Nella mattinata di giovedì 3 aprile, Nicola Bertinelli, presidente del Consorzio del Parmigiano Reggiano, è stato ospite in Degiornalist - Gli Spaccanotizie, per discutere del potenziale aumento dei dazi stabiliti dal Presidente Trump sui prodotti europei, in particolare sul Parmigiano Reggiano. Bertinelli ha espresso preoccupazione per il possibile raddoppio dei dazi, che aumenterebbe significativamente il prezzo del formaggio negli Stati Uniti, pur non prevedendo un crollo della domanda. «Il Parmigiano Reggiano è oggi il 7% del totale del mercato del parmigiano negli Stati Uniti e viene oggi venduto con il dazio del 15% a circa $24 alla libra», ci spiega Bertinelli. «Cosa voglio dire? Che chi compra Parmigiano Reggiano negli Stati Uniti vuole acquistare, e in un modo consapevole! Essendo un premium chi lo compera oggi probabilmente continuerà a comprarlo. L'unico effetto sarà l'aumento del costo per i cittadini americani», aggiunge il presidente del Consorzio del Parmigiano Reggiano.

The Huntress Podcast is back to talk about Batman: Huntress Cry For Blood 3, where the creators of this story stop, slow things down, and analyze the true struggle and pain of Helena Bertinelli.  Contact us at www.thehuntresspodcast.com feathersandfoes@gmail.com Bluesky: huestone44.bsky.social www.patreon.com/wrightonnetwork Huntress: Cry for Blood 3 Cover Date: August 2000 Writer: Greg Rucka Artist: Rick Burchett Colorist: Tatjana Wood with Seperations by Jamison Letterer: Clem Robins Associate Editor: Joseph Illidge Editor: Dennis O'Neil So Much To Learn, If She Is To Survive Helena awakens in a cabin in Canada where a man introducing himself as Richard Dragon offers her tea and is repairing her Huntress costume. He says The Butterfly brought her to him. We can only assume he means the Question, who after all is the one that kicked her in the head last issue. Helena gets frustrated and threatens Richard before Vic Sage comes in. He comments that Helena's anger is like looking in a mirror. “We've come to know the world through violence and rage. We wear masks to hide from ourselves as much as others.” Then he reveals he is the Question and formally introduces himself to her. She quietly does the same. Meanwhile in Gotham, Tim Drake/Robin is meeting with Barbara Gordon aka Oracle. Tim doesn't believe the Huntress is the killer; it's too sloppy and she's too smart for this. Barbara is skeptical but Tim insists they have to learn the truth.  Back at the cabin, Vic explains that Richard can teach Helena how to live, not just how to not die. Vic understands how isolated Helena is and that if she returns to Gotham now, she'll soon be dead or be forced to kill. Leaving her to think, Vic tells Richard he's returning to Gotham - he's got some questions. In Gotham, Tim returns to Barbara with newspaper clippings from Helena's past. They acknowledge that while Helena and Bruce both lost their parents at 8, in Helena's case all the Bertinelli's in the city were systematically eliminated, whether they were in the mafia or not. The real question is why and why Helena was left alive. Helena is doing Tai Chi with Richard. He explains, “Passion and rage as fuel. Fear and vengeance as destination. And the faster you move, the more your past drags at you, the more of you that breaks away.” She needs to remember to breathe. As Helena trains she acknowledges to herself that she lost her breath long ago, She's been running scared her whole life, trampling anyone or anything that gets in her way. But blood cries for blood and her family's is calling for her. How dare she refuse that? Later inspecting her costume, she tells Richard how the Huntress scares her. He says she should, that Huntress is a killer. But also that Helena no longer needs to don the mask, to be someone else. She already is the Huntress. Vic finally returns to take Helena back to Gotham. She seems calmer and more at peace. As the two walk down the mountain, Vic lets her know he stopped by Helena's apartment to help out with bills and chores and noticed it's being watched.  She's not surprised. As they sit at a little town's bus stop, Vic asks her to tell the story of how she became the Huntress. Helena says: “It started in Sicily…”

Il Parmigiano Reggiano è un'eccellenza italiana nel mondo, nonché uno dei prodotti gastronomici nostrani maggiormente soggetti a contraffazione. Nicola Bertinelli, presidente del Consorzio Parmigiano Reggiano, è stato ospite delle Donne al Volante martedì 29 agosto per aiutare Liliana Russo e Katia De Rossi a distinguere il formaggio autentico da quello falso . «Il Parmigiano Reggiano è uno dei cibi più contraffatti. Ogni anno ne vengono prodotte 170 mila tonnellate, di cui il 47% viene esportato ma nel mondo esiste 15 volte "Parmesan" rispetto a quello che esportiamo».

Ever since she grew up on TV screens on the Norman Lear sitcom “One Day at a Time,” Valerie Bertinelli has been the kind of star that people think they know. In her memoir, “Enough Already,” Valerie treats her life literally as an open book, including the decades-long obsession with dieting that she's aiming the book's title at. Valerie talks to Tom about how the last few years, which included the death of her ex-husband Eddie Van Halen, have made her reassess her priorities and find joy.

Nel primo pomeriggio di giovedì 16 febbraio, con i nostri Degiornalist – Fabiana Paolini e Claudio Chiari – è stato ospite Nicola Bertinelli, Presidente del Consorzio Parmigiano Reggiano, per parlare del primato nella classifica dei migliori formaggi al mondo: «La gioia è tanta, sappiamo che il Parmigiano Reggiano è il più buono del mondo, ma farcelo riconoscere ancora una volta dall'estero è una grandissima soddisfazione». Ma non tutti sono d'accordo: secondo l'atlante mondiale della cucina tradizionale TasteAtlas nelle prime 10 posizioni ci sono ben 8 formaggi italiani, mentre il primo francese si trova solamente al tredicesimo, cosa che ha suscitato polemiche da parte della Francia circa l'attendibilità di tale classifica.UN PATRIMONIO DA TUTELARE - Secondo il ministro dell'Agricoltura e Sovranità alimentare è un dovere difendere questo patrimonio italiano, anche per tutelarlo dalle imitazioni. «Momenti come questi ti fanno capire come noi italiani abbiamo un patrimonio unico al mondo - dichiara Bertinelli - Dobbiamo però prendercene cura, perché non è detto che rimanga per sempre, quindi l'Italia dev'esserne consapevole e deve utilizzare l'agroalimentare italiano come strumento per ripartire e crescere».VALORI ENERGETICI - Un ulteriore motivo di vanto è costituito dai valori energetici: come spiegato da Bertinelli, «mangiando 100 grammi di Parmigiano Reggiano, si assumono circa 32 grammi di proteine, al pari di 100 grammi di carne bovina, con la differenza che dopo circa 40 minuti c'è già l'assimilazione, diversamente dalla 4 ore richieste per digerire la carne. Quindi, al di là dell'essere buono, fa anche bene, come fanno bene tutti i formaggi della nostra Italia».

En el programa de hoy vamos a conocer en profundidad la historia de Helena Bertinelli, más conocida como "La cazadora"

Actress Valerie Bertinelli impersonated Elon Musk on Twitter this weekend, under the guise to make a point about his newly proposed verification system. Bertinelli first changed her name on Saturday, shortly after Twitter rolled out the billionaire's controversial paid-verification system, which requires users to shell out $7.99 a month to receive a blue checkmark. Several high profile users have expressed plans to leave Twitter as the new system allows for impersonators to easily act as politicians, journalists and celebrities. As expected, Elon took time to address the controversy in an early morning video post. Listen to Lamont & Tonelli Monday through Friday, 6-10am, on 107.7 The Bone in the San Francisco Bay Area.

What's with reboots & refashioning movies and TV series of the 70s, 80s & 90s? Will audiences expect reboots to surpass the originals? One Day at a Time ran for 204 episodes through the late 70s and early 80s. Producer Norman Lear used the novelty of a working single mother of 2 teen to address coming-of-age social topics. Netflix & Lear have "refashioned" the premise with modern twists. Leading this new One Day at a Time series is 86 year old Rita Moreno, an award-winning American treasure and our most prominent Latina actress. Books mentioned Rita Moreno's Memoir Norman Lear's Even This I Get to Experience Mackenzie Phillips High On Arrival  Mackenzie Phillips Hopeful Healing: Essays on Managing Recovery Valerie Bertinelli's four books

In the promo, Dinah Drake, Curtis Holt and Rene Ramirez go on to form their own super team. However, this quickly leads to strife with Oliver's original team, who stands by his side. In addition to fighting James' team, Oliver will ultimately come to blows with his former recruits. The teaser also contains a few other surprising reveals, such as Oliver's daring rescue of his son William and William's trip to the bunker. https://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-6-midseason-trailer/    CW boss 'optimistic' that Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, and Legends will return (Date: 07 Jan 2018) Network president Mark Pedowitz is “optimistic” that Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow will return next season, he told EW at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour Sunday. “At the moment, it's a little too soon. We're noted for announcing at winter TCA that we're picking up shows, we just weren't ready to do that yet. A couple more weeks [and] we'll probably get around to it. I'm pretty confident we'll see them all back.” http://ew.com/tv/2018/01/07/arrow-flash-supergirl-legends-tomorrow-renewals/   Could The Huntress Return?(Date: 19 Jan 2018) When Oliver asked why Jerry couldn't just ask his cousin, Helena Bertinelli/Huntress (Jessica De Gouw) for help, Jerry remarked that she'd "gone underground." "I want to say, 'Absolutely,'" executive producer Marc Guggenheim said about Huntress' potential return. "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." http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/01/19/arrow-season-6-episode-10-the-huntress-helena-bertinelli/   GENERAL DC NEWS:   Legends of Tomorrow adds Keiynan Lonsdale as series regular (Date: 19 Jan 2018) Welcome to the Waverider, Kid Flash! Following the departure of Franz Drameh and Victor Garber, Keiynan Lonsdale has joined the cast of DC's Legends of Tomorrow as a series regular, EW has learned. Executive producer Phil Klemmer said in a statement, “We loved working with Keiynan in our series premiere — the episode in which we learned that in between seasons 2 and 3 he had been fighting crime in Central City with Nick Zano's Nate Heywood. So when his character stepped away from Flash to go on walkabout, after being dumped and feeling somewhat estranged from his family and team, we knew that Wally West would fit in perfectly on Legends. After all, our show is about a collection of unlikely heroes who all began their journeys questioning who they are and where they belong — only to find those answers while traveling through time and having wacky adventures. So now, Wally West is not only back in the company of old friends from the Arrowverse, he's fighting alongside a former enemy and career arsonist Mick Rory/Dom Purcell. By the end of this season, Wally will learn that the Legends have a different definition of what it means to be a hero.” http://ew.com/tv/2018/01/19/legends-of-tomorrow-adds-keiynan-lonsdale-as-series-regular/ The Flash: Elongated Man's Super Costume Revealed in New Photo (Date: 17 Jan 2018) In the photo, Dibney sports a burgundy jacket with white accents. The jacket has a gauge on the left shoulder, not unlike the one worn by Firestorm. He also wears a pair of goggles, with black eye makeup underneath to obscure his face so that he won't be easily recognizable. The costume is likely of Cisco's design, since it will have to stretch and conform to Dibney's metahuman abilities. https://www.cbr.com/the-flash-elongated-man-costume-2/ Arrow Cast and Crew Interviews:   Arrow's Echo Kellum Reveals Why the Stakes Are Higher Than Ever Before (Date: 18 Jan 2018) Speaking to CBR, Mr. Terrific himself Echo Kellum offered some insight into how Team Arrow's big split will affect his character moving forward. Fortunately for fans, the divide won't impact Curtis' happy-go-lucky attitude, though it will bring a lot of conflict into his relationship with his business partner Felicity Smoak. Kellum also teased his favorite scene from the midseason premiere, shared his hopes for Curtis' love life and explained why Cayden James' supervillain team will raise the stakes like never before. https://www.cbr.com/arrow-echo-kellum-divided-interview/ Arrow's Echo Kellum Talks The Importance of Black Superheroes (Date: 18 Jan 2018) "I think for myself and for Curtis, it is something we're both very proud of," Kellum told ComicBook.com. "I'm so proud and I feel so fortunate to get to portray a hero like this, an inclusive hero, you know, part of the LGBT community, a person of color who's a person of, you know, endless optimism and positivity. And it's a role that I love to play and as far as Curtis, I know he takes a lot of pride in that, too, you know? "I personally, I feel like, you know, what a time to be alive where, you know, I get to see so many people, I can be on TV, I get to portray that," he said. "I get to help people of color, people of the LGBTQIA community so like they can do it too. And for me, that was so important growing up” http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/01/19/arrow-black-lightning-echo-kellum-black-superheroes/   NEXT EPISODE   Link to Promo: (Date: 18 Jan 2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNXBYnNQjLU   Episode: “We Fall” [Season 6 Episode 11] Air Date: Thursday, January 25, 2018 Summary: William gets caught in the cross hairs as Oliver attempts to stop Cayden James with just the original Team Arrow.

With Team Arrow "Divided", the heroes may not win the day. As Cayden James rolls out the next part of his plan by acquiring Bertinelli property, Oliver does his best to track down his foe. Curtis, Rene, and Dinah have decided to work together as their own team and seem to think they can handle this threat. There are some lucky breaks though. Felicity and Curtis may have managed to fix the chip-implant that would help Diggle, and in the process discover that James had them bugged the whole time. With this new information they may have the advantage of surprise. Unfortunately, Oliver is just outmanned. He's talks to his former teammates, but the trust has been too damaged. Even when they reveal that Dinah's former beau, and current Vigilante, is working with James, they still won't budge. And that leaves everyone all over the place, deciding who to fight for, who to fight against, and just exactly why the Bertinelli's never seem to win. Jay and Josh fight for the last Crogurt on this week's Green Justice: An Arrow Podcast! Listen in and justice will be served...to your MP3 player!

In CRY FOR BLOOD, we get to see the rise and fall of the Bertinelli family, Helena's early training, and her first encounter with Batman (MERRY CHRISTMAS!!). We also get to see Helena stand her ground and defend her methodology against basically every dude in Gotham who thinks they know the best way to superhero. Join us as we debate the ethics of murder-by-proxy, breaking and entering (with the best of intentions), and how Nightwing earned the title "Most Lovable Sociopath."

Shoots alarm; both he and Anatoly have to run Flashbacks: Share your thoughts Oliver plans to go back to island in 48 hours Anatoly wants to send Oliver out with a bang They steal medicine to help people Ollie:   Prometheus is right - I'm broken; I'm beyond redemption; I ruin all who comes in contact with me Tells team to stand down; it's over Killing Chase should be on my soul, not on anyone else Brings in Bratva The foundation of my crusade is based on a lie After he listens to Diggle, gets the team back together to stop Bratva Uses guns, not arrows Feels he has to earn the Green Arrow mantle back Gives team spots in the Arrowcave for their suits Diggle The true hero of the episode Won't give up on Oliver Leads team to stop Bratva and to stop Chase Works to stop Ollie from making a mistake he cannot come back from Dedicated five years to crusade; “I'm your brother” Knows who Ollie really is Not about saving Chase, about saving Ollie's soul Told by Oliver can get redemption by being Spartan; tells Oliver he can get redemption by being Green Arrow Ask for help; don't have to be alone Thea Call me if things get too bad Felicity Brushes off Diggle - hey, let Ollie use Bratva, whatever Runs to Helix; Helix knows she is Overwatch and Curtis is Mr. Terrific Learns Chase uses tech to masks face on camera Helix has her and Curtis break into Kord Uses sedative to put down security guard; also, no mask, no gloves, but great hair Gets footage of Chase being Prometheus Quentin Lance Provided excuse for Ollie's absence - meditative retreat Hates Chase Support Curtis / Mr. Terrific Uses T-spheres to hack Chase Breaks into Helix by putting tracking nanites in Felicity's pancakes Breaks into Kord with Felicity (no mask, no gloves) Rene / Wild Dog Banned from Mayor's office because he threatened to pop Chase Dinah Drake / Black Canary Canary cry The new Diggle Gets to take evidence that Chase is Prometheus to SCPD Artemis Traitor Rory / Ragman Walkabout D.A.

Not in episode Lingering Questions / Issues Where does Ollie live? Bertinelli mention - 4 times Kord mentioned a lot lately ARROW NEWS: Spoiler Room: Scoop on Supergirl, Grey's Anatomy, Blindspot, and more (Date: 24 March 2017) Arrow finale scoop! — As the season heads toward the ultimate showdown between Oliver and Chase, we're going to be seeing a very different season finale this year. “We're not going to destroy the city,” EP Marc Guggenheim teases. “We're not even going to threaten the city. In fact, I can also tell you the finale doesn't even take place in the city. Finally, the citizens of Star City can breathe easily in May.” Wherever the finale takes place, Guggenheim adds, “You can expect a good number of returning characters, characters you haven't seen in a while, back in the episode.” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/03/24/spoiler-room-supergirl-greys-anatomy-blindspot/   ARROW: CAPTAIN BOOMERANG ACTOR TEASES RETURN (Date: 25 March 2017) The classic DC Comics rogue, better known as Captain Boomerang, was introduced on the third season of “Arrow,” in the two-part crossover with “The Flash,” but hasn't been shown since. However, actor Nick Tarabay suggests that could change soon. “Who really misses this guy?” the actor wrote in a tweet containing a photo of Boomerang. “Cause as you know….What goes around ALWAYS comes back around.” When Boomerang was last seen, he was incarcerated in the secret A.R.G.U.S. supermax prison on Lian Yu. How or when Boomerang might escape will have to remain mystery as of now. Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-captain-boomerang-return/   Marc Guggenheim says ‘Arrow's' Vigilante is someone we already know (Date: 26 March 2017) Vigilante has made a bad habit of getting in Oliver's (Stephen Amell) way — and the Green Arrow's way for that matter — all year, but no matter how often he shows up, we're no closer to unmasking him. According to executive producer Marc Guggenheim, that's a mystery for Season 6. We know who it is, but we were kind of intrigued by the idea of having a mystery that led into the next season,” Guggenheim told us at Paleyfest 2017. “We were excited at the prospect of just letting this play out for a little while longer, and it gives us something cool to do in Season 6. “As a general rule, I'm not a fan of mystery characters who when you take off the mask the audience goes, ‘What a minute, I've never seen that person before in my life,'” Guggenheim jokes. “I'm probably not spoiling anything by saying whoever's underneath the Vigilante mask, you've seen that person before.” Link:http://screenertv.com/television/arrow-marc-guggenheim-vigilantes-identity-someone-we-know/   ARROW: KATIE CASSIDY WILL RETURN AS SERIES REGULAR FOR SEASON 6 (Date: 27 March 2017) Laurel Lance is back! Sort of. Though her character died in Season 4, longtime “Arrow” star Katie Cassidy will return, but with a twist: she will play Black Siren, Earth-2's evil version of Laurel, as a series regular in Season 6. Additionally, Black Siren will feature in the last two episodes of Season 5. “One of the things that most excites us about ‘Arrow' is that we go where the story takes us. Last year, the story took us to the tragic death of Laurel Lance. This year, our midseason finale reintroduced us to Laurel's doppelgänger, Black Siren,” explained executive producer Marc Guggenheim in a statement. “We were so taken by Katie's fearless interpretation of this character that we knew her story was not yet finished. We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome Katie back to ‘Arrow' as Black Siren, though as her appearances on ‘Arrow' and ‘DC's Legends of Tomorrow' this season show, she never really left the family.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-katie-cassidy-series-regular-season-6-black-siren/   Arrow: What's really going on with Helix? (Date: 28 March 2017) “We are going to see somebody [else],” Mericle teases. “What's interesting about it is he's not actually at Helix right now, so there's going to be a big episode where we find out who this person is, and Felicity is involved in helping him. It's really messed up.” But Felicity's dealings with Helix will also help her to better understand what Team Arrow — Oliver (Stephen Amell) in particular — have been facing over the last five seasons. “Felicity's use of Pandora is very similar to Oliver and Diggle's [David Ramsey] use of violence,” EP Marc Guggenheim says. “It's the hacker equivalent. You're using violence for a good means, but violence is not necessarily a good thing. So what's the cost to Felicity in doing that? We don't want to turn Felicity into a killer, but we wanted to explore how Felicity has been spending basically five years with Team Arrow now, and she's been spending five years with people who solve problems by not just resorting to violence, but by resorting to means that are morally questionable. Felicity is going to start discovering what happens when you fight fire with fire — do you get burned?” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/03/28/arrow-felicity-helix-spoilers/   Legends of Tomorrow boss, cast on that shocking Felicity twist (Date: 28 March 2017) Marc Guggenheim told EW, “It's always nice when you can pull in a character from one of the other shows. We talked about a lot of different ideas, and I said, ‘Since this is an alternate reality and we'll probably never have the opportunity to do so again, I think it would be fun if we did Felicity as a superhero,' because I've said it before, I'll say it again: I have zero intention of ever putting Felicity in a mask and costume on Arrow. There's two lines in the sand that I've drawn for Arrow for myself,” Guggenheim says. “I can't speak for Greg [Berlanti] or for Wendy [Mericle], but for as long as I'm involved with the show, the two things I never want to do is kill off Thea [Willa Holland] and put Felicity in a mask and a costume. Those, to me, are two lines that I just think are a bridge too far. Thea, because we've taken so many family members away from Oliver, and Felicity because when you put a character like that in a costume, I think it diminishes who that character is and it makes the idea of superheroics seem silly.” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/03/28/legends-tomorrow-felicity-superhero-death/   Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Once, Lucifer, Scorpion, Arrow, Grimm, Suits, Mr. Robot, Chicago Med and More (Date: 30 March 2017) Any hint as to when Arrow's Thea will return? — Willa Holland will be on hand for the final three of this season's five remaining episodes. “Thea is the daughter of sociopaths, which is one of the biggest challenges any human being can really face,” notes co-showrunner Wendy Mericle, “so she's going to grappling with that and trying to understand: What is this in her that makes her so kind of Moira-esque, and how is she going to manage it? Ultimately, she and Oliver are going to come to the same conclusion about how to do that, by the finale.” Link:http://tvline.com/2017/03/30/once-upon-a-time-season-6-spoilers-snow-charming-sleeping-curse/   GENERAL DC TV NEWS Lynda Carter Confirms That She Is Playing A Durlan on Supergirl (Date: 28 March 2017) The episode of Supergirl, titled "Distant Sun," provided the audience with a much clearer look at the "true form" of President Olivia Marsdin, who had been revealed early this season as a shape-shifting alien. In the privacy of her own office Marsdin was able to transform completely into a quasi-reptilian alien form. Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/03/28/lynda-carter-confirms-that-she-is-playing-a-durlan-on-supergirl/   Will The Thinker Be The Flash's Season 4 Big Bad? (Date: 28 March 2017) When Abra Kadabra was talking to The Flash about his most dangerous foes, he rattled off a number of familiar names, including Zoom and Eobard Thawne...and one less-familiar one (at least to the TV audience): "DeVoe." Longtime comic book readers would recognize that name: Clifford DeVoe is a longtime Flash and Titans villain better known as The Thinker. Created in 1943, The Thinker is one of The Flash's earliest villains. Originally a foe to Jay Garrick, DeVoe battled three generations of Flashes before his death in The Flash #134 in 1998. After his death, though, his brain patterns were used to create an AI that went on to become an antihero. Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/03/29/will-the-thinker-be-the-flashs-season-4-big-bad-/    LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: EXPECT NEW CHARACTERS IN SEASON 3 (Date: 28 March 2017) According to “Legends of Tomorrow” executive producer and showrunner Phil Klemmer, adding new characters is “for sure” again the plan for season three of the DC Comics-based series, which has already been ordered by The CW — although exactly which new faces will join the show may not yet be totally cemented. “We haven't fully pitched it, but we've got great ideas, and hopefully the studio and network agree,” Klemmer told CBR. “But so much of the show is working well this year. You just want to play to your strengths, and keep having fun.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrow-expect-new-characters-in-season-3/   LEGENDS OF TOMORROW PLAN TO RESTORE REALITY IN SEASON FINALE PROMO (Date: 29 March 2017) The finale, “Aruba,”  will not air at its regular time, but will debut Tuesday, April 4th at 8:00 EST.

I think the reason they broke up was her difficulty to see things from Oliver's perspective. They broke up fundamentally because she didn't trust Oliver, and the reason she didn't trust Oliver is she couldn't understand why he made the decisions he made.” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/03/17/spoiler-room-once-upon-time-arrow-riverdale/   Did Arrow's Stephen Amell Tease The Return Of Deathstroke & The Island? (Date: 20 March 2017) Stephen Amell took to social media to hint the return of the Island. The actor posted a familiar photo with the caption, “Hello old friend.” The picture itself shows Slade Wilson's Deathstroke mask placed upon a stake. The monument is one that was left on the island, and an arrow is shown sticking through the mask's left eye slit.

Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/03/18/the-bruce-springsteen-songs-of-arrow/   Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on Grey's, Bones, Arrow, Grimm, Once, Bates Motel, Hawaii Five-0, Walking Dead and More (Date: 22 March 2017) Question: Have any scoop on Arrow‘s Olicity to tease? — Though Oliver has bigger fish to fry for the foreseeable future, Stephen Amell had this to say about Oliver's take on Felicity's recent secret-keeping: “Look, he does trust her, but that doesn't mean he has to agree with her.” That distinction will be put to the test in Episode 19, which is officially titled “Dangerous Liaisons” but “you could almost call it ‘Team Arrow vs. Team Felicity,'” Amell shared. Felicity and her Helix hackers and Oliver's associates “are both after the same objective, but after it in different ways. And that pushes us into a real exploration of why Oliver and Felicity have been behaving the way that they've been behaving this year.” Link:http://tvline.com/2017/03/22/bones-series-finale-447-mystery-spoilers-season-12/ GENERAL DC TV NEWS DC's Legends of Tomorrow Heads to "Aruba" For Season Finale Synopsis (Date: 17 March 2017) The episode airs on April 4th, 2017.

On his Twitter, executive producer Marc Guggenheim unveiled the establishing shot for “Doomworld,” the penultimate episode of Season 2. The photo shows a structure not unlike STAR Labs; however, the building has a rounder shape with concave windows, making it look almost like a helmet… much like the Hall of Doom from “Super Friends.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrow-legion-of-doom-headquarters/   THE FLASH: New Stills From Season 3 Episode 18: "Abra Kadabra;" Plus SUPERGIRL "Duet" Soundtrack Released (Date: 22 March 2017) After last night's musical spectacular, WatchTower Music, in collaboration with DC Entertainment, has released an official soundtrack album featuring music from the awesome two-part crossover between The CW's two highest-rated programs: The Flash & Supergirl.

Yes, please! Steven Carl Wait what? Why would they choose a villain without super speed?             Starling Tribune Because they've done that each season. Remember, not every   viewer is a comic fan, so they have to mix things up to keep viewers.             Steven Carl I was being silly. You can't have effectively the same bad guy each season.

Anatoly - you are who you are, you don't need to name it; what are you doing with your voice? 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?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

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.

Roy Phillips‏ @MadbanditRoy -  @smolsivanarmy @StarlingTribune It would make sense, but why expose Ollie? The Starling Tribune‏ @StarlingTribune -   @MadbanditRoy @smolsivanarmy We never got to find out what Susan planned to do w/info. Roy Phillips‏ @MadbanditRoy -  @StarlingTribune @smolsivanarmy True. I'm just wondering what's Vigilante's motivation, and I think Adrian's not the "real Adrian". kayrennnnn‏ @smolsivanarmy - @MadbanditRoy @StarlingTribune yeah, it seems like there is something up with how he acts, mind control maybe   NEXT EPISODE   Promo for Next Week's Episode - Legends of Tomorrow “Abominations” (Date: 27 Oct 2016) Article:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQIYvf1E2x0   Episode:   “Abominations” [Season 2 Episode 4] Air Date:        Thursday, November 3, 2016 Summary:      The Legends find themselves fighting for survival against Confederate zombies in the Civil War.

China White (bo staff and cry) Terrific double teamed by Warner and Cupid Green Arrow deals with hired henchmen ACU comes and lets Green Arrow go Lots of bullets. Very little actual damage Flashbacks: Share your thoughts Ollie and Anatoly at the hospital Ollie plans to take down Gregor Gregor shows up at hospital Ollie and Anatoly get trapped Suspense ruined by previous scenes with Anatoly alive Ollie:   Tries to convince Claybourne's mistress to give him son's name Playfully dismisses Susan's question about him being Green Arrow Mentions under breath that all of his distractions will get him impeached (early scene with Lance) Tells Captain Pike to not go after GA - 1st time: you know, because Asks Captain Pike to give Green Arrow a chance - he knows the Green Arrow, he feels guilty about killing Malone, and he's a hero Feeling guilty over killing Billy Malone; flees ACU Upset at Thea - she made a choice to destroy Susan, not a mistake; this is something Momma Moira would do; time for a heart-to-heart talk (off-screen) Decides to go after ToBL as GA; stop them from using Church's money to start their own criminal empire Diggle Ollie's backup at Westfield home (is this the same house from The Flash?) Support during fights Thea Doesn't like that Susan can out Ollie as the Green Arrow Has Felicity hack Susan's laptop; plants false evidence that paints Susan as a plagiarizer - without telling Ollie Ollie's assistant is her informant Felicity Ms. Hacker McHackerton Gets a lot of info from Ollie's visit to Westfield; needs time to go through it Hacks Susan's laptop Gives Dinah Dinah's mask Quentin Lance Wants to arrest people, forgetting he's Deputy Mayor Gets time in the field Gives Ollie and Dinah the okay for Dinah to be Black Canary Feels guilty after Warner tells him she's turning back to crime after learning he worked with Darhk Gives Ollie a pep talk - need to let nothing stop him from doing job as Green Arrow Curtis Improved his jacket with Kevlar Lets Wild Dog knock out guy because it would hurt his wrist Mom doesn't like him being gay Wild Dog Support Recognizes Cupid - probably because she arrested him Dinah Drake / Black Canary Sworn in as cop - that was fast, guess SCPD is low on recruits Gets okay from Lance - he tells her that Laurel wanted someone to carry on the work Uses cry during fight Artemis Traitor Ragman Out there somewhere D.A. Adrian Chase Doesn't like it that ACU is after Green Arrow Doesn't like it that Captain Pike gets original ME report Doesn't like it that Ollie is getting impeached; he could be in trouble too because helped with coverup Susan Williams Asks Ollie if he is the Green Arrow Accuses Ollie of getting her fired Tells Ollie the evidence she has - tattoo, photos Has the lamest of all passwords - 1234 - what decent journalist gets hacked so easily? Bratva The bath house is Gregor's territory Anatoly is a Captain Gregor has an awful haircut Prometheus New developments: Claybourne's mistress is Amanda Westfield and lives in Opal City Has access to ME's original report; mails it - letter has stamp of Opal City (so he took it to his home town and mailed it? So is he chilling out in Opal City before resuming destroying Ollie?) Amanda refuses to give up son's name; hasn't seen son in four years; says son's father killed by monster Leaks evidence of Ollie's coverup of Malone's murder to press Bribing people? Works in police department? Works with ME? Known facts: 30 years old? Ollie's past and that he is Arrow; knows about The List How to fight like Ollie; studied with person Ollie did while in Russia Has a tolerance to Diazepam (Valium); can shake off getting sedated Where and how to get Ollie's old arrows to make his own Team Flash - how they keep metas at Star Labs; Black Siren Sara, the Legends, the Waverider, time travel, and parallel worlds Faked Lyla's voice to lure Diggle Michelle's List O'Suspects: (I'm keeping this active until the mask comes off) Tommy Merlyn Susan Williams (investigating Ollie) Robert Queen - too old? Claybourne's son Adrian Chase (but more likely to become Vigilante) Helena Bertinelli Isabel Rochev Mckenna Hall Shado Talia al Ghul Roy - too young? Some guy from the Bratva Some new character Lingering Questions / Issues Where does Ollie live? Bertinelli mentioned again - this better pay off ARROW NEWS:   Arrow Episode 18 Gets A Title And Starts Production (Date: 18 Feb 2017) Executive producer Marc Guggenheim shared the cover page of the episode 18 script on Twitter, stating that it has started production. “Disbanded” is written by Rebecca Bellotto and directed by J.J. 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.

Supergirl - "Exodus" – As Alex searches for Jeremiah (guest star Dean Cain) and Kara investigates a series of alien kidnappings, the sisters realize they must break the rules to foil a new Cadmus plot. 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. Link:http://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrow-jrr-tolkien/   FLASH SET PICS TEASE MYSTERY CHARACTER'S ARRIVAL, KEVIN SMITH'S RETURN (Date: 20 Feb 2017) It's worth pointing out that Kevin Smith was seen in the area of filming as well, leading some to speculate that the director is stepping behind the camera one more time.

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.

Diggle Roughs up lowlifes for intel Tells Dinah that wanting a normal life is good, to take small steps Thea Vomits a little at the thought of Ollie with Susan Williams Makes Ollie step up as Mayor Felicity Keeps on working while others debate around her Using Pandora to find Claybourne's mistress Talking about things doesn't help unless it has a purpose and meaning; debating is not enough Quentin Lance Cops want fewer people have guns Makes Ollie step up as Mayor Feels bad not realizing guy was the shooter before it began Curtis Guns need to regulated for safety reasons Need to talk about things in a healthy way to come up with solutions Finds out where Rene's daughter is Rene / Wild Dog Officially Lance's assistant If bad guys have guns, then I need guns too Guns are easy to buy, even if it is illegal for him to own one (this is true; a dishonorable discharge is considered to be a felony; https://www.guntrustlawyer.com/2010/09/dishonorable-discharge-and-nfa.html) Has given up on seeing daughter Dinah Drake / Black Canary Thinks it's okay for civilians to have guns for protection Not sure how to have a normal life after being on a mission of vengeance for three years Gets a studio apartment (with a garden!) and applies to SCPD Artemis Traitor Ragman Gone A. Adrian Chase Shot in shoulder during attack on City Hall Wants Ollie to use personal relationship with Susan to get her to back off about Malone Susan Williams Absent this week Bratva Absent this week Prometheus New developments: The search for Claybourne's mistress has been going on for 3 months; narrowed to Illinois; Felicity is impressed by her ability to hide Known facts: 30 years old? Ollie's past and that he is Arrow; knows about The List How to fight like Ollie; studied with person Ollie did while in Russia Has a tolerance to Diazepam (Valium); can shake off getting sedated Where and how to get Ollie's old arrows to make his own Team Flash - how they keep metas at Star Labs; Black Siren Sara, the Legends, the Waverider, time travel, and parallel worlds Faked Lyla's voice to lure Diggle Michelle's List O'Suspects: (I'm keeping this active until the mask comes off) Tommy Merlyn Susan Williams (investigating Ollie) Robert Queen - too old?

Third mention of Bertinelli - now head of family dead - will we see Helena?   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. After Vigilante attacks Oliver while he's acting as the mayor, Diggle (David Ramsey) leads the team in a mission to stop Vigilante once and for all.

"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. Link:http://tvline.com/2017/02/13/arrow-season-5-katie-cassidy-contract-status-willa-holland/   Will Arrow Bring Back Suicide Squad Characters? 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." Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/02/16/arrow-thea-queen-willa-holland-season-five/   Arrow EP Teases Prometheus's Next Move (Date: 15 Feb 2017) According to one of the show's executive producers, however, that is all about to change with next week's episode, entitled 'The Sin-Eater'. 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." Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/02/16/arrow-marc-guggenheim-prometheus/   Arrow EP: Oliver Will Make Star City Better -- As Mayor (Date: 15 Feb 2017) "One of the things we went into season five with the mindset of is Oliver's mayor, so without it turning into The West Wing, how are we going to find ways to have Oliver be active as mayor, and to everyone's surprise, be a good mayor, end up being a good mayor," explained executive producer Marc Guggenheim during a screening of tonight's episode, "Spectre of the Gun." "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." Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/02/15/arrow-ep-oliver-will-make-star-city-better--as-mayor/   Arrow: Marc Guggenheim On What Makes Oliver Different From his Villains (Date: 15 Feb 2017) This season on Arrow, Ollie has been even more affected by that conundrum. 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." Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/02/16/arrow-marc-guggenheim-oliver-and-villains/   The New Black Canary Gets A Mask In These New Images From Next Week's ARROW (Date: 16 Feb 2017) With Laurel Lance unlikely to return at any point in the near future, Dinah Drake looks set to take over the Black Canary mantle in Arrow. However, The CW series is taking a slow burn approach to that, but she finally gets a mask in these new images.

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.

The Barbie-like action figures include Diana in various different outfits (and on a horse), as well as her mother Queen Hippolyta and Steve Trevor.

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. The crossover begins April 19 in Batman #21.

NCM will help stores tag their details onto a 15 or 30 second DC Universe: Rebirth ad and place it before appropriate movies playing. Stores can then submit expenses to DC Comics to get reimbursements of up to half their costs.

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. "I like the idea that she can be her own person, and she can be strong and feminine, own the company, without pining over men — Oliver or any other man."

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. He also said that he was skeptical at first of the idea of bringing another character back from the dead, but that they're now several episodes down the line in production and that he thinks the story that comes out of it is a good one.

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. Famously, he can only be stopped and returned to his home dimension by tricking him into saying his name backward (“Kltpzyxm”).   Link:http://www.cbr.com/mister-mxyzptlk-to-materialize-on-supergirl/    How “Supergirl” And A Super-Duper Gay Comic Book Clerk Helped Save A Girl's Life (Date: 04 Dec 2016) Mary, a “super-duper gay” employee at a comic book shop in Indiana, shared an encounter she had with a young woman. 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. The girl didn't have money for all of the titles, so the employee bought them for her.

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.' Just the idea of starting the Sara/Alex [Chyler Leigh] shippers going … Link:http://comicsalliance.com/supergirl-legends-crossover-deleted-scenes/ Fallout from the Superhero Crossover (Date: 3 Dec 2016) WILL SUPERGIRL VISIT EARTH-1 AGAIN? | Now that Kara has a way to communicate and travel across Earths, crossovers are certainly “easier” to execute, Kreisberg says. “The next time we do it, it means it doesn't necessarily have to be because Oliver and Barry need Kara; it could be because Kara needs them.” However, the EP notes that nothing is in the works, seeing as how “we just barely survived this one. 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.

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." Dinah Laurel Lance - Full-naming your fiancee while doing cutesy talk isn't entirely unheard-of, but here it's a nice little reminder that, yes, Laurel is actually Dinah Lance from the comics, the longtime Justice League and Birds of Prey member known as the Black Canary. Laurel's necklace is the Black Canary logo from the comics Oliver and Company - The reference, in case you missed it the first hundred times we used it or when Cisco explained it this week, is to a Disney animated film from the '80s. It was a musical comedy about a group of streetwise dogs who take in a small, orange cat, in which the soundtrack was primarily driven by Billy Joel, whose biggest fan is probably Arrow EP Marc Guggenheim. Per Guggenheim, he made the Oliver and Company joke in the script, but it was actor Carlos Valdes who added the Billy Joel nod. The Hozen - In the pilot, Oliver gave Thea a Hōzen (宝箭) -- an arrowhead-shaped stone he found around the neck of a dead Japanese soldier on Lian Yu. In the pilot, he told her -- as she tells him this week -- that in Japanese Buddhism, the hōzen symbolizes reconnecting. Palmer's Buyout Offer - The Palmer Technologies buyout of Queen Consolidated came in season 3 of the TV show, but apparently here, Palmer was hovering around Queen as soon as he heard Robert Queen was thinking of stepping down. Van Horn Industries - Van Horn Industries is the name of a company owned by the family of Andrew Van Horn, a superhero known as Gunfire. Gunfire was created during the Bloodlines attack, a '90s attempt to create a bunch of new superheroes by giving them a common starting point: an alien invasion where some of the victims of parasitic, cannibalistic aliens survived and gained powers. Hood Sketch - Along with Diggle under the hood, we get a look at the original Hood sketch and newspaper clippings that made up part of the Starling City Police Department's Rip Hunter-style chalkboard looking for the Arrow in season 1. MY NAME IS OLIVER QUEEN - When Oliver starts to introduce himself, he goes with "My name is Oliver Queen," just like he does in the voice over at the start of nearly every episode. Felicity hilariously cuts him off with "everyone knows who you are." Which serves the story -- he's a famous, wealthy socialite -- and the meta-text of the episode. CHICAGO MED - That roundabout thing about how Tommy is a doctor in Chicago now, and he just couldn't break away from his long shifts to come visit for the wedding? That's a whole lot of meta, talking about actor Colin Donnell, who played Tommy in season 1 and has periodically come back in flashbacks and other such stories. Donnell couldn't come for the hundredth episode because he's now a regular on Chicago Med, which is in production and couldn't spare him. THE PATH NOT TAKEN - This story seem familiar? Like last year's Supergirl episode "For the Girl Who Has Everything," or the "Flashpoint" episode of The Flash? What about "Perchance to Dream" from Batman: The Animated Series? THE FERN - It came back! Was seen when Ollie enters Diggle's Arrowcave ARROW NEWS: Heroes & Villains Fan Fest: Arrow Cast Panel Recap (Date: 19 Nov 2016) Highlights from the Arrow panel include: David Ramsey thankful he has a new helmet, Willa Holland misses wearing the Speedy outfit, and John Jr. is suppose to tie into the Conner Hawke storyline.

Guggenheim admits to having some regrets: “The truth is, I don't think I've ever been involved with an hour of television on any show where there hasn't been something I wanted to take back,” he says. “Doing 23 episodes a year, you're just constantly running, so nothing ever turns out exactly the way you want it to. In other words, my list of regrets is actually incredibly long; it's 100 episodes long. I'd say probably my biggest regret is I wish we had allowed the Oliver-Felicity storyline in season 4 to unfold at a more natural pace. We had set these tentpoles at the beginning of the season, and we were a bit too rigorous on how we hit them. That was a case where the planning overtook the storytelling. We didn't do things as naturally and as elegantly as we should have.” Link:http://www.ew.com/article/2016/11/29/arrow-100-episode-spoilers   ‘Arrow' EP Marc Guggenheim On Tonight's 100th Episode, CW's Mega-Crossover & What's Next (Date: 30 Nov 2016) Reflecting on Arrow's future and past, as well as the labyrinth and rewards of the multi-show saga, Guggenheim spoke with Deadline about how “Invasion” came together as a crossover and a stand-alone episode of the Vancouver-filmed show. The EP, who developed the show with Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, also hinted at where things could go next for the archer and his team as Arrow heads towards next week's Season 5 winter finale, who we may see more of from the show's past, and what the next crossover could be like.

In the interview, when asked about Lillian's means justifying the end, she said, “That is such a great moral question. Everybody could ask themselves that and come up with a whole slew of different answers. It just goes back to the question of, when is it right to do the wrong thing? That opens up a whole can of worms about good and evil, black and white. Where's the gray? Ultimately, she isn't crazy, but she's definitely committed to the end. It does justify the means for her. Obviously, she's been willing to sacrifice any kind of personal relationships with this single-minded focus.

Yeah, I think he was ready for both of those responsibilities anyway, so now he's handling it well, but at first not so much.” He also discusses the suit, why James is reluctant to tell Kara, and why he thinks Superman would approve.

The episode, titled “Medusa,” scored a solid 1.1 rating in the core 18-49 demographic, and was watched by 3.51 million viewers in total. That an uptick from last week's episode of Supergirl that puts the ratings for “Medusa” on par with the second season premiere of Supergirl.

New photos from the episode reveal a first look at Jay's world as well as Earth-3's version of James Jesse (Mark Hamill), better known as the Trickster on Barry's world.

ComicBook.com had the chance to catch up with the actor regarding a potential future for his role as Constantine."Never say never, right?" Ryan said. It was the best he could offer, not knowing whether or not fans should actually expect to see Constantine pop up on television again.He does, however, has a message for those fans."I'd just like to say 'Thank you fans for all the support you've given me from playing this character. It's such an iconic role and to have you guys support me is just a fantastic thing so thank you very, very much."

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!!

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.

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.

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.
