gut. One of Peyton's cases was blown up by attorney Harry Thorne and the next day the defendant hung himself. Peyton asked Ravi to blue-soak the brain for answers. Major and Justin discovered the Scratching Post. Justin went on a sort-of-date with Liv. Major and Justin tracked down Harley Johns and confronted him on a dark road at night. Last Minute Reveal: Harley ran over Justin, who went “Red”, chased down Harley and jumped on the hood of his car, before getting thrown. Harley took a video of Justin's attack and now has proof Zombies exist! ARROW: Penultimate Episode – 5 years ago, Kovar injected Oliver with a serum that caused him to feel extreme pain and hallucinate his past failures. A vision of Laurel convinced him not to kill himself. In the present, the team threw Ollie a surprise birthday party. Then one-by-one Adrian Chase had each teammate kidnapped by Talia al-Ghul's army, including Evelyn and Black Siren. Turns out Wild Dog didn't abandon his daughter after all. Quentin met Black Siren and it took time for him to realize she wasn't Laurel. Malcolm Merlyn showed up to help. Oliver learned that his son, William, had also been snatched, tried stopping Chase, but ultimately had to let him escape. Nyssa al-Ghul joined Oliver's cause. Oliver tracked Chase to his old island and set out to rescue his friends. Last Minute Reveal: Oliver entered the ARGUS submarine prison and asked Deathstroke for help!
Team Arrow is going "Missing"! At a party celebrating their success and Oliver's birthday, Rene and Dinah are nowhere to be found. Oliver discovers that Adrian Chase has his son William, too. The rest of the team is abducted by Black Siren, Evelyn, and Talia al Ghul. The only way for Oliver to keep them all safe is to allow Chase to escape. But Oliver enlists some help of his own. Malcolm shows up to help, along with Nyssa al Ghul. And once they have tracked the bad guys to Lian Yu, we bring Slade Wilson into the mix; setting up what is sure to be an epic showdown. Jay and Josh put the birthday cake back in the fridge until all of this can get resolved on this week's episode of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast. Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!
Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday May 13th, 2017. As submitted by Edward O'Hare, nickname To Be Determined. 6 new episodes, only 7 and a half minutes! Almost all of our shows are in the home stretch now. Big reveals were dropped and storylines began to converge. Gotham: The Court of Owls covered up Uncle Frank's suicide and Kathryn asked Jim to prove his loyalty. Lee became suspicious of Jim after examining Frank's body. Babs told Ed she learned of a secret group running Gotham and Ed kidnapped the Mayor to try and find out. With some help from Tabitha, Jim convinced Ed to let the Mayor go and delivered Ed to the Court. Oswald and Ivy recruited Mr. Freeze and Firefly to join Pengy's crusade. Evil Bruce was having nosebleeds and Kathryn admitted to him that he's dying. Evil Bruce then tracked down Selina and told her the truth. Selina told him he could never be a hero like real Bruce, was thrown through a window and surrounded by street cats. Last Minute Reveal: Kathryn introduced Jim to the Court and he put on an owl mask as their newest member! Lucifer: Chloe and Lucifer investigated the murder of a private school admissions officer. Luci took Trixie along for recon and almost got her enrolled at the school. Chloe was happy Trixie opened up about her fears. Maze and Chloe crashed a parents gathering at the school and learned the murderer was a parent who slept with the gym teacher (I mean health and wellness mentor). Charlotte kept trying to scare and anger Lucifer into lighting the Flaming Sword of Eden. Lucifer spent the episode trying to learn to control his emotions and had a breakthrough when Dr. Laura got him to channel his pain. Unfortunately he was only able to light the sword for a brief moment. Charlotte was devastated but Amenadiel believed Luci just needs time. Last Minute Reveal: Charlotte stepped into the elevator, removed a bandage from her wrist and glowing light shot out of her wound! She is dying! Supergirl: James was feeling guilty that the people he saved feared the Guardian. A shift in the atmosphere caused an alien woman's telekinetic powers to go out of control. The woman went into hiding but James found her son, Marcus, and bonded with him by talking about losing his dad and dealing with bullies. Marcus brought James and Winn to his mom and dozens of other aliens affected by the shift. With encouragement from James, Marcus was able to help everyone get control of their powers. The atmospheric shift was tracked to the trans-matter portal that Lena was building for Rhea. Kara, J'onn, and Mon-El confronted Rhea but got their asses kicked. The portal opened and a fleet of Daxamite ships came pouring in. Last Minute Reveal: Rhea teleported away with Mon-El and Lena as the skies of National City were swarmed by Daxamite ships! The Flash: Turns out Savitar is a time remnant of Barry, who was abandoned by team Flash and committed himself to destroying Barry's life. To handicap Savitar, Barry let Cisco and Julian try to disable his short-term memory. Instead they accidentally wiped his entire memory. Barry screwed up court testimony, letting Heat Monger get released, but made Iris happy to see him so care-free and unburdened. When Savitar lost his memory too, Caitlin ran over to STAR Labs and helped fix Barry's brain. After Iris helped jumpstart his memory, Barry stopped Heat Monger from burning down an office building. The team begged Caitlin to stay, but she preferred the Killer Frost life. Meanwhile, Tracey continued her research and she and HR fell for each other. Last Minute Reveal: Tracey finished building the Speed Force bazooka, but the only energy source strong enough to power it is the Dominators' mind-control crystal, which is being protected by King Shark! iZombie: Liv ate the brain of a hot mess who was offed by her neat freak roommate. After taking the cure, Major reveled in tasting food again, but slowly started to lose his memories, and got on a bus to Walla Walla to visit family. A rich guy offered Don a million bucks for a zombie cure. Don asked Ravi but got a no. Blaine and Peyton started living the happy couple's life, but when Blaine learned that Major took the cure, he admitted that his amnesia only lasted a few days and he has been lying for months. Ravi's cure works! Major regained his memories the moment he saw his mom. Liv was ecstatic but Ravi's office was ransacked and the cure was stolen. Last Minute Reveal: Major had to admit to Liv that he gave away the emergency dose of the cure Ravi gave him! Arrow: Five years ago, Anatoly and Oliver arrived back on the island and planned Ollie's rescue and return home. Their plans were foiled by Kovar. In the present, a dead body encased in cement was delivered to Oliver's office. DNA and security video proved the body was a councilman that Oliver's father murdered 15 years ago. Thea returned to Star City. She and Oliver tried coming to terms with their father's legacy. Chase hired Derek Sampson to steal ingredients for a bio-weapon. The team took down Sampson and disarmed the weapon. Oliver dropped a bombshell about Chase's father and convinced him to surrender himself. Wild Dog got a hearing for custody of Zoe but, despite Quentin's begging, Rene got cold feet and did not show up. Last Minute Reveal: As Oliver gave a press conference about his father's culpability, Adrian Chase watched from his prison cell and smiled. What's up his sleeve?!
You should "Honor Thy Fathers" by fulfilling their wishes. Oliver thought he'd been doing that. But then realized that maybe his father had been a killer, after Adrian Chase gives him some security footage plus the body of a man that Robert had killed. Adrian thought he'd been honoring his father by getting revenge for his death and setting forth a sinister plan that his father had set into motion 5 years before. But sometimes you have to leave the past behind you to move forward. And when Oliver does just that, he's able to catch Chase once and for all. (except, maybe not for all) Jay and Josh try to find someone who will pay for their sins because they're too cheap to pay for them themselves on this week's episode of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast. Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!
Oliver faces the forced release of criminals prosecuted by Adrian Chase, while a crate is delivered to Oliver's office containing a corpse in concrete.

Amell talked about how Prometheus has been a great villain for Green Arrow and his allies, calling Segarra “almost scary good.” When Leslie noted just how savage Chase has been revealed to be, Amell only offered this tease for the remaining episodes:“Just you wait.” Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/04/30/arrow-stephen-amell-says-prometheus-josh-segarra-scary-good-vill/ Stephen: Spoiler Room: Scoop on Supernatural, Handmaid's Tale, OUAT, and more (Date: 28 April 2017) Anything on the Arrow finale? — We know Oliver's going to be heading back to the island — after all, that's where Slade has been imprisoned, but he definitely won't be alone. “One of the things that will surprise us is why he goes and the amount of people who will be there,” Stephen Amell says. “This whole year has been built around Oliver returning on a team, but what happens when Oliver's team isn't there for him and he still needs a team?” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/04/28/spoiler-room-supernatural-handmaids-tale-once-upon-time/ Dark Phoenix Could Be Searching for a Younger Version of an X-Men Mainstay (Morning Spoilers) (Date: 01 May 2017) Arrow - John Barrowman has revealed he will not be a part of the Arrowverse next season. Told to audience at Planet Comic Con.

We are bringing back people we've had all season. We have Calista Flockhart coming back. In the last two episodes, we have Lynda Carter returning as the President, Sharon Leal is coming back as M'gann. Obviously, there's Tyler as Superman. These are some of the biggest episodes we've ever done. We're so proud of Teri Hatcher, and so amazed she's on our show and killing it as Rhea. There is a feature film quality finale, with huge guest stars, stunts and visual effects. We will get a glimpse of the Season 3 villain in the finale, which we're also excited about.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/interview-supergirl-andrew-kreisberg-superman-general-zod/ The Flash: Savitar's identity revealed! (Date: 02 May 2017) Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells EW, “What's really cool for anyone who thought that there wasn't a plan, or we didn't know, or we were making this up as we go, this was always where we were heading,” Kreisberg says. “The idea that the darkest villain we could come up with was actually a very damaged version of our hero was interesting and fresh to us. We're not only competing with all the stuff that we've done on Flash, but we're always competing with everything we've done on all the other shows. So to have our lead actor be both the hero and the villain isn't something we've done before, so that was exciting for us as storytellers.” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/05/02/flash-savitar-identity-barry-allen/ ARROW CAST & CREW INTERVIEWS Harkavy Sings About Her Arrow Future, As Black Canary or Otherwise (Date: 03 May 2017) As “Arrow” returns to The CW for the final six episodes of its fifth season, the actress joined CBR for a look inside her tour of duty on Team Arrow.

This is The DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday May 6th, 2017, as submitted by Edward O'Hare, nickname To Be Determined. Gotham: Bruce found himself in a mountain prison, was hypnotized by a mysterious figure, and told he could become a symbol that can protect Gotham. Oswald became fed up with Ivy and called for his henchman Gabe, who ended up double crossing Penguin. After Oswald killed Gabe and his lackeys, Ivy suggested the army of freaks on Indian Hill might be able to help Oswald take on Ed. Jim's Uncle Frank warned him about a weapon the Court of Owls was shipping in to destroy Gotham. Babs raided the docks for Jim and learned that a crate from Indian Hill had already arrived. Jim learned from Carmine that Frank ordered the hit on Jim's father. When confronted, Frank urged Jim to join the Court of Owls and killed himself. Last Minute Reveal: Jim got a call from Kathryn, who sent a limo for him to meet with the Court! If you want to hear me talk more about this week's "Gotham", check out the latest episode of the "Gotham Lights" podcast. Lucifer: After falling off the grid and worrying everybody, Lucifer showed up with a new wife, Candy, who he married in Vegas. Chloe was torn, refusing to work with Luci but Luci wouldn't give up. Chloe and Dan were investigating the death of an up-and-coming rock singer. After going undercover with Luci to a divorce mediator, Chloe and the gang figured out the drummer did it. Chloe eventually forgave Luci and made up with him. Amenadiel figured out Luci ran off to protect Chloe from the truth about her conception. Charlotte grappled with Amenadiel about Luci's motivations. Luci made up with Charlotte and she revealed plans to use the Flaming Sword of Eden to return to Heaven. Last Minute Reveal: Lucifer said goodbye to Candy. Turns out she was just an actress he hired to fool Chloe! Supergirl: Maggie and Kara had a little spat at the dinner table when Maggie pointed out that some criminals may get off because of Supergirl's indelicate handling. Alex was kidnapped by one of her childhood friends who knew Kara's secret. The culprit, Rick Malverne, demanded that his father be released from prison. Kara and Maggie worked together and were able to track down Alex and save her from drowning in her cell. Rhea posed as a scientist and asked Lena Luthor to help her build a trans-matter portal. Lena figured out Rhea was an alien and told her to kick rocks and Rhea tried to appeal to Lena with stories of her broken family and saving the world. Last Minute Reveal: Lena made a brunch date with Kara and agreed to start working with Rhea! The Flash: Barry and the team tracked down physicist Tracey Brand and rescued her from Killer Frost. Tracey felt overwhelmed when she learned all her theories about the speed force are true, but HR calmed her down and became smitten with her. Julian bugged Cisco for not fighting Cailtin and Cisco admitted he was afraid he might kill Caitlin. Caitlin kidnapped Cecile, who had just told Joe “I love you.” When team Flash went in for the rescue, Caitlin had already learned their plan from Savitar. Cisco finally went full Vibe, knocked Caitlin out, and took a blood sample before Savitar scooped her up and ran off. Joe decided to tell Cecile all about Barry being the Flash, and everyone thought that was a swell idea. Last Minute Reveal: Barry had a lightbulb moment and confronted Savitar, who revealed himself to be a future version of Barry! iZombie: Liv country-fried the brain of a dominatrix and had HD visions of all her clients, including sleazy lawyer Brandt Stone and sleazier newsman Johnny Frost. Clive caught the perp trying to blackmail Frost. Liv played dom and got a confession. Don opened the Scratching Post and got high on Utopium with a new friend. Liv told Fillmore Graves about Harley Johns, who interviewed him, bugged his car, and confirmed he is building an army to fight Zombies. Major went on his first mission and was stabbed 35 times saving civilians from terrorists. Then Major got sick and collapsed. Justin brought him to Ravi and Liv, who realized they had to let Major's wounds heal before they could give him the cure and destroy his memories. Last Minute Reveal: After one last night with Liv, Major was ready for Ravi to give him the cure! Arrow: Before the start of this season, Ollie and Felicity had a one night stand, but Felicity told Ollie she wasn't ready to get back together because of his trust issues. In the present, an EMP blast threw Arrow HQ into lockdown and trapped Oliver and Felicity, who couldn't walk because her spinal implant was fried. The rest of the team worked to free them from the outside and accepted help from Lyla, even though she and Diggle were still fighting. A methane leak caused Ollie and Felicity to go further underground. Thanks to some ARGUS souped-up T-spheres and a dramatic rope-climbing rescue from Diggle, Ollie and Felicity reached safety. Lyla and Diggle kissed and made up and Felicity told Ollie she understood why he kept secrets from her. Last Minute Reveal: Oliver's son William got off the school bus and was greeted by Adrian Chase!
What lies "Underneath"? Currently, it's Oliver and Felicity after being trapped in the Arrow cave by an EMP explosion that Adrian Chase set up. But while they ponder how to escape their predicament before being blown to tiny, heroic bits, they have time to dig underneath their personal feelings. You don't have to be trapped underground, with no hope of escape to deal with issues. Lyla and Diggle work on some things too. Because being in a marriage with the head of a covert and morally questionable government organization is hard!

(Date: 24 April 2017) PRE-FINALE: While Team Arrow, A.R.G.U.S. and the SCPD launch a manhunt for Adrian Chase, Helix offers Felicity a solution to that problem — in trade for something big and illegal. On the heels of that, things get intense when Oliver and Felicity are trapped in the bunker together, while Lyla and Diggle deal with marital issues. Oliver also will deal with the forced release of violent criminals prosecuted by Chase as well as the delivery of a mysterious corpse encased in concrete. SEASON FINALE (MAY 24): Chase keeps 10 steps ahead of Team Arrow, forcing Oliver to face his violent past and answer the question once and for all: Is he a killer, or a hero? To answer that, Oliver will be forced to let go of the fate his father burdened him with and aim for a new legacy. And as Oliver's five years' worth of flashbacks come to an end, you will see how he planned his escape from Lian Yu — while in the present, Oliver bids said island a final farewell.

"Chase has been trying to prove to the world and to Oliver that he's not a hero, he's a killer, and he's going to pull out one final, big whamo at the end that's going to leave Oliver reeling," EP Wendy Mericle says of the action-packed hour, which she promises will be very explosive. "We might lose some people." Link:http://ew.com/tv/season-finales-2017-spoilers/arrow/ Spoiler Room: Scoop on Scandal, Arrow, S.H.I.E.L.D., and more (Date: xx month year) Anything Arrow? — The finale is going to bring the show full circle to what we saw in the pilot — and more! Here's what EP Wendy Mericle tells me: “We've managed to hopefully stick the landing on it in a cool way that allows us to see both some of the moments right before we first met Oliver in the pilot, where he launched that flaming arrow and it lit up that signal fire, and also maybe a little bit after as well, some of the more emotional moments that we never got to see in the pilot.” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/04/21/spoiler-room-scandal-arrow-agents-shield/ Is Arrow Planning A The Walking Dead-Style Season Finale Cliffhanger? It Sounds Like It (Date: 24 April 2017) During an interview with ComicBook.com earlier today, Arrow executive producer Wendy Mericle referred to the upcoming season finale as a cliffhanger, and indicated that fans might not know who lives and who dies until season six. "We're going to have a big bang of an ending, and we're not going to know really the outcome until the end of season 6," Mericle told ComicBook.com. "We don't often do cliffhangers in the way that we're doing this season, and we're excited about this ending." Mericle said of the flashbacks that have served as a kind of backup story in the show's first five seasons, “Moving forward into season 6, we're not calling it a reboot, because really the show is called Arrow and it's still about Oliver and his team, and that's not changing, but we don't have the flashbacks. What that's going to allow us to do is keep that device when we want it, but we don't have to keep pushing the five year storyline down the road. It gives us a lot more real estate to play around with, a lot more space to hopefully bring in some cool villains and to tell new character stories, and we have a lot of new characters on the show whose backstories we haven't really had the chance to experience."

Upon returning to the present, Barry & Co. meet a scientist (House‘s Anne Dudek) who may be the key to stopping Savitar, but they must — literally, and with great difficulty — fight to keep Killer Frost from getting to her first. Afterward, Caitlin's icy alter ego makes an interesting proposal. SEASON FINALE (MAY 23): After discovering Savitar's true identity, Team Flash prepares for a final, epic battle with the God of Speed… while struggling with a major setback. Expect a season-ending cliffhanger that will leave viewers — and the heroes — questioning how they will move forward in Season 4.

Meanwhile, Kara and Maggie will grow closer as they team up to rescue Alex from a life-threatening situation, and James will find a new purpose as Guardian becomes National City's only hope against a string of deadly attacks. SEASON FINALE (MAY 22): In addition to meeting the infamous General Zod, viewers should keep an eye out for some returning favorites as the season comes to a climax. “With the return of Superman and Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart first resurfaces on May 15), we are poised for our biggest most exciting episode of the season,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg says. “Big fights, big guest stars, big emotion — it's going to be amazing.” Link:https://tvline.com/gallery/may-sweeps-spoilers-2017-finale-episodes-photos/#!23/distant-sun-4/ Supergirl Casts Man of Steel and Smallville Alum Mark Gibbon as General Zod (Date: 21 April 2017) Mark Gibbon, a Canadian character actor who played one of the oil rig workers rescued by Superman in Man of Steel, will next take on the role of General Zod in Supergirl. Gibbon will be a recognizable face to fans of geek entertainment, with roles on TV and in film including Smallville, Arrow, and The X-Files. He also has a voice-acting resume that includes playing the Incredible Hulk, The Thing, and Nick Fury in various Marvel animated projects.

With a nod to that mess, “Barry looks pretty similar — he is in shambles,” Gustin said. “He does not look good.” Devastated by losing the love of his life, this Barry is “totally alone” until his past self arrives, setting the stage for double the Gustin. “It's a lot of scenes with Barry and Barry, and they're pretty emotional scenes from both sides,” says the actor. All told, “They were some of the more challenging scenes I've done — if not just this year, in the whole series, because I'm my own scene partner.” Link:http://tvline.com/2017/04/20/the-flash-season-3-episode-19-preview-future-barry/ The Flash's Danielle Panabaker Breaks Down Killer Frost's Chilling New Look (Date: 26 April 2017) In her previous, Earth-Two incarnation, Killer Frost was clad in leather pants and a jacket, “so this is pretty different with the skirts and stuff,” Danielle Panabaker shared during our visit to the CW hit's set, where the warm actress was almost (almost) jarring to lay eyes on, wearing her full costume (including a tiny extra flourish not spied in either of these exclusive photos).

With Adrian Chase (Josh Segarra) still on the loose, mysterious hacker organization Helix offers Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) a way to track him down in exchange for her services involving something illegal. Needless to say, Oliver (Stephen Amell) & Co. won't be happy. But Ollie and Felicity will be forced to face their divide head on next week when the duo gets trapped in the bunker together. Will this actually bring them closer together? EW turned to executive producer Wendy Mericle to get the scoop. Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/04/25/arrow-season-5-finale-spoilers/ Michelle ARROW EP TEASES DEATHSTROKE'S RETURN, AL GHUL SIBLING RIVALRY & MORE (Date: 26 April 2017) As “Arrow” hurtles towards its Season 5 finale, Oliver Queen and his team are in more trouble than ever. They may have dealt Prometheus a major blow, but he's still at large. Meanwhile, Felicity is knee-deep with the mysterious hacker group Helix, which has some dubious intentions. Even as Team Arrow deals with these threats on two fronts, the return of Katie Cassidy's Black Siren looms in the distance, threatening to kick off with an emotional gut punch. Nevertheless, executive producer Wendy Mericle is looking forward to “Arrow's” future with a lot of hope. Speaking with CBR, Mericle addressed all of the threats facing Team Arrow. She also explained how Season 1 characters like Deathstroke and Yao Fei will return, delved into Felicity's relationship with Oliver, teased Malcolm Merlyn and Artemis' important roles in the Season 5 finale, discussed how the show will fill the gap left by the flashbacks in Season 6 and more.

In the super hero business, you've gotta be careful of "Dangerous Liaisons". ARGUS is helping Team Arrow to hunt down Adrian Chase. But he's a wily one, and they have been unsuccessful so far. But their investigation turns toward HELIX when an ARGUS agent that is suspected to be working with Chase is killed. Now Felicity and HELIX are trying to free a prisoner they need, to help with the hunt for Prometheus. Lyla has been holding this guy illegally. But if Oliver Queen is questioning the moral justifications of your actions, you might want to decide if you've gone too far. Jay and Josh try to play a vintage copy of Maximum Force, but it seems to be out of order on this week's episode of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast.

The DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday April 1st 2017, featuring recaps for Supergirl, The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow, Powerless, as submitted by Edward O'Hare (nickname To Be Determined): Supergirl: Someone put a contract out on Supergirl and alien bounty hunters started attacking Kara. Turns out Mon-El's mom, Rhea, put out the bounty. After Rhea attacked Kara with a Kryptonite sword, Mon-El agreed to rejoin the fam in exchange for Kara's safety. J'onn warned Kara and the gang not to go after Mon-El because President Marsdin said so. The team said “screw that”, used a Stargate (I mean… teleportal gate thingy) Winn souped up to attempt a rescue mission, and Mon-El's dad, Lar Gand, realized Earth makes Mon-El happy and let him go. Alex and Maggie bumped into one of Maggie's ex-girlfriends and Alex spent the whole episode forcing Maggie to re-open old relationship wounds. By the by, President Marsdin is actually an alien. Last Minute Reveal: Rhea stabbed Lar Gand in the heart and she is not done with planet Earth! The Flash: Abra Kadabra was running around Central City stealing from tech companies. Gypsy came hungry to take down Magic Boy for killing her former partner. After being captured, Abra Kadabra offered info on how to defeat Savitar in exchange for freedom. Caitlin took some shrapnel to the stomach, and rather than using her Frost powers to heal, she stayed awake and talked Julian through surgery removing the shrapnel. Barry decided to let Gypsy take Ab Kabs away instead of getting the dish on Savitar. Cisco and Gypsy are not so hot an item anymore. HR was away with a new girlfriend all episode. Barry thinks he can learn how to beat Savitar by running to the future. Last Minute Reveal: Caitlin went into cardiac arrest and died! Julian removed her anti-meta necklace and she woke up, but now she's gone full Killer Frost! DC's Legends of Tomorrow: It's Doomworld! The Legion of Doom controlled the world and all the Legends were scattered around with their minds wiped, working crummy jobs. Heat Wave was bored of constantly winning, saved Steel from getting killed for figuring out the truth, and used a multiplexer gun the Atom invented to restore all the Legends memories except for Dr. Stein. The Reverse Flash made Dr. Stein create a generator that could destroy the Spear of Destiny. The Legends and the other LoD members all tried to stop Reverse Flash from destroying the Spear but ultimately failed. The Legends now want to try a do-over in World War I. Rip was drunk, baking cakes on the Waverider until Gideon helped him figure out a way to send a distress signal. Last Minute Reveal: The Waverider is a small model ship on Reverse Flash's desk in STAR Labs! Arrow: Five years ago, Anatoli convinced Oliver to pull a heist for pharmaceuticals to help a hospital before he left Russia for good. In the present, Ollie packed up HQ, told the team to get out, and hired Anatoli and the Bratva to kill Adrian Chase. Diggle wasn't having any of it, kept the team together, and slowly wore down Oliver until he decided to take up the good fight again. Ollie led the team on a mission to stop the Bratva from stealing drugs and Anatoli felt betrayed. Felicity continued working with Helix, and with a huge assist from Mister Terrific, she was able to decrypt video proof Adrian Chase is Prometheus. Last Minute Reveal: Chase killed the Feds protecting him, stole their car and drove right past the SCPD squad cars coming to arrest him! Powerless: Crimson Fox announced that she was leaving Charm City and taking her talents to Metropolis (adjacent). Emily signed herself and Jackie up for a self-defense class. Jackie blew off the class because she was driving for Uber to get some extra cash to pay for her daughter's school trip, which Emily found out was bogus when she tried to give money to the teacher. Jackie was furious, but after Jack O'Lantern destroyed her car, she admitted that she's taking MBA classes and would still be Emily's friend as long as she turns the volume down on her excitement. Van interrogated everyone trying to figure out who used his private bathroom and left a magazine behind. Turns out no one used the bathroom. Jackie used the magazine to swat a bee that caused Van to squeal and hide. Last Minute Reveal: There was hours of footage showing everyone at the office using Van's bathroom but Peter the janitor deleted it all because Van kept calling him Pedro!

Undress the mannequins, because Team Arrow is "Disbanded". After being tortured by Adrian Chase, Oliver is broken. He can't continue fighting and won't let anyone else do it for him either. But he can't just let Chase get away with all that he has done, so he asks Anatoly to have the Bratva kill him. That will cost a heavy, ethical price though and Diggle isn't willing to let Oliver pay it. With the help of Helix, Felicity has what she needs to reveal Chase as Prometheus to the world. So now Chase is on the loose and out for vengeance. Jay and Josh try to figure themselves out, in order to be happy, on this week's episode of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast. Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!

It's time to don your "Kapiushon" because it helps you hide the monster growing inside of you. Oliver is forced to look back on his origins of becoming The Hood as Adrian Chase puts him through a series of tortures and mental anguish to get him to reveal his deepest secret. Most of this reflection involves Oliver's time with the Bratva in Russia as he helped his friend Anatoly become the new Pakhan. They also discovered that Konstantine Kovar has a plot to take over the Russian government. After all this inner reflection (and a little torture) Oliver finally admits to himself (and Chase) an ugly truth. Jay and Josh must confess, because nobody expects the Prometheus Inquisition on this week's episode of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast. Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!

The woman who taught you this will be the source of your pain (nice foreshadowing) After “Bratva,” no tension because we know what happens Ollie: Somehow finds Talia; why he didn't figure out she was an al Ghul when he realized the door to her monetary said “demon” probably means he's not thinking clearly Business with Talia was finished 5 years ago; surprised at who she really is; upset she's helping Prometheus because he killed her father Prometheus says he's “impotent” because Ollie can't stop him Throws tantrum in Arrowcave; does the whole “is having people in my life a weakness?” bit Prometheus, after listing who has died because of Ollie, tells him that he is likely one more loss away from being completely broken Like a good Skyrim adventurer, takes an arrow to the knee; shot by Talia Taken prisoner by Prometheus and Talia - “make sure he suffers” Finally realizes having friends is a strength Mentions son Diggle Gives Ollie a supportive speech - again - “Caring about people makes you human” Brings Prometheus's wife to building Thea Walkabout Felicity Helix has her hack a US drone - quid pro quo Gets Curtis to help her with the hack Ollie tells her that keeping secrets isn't a good thing to do Goes back to Helix to find Ollie, tells them she'll do anything Why didn't she activate Ollie's tracker in his suit?

Rhodes was introduced as Sampson back in Season 5's third episode, "A Matter of Trust." Rhodes will be back in episode 521, which will debut near the end of the season in late April or early May.

So yes, she is Talia al Ghul, but Oliver obviously doesn't know that.” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/03/10/spoiler-room-this-is-us-legends-tomorrow-vampire-diaries/ Arrow's Colton Haynes Got Engaged, With Help From Cher (Date: 12 March 2017) Former Arrow and Teen Wolf star, Colton Haynes, and Jeff Leatham, who manages the floral designs at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, got engaged.

"I SAID YES!!!," Haynes wrote on Instragram, including an image of the two kissing while celebratory fireworks exploded behind them.Leatham used his celebrity connections to get Cher — the 70-year-old singer, actress, and gay icon — to send a special message to his boyfriend. GENERAL DC TV NEWS Who Can Save Iris on 'The Flash'? Candice Patton Has the BEST Answer (Date: 15 March 2017) Ever since Barry (Grant Gustin) slipped through time and saw god of speed Savitar slaughtering his true love, Iris (Candice Patton), The Flash has been all about changing the future to save her life. Honestly, it's starting to look a little bleak...especially since the producers haven't even clued Patton into what lies ahead for her character! "No, they didn't tell me," she confesses with a laugh. "I have no idea and it's a little alarming. I think I know, but you never really know. I am just in the dark as the audience so it will be really interesting to see if Team Flash can pull it off. I'm hoping they can, because I need a job."

He's popped up here and there over the course of the last season in hallucinations or flashbacks, but next week's episode will see him finally return in earnest. As the latest trailer indicates, it is a suitably tragic moment for his former comrades, because he bemusedly looks ready for a deadly fight.

The new photos also provide a better look at many of the supporting characters inside the dream, including Iris West (Candice Patton), Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) and Arrow and Legends star Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman).

Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/03/15/arrow-star-talks-about-talia-al-ghuls-ulterior-motives/ Chris INTERVIEW: ARROW'S PROMETHEUS ON HIS VENDETTA AGAINST OLIVER QUEEN (Date: 15 March 2017) “Arrow” recently revealed the identity of this season's major villain, Prometheus, to be none other than Adrian Chase, aka Star City's district attorney. Throughout the season, Prometheus/Chase's attacks kept intensifying and becoming more and more personal. In his determination to destroy Oliver, Prometheus went so far as to kidnap Green Arrow's girlfriend, Susan, determined to make Oliver suffer as much as he has. Ahead of the next stage of Prometheus' master plan, CBR spoke with actor Josh Segarra about what he feels makes his bad guy tick, and his plans for Oliver Queen and Team Arrow. Link:http://www.cbr.com/interview-arrow-prometheus-josh-segarra/ Is Arrow's Talia Al Ghul Good Or Evil? Here's What The Actress Says (Date: 14 March 2017) Arrow got a whole lot more badass in the flashbacks in Season 5 thanks to the introduction of none other than Talia al Ghul, who is best known as the daughter of Ra's al Ghul in DC Comics. Arrow's version of Talia stands on her own, however, and she doesn't seem beholden to her father in the slightest. Lexa Doig plays Talia in the flashbacks, and she has brought layers of ambiguity to the character that has led many viewers to wonder if Talia is good or evil deep down. Doig recently spoke to CinemaBlend about her role on Arrow. Link:http://www.cinemablend.com/television/1635520/is-arrows-talia-al-ghul-good-or-evil-heres-what-the-actress-saysARROW EP WENDY MERICLE ADDRESSES PROMETHEUS' IDENTITY & MOTIVATIONS (Date: 01 March 2017) In the wake of this stunning reveal, executive producer Wendy Mericle spoke to CBR and other reporters about what's in store for Team Arrow now that Prometheus' identity is out in the open. She addressed why she and the other showrunners made Chase Prometheus instead of Vigilante, why those chose now to make this reveal, what drives Chase to torture Oliver Queen and more. Why make Chase Prometheus instead of Vigilante? “I think one of the reasons we did that was because everyone would be thinking, “Of course he's Vigilante!” Adrian Chase is Vigilante in the comic books, as you pointed out, and we thought it would be a really fun sort of twist to do what we've always done on the show, which is to take the comic book mythology and turn it on its head and see what kind of story we could mine from a surprise like that. It was also just something different for this season. We wanted to change up how we introduced the big bad and change up when we did it and how we did it. Hopefully, we succeeded in that this year.” She also said that Prometheus is going to mess with Lance as well.

The statue is based on actor Stephen Amell as he appears currently on the CW super hero drama. You can have the statue posed with just the bow at Oliver Queen's side or switch out the arms so that Oliver is holding his bow with an arrow in front of him in a more action like pose.

Has Prometheus finally achieved a "Checkmate" against Green Arrow? Even now that Oliver knows his nemesis is Adrian Chase, he can't make a final move until he rescues Susan Williams. But that seems to be hard when the bad guy is always 10 steps ahead. Luckily, Felicity is using her new friends at Helix to discover just what she needs to rescue her. It's all a big trap, of course, and Prometheus is there, waiting for them. Oliver came prepared though, and has brought Chase's wife into the mix as leverage. A good chess player is never without options though. And Chase gets the final drop on Oliver, capturing him and leaving the team helpless to stop him again. Jay and Josh are just pawns in the game of life on this week's episode of Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast. Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!
SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #340 - Arrow 5x16 - Checkmate | Recap & ReviewThe word about Adrian Chase is out and he is toying with Oliver and the team. Felicity gets Helix to help track down Susan but finds her relationship with the group is now on a quid pro quo basis. The team manages to rescue Susan but Oliver is blindsided by Talia and abducted by her and Prometheus, forcing Felicity to agree to more hacking favors for Helix. Back in Russia, a Hooded Oliver and Anatoly take out the Gregor contingent of Bratva before they get taken out instead.

Mike and Amanda are back for an all-new episode of Quiver: The Green Arrow Podcast to recap the CW Arrow episode, “Checkmate.” How will Team Arrow react to the news of Adrian Chase’s alter ego. Can Oliver rescue Susan before it’s too late? Does anybody even care about these flashbacks right now!?! All these questions […]
Following the reveal that Adrian Chase, the District Attorney, is Prometheus, Oliver and the team set out to find him and stop him, and hopefully in the process clear the Green Arrow’s name in public opinion. Prometheus is one step ahead, however, as he has Susan held hostage, forcing Oliver, Diggle, Felicity, and the rest of the team into moral dilemmas as they determine just how far they will go to stop Prometheus’s plan. With surprising allies on either side, this episode explores how formidable of a foe the team is facing. Read More...

He's the right age Let's hope he's doing this because he's Claybourne's son and not because Ollie took his girl that one time Explains how he got Ollie's arrows, faked the ME report, and leaked the information He's been on the inside. Did he really need Artemis? Has he kept Artemis alive? Are we to expect that he got info about Flash & co from Artemis? Even about how to break into Star Labs? Really? How does one spend four years becoming Prometheus and earn a law degree? Is he the real Adrian Chase? Did he spend all this time learning everything and take Adrian's identity so he could be the DA?

I can also tease he won't be going back alone.” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/02/24/spoiler-room-arrow-shield-blacklist/ Arrow's Stephen Amell addresses idea of Dinah-Oliver romance (Date: 28 Feb 2017) After the shocking death of Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy), some fans of the comics were disheartened by the fact that Oliver (Stephen Amell) would not end up with the Black Canary — in the comics, Oliver married Dinah Laurel Lance, the character portrayed by Cassidy on Arrow. That all changed when Juliana Harkavy was added to the cast as Dinah Drake, otherwise known in the comics as the first Black Canary. However, that doesn't necessarily mean there will be a Green Arrow-Black Canary romance, especially considering the show has never been beholden to the comics. “The idea that Oliver would end up with the Black Canary being Katie Cassidy or any new iteration thereof? To me, it could happen, it could not, but it's certainly not destined to happen or predesigned to happen,” Amell tells EW.

Teri Hatcher has already been confirmed to debut later this season in an as-yet unspecified villain role.It doesn't take much to connect those dots, and arise at the natural question: Will “Supergirl” feature an on-screen reunion between Cain and Hatcher, who starred in “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” from 1993 to 1997? “We'd love to,” “Supergirl” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said of a Cain/Hatcher scene on “Supergirl.” “There's a plan — if we can execute the plan.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/supergirl-dean-cain-teri-hatcher-lois-and-clark-reunion/ EP HOPES FOR ‘TRUE FOUR-WAY' ARROWVERSE CROSSOVER (Date: 24 Feb 2017) For the next full-scale Arrowverse crossover — which is tradition holds, will likely be in the fall — the creative forces behind the show are hoping to fully involve all four series, according to Andrew Kreisberg, an executive producer on each one of the shows. With the early renewals, Kreisberg explained, the shows can take advantage of pre-planned off-days in production to accommodate the cast members who are appearing on multiple shows in a short time, something that was particularly difficult last year with “Supergirl,” since series lead Melissa Benoist appeared in both a normal episode of her show, and then as a guest on “The Flash,” ‘Arrow' and ‘Legends.' ‘Supergirl' was the show we needed to shut down the most, and it was the one we didn't have any opportunity to,” Kreisberg said. “So now that we've gotten the early pick up and we've started designing the seasons, we're building in those dark days — and actually more dark days on ‘Supergirl' than the other shows — to make it a little easier.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/andrew-kreisberg-hopes-four-way-arrowverse-crossover-supergirl-flash-arrow-legends/ ‘Black Lightning' Finds Its Lead: Cress Williams Cast As Jefferson In the CW Pilot (Date: 24 Feb 2017) Hart of Dixie alum Cress Williams is back at the CW as the title character in Black Lightning, the network's DC drama pilot from Greg Berlanti, king of the CW's DC universe, and the Being Mary Jane duo of Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil.

Williams is Anissa Pierce — passionate and quick-witted, Jefferson's twenty-something daughter balances the demands of medical school with her job teaching part-time at her father's school. In the DC comics, Anissa and Jennifer follow in their father's footsteps and become superheroes, taking on the names of Thunder and Lightning, respectively.

That's something of interesting flaw in continuity, so will it be something that Supergirl will address? According to executive producer Andrew Kriesberg: it won't be. According to Kriesberg, “the problem with that is if we do that once, we're going to open the floodgates of insanity." According to Kriesberg, it would take “a really good story” for Supergirl to get alternate versions of Barry or Oliver on the show; or conversly, an alternate version of Kara on Earth 1. In short: it would have to be an event.

The story really centers around Iris,” said Helbing. “Aside from Barry and Kara, Iris plays a huge role in the musical.” The episode will also feature songs from “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's” Rachel Bloom and the “La La Land” songwriting duo of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

In the comics, Spheer's invention mutated him into the villain known as Biomax, who had the power of mind control. It's unclear whether his character on the show will follow the same path. Kohli will appear in episode 18, titled “Ace Reporter,” which executive producer Andrew Kreisberg recently revealed will heavily feature Kara's journalism side.

As there is no Batman in the Arrowvrse, this Talia instead finds herself involved with Green arrow. This season, it's been revealed that she was the one who rescued Oliver from Ishmael Gregor and then proceeded to push him into fulfilling his destiny. Talia has trained Oliver, but she's also an al Ghul. Can she be trusted? Does the apple fall far from the psychotic family tree? Doig recently spoke with CBR about making Talia a badass, mentoring Oliver, her possible connections to Prometheus and the inevitable showdown with Nyssa. Link:http://www.cbr.com/interview-arrow-lexa-doig-talia-al-ghul/ ARROW'S PROMETHEUS SPEAKS OUT ABOUT HIS STUNNING IDENTITY REVEAL (Date: 01 March 2017) Speaking to CBR and other reporters, Segarra opened up about his role as Prometheus and how he balanced Adrian Chase's two very different identities. He also shared some stories about how and when he learned about the big twist, as well as why he studied up on Vigilante before arriving in Vancouver to start filming Season 5. “I'm telling them, ‘Oh, I'm playing this guy… I don't really know too much about him, but who knows? It'll be fun, right?' And then they announced Adrian Chase: Vigilante. And I'm like, ‘Oh my gosh, I'm playing Vigilante!' So now, I get to Vancouver, I think I'm playing this guy Vigilante. That's who everybody thought, right? So I start reading ‘Vigilante' comics and reading about Chase and reading about the history of these guys. Then I get to work and I'm talking to Marc. I'm like, ‘Marc, man, I'm really doing my research. I'm really being studious about this Vigilante guy.' And he's like, ‘What do you mean?' And I'm like, ‘Oh, dude, you announced it finally! I'm going to be a great Adrian Chase: Vigilante!' And he says, ‘That's not who you're playing.' ‘What?!' He's like, ‘Yeah, you're playing this guy.' And that's when they took me out on the city and they told me everything. So, to put it this way, me and my wife and my doggie, we moved over to Vancouver thinking one thing and it was revealed once I got here who I was actually playing. That whole journey began at that moment. I feel I'll always look back and laugh at this.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-prometheus-josh-segarra-adrian-chase-fighting-fire-with-fire-susan-williams-oliver-queen-artemis-interview/ ARROW EP WENDY MERICLE ADDRESSES PROMETHEUS' IDENTITY & MOTIVATIONS (Date: 01 March 2017) In the wake of this stunning reveal, executive producer Wendy Mericle spoke to CBR and other reporters about what's in store for Team Arrow now that Prometheus' identity is out in the open. She addressed why she and the other showrunners made Chase Prometheus instead of Vigilante, why those chose now to make this reveal, what drives Chase to torture Oliver Queen and more. Why make Chase Prometheus instead of Vigilante? “I think one of the reasons we did that was because everyone would be thinking, “Of course he's Vigilante!” Adrian Chase is Vigilante in the comic books, as you pointed out, and we thought it would be a really fun sort of twist to do what we've always done on the show, which is to take the comic book mythology and turn it on its head and see what kind of story we could mine from a surprise like that. It was also just something different for this season. We wanted to change up how we introduced the big bad and change up when we did it and how we did it. Hopefully, we succeeded in that this year.” She also said that Prometheus is going to mess with Lance as well.

That certainly appears to match the aesthetic of director Patty Jenkins' film. Also notable is Diana's weapons of choice: Although her famed Lasso of Truth is slung on her belt, she wields a sword and shield, emphasizing her role as a warrior. In addition to the Amazon Princess, there will also be Pop! figures of Steve Trevor and Queen Hippolyta.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #332 - Arrow 5x15 - Fighting Fire With Fire | Recap & ReviewMayor Queen is in danger of being impeached. The city council commences a hearing on the subject and it’s not looking good, according to Adrian. After Oliver is attacked leaving the hearing, the rest of the team takes to the streets after Vigilante. That all fails, but a fight between Vigilante and Prometheus later would seem to give us a dead Vigilante and a Prometheus that’s actually Adrian Chase. Well, Vigilante makes it somehow and ends up fighting the team in another Oliver assassination attempt, but Curtis, who has T-Spheres now, pulls it together and kinda wins for once. Meanwhile, Thea descends into blackmail and eventually resigns because she doesn’t like the direction she’s heading in. Susan’s reputation is restored, giving her another chance to maybe trust Oliver, but she might be kidnapped by Adrian anyway. A very eager Curtis rushes to meet Paul only to be handed divorce papers. And Felicity officially joins the Hacktivism gang she’s been flirting with, so HELIX is probably more powerful than ever. Back in Russian, Anatoli challenges Gregor to some Russian word that basically means who does the crew really stand behind. They have one hour before the showdown and Oliver uses it to prove that Gregor has been taking Rubles from Kovar, which sways the vote in Anatoli’s favor. The whole thing still ends in a shoot-out so, you know……

Makaro. The team has been in flux all season, with Diggle being out for certain periods of time, Artemis betraying the team, and the loss of Ragman. Curtis and Wild Dog have managed to stick around, though, and the team seems poised to finally get a new Black Canary full time. It would be unfortunate for Olliver's ragtag group to dissolve so quickly, but that definitely might be the case.

The Flash - "The Wrath Of Savitar"– While training with Barry, Wally starts to have visions of Savitar, which he hides from the team. A dangerous secret threatens Barry and Iris' happiness. Legends Of Tomorrow - "Land Of The Lost"— After capturing Rip , he forces the Waverider to crash, leaving the Legends stuck seventy million years in the past. Ray leads Amaya and Nate to recover a vital piece of the ship. In an effort to get the “good” Rip back, Rory suggests they enter Rip's mind, but what Sara and Jax discover in his subconscious is not pleasant and they must fight evil versions of themselves.

The post raves about Daxamite technology, so it looks like Smith's episode will be resolving the ongoing mystery of Mon-El and the aliens who would see him captured. The other post has Smith teaming up with none other than Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter! This season has seen Carter taking up none other than the mantle of President of the United States, and the seal on the wall behind the two of them confirms that she is returning to reprise the role.

Tolkien. Executive producer Marc Guggenheim shared a cast list for the season finale episode, titled “Aruba,” on Twitter. The cast list includes all the usual suspects, like the “Legends” team and the members of the Legion of Doom. It also includes a surprise guest star: J.R.R. Tolkien, played by Jack Turner (Freeform's “Stitchers”). Since we haven't seen a synopsis for “Aruba” just yet, we don't actually know if this is the J.R.R. Tolkien or just another person with that incredibly specific and unique name. The cast list also includes a few other surprise names. Wentworth Miller and Katie Cassidy will reprise their roles as Leonard Snart and Laurel Lance, respectively.

Smith revealed the throne room, part of the set for the upcoming “Supergirl” episode he is directing, to the world via a post on Instagram.

Come check out nineteen new photos from next week's episode. “Homecoming” - DEAN CAIN RETURNS - When Jeremiah Danvers (guest star Dean Cain) is rescued from Cadmus, Alex (Chyler Leigh) and Kara (Melissa Benoist) are thrilled to have their father back.

Poague's Accelerated Man will debut on February 28 in the episode “Attack on Central City.” A new photo from the episode reveals the comic-accurate look of Poague's Accelerated Man, who is a Speed Force Conduit and Earth-19's version of the Flash. In the comics, Earth-19 is ruled by the 21st Century's King George and has only just begun enjoying “electric technology.” As a Speed Force conduit in this strange dimension, Accelerated Man enjoys a massively increased heal rate, increased perception, the ability to phase through solid objects and, of course, super speed — basically, he's the Flash.

(Don't worry, Arrow has already been renewed for season 6.) EW hit the set of the Vancouver-based series to get Amell's take on Oliver's current predicaments as the show builds toward its big season 5 finale.

That certainly appears to match the aesthetic of director Patty Jenkins' film. Also notable is Diana's weapons of choice: Although her famed Lasso of Truth is slung on her belt, she wields a sword and shield, emphasizing her role as a warrior. In addition to the Amazon Princess, there will also be Pop! figures of Steve Trevor and Queen Hippolyta.

ARROW NEWS: Spoiler Room: Scoop on The Flash, Once Upon a Time, Supergirl, and more (Date: 10 Feb 2017) Will Oliver find out what's really going on with Felicity on Arrow soon? — Not for several episodes, but you may be surprised by his reaction. “He knows that she's into something, and he knows that she doesn't want to tell him about it, so he's dealing with that in his own way,” Stephen Amell tells me. “For Felicity, it's not something that she and Oliver discuss until they have what is actually an adult conversation about it in [a future episode].” Did you get any Flash scoop on Killer Frost? — When asked how Cisco would try to help Caitlin quell her Killer Frost tendencies, Carlos Valdes dropped a truth bomb: “Caitlin has some secrets of her own that are going to come to light and are going to change not just the dynamic of the team, but also her own feelings about her dynamic within the team,” he says. “It all comes to a head.” Make of that what you will.

So why is Vigilante trying to kill Mayor Oliver Queen? Fans will find out on March 1, when the DC antihero returns to menace city hall. Synopsis: Oliver (Stephen Amell) faces his biggest challenge yet as mayor. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) continues down her dark path with Helix.

"I'm old, so what does this mean? It means that I grew up on St. Elsewhere and Picket Fences and LA Law. I grew up in a time where it was commonplace, like literally every week, for a one-hour drama to tackle the issues of the day. Somewhere along the line we got away from that -- like, the whole industry got away from that. And now you've got like Blackish and Carmichael Show, but as far as network dramas are concerned? Really not tackling current events, current issues. So we went into season 5 with the desire to. It's the fifth season; we've hopefully earned the freedom to, in 23 episodes of television, you can have 22 episodes of candy and one episode of vegetables. We sort of felt that gun violence felt like the right topic, because of its topicality but also because of the level of gun violence that's on Arrow. We could have done an episode on abortion, but that's not really where the show lives, so gun violence sort of felt like the right thing to tackle."

Where's Thea?' Willa's [contracted for] 14 out of 23 episodes this year,” Guggenheim revealed. “She's not in all 23. That's not her contract. We've had to write around that.” Contractual matters also may prove a hurdle in bringing Katie Cassidy back for another encore as one Laurel or another, even though Cassidy (as reported over the summer) entered the season with one of those #DCTV-wide deals that theoretically would allow her to pop up on Arrow or any of its many offspring. “We have an idea for how to see [Katie] again, but we haven't made a deal with her,” Guggenheim shared. “She's not a series regular anymore, so we have to make a contract with her, and she's got to be available. We haven't had those conversations. But… we know exactly what we do want to do.

Here's What David Ramsey Says (Date: 13 Feb 2017) David Ramsey recently spoke with CinemaBlend about all things John Diggle, and he told me this about Digg's future with the Suicide Squad on Arrow: “I can say that we have all the elements. Part of what John Diggle brings to the team is his relationship with ARGUS through his wife Lyla. We're waiting to see how that plays itself out. Diggle was freed last week, and Oliver said to him 'You can go home and hug your wife and son.' So that's a real viable part of Diggle that we have always seen on camera, but it would be nice to see more because he's married to the leader of the Suicide Squad. What does that play out? How does that look? What are those conversations like? We have all the elements of it... I think we have the makings of it. ARGUS is a real viable part of our whole universe, of Legends, Flash, and Arrow. And Diggle just so happens to be married to the leader of ARGUS, so it's right there ready for the picking.” Link:http://www.cinemablend.com/television/1624570/will-arrow-bring-back-suicide-squad-characters-heres-what-david-ramsey-says Arrow EPs Tease Thea's Role Going Forward in Season 5 (Date: 15 Feb 2017) "She's headed in a direction that's very similar to where her mother was before she was killed in Season 2. We're excited about it." revealed Wendy Mericle. "I'm actually really excited about her storyline because we're taking her to a place where she's been dealing with all of these issues the same way Oliver has, with her bloodlust and with her other elements of her past. And this season's going to find her in a similar place but for very different reasons. There's gonna be a great scene coming up between Oliver and Thea that's one of my favorites on the show."

Marc Guggenheim recently revealed that not only will the villain appear in the February 22nd episode, but his past actions will start to connect. Guggenheim wants fans to keep an eye out for the conclusion of the episode, as it will particularly reveal parts of the villain's motive. "The episode ends, I think, with sort of the next key move in Prometheus' grand plan."

"And you'll start to see, actually – and this is true in next week's episode, in episode 14 – Thea's going to make a good case to Oliver, of all people, for all the things he's accomplished as mayor, and you start to see like, oh wait, in the first 13 episodes, he actually kind of did some stuff. And he's not done yet. Obviously, the season's not done yet. But we definitely went into the season with the goal of showing that Oliver is actually much better at this job than you might expect."

He constantly finds himself toe-ing the line between what's right and wrong. According to Marc Guggenheim, Oliver is going to continue that struggle throughout this season. Not only will the rest of this season see Oliver explore that struggle, but the show will also explore what that means for Arrow's entire world. "One of the things we are doing in the back half of Season 5 is really getting underneath that and what that means, not just in terms of morality but in terms of psychology -- specifically Oliver's psychology. There's things about Oliver's killing that you have yet to learn."

Snapped on the streets of New Westminster, a city just southeast of Vancouver, the images reveal rows of 1940s-era automobiles, as well as actors Jesse L. Martin, Victor Garber and John Barrowman in period attire. According to Hollywood North.Buzz, the scenes were to involve car chases with gangsters, but no singing.

(Date: 16 Feb 2017) The CW has now released a new batch of photos from "Attack on Gorilla City," including the first two images of Solovar. As you can see, Solovar — who is being voiced by Keith David (The Thing, Community) — is being depicted as a giant, white gorilla. That's a noticeable departure from his comic book counterpart, who looks like a regular gorilla but wears a fancy red cape. Created by writer John Broome and artist Carmine Infantino, Solovar made his first appearance in The Flash #106 alongside Gorilla Grodd and Pied Piper.

That's all set to change with a crossover between the Batman and Flash titles, with Tom King, Jason Fabok, Joshua Williamson, and Howard Porter all set to put the world's greatest detectives on a path to find out the significance of that blood-stained smiley face.

He also teased Dig's friendship with Dinah Drake, the new Black Canary, as well as the looming threat of General Walker and Team Arrow's visit to Russia. About his role in the team, he said, “He's a serviceman. He's a soldier. He's the guy who lays on a grenade. So that's what he immediately gets to. He gets to helping Dinah. He gets back to helping the team. He sees that Felicity is compromised, and he calls her on it immediately. Before he gets back out on the field — which he does! — we'll see him kind of getting back to service, of being a help, which is in the best possible way I could say that… but the moral help, I should say. The moral compass. And the team needs it. When he comes back, the team needs it. Dinah needs it, and Felicity particularly needs it.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-david-ramsey-spartan-black-canary-dinah-drake-general-walker-russia-felicity-bratva-prometheus-interview/ GENERAL DC TV NEWS The JSA Returns In This Synopsis For LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Season 2 Episode 12: "Camelot/3000" (Date: 03 Feb 2017) ALL FOR ONE — The Legends continue their quest to hunt down the Spear of Destiny before the pieces fall into the hands of the Legion of Doom.

The Hercules star talked to ET's Ashley Crossan at the Directors Guild of America Awards on Saturday, where he dished on what fans can expect from his role on the CW show. "I'm heading up to Vancouver, and I'll be doing a three-show arc, and Teri Hatcher's playing my wife. I'm from another planet that's an arch-rival planet of Krypton," he said. "Which is now of course destroyed."

And, no, your ears don't deceive you — that's Mark Hamill of “Star Wars” and “Batman: The Animated Series” fame providing the sweet, weedy vocals for the marshland's defender. The clip, from the show's upcoming “Zombie King” episode, shows Solomon Grundy getting ready to march on a nearby city, having raised an army of the undead. “Zombie King” airs on Cartoon Network on Saturday, February 4 at 7:30 AM. “Justice League Action” is a production of Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment starring Kevin Conroy, Rachel Kimsey and Jason J. Lewis.

Variety reports Greg Berlanti's “Black Lightning” just received an official pilot order from the network. According to the report, The CW will stagger their superhero programming throughout the year to avoid scheduling five straight nights of supehero series. “I don't think so,” Berlanti said at the time. “If we're lucky enough that that exists, that that show exists, I don't think those worlds will cross over.” However, seeing as the pilot has just shifted from Fox to The CW, it's hard to rule anything out.

The set photos depict not only Criss but also Keiynan Lonsdale as Kid Flash, David Harewood as Martian Manhunter and Carlos Valdes as Vibe. Titled “Duet,” the crossover will kick off March 20 with a lead-in on “Supergirl,” similar to how the setup for last fall's “Invasion!” was handled, and then continue on the March 21 episode of “The Flash.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/flash-supergirl-music-meister-set-photos/ To Celebrate The Release Of THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE, DC TV Shows Get A LEGO Makeover (Date: 06 Feb 2017) The LEGO Batman Movie is receiving rave reviews, and it appears as if Warner Bros. is going all out this week to give it one final promotional push. That involves giving a LEGO makeover to many of their hit TV shows, and below you'll find Minifigure versions of characters from Arrow, The Flash, Gotham, and Supergirl. Disappointingly, the eclectic cast of Legends of Tomorrow hasn't been included here.

Their meeting isn't so much epic as…well, confusing. That's because the gang learns that while Batman may be an unparalleled detective, he's apparently not the world's greatest speller. Link:http://www.cbr.com/lego-batman-movie-cw-arrowverse/ SUPERGIRL PROMO TEASES DEBUT OF LEX LUTHOR'S ICONIC WARSUIT (Date: 07 Feb 2017) The pair of Luthors will take the lead in the next episode of the series, an installment appropriately titled “Luthors.” The CW aired a promo for the episode, and it confirmed that an episode titled “Luthors” has to include a shout out to Lex. At 12 seconds into the promo below, you catch a glimpse of what appears to be Lex Luthor's iconic green and purple warsuit. LENA IS ARRESTED – After Metallo (guest star Frederick Schmidt) breaks out of prison and frees Lillian Luthor (guest star Brenda Strong), the police blame Lena (guest star Katie McGrath) for his escape and arrest her. Despite overwhelming evidence, Kara (Melissa Benoist) refuses to believe her friend is guilty and fights to clear Lena's name. Flashbacks reveal how Lena came to be a Luthor. Meanwhile, Alex (Chyler Leigh) and Maggie (Floriana Lima) celebrate their first Valentine's Day together. Tawnia McKiernan directed the episode written by Robert Rovner and Cindy Lichtman. (#212).

However, we didn't know that she would return in another future episode (or perhaps just stick around after the Grodd episode) and confront the god of speed.

It also reunites Mark Hamill as The Joker with Kevin Conroy as Batman. The pair have been voicing the foils since Batman: The Animated Series twenty-five years ago, across multiple animated series, films, and video game projects Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/02/09/mark-hamill-returns-as-the-joker-in-justice-league-action-clip/ DC's Legends Of Tomorrow Changes Season 2 Finale Date (Date: 09 Feb 2017) The second season finale was initially expected to air on Tuesday, March 28th, following an episode of The Flash. But thanks to some reworking of The CW's schedule, the finale episode will air the following Tuesday, April 4th. The most interesting thing about this is that Legends will air in The Flash's timeslot on April 4th, and will be followed by the third season premiere of iZombie.

They call it Versus, where they pit one character against the other. But instead of something like Super Hero Beatdown where we see the actual fight, this is more giving the histories and strengths of the characters and letting the fans decide.For their first episode they've decided to pit the Emerald Archer versus the Scarlet Speedster. Link:https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/02/05/green-arrow-vs-flash/ DC Rebirth Returned… A Lot (Date: 06 Feb 2017) On the official monthly statistics, Diamond reduces the statistical data of comics that have been designated returnable, by 10%. This indicates that Diamond expect a certain amount of returnability, but not that much. Well, it seems that DC Comics seems to have overdone it this time. They made the first six issues of all the DC Rebirth twice-monthly launch comics returnable, more than ever before. Ostensibly to allow retailers to find a ceiling limit on sales to customers, to not have to order conservatively, and to be confident in ordering big. Which has allowed certain titles that had slipped away in recent years, specifically Superman and Flash, to find an appreciative audience.However, there is a cost for that kind of thing. And while sales of DC Comics are also up, so is the returnability, at record high levels, and something DC and Diamond didn't anticipate. Which is why those pallet photos are meant to be quite a revelation. Could this be why the Diamond 2016 end-of-year statistics have been so delayed?

CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES Season Episode “Second Chances” (Date: 01 Feb 2017) Article: http://comicbook.com/2017/02/02/arrow-easter-eggs-and-things-you-might-have-missed-in-second-cha/ HUB CITY - Hub City, a fictional city in the DC Universe, is best known as the home to The Question, a self-taught urban shaman. The last time we saw the city on Arrow was when Esrin Fortuna helped Oliver take on Damien Darhk...and of course, when Hub City started to show up in showrunner Marc Guggenheim's tweets this year, there was plenty of speculation that he was teasing The Question. Turns out, he was teasing the Black Canary! BIG BELLY BURGER - Big Belly Burger, a fictional fast-food restaurant in the DC Universe, is the fast food of choice for people who are in hiding, in jail, or otherwise cut off from the world on The Flash. Here, we saw Team Arrow hanging out there in Hub City while Felicity got it delivered to her in the Arrowcave during her side quest. FAMILY SECRET - When Talia refers to her agelessness as a "family secret," it's the kind of cutesy clue that Nyssa used to drop in her early appearances, where she didn't directly name-drop Ra's al Ghul or the Lazarus Pit, but made references that were pretty clear to people in the know. Back then, of course, we always wondered whether Ra's would ever make an appearance. Now, he's come and gone, and we know that this kind of vague dialogue is mostly to keep continuity tidy so that Oliver doesn't realize exactly who he's dealing with when Ra's and Nyssa come in later. THE FLASH & CAPTAIN SINGH - In what Marc Guggenheim tweeted was the quickest crossover Arrow has ever done with The Flash, we got to see Barry speed (in costume) into his boss's office to vouch for Green Arrow. What's nice to see is Captain Singh, Barry's boss, who hasn't been seen much this season. It felt a bit like last night, when the long-absent Miss Tessmacher from Supergirl had a quick cameo on The Flash. SONUS - Sean Sonus, alias Discord is a sonic villain who fights Green Arrow and Black Canary. He first appeared in Green Arrow and Black Canary #15, and was co-created by Arrow EP Andrew Kreisberg and artist Mike Norton. DINAH DRAKE - "Dinah Drake" is actually the name of the original/Earth-2 Black Canary, who existed in the comics before Dinah Lance did. ARROW NEWS: New Arrow Episode Gets A Russian Title As It Begins Production (Date: 30 Jan 2017) Marc Guggenheim, the show's executive producer, shared a cover of the new episode's script, and let fans know that it was beginning production. Episode 17 will be titled 'Kapot', which is a Russian word meaning 'cowl' or 'hood'. Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/01/30/new-arrow-episode-gets-a-russian-title-as-it-begins-production/ ARROW SYNOPSIS TARGETS WILD DOG'S ORIGIN STORY (Date: 27 Jan 2017) Spectre of the Gun” — WILD DOG'S HISTORY IS REVEALED — A traumatic attack on City Hall triggers painful memories for Rene (Rick Gonzalez) about his family. Flashbacks reveal how Rene went from simple family man to a hero named Wild Dog. Meanwhile, Oliver (Stephen Amell) must deal with the perpetrator behind the attack and realizes the best way to do so is as Mayor Queen instead of the Green Arrow. Tensions run high in the Arrow bunker. Kristin Windell directed the episode written by Marc Guggenheim (#513). Original airdate 2/15/2017 Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-synopsis-targets-wild-dogs-origin-story/ Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Bones, Arrow, The 100, Once, Elementary, Suits, Little Liars, NCIS: LA and More (Date: 31 Jan 2017) Have we seen the last of Evelyn/Artemis on Arrow? Actually, when TVLine last spoke to Wendy Mericle, the Arrow scribes were in the midst of hashing out a return scenario for Little Miss Benedict Arnold. “We have a really cool, exciting twist for how she's going to reappear,” the EP teased, noting: “The interesting thing about the choices Evelyn has made is that as much as she took the moral high ground when confronting Oliver, she has allied herself with someone who is even worse,” in Prometheus. “She's gone from the frying pan into the fire.” Link:http://tvline.com/2017/01/31/bones-final-season-spoilers-booth-gordon-wyatt/ Wayback Wednesday: Watch The First Ever Trailer For Arrow (Date: 01 Feb 2017) In honor of Wayback Wednesday - and a brand new episode of Arrow tonight - it's about time to take a look back at the first ever trailer for Arrow. This footage was seen in 2012, and it talked a lot about Oliver Queen's return to the real world, after he was thought to be dead. The trailer shows Oliver on the island, beard and all, as well as his assimilation back into society. Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/02/02/wayback-wednesday-watch-the-first-ever-trailer-for-arrow/ ARROW: TINA BOLAND'S REAL NAME WILL BE FAMILIAR TO DC COMICS FANS (Date: 01 Feb 207) “Tina Boland” is her undercover name; her real name is Dinah Drake. If that sounds familiar, that's because Dinah Drake is the name of the original Black Canary. Dinah debuted in 1947's “Flash Comics” #86 as Black Canary. Later, she married a man named Larry Lance and subsequently changed her name to Dinah Lance. Inspired by Dinah, her daughter Dinah Laurel Lance would go on to become a founding member of the Justice League. When the New 52 restarted DC Comics' continuity, the Black Canary legacy was retconned, and Dinah Drake was restored as the one and only Black Canary. This New 52 version of Dinah Drake was formerly married to Kurt Lance, but the two divorced. Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-tina-boland-black-canary-dinah-drake/ Arrow: What is Helix? (Date: 01 Feb 2017) Helix was a supervillain group led by Dr. Benjamin Love, aka Mr. Bones. The members were six mutated children who had been experimented on and then kidnapped by Love. They grew up to be a rather bizarre cast of characters, including Kritter (a human/dog hybrid) and Baby Boom (a young child who can cause explosions with her mind). It's safe to assume that any future appearances of Helix will certainly be way more grounded in reality - with any mention of the original characters probably being used as online screennames. This is similar to the inclusion of the secret organization Shadowspire in Arrow, which was given a much more realistic makeover. When recently discussing the dynamic between Felicity and Diggle going forward, Arrow executive-producer Wendy Mericle mentioned that the events in 'Second Chances' will play into the rest of the season. "Part of what kicks [Felicity] off down this darker path is she's going to find evidence to exonerate him -- and [Diggle's] going to have to deal with the fallout of the fact that Felicity is now going down a questionable path in part because of him." With that in mind, there's a very good chance that tonight's episode will not be the last time we hear of Helix on Arrow.

Heroes Unite.” In the episode, a White Martian arrives in National City to capture M'gann and return her to Mars, where she's to be punished as a traitor. Unwilling to allow that to happen, Hank Henshaw and Supergirl bring M'gann to the Department of Extra-Normal Operations for protection, only for circumstances to turn from bad to worse. Link:http://www.cbr.com/supergirl-martian-manhunter-martian-chronicles-poster/ Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow boss on crossovers ahead (Date: 26 Jan 2017) “We're going to be seeing the Black Flash on Legends,” Guggenheim says, reminding fans that Thawne is a member of the Legion of Doom. “Lily Stein, who was introduced in Flash 308, makes an appearance next week. So there's a fair amount of Flash-ness going on in Legends. I wish I could say that we were so smart to take advantage of the new timeslot and do that, but we weren't that smart. We just had already sort of been doing that organically anyway when we found out about the new timeslot. I will say this: There's a love scene in episode 11 and we were in the editing room on it — it's a love scene, it gets a little steamy — and I was joking, ‘Let's take that 9 p.m. timeslot out for a spin.'” The article has the audio of the interview with Guggenheim. Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/01/26/arrow-legends-tomorrow-crossovers/ Two Speedsters Are Better Than One On This Electrifying New Poster For THE FLASH (Date: 29 Jan 2017) While their partnership may have gotten off to a slightly rocky start in last week's midseason premiere, it sounds like Barry is finally ready to take Wally under his wing over the course of the next few episodes, which should result in a lot of high-speed fun. As for when we'll get to see the duo in action, it looks like episode twelve, titled "Untouchable," is a good bet as it'll feature a subplot with the Scarlet Speedster helping Kid Flash elevate his game to the next level. Check out the new "Lightning Strikes Twice" poster. Link:https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/the_flash/two-speedsters-are-better-than-one-on-this-electrifying-new-a148532 The Flash: Robbie Amell teases his upcoming return (Date: 29 Jan 2017) Earlier this month, EW exclusively revealed that Robbie Amell is returning to The Flash for an upcoming episode. Details on his return are still scarce, but the actor gave EW a little tease of what to expect. “I was there last week,” he shared at Honda's “Hockey Goes Hollywood” event in Los Angeles. “I can tell you that my scenes are with Grant [Gustin] and Danielle [Panabaker]. And I may or may not be alive.” That last part is key, considering the last we saw of Ronnie, he died as a result of destroying the singularity that opened up the path to Earth-2, where that planet's Ronnie was a villain named Deathstorm. Being back on Flash is always a treat for Amell, who got to catch up with his TV wife and former superhero partner and have his first true Ronnie and Barry scene.

When asked about Captain Cold, he said, “He is going to be a full-fledged member of the Legion of Doom and be very valuable to them on multiple fronts. Eobard has done his homework in this regard, and he's recruited somebody who's fully on board with the Legion of Doom's mission and he also understands the complications that Captain Cold's relationship with the Legends… the psychological complications that inform Eobard and his plans.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrow-matt-letscher-legion-of-doom-reverse-flash-captain-cold/ KEIYNAN LONSDALE TALKS WALLY'S TRANSFORMATION INTO KID FLASH (Date: 31 Jan 2017) Interview with CBR. When asked about Savitar, he said, “Savitar is the biggest threat that any of them have faced. Fortunately, Barry doesn't have to do this alone. He's always had Team Flash. Other people are getting powers. It's going to take everyone working together to stop him. Wally is super-crucial to that.” Also, he won't be singing in the musical episode.

She wrote “Super Friend,” which will be performed by Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist. The episode will also feature an original song written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, Dear Evan Hansen) called “Runnin' Home to You” that Gustin will perform.

Details of her character aren't known, but it's described by the CW as “a mysterious new role that will become the new Big Bad of Season 2.” Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg said of Hatcher's casting, “No offense to any of the wonderful actresses who have also played the part, but Teri Hatcher is my all time favorite Lois Lane. To have her come back to the SuperWorld in a completely different part is an unbelievable gift to me, Greg, and the fans.” Link:http://deadline.com/2017/01/supergirl-teri-hatcher-season-2-cast-recurring-1201898430/ ‘Black Lightning' Drama Eyes Move To the CW To Join Greg Berlanti Comic Lineup (Date: 02 Feb 2017) Deadline has learned that Black Lightning, the high-profile drama based on the DC character, which had a big production commitment at Fox, is on the move and likely to land at the CW. The project comes from Greg Berlanti, king of the CW's DC universe. Fox brass ultimately decided that the superhero show was not a good fit. The CW is home of Berlanti Prods.'s four DC/WBTV superhero series — Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow, which Berlanti also co-created. That makes the network a suitable home for Black Lightning, which would give the CW's DC universe its first major African American superhero. Black Lightning would be the only black superhero toplining his own broadcast series and the second currently on TV, joining Marvel's Luke Cage on Netflix.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #303 – Arrow 5x10 – Who Are You? | Recap & ReviewLaurel is back! Except it’s definitely Earth 2’s Black Siren instead. Felicity throws a welcome back party that’s really a Gather-Your-DNA-From-A-Glass party, which confirms the identical nature of this supposed Laurel. New-Laurel catches on and tries to blow up the lab, but gets caught. Felicity then allows New-Laurel to escape, but only after tricking her into swallowing nanotech that will track her. They find Black Siren, working with Prometheus. The team takes her down, but fails to capture Billy-Malone-Now’s killer. Oliver stations her at a nearby ARGUS facility in the hopes that he can one day find a shred of the old Laurel in this new Siren. During all this, Curtis has been unsure of his place on the team after having his ass handed to him a few times. Rene, of all people, recognizes this and takes the time to mention to him how crucial he is to the team when he is playing to his strengths. Elsewhere in the world, Diggle wants to get out of from under his charges the right way this time. Oliver convinces Adrian Chase to help him out. Diggle makes it clear that if he is transferred out of Star City under General Clark’s care it will be the penultimate stop on the way to a bullet to the head, so Chase gets a little creative, having Diggle punch him to keep the case in the Star City jurisdiction. Back in Russia, Oliver gets the face beat out of him for a while in an attempt to make him attend to the Kovar Konstantine agenda. In time, Talia al Ghul shows up to rescue him. And in Hub City, a young lady busts up some bar fly assholes using what could only be a Canary Cry. Oh, and Oliver decides to find another Canary to continue the legacy. Because that’s what’s happening.

Leads to the confrontation on the Waverider when Ray calls her out for trailing the Nazis. Ray Palmer / The Atom Still the boy scout Follows Sara when she says she's going to see Grandpa in FBI Is he just a guy in a suit? Mick Rory / Heat Wave Found by Ollie and Heywood in statis Injured during fight, why Rip put him in stasis; gets to pilot the Waverider to find team Follows orders in France by not bringing gun, but breaks them by stealing Einstein thinks he is the brains of the operation Martin Stein / Firestorm Giddy to meet Einstein, but disappointed (Never meet your heroes) Jefferson Jackson / Firestorm I really dig his knowledge of the ship Foreshadows finding the hidden section of the ship later on.

Rehearsed an emergency drill or something? Gideon Without saying much except for “I'm here Captain” before the time scatter, Gideon seems really human. Damn Justice Society of America (JSA) Obsedian Commander Steel Dr. Mid-Nite Stargirl Legion of Doom Damien Darhk Is the one who supplied the Nazis with uranium Recognizes Sara's fighting style Germans want him to get another bomb, reveals his partner wants to move on Eobard Thawne / Reverse-Flash Revealed at end to be Darhk's partner Malcolm Merlyn CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES Season 02 Episode 01 “Out of Time” (Date: 13 Oct 2016) Article:http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/10/13/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-things-you-might-have-missed-in-out-of-t/ Out of Time - As has been the case a lot in the first couple of weeks of The CW's TV season, the episode's title -- "Out of Time" -- is a bit of a reference in and of itself. It's likely been the name of a number of time travel-related stories -- but most recently, it was the name of a story that ran through The Flash #30-35 (from the 2011 series) and featured, among other villains, The Reverse-Flash. The fact that the final moments of the episode incorporate the "surprise" appearance of Eobard Thawne, then, suggests this could have been a more-than-incidental use of the name. OLIVER QUEEN - Oliver Queen, seen wearing a suit and not in his Green Arrow costume for the purposes of this season finale, is played by Stephen Amell. The star of Arrow, Oliver is generally considered the genesis point for The CW's DC Universe (even though they obviously had Smallville and Birds of Prey long before Arrow came along). Amell's Green Arrow appeared in the series premieres of both The Flash and DC's Legends of Tomorrow, so this episode more or less continues a tradition. NATE HEYWOOD - Nick Zano joins the cast as Nate Heywood -- "Citizen Steel" -- who in the comics inherits the powers and costume of his grandfather. He's a troubled individual, suffering from both physical and emotional damage, in the comics -- but as Zano told ComicBook.com at Comic Con International: San Diego, that's not the direction they're going with Heywood on TV. THE THREE MUSKETEERS - Cardinal Richelieu, depicted as one of the villains of Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers, being included in this episode more or less cements the idea that they look like that on purpose -- and explains why certain characters who were strategically important in the fight -- like Jax, for instance -- had to stay out of sight. REX TYLER - Rex Tyler, the Golden Age Hourman and a veteran member of the Justice Society of America, is one of a number of DC heroes who would pass on his name and legacy numerous times over the decades to come in the comics. On TV, he made a single, brief appearance at the end of the season 1 finale of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and will show up again -- with the rest of the Justice Society this time -- in next week's episode as well. DAMIEN DARHK - Damien Darhk was the season four big bad on Arrow. Like Ra's al Ghul, he's a very old man who has been kept relatively young by the Lazarus Pit because of his position of power and authority first within the League of Assassins and later in H.I.V.E. Originally created as a villain in The Titans, Darhk's control of H.I.V.E. made him an ideal choice when The CW decided to introduce a magical villain last year. He was nearly unbeatable until Oliver figured out how to manipulate Darhk's energy to his own ends, and now he's dead -- except that as somebody who's been not only alive, but rich and powerful for decades, he's surprisingly easy for a time-traveling troublemaker to find and recruit. ALBERT EINSTEIN - First of all, he's appeared in DC Comics before. In an oversized issue Superman vs. Wonder Woman, Nazis went after Einstein in 1942. Ultimately, Wonder Woman rescues him but ends up finding out about the Manhattan Project. After becoming a person of interest for a while and throwing down with Superman a bit, she ends up teaming up with the Last Son of Krypton to track down and defeat Baron Blitzkrieg. Secondly, the thing with his wife is actually based in historical controversy. Mileva Marić was a Serbian physicist and has long been rumored to have coauthored Einstein's 1905 paper on relativity. INSULTING RAY - Calling him a "boy scout" feels like a nod to Brandon Routh's time as Superman, but the whole "what are you without that suit?" reeks of Marvel's The Avengers. That's a comic book movie reference twofer! REVERSE-FLASH - Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, may have something up his sleeve. At the end of The Flash's Season 3 premiere earlier this month, he said that while his future was as it should be, Barry's might not be. Barry then went home to discover a number of small anomalies that made his life and those of his friends worse. Now, we learn that "somebody" is outfitting the villains of history with future tech in order to push the world to a slightly worse place. Could Eobard Thawne have stepped right out of "Flashpoint" and into "Out of Time?" Either way, seeing him and Darhk together is enough to make seasoned Arrowverse fans quake in their boots even before they know the other members of Thawne's little Legion of Doom.

He's going to come up against Colonel Walker and grow closer to Adrian Chase.” Guess having a good lawyer on his side in the form of the DA, as well as Vigilante, will help!

Laurel will drive a lot of the story in the second half of the season 2. The Prometheus story will heat up 3. Talia will appear in the present (she's only been in flashbacks so far) 4. The Arrow v.

There's one big development that's revealed in the clip: Mon-El finally got a job! He's working as a bartender, which makes a lot of sense given his party-boy Daxamite background. True to form though, he's not great at fetching club soda for Kara, preferring to serve her something brown and boozy.

Despite the fact that he saves the Flash's life, Barry is none too happy with his protégé, and brings him to task for doing instead of observing and learning like he was supposed to.The clip also teases the introduction of another villain from the comics, with Wally bragging about how he put Plunder into Iron Heights.

"I think that Winn has become a foil for the audience in terms of how he's giving us the fanboy reaction play by play, and that's a really fun, exciting aspect of Winn to play," Jordan said. "That's 'old Winn.' That who Winn has always been at his core. At the same time, Winn is growing up and learning to guard himself and learning to protect his friends and he kind of becomes a little bit of the sage advice-giver this season, whether he's giving advice to Alex or cautioning James to take it easy. I think he's learned a lot from Cat and he's learned a lot from his experience in the past year or so and it's forced him to grow up a lot."

It seems pretty clear that Johns' return to writing a DC comic will involve the Watchmen characters that were behind the Rebirth event. But will that be a new series exclusively focusing on those characters or are we looking at another crossover event? There's still a lot of mystery surrounding Ozymandias and Doctor Manhattan's role in Rebirth so the safe bet would be another event series continuing on from where Rebirth left off. As far as a new DCTV series is concerned, will it be airing on The CW, Fox, Syfy or some other network? And with the large number of DC characters already appearing on the various shows, will it be another spinoff series?

Kara still has to figure out how she feels about him." * The fact that we now know Mon-El is hiding a possibly nefarious secret will also have to be addressed, with Adler acknowledging, "A lot of secrets have been brewing this season," and that as season 2 gets into its latter half, "We'll get definitive answers."

Not many Prometheus and Ollie - round one Prometheus has skills; does cool special flip (Ollie recognizes it; he learned it from a woman in Russia) Wild Dog shoots weapon out of Prometheus's hand, but Artemis shoots his guns Prometheus disappears with Artemis Prometheus and Ollie - round two Action is cut with flashback from 4 years ago Prometheus has dead bodies posed just like how Ollie killed them Its super creepy and really helps to amp up the tension Fight up escalator (flashback) Prometheus able to escape; makes Billy Malone look and sound like him Similar to the Joker's hostages in The Dark Knight Flashbacks: Share your thoughts 4 years ago - Ollie as The Hood Killing people; The List Diggle knows Ollie is The Hood Ollie after Justin Claybourne, who manufactured weaponized TB in order to sell medicine for it Diggle warns Ollie that his actions could have unintended consequences Red pen! Felicity is awkward and cute when she helps Ollie find address (1852) Ollie: Has he learned after all this time? Brings team to first fight w/Prometheus Goes alone when find Prometheus again - why? Being confronted with past makes him act like that again - he kills Prometheus instead of putting an arrow in his knee Does he have to kill Prometheus? Confesses to team the truth First instinct is to push everyone away The expression on his face when he sees HER in the Arrowcave Diggle Active in flashback Leads group hug at end when Ollie wants to push everyone away Is called by Lyla to safe house Is taken in by soldiers Thea Feels as though the Dominators dream renewed her purpose Tells Ollie that we leave good and bad legacies Suits up as Speedy! Is this a onetime thing after the reveal of Artemis' betrayal? Felicity Awkwardly introduces Billy to friends; suggest double date w/Ollie Tells Billy not to investigate Prometheus; Billy does anyway because that's his job Billy sends her photo of baby - is looping her in on what he finds Blames Prometheus for Billy's death Quentin Lance Not in episode Curtis Has lied to husband Paul - doing a start up with Felicity Tells hubby the truth - Paul gives ultimatum Realizes being Mr. Terrific gives him purpose Paul leaves b/c can't see him go off every night and risk life Wild Dog “I don't like rules or listening” Does the opposite Ollie instructs (maybe Ollie pulls an “opposite day” move) Is he a father? Artemis Gives Rene, Rory, and Diggle stockings with their code names Says guys are her only family Betrays Oliver because city needs protecting from him Ragman Makes Flashpoint joke Figures out how to sequence DNA D.A. Adrian Chase Really wants Prometheus dealt with Puts kill order on Prometheus Susan Williams Ollie's date to the Christmas party Drinks Russian vodka Russian writing on the bottle is centered on screen, is this a hint? Tells Ollie shutting people out is not a good thing to do Has sexytimes with Ollie Laurel Is this due to Barry and Flashpoint? Or maybe due to Legends of Tomorrow where Sara revealed Damian's future so now he is travelling time to avert it. Bratva Not in episode Prometheus Leads? - A whole bunch At least 30 years old Justin Claybourne's son - ???? Seems too easy if this is the case Son not publicly known - mentioned in divorce papers Has studied Oliver for four years How does he(?) know that Ollie killed his father and studied fighting in Russia? When did he(?) find out all of this about Ollie? Is it Claybourne's son? Could it be someone else who just knows about what Ollie has done when he was The Hood and was working off of The List? Tied to The List He sounds like Michael Dorn to Chris (reddit seems to agree) Michelle's List O'Suspects: (I'm keeping this active until the mask comes off) Tommy Merlyn - Not likely now. In Ollie's Dementor vision as someone proud of Ollie New: Susan Williams - if the Claybourne son thing is a red herring; then it could be her; she is old enough, drinks Russian vodka, and has finally confirmed Ollie was in Russia. Maybe her real name isn't SW Robert Queen - too old? But is the author of The List. In Ollie's Dementor vision as someone proud of Ollie. New: It's actually Claybourne's son Adrian Chase (but more likely to become Vigilante) Billy Malone - dead Helena Bertinelli (but I would rather see her as either Huntress or head of the Bertinelli family) Isabel Rochev Mckenna Hall Shado - not Claybourne's child and not really connected to The List Slade Wilson - not tied to The List Talia al Ghul (see this week's news) New: Quentin Lance (likely a red herring) (in rehab) Roy - too young and in Ollie's Dementor vision as someone proud of Ollie; also, not really tied to The List Viktor (SP's add) - too old CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES Season Episode “What We Leave Behind” (Date: 08 Dec 2016) Article: http://comicbook.com/2016/12/08/arrow-easter-eggs-and-things-you-might-have-missed-in-the-season/ JUDAS CONTRACT - A young, female team member who is recruited into Team Arrow and then seduced to the dark side and ends up becoming a sleeper agent for the villain is pretty much exactly the plot to the classic New Teen Titans storyline The Judas Contract. OLIVER'S CHRISTMAS MOVIES - According to Stephen Amell's recent Facebook Live video, he shares Oliver's favorite Christmas movie (Die Hard) and the "Its true!" he delivered after saying so in the episode was actually a Stephen Amell-ism, not Oliver Queen's. His second choice, It's a Wonderful Life, is an interesting one considering..."I was very lucky to be able to rewatch that movie last week."...which of course is not a thing that happened. He was subjected to a kind of custom-made It's a Wonderful Life, where the Dominators showed him a whole different timeline and how his life and the lives of those around him might be different if he had made different decisions. BIG BELLY BURGER - The mention is because the to-go bag for the DC Universe's favorite burger joint was the focus of a shot that hung on for a few seconds AND transitioned from the present day to the flashbacks. That's a lot of camera time for a fast food container. CLAYBOURNE - While Justin Claybourne's name did in fact appear on The List, we never saw him dealt with in season 1 and all of the scenes here that were calling back to the first year of the series were entirely new material. This, of course, opens up the question of whether we might see some more such stories in flashbacks for future episodes...! ALMOST EVERY WEDNESDAY - "People who are supposed to be dead turn out to be alive almost every Wednesday." Weirdly enough never during the summer or between mid-December and late January, though. THE HOOD - Oliver's season 1 costume, the kill list, the sets, the mission, his arguments with Diggle...this is what it was like when he was The Hood and not Green Arrow. THE RED PEN - The red pen is a nice callback to some of Felicity Smoak's earliest appearances, and that makes it worth breaking out to talk separately about "IT Girl Felicity," back when Oliver was still making up outlandish stories to get her help instead of just coming clean with her. AK DESMOND PHARMACEUTICAL - It seems worth noting, since Dr. Alchemy is such a big part of The Flash this season, that A.K. Desmond Pharmaceutical could plausibly be considered a wink-and-a-nod reference to Albert Desmond, a chemist who would go on to become Dr. Alchemy in the comics. Unlikely, but possible! MAKE THE CITY GREAT AGAIN - Obviously in his final moments, when Claybourne is trying to appeal to Oliver's ideas about "saving the city," he says that businesses like his can "make the city great again," which in the context of the last years' worth of public life feels suspiciously like a reference to Donald Trump's "make America great again" campaign slogan. ARROW NEWS: ARROW FANS HAVE ALREADY SEEN SEASON 5'S FINAL SCENE — OR HAVE THEY? (Date: 05 Dec 2016) Now that “Arrow” has reached season five and has no plans of slowing down, the plan has changed slightly. As Guggenheim said, “Spoiler alert. That's (Ollie's rescue from Lian Yu) going to end up being the Season 5 finale.” Season five's flashback story arc will still end by replaying the first moments of the series, but there's now much more show to come after that moment in season six and beyond. But just because fans saw how season five will end five years ago doesn't mean there aren't surprises still ahead at the end of this season. Guggenheim added that the creators have “some incredibly clear plans for what we want to do in the Season 5 finale,” but that they always leave wiggle room for surprises and cliffhangers.

"For me, I like the idea of Felicity not defining herself through her relationship with a man," Ramsey told the crowd.

Amell said that tonight's script was the first in a long time that legitimately shocked him when he turned the page to that reveal.

More fun-loving prankster than straightforward villain, Mxyzptlk's fifth-dimensional technology appears as magic to three-dimensional beings; the limits of his powers are vast and unknown.

The girl said she was suicidal because she's gay, and she didn't realize gay women could be happy until she saw the Alex Danvers coming out arc on Supergirl. To help the girl out through the hiatus, the employees suggested Batwoman: Elegy, Midnighter, and Gotham Central.

While Hamill was filming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a new TV version of The Flash was coming together. Three years later, against all odds, he and the producers have found a way for Hamill to make an appearance as James Jesse in each midseason finale so far.

And Kara says, ‘I think you wanna meet my sister.'

So we're not too concerned with what we're going to try to do next year. But it just gives us another way to come at a story.” DOES THE WORLD KNOW ETs EXIST? | A line was cut for time, in which the G-man known as “Glasses” says, “‘Cover up what? A dozen weather satellites falling out of orbit?'” Guggenheim explains: “People see the ships, but no one ever really saw the Dominators. The way we're sort of playing it going forward is that Glasses is good at his job, and when he says he's going to cover it up, he's going to cover it up.” Adds Kreisberg: “There's a mention of it in The Flash, that the threat of aliens brought out all the crazies. But we're sort of Doctor Who-ing it.” Link:http://tvline.com/2016/12/01/legends-of-tomorrow-recap-season-2-episode-7-crossover-dominators-return/ GREEN ARROW COMICS & TOY NEWS X-MEN: GOLD AND BLUE ROSTERS AND CREATIVE TEAMS REVEALED (Date: 28 Nov 2016) X-Men: Gold will be written by Marc Guggenheim with art by Ardian Syaf. The phase-shifting Kitty Pryde at long-last will become an X-Men team leader, whose squad includes Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Old Man Logan, and Rachel Grey. “Kitty is the right person to bring the X-Men into the future, to herald in the next era of the X-Men,” Guggenheim told us in a phone interview. “We are post the war with the Inhumans. The X-Men are sort of at a crossroads. They're at a point where they are trying to decide, is there a future for the X-Men? And Kitty is very much of the mindset that there is a future for the X-Men and it's a bright future.” Guggenheim is best known as co-showrunner and writer on The CW's Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow and previously worked on the adjectiveless X-Men book in 2014 featuring an all-female cast of characters.

Fight scenes & Stunts: Share your thoughts (Stealing from the Flashbacks) Fight with Kovar - Damn!! Ivan Drago baby Fight with the scary masked bank robbers Ragman with the bullet shield Diggle bringing the pain (transition to some diggle chat maybe re: training) Flashbacks: Share your thoughts Dinner with Kovar He is intrigued by Oliver Taiana's mother works for him; children went missing a year ago, so he helped her out Made deal with Bratva “Questioned” Ollie for a week Fight with Ollie Ollie: Is he doing enough? As Mayor? As Green Arrow? Been trying to be a hero for four years Scolds recruits - you can't be angry at me being the killer as The Hood and like Vigilante Goes on a date with Susan Williams Diggle Cabin fever - getting antsy because in Arrowcave or Hive Missed JJ's 2nd birthday Works out a lot….probably missing something else too (wink, wink) Bonding with Rene Thea Helps Lance get the help he needs Realizes that Prometheus knows who Ollie is Felicity Uses “Mom” voice on team In the field to help with “robbery” Quentin Lance Resigns as Deputy Mayor Tells Thea about cut and throwing star Agrees to go to rehab Curtis Tries to conquer the salmon ladder, but doesn't Makes odd jokes Tells Ollie to call him “Mr. Terrific” in the field Wild Dog Helps Diggle by arranging birthday party with son and Lyla Still calls Felicity “Blondie,” but is becoming more of a team player Artemis Practices archery Knows what the fighting sticks are Uses the fact that women can't walk the streets without getting harassed to her advantage Mole for Prometheus Ragman One liners Team lines up in formation behind him to protect from bullets Helps Artemis question guy D.A. Adrian Chase Tells robbery suspect that he's “been to hell” Knows where Dunn the bank robber is Likely Vigilante Susan Williams Knows a Russian journalist Plays pool to win Getting Ollie to like and trust her Tells Ollie that he should do things the right way even if it takes time Bratva Gregor made deal with Ollie Likely using Ollie Where's Anatoly??? Prometheus OMG - that last scene! Knows Artemis Michelle's List O'Suspects: (Being bold by eliminating some this week due to developments) Tommy Merlyn Robert Queen Adrian Chase (but more likely to become Vigilante) Billy Malone (he “heard on the street” that Prometheus was a threat to the Arrow; very eager to learn where Green Arrow lives) Helena Bertinelli (but I would rather see her as either Huntress or head of the Bertinelli family) Isabel Rochev Mckenna Hall Shado Slade Wilson (being Deathstroke right away could give his plan away) Talia al Ghul (see this week's news) New: Quentin Lance (likely a red herring) (in rehab) Roy (he's been mentioned, he's had access to arrows, and he might have seen The List) Viktor (SP's add; he did see the list - shown in the season premiere) CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES Season 5 Episode 6 “So It Begins” (Date: 10 Nov 2016) Article: http://comicbook.com/2016/11/10/arrow-easter-eggs-and-other-things-you-might-have-missed-in-so-i Vigilante - But we've done that at least once before — and we think twice, so at this point we think it's pretty well-covered ground that Adrian Chase was in the comics a costumed antihero known as Vigilante before he eventually took his own life out of the remorse he felt for abandoning the rule of law he had sworn to uphold his entire adult life. The Torah - “Is that from the Torah?” Oliver asks Rory before the Moby-Dick metaphor starts. That's a not-so-subtle nod to Ragman's Jewish heritage, which has been mentioned before. It's worth a note that Rory and Felicity's Jewish heritage makes the current incarnation of Team Arrow probably the most diverse groups of superheroes ever assembled on TV, with Oliver being the only non-ethnic male on the team. It's happened without much in the way of the fanfare and attention these things usually get, so it seems worth at least a mention. Channel 52 - Here, it's Channel 52's news story when Oliver is checking on Dunn. McGuire's ? - It's not clear whether McGuire's (which could also be Maguire's or McGwire's) bar is actually meant to be a reference, but if it is, it's likely to Bridget McGuire, who was an art director on Arrow's first two seasons. ..IS THAT A 'ROCKY IV' REFERENCE? - Because it's Dolph Lundgren playing a big Russian, we're going to be looking for references to Rocky IV pretty much every week until we're sure we've seen one. That said, wrapping his hands in gauze like you do before you put your boxing gloves on (yes, we know his hands were injured. Still!), and then having him unleash a hail of haymakers on Oliver carries a little bit of an Ivan Drago context to it, doesn't it? John Jr. - This is the first time we've seen John Diggle, Jr. actually appear onscreen! He's a cute kid. He also, if you remember, used to be Sara Diggle (named for the then-dead-now-better Sara Lance) before Barry Allen traveled back in time and changed history in the "Flashpoint" event. HUB CITY - "The Marshals are halfway to Hub City by now," Lyla Michaels tells Diggle. Hub City, a fictional city in the DC Universe, is best known as the home to The Question, a self-taught urban shaman. While The Question didn't appear when Oliver visited the city last year, mystic Esrin Fortuna seemed like she had a similar role (and since there was a female Question for a while, some fans on Twitter briefly wondered whether that could be what we were seeing unfold). Moby Dick is a novel written by Herman Melville in 1851. The narrator is Ishmael, and he recounts his time on the whaling ship Pequod under the command of Captain Ahab. Ahab recklessly pursues the white whale, Moby Dick, noted for destroying whaling ships. Ahab's wooden leg is a result of an encounter with Moby Dick. SP's add: Judge Balderama - Oscar Balderama.

The video reveals a few glimpses of the “Arrow”-verse's latest threat: yellow, mind-controlling aliens with needle-like teeth and large red spots on their foreheads. Eagle eyes will spot a glimpse of Deathstroke. Link: http://www.cbr.com/new-arrowverse-crossover-promo-offers-first-look-at-the-dominators/ All in the Family (Date: 18 Nov 2016) Highlights from the article in Entertainment Weekly: The crossover story involves the Dominators, mind-controlling space invaders alarmed by Earth's surging population of metahumans. 15 characters from the 4 shows will assemble in an aeronautics facility that's part of STAR labs. This is when Barry Allen introduces Supergirl to the group. At first Diggle is not sure why Supergirl is special, but gets impressed when she hovers. Berlanti is not a fan of the shows being called the “Berlantiverse.” According to him, “There are just so many people that are also part of this. Plus, you never want anything named after you that people could be upset or angry about.” The creators like that the shows are steeped in genuine relationship drama and that they are about something. “These shows have to work on multiples levels,” says Berlanti, “You want them to be enjoyable. But if they're not about something, why are you showing up to work every day and asking everybody to pour their heart and soul into a story if it's only about the Flash fighting a villain of the week?” As for bumps in the road the shows have had? Berlanti says, “We certainly made errors along the way. But that's been part of the fun, too.” Tidbits about each show after the crossover: Arrow - Prometheus should be unmasked soon. “Always in our midseason finales, we like to revisit the big bad,” hints Berlanti. The Flash - The annual Christmas episode is set to be tearful and will also flesh out villains Savitar and Dr. Alchemy. Legends: Captain Cold and Malcolm Merlyn join the Legion of Doom. Supergirl: A cliffhanger teases the introduction of a famous Superman-Supergirl baddie that has been referenced before.

The Flash: When aliens called the Dominators attack Central City, Barry speeds over to Star City to ask the Green Arrow for help in stopping them. Realizing the battle against the Dominators is bigger than they thought, they track down the Legends of Tomorrow, and Barry and Cisco create a breach to bring back a secret weapon – Supergirl. Once all of the super friends are assembled, they come up with a plan to attack but a shocking secret related to Flashpoint is revealed and suddenly no one is sure who they can trust. Arrow: The 100th episode - Oliver wakes up to a life where he never got on The Queen's Gambit. Robert and Moira Queen are alive and well. Laurel is his loving fiancée and their wedding is imminent. Everything seems perfect, but Oliver starts to notice small imperfections that make him question this new reality. Meanwhile, Felicity and the recruits take on a new threat with help from The Flash and Supergirl. Legends: After learning the Dominators' plan for the world, the Legends must work together with The Flash, Supergirl and Green Arrow to kill them once and for all. Meanwhile, Stein figures out, with the help of others, how the team can terminate the Dominators, but is distracted by the aberration he realizes he created in 1987.

When asked if he was having fun doing the show, Lundgren replied, “Yes, it has been a blast. It's fun to play this character. I think he was well-written and I have a lot of fun with it, and the fact that I don't really know where it's going is interesting because I have to keep the character alive sort of within myself over quite a long period of [time]. ... I know it's going to be six months for sure because I'm doing some stuff in February. So yeah, that's interesting. And yeah, it's sort of endearing to have this Kovar fellow be there almost every day in my life too, to be ready for the next shot. So I'm enjoying it.

Savitar was brought into the “Flash” comics way back in 1995's “The Flash” (Vol. 2) #108 by writer Mark Waid and artist Oscar Jimenez. Savitar has the ability to transfer speed from one being to another. Thus, he's able to power an entire army of ninjas with energy from the Speed Force, using them to steal speed from existing speedsters. We soon learn that Savitar is a self-proclaimed god who formed a Speed Force-obsessed cult for himself, developing a messiah complex along the way. Savitar got his powers amidst the Cold War as a fighter pilot that accidentally broke the sound barrier.

The footage shows the Justice League scrambling to end a global phenomena being caused by dark magic. When it comes to casting, Justice League Dark nabbed several big names from the DC Animated Universe. Jason O'Mara will voice Batman while Matt Ryan will play Constantine. Zatanna will be voiced by Camilla Luddington, Deadman by Nicholas Turturro, and Etrigan by Ray Chase. Rosario Dawson will play Wonder Woman, and Superman will be voiced by Jerry O'Connell. Justice League Dark is expected to hit DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital HD in early 2017.

(Date: 15 Nov 2016) In addition to the arrival of the pointy-eared antagonists, the teaser also included the first look at Citizen Steel's helmet, the return of Deathstroke — and the first glimpse of a new, intimidating logo we haven't seen before. Now, the question arises: who's icon is that? In a recent report, it was revealed that the CW version of the Dominators utilize a form of mind control, a departure from their comic book counterparts. The logo seen in the trailer has us thinking, perhaps there's another, longer-lasting reason the alien invaders will be employing this technique in their battle for Earth. In the comics, the Kobra Cult is a terrorist organization dedicated to controlling the world. In short, exactly the sort of group the Arrowverse loves to introduce as foils to its heroes, and one whose debut during a crossover of this magnitude could lay the seeds for multiple storylines across future seasons for every DC/CW show.

The eighth episode [of ‘Arrow'] is going to have a lot of big things coming out of it, and that's going to be one of them. Yes.” Ramsey also weighed in how Digg will react to the idea of an alien invasion, which will take place over the course of The CW's four-show crossover this fall. “How is he going to react to seeing a woman fly across the horizon in a skirt? That's an even better question!” he shared. “All of this flips Digg out, but I think he's slowly getting a grip that this is the world that he now lives in and that's part of his journey as well this season.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-diggle-will-confront-flash-about-the-consequences-of-flashpoint/ Arrow: Amell calls Oliver's vigilantism ‘A last resort' (Date: 28 Oct 2016) Asked what he thought of Oliver's enduring legacy as Green Arrow, Amell told CBR, “He's very tough on [the new recruits], but then — in private moments, speaking with people he holds in close confidence — he sort of extols their virtues. So I think that he's proud, but again, being a vigilante (and I think that he would agree with this) is the last resort, not the first resort. In a perfect world, Star City wouldn't need a Green Arrow. So I think that the proliferation of them, while heartening in some sense and encouraging, is also a reminder that he hasn't gotten the job done.” As to whether or not this job could ever truly be done, he added, “Of course! When the show is done, he'll have gotten the job done.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-amell-calls-olivers-vigilantism-a-last-resort/ Mericle calls Arrow's 100th episode a ‘Love letter to the show' (Date: 28 Oct 2016) Wendy Mericle spoke to CBR about finding a balance between “Arrow's” legacy and the crossover event, the future of the show, Green Lantern Easter eggs, female super-villains and more. About the 100th episode, she said, “It's the 100th and we wanted it to be very nostalgic and very much about the DNA of “Arrow,” of the show when it started. We feel really lucky. We found a way to balance the fact that we do now live in a world where there are metas and there are aliens. Greg Berlanti came up with this brilliant way of accomplishing that and making it very much a love letter to the fans and to the show.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/mericle-calls-arrows-100th-episode-a-love-letter-to-the-show/ Arrow: Lance & Thea will develop a father/daughter dynamic (Date: 29 Oct 2016) At the celebration of “Arrow's” 100th episode, Paul Blackthorne — who plays Quentin — told CBR that Thea's offer of help will lead the two to develop a father/daughter relationship as the season moves forward. He said, "We both felt the characters wouldn't realize that was happening for quite a long time. It's not like, ‘Oh, she feels like my daughter!'

(Date: 01 Nov 2016) Instead of Question coming to Star City, it looks like Team Arrow might be heading to Hub City instead.“Headed out of town…” he wrote. The caption was attached to an image advertising Hub City's premium development potential. At the bottom right-hand corner of the advert, fans can see that the advert is associated with Arrow's eleventh episode this season. Currently, fans have not been told what title the episode will carry, but fans are now wondering if it will have anything to do with the Question.

Talia is the daughter of Ra's — who was the main villain in “Arrow's” third season, played by Matt Nable — and the half-sister of Nyssa al Ghul, who's played by Katrina Law. Talia, like Nyssa, is an elite warrior, excelling in multiple different forms of combat. Unlike her sister though, she refuses to pick sides and instead creates her own. Doig's first appearance as Talia will be in the tenth episode of Season 5.

"In some ways, there can be some episodes of Arrow that can be just as optimistic in their own way, especially given the perils that they're up against," Berlanti told ComicBook.com during a recent event celebrating the hundredth episode of Arrow. "It's definitely a darker-toned show in a lot of regards, but it's always the relationships and those are just as emotional and deep and fun."

Adrian Chase Get a little dirty to clean up the filth All of the justice now comes from vigilantes CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES Season Episode “Penance” (Date: 26 Oct 2016) Article: http://comicbook.com/2016/10/27/arrow-easter-eggs-and-other-things-you-might-have-missed-in-pena/ The Name Game - Artemis and Mr. Terrific got their names this week Kord Industries - Kord Industries, a fixture in seasons 2 and 3 but less common in 4 and so far in 5, is the name of the tech company owned and operated by Ted Kord. In the comics, Ted is one of three people who have gone by the name of Blue Beetle. A heroic legacy that started in 1940, Kord's version of the Blue Beetle was the most Green Arrow-like: an inventor and industrialist who didn't have any special powers but who did have a lot of tech, mostly Beetle-themed. It's rumored that he was supposed to be the character who eventually evolved into Ray Palmer, but DC had other plans for the character — widely believed to be the forthcoming Booster Gold movie. Tech Village - This not-quite-a-Best-Buy is the name of the store where Felicity Smoak worked at the beginning Arrow's third season. This may be the first time it's had an in-story reference in at least a full season that wasn't just a brief callback to "Felicity worked there once." It is also, due to Ray Palmer's attempts to recruit Felicity to work for him, a subsidiary of Palmer Tech. Palmer Tech - Of course, this is the company formerly owned by Ray Palmer, and then Felicity Smoak. Before that, it was Oliver's company, which he signed over to Ravager as part of Deathstroke's attack on Oliver and the city. It's unclear who owns it now — maybe it's just whichever stockholder has a plurality and nobody exciting at all — but after four years of the company being one of the most regularly-used sets on the show, this is the first time we've gone back this year. Amertek - Church took RPGs from Amertek? We weren't going to mention Amertek necessarily, since we just talked about it a couple of episodes ago, but it's definitely worth noting that in the comics, the company's most notorious weapon is a modified RPG colloquially called a Toastmaster, which was designed by John Henry Irons during his time working for Ametek. Cell 1138 - John's cell number is a nod to THX 1138, George Lucas's directorial debut. It's arguably better known among the average moviegoer for giving the first bit of its name to THX, Lucas's revolutionary sound system, but the film itself remains one of Lucas's best-reviewed works and a reminder that he did great work outside of just Star Wars and Indiana Jones. It's worth noting that at one point in the film, the title character THX and one of his fellow prisoners (SEN 5241) stage a jail break from a facility where most of the other inmates have no desire to leave — kind of like Diggle had no desire to leave at the start of the episode. Molecular Destabilizer - That spray, used to immediately and dramatically destabilize the molecules in anything it's sprayed on (how does it stay in the bottle?), feels like a nod to the universal solvent in the first arc of All-Star Squadron.In that story, a solvent designed by villain Dr. Zodiak was used to dissolve everything from walls to guns, and made the gimmick weapons used by a number of Justice Society of America members pretty useless. Callback - This one is kind of an odd mention, but it's interesting to note that Friedkin's comments to Oliver in jail -- "do you think you scare me more than him?" -- are echoed in the present day almost immediately by the man being interrogated by Adrian Chase. ARROW NEWS: Marc Guggenheim reveals the title of Arrow's 100th episode (Date: 23 Oct 2016) While Arrow takes its hundredth episode to celebrate the four-plus seasons that have come before, it also has to balance the needs of a four-show crossover that will bring Supergirl into The Flash, Arrow, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Guggenheim said, "Arrow episode 508 is called 'Invasion!' with the exclamation point. And Legends of Tomorrow 207 is going to be 'Invasion!'. I'll leave it up to you to guess what The Flash is called." Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/23/marc-guggenheim-reveals-the-title-of-arrows-100th-episode/ Is Tommy Merlyn really Prometheus? (Date:23 Oct 2016) The article discusses the possibility that Tommy Merlyn could be Prometheus. Tommy could be alive due to Flashpoint or Malcolm using the Lazarus pit. Since producers like Marc Guggenheim has said “Oliver bears a measure of responsibility for the creation of Prometheus,” longtime viewers are convinced the villain is more so connected to Oliver as a person than as a vigilante. Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/24/arrow-is-tommy-merlyn-really-prometheus-/ Stephen Amell posts bloody Arrow selfie (Date: xx month year) “Arrow” lead Stephen Amell has posted a bloody selfie indicating that he shot quite a violent scene over the weekend. Amell is sporting long locks and facial hair, indicating that this beating he takes will occur during one of “Arrow's” trademark flashback sequences. Link:http://www.cbr.com/stephen-amell-posts-bloody-arrow-selfie/ David Ramsey reveals how Diggle will respond to Flashpoint changes (Date:24 Oct 2016) Flashpoint changed Diggle's family. How will Diggle handle the revelation? "Much more compassionately than you might think," Ramsey said. "Diggle can't miss anything he's never had and 'Flashpoint' changes history -- it changes his history directly -- so he never can really miss Baby Sara anymore, because he never had her, but he is concerned about Barry. Barry's actions were reckless, and with all that power, being reckless -- to someone as disciplined as Diggle -- comes as a shock." Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/24/david-ramsey-reveals-how-diggle-will-respond-to-flashpoint-chang/ Arrow season 5 episode 10 title revealed (Date: 25 Oct 2016) Marc Guggenheim has taken to Twitter and finally revealed the title for Season Five's tenth episode. The tenth episode of Season Five is called “Who Are You?” Guggenheim informed fans that the episode was now in production under director's Gregory Smith guidance. Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/26/arrow-season-5-episode-10-title-revealed/ Arrow: Wild Dog, Artemis, & more weigh in on their character's pasts (Date: 26 Oct 2016) Wild Dog. Artemis. Ragman. Aside from their involvement in Team “Arrow,” fans know virtually nothing about Oliver Queen's new recruits — but that's about to change. Though the three “Arrow” stars were unable to offer too many details, Joe Dinicol, Madison McLaughlin and Rick Gonzales teased some new information about where their characters came from, why they became vigilantes and what affects their dynamic within the team. Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-wild-dog-artemis-more-weigh-in-on-their-characters-pasts/ Stephen Amell reveals how Arrow's hundredth episode begins (Date: 26 Oct 2016) “The hundredth episode of Arrow begins in a very appropriate way: it begins with Oliver running," Amell revealed. "We've had him running into the premiere almost every year, we didn't have him running in this year, but we have him running in the hundredth episode." Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/26/stephen-amell-reveals-how-arrows-hundredth-episode-begins/ Arrow's Stephen Amell talks Casey Jones/Wild Dog comparisons (Date: 26 Oct 2016) Amell has a sense of humor about Wild Dog being in a hockey mask like Casey Jones. "One of the producers asked me, 'Do you think this is too on the nose?' I was like, 'No, becuase why are we doing this show if we're not going to have fun with something like that?'" Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/25/arrows-stephen-amell-talks-casey-jones-wild-dog-comparisons/ The comic book history of the Vigilante (Date: 26 Oct 2016) The article focuses on the Adrian Chase story as that is the version currently popping up on Arrow. His origin was pretty straight forward. His role as a D.A. put him on someone's hit list and his family got killed because of it. By the second issue of the series, Chase was already questioning his choice of taking the law into his own hands. The character was a unique look into the side of vigilantism that doesn't normally get addressed in comics. We see the physical and legal ramifications and even some of the aspects of getting lost in the battle. Link:http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/10/26/comic-book-history-vigilante/ Arrow: Is Adrian Chase the Vigilante already? Actor Jose Segarra weighs in (Date: 26 Oct 2016) In the season 5 premiere of Arrow, Felicity Smoak showed Oliver Queen an image of somebody wearing ski goggles. Supposedly a police artist's sketch of an anonymous vigilante working in Star City, Team Arrow haven't mentioned him again since -- although longtime comic book readers recognized him. The image was that of Adrian Chase -- better known as Vigilante. So if tonight is Vigilante's genesis, what's the deal with that police sketch? We asked Josh Segarra, who plays Chase, to clarify. "That's what I think is going to be interesting, is what parts of the comic are we going to get to put on the show?" He responded when ComicBook.com asked him about the police sketch. "I know the answer to that but the audience don't. But that's what been great is that we're trying to keep it as much as we can in that world, but also keep it exciting because I don't want any plot twists to be a thing where people are expecting something and don't get them.So I'm hoping that we get the right pieces along the way. So now I'm getting to tell that backstory and we get to tell the biggest pieces and get to show him becoming who he is before episode 7."

In this case, it was really simple. I went to the writers' room, this was a pitch on the table, I shot an email off to [DC Comics CCO] Geoff Johns, I got a response back, and Deadshot's in the episode.” Link:https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1568149/how-arrows-surprise-suicide-squad-cameo-came-to-be People's Choice awards (Date: xx month year) Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, and Legends are on the list for best Sci-Fi/Fantasy show; Stephen Amell is up for Sci-Fi/Fantasy actor and social media star.

Neal McDonough — who plays the nefarious head of HIVE — has a recurring role on “DC's Legends of Tomorrow,” another series in The CW's “Arrow”-verse, and there he may just find himself on the side of the angels. Asked if there was any way Darhk could be redeemed, McDonough said, “Just had that conversation. Yes. There is one way that we can redeem him.” As to whether or not we'll see that sometime soon, he added, “At some point, you will.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrowverse-will-offer-damien-darhk-a-chance-for-redemption/ NEXT EPISODE Promo for Next Week: Episode - “Human Target” (Date: 26 Oct 2016) Article:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/26/arrow-season-5-episode-5-human-target-sneak-preview/ Episode: “Human Target” [Season 5 Episode 5] Air Date: Wednesday, November 2, 2016 Summary: When Tobias Church captures and tortures one of Oliver's new recruits, Oliver must turn to an old friend, Christopher Chance AKA the Human Target, for help.
