Barry reunites with Joe, but the two are interrupted by Darhk whose erasure is being delayed due to his Time Stone. Thawne attacks CCPD, but is stopped by Barry and Mia Queen, who has come searching for her brother William Clayton. Thawne asks Barry to save him from his own erasure and is taken to S.T.A.R. Labs. Despero returns and urges Barry to let Thawne die, but Joe convinces Barry and Iris to let him live. In response, Despero takes control of Mia and has her hold off Team Flash while he threatens to destroy Central City to take out Thawne. Iris and Cecile help Mia regain control while Barry deduces that Despero was the despot on Kalanor. With technology from Chester, Barry depowers Despero and sends him away. Barry then drains Thawne's speed to prevent his erasure and has him remanded to A.R.G.U.S. custody. During a celebration, Iris helps Mia with a lead on William and convinces her to visit Felicity Smoak for help. Darhk gives his Time Stone to Joe and bids farewell to his daughter Nora who appears in his place and is consoled by Joe. In CCPD, the timeline changes to show Bart and Nora in a photograph with Eddie Thawne from 2014.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Barry finds that the timeline changed and he is now the Reverse-Flash. Thawne reveals that he killed Joe and framed Barry for the attacks in Central City, then traveled back in time to kill Barry as a child and later became The Flash. At midnight, the Reverse-Flashpoint timeline will solidify and Barry will disappear. He partners with this timeline's Damien Darhk and plots revenge against Thawne, but Darhk ultimately learns Barry's true nature and helps Barry restore the original timeline upon learning that his daughter Nora Darhk is alive in it. Meanwhile, Iris is visited by Batwoman while she struggles to write her vows to Thawne. Alex helps Chester and Allegra admit their love for one another, and also convinces Choi to love again. The speed required for Barry to return to 2021 will cause Armageddon through extinction-level natural disasters, but he decides to follow through. Barry visits Iris to say goodbye and is intercepted by Thawne, but Iris lets Barry escape. Thawne chases him while Darhk holds off Frost, Chillblaine, Ryan Choi (as The Atom), and Sentinel. As Barry returns to 2021, Thawne's changes are undone and Barry tells Despero to check 2031 for himself. Thawne arrives in the 2021 Time Vault as the Reverse-Flash and activates Gideon to aid him.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
In which Patrick, Erin, and I review Doomworld; not anything to do with Doctor Doom, but this episode of Legends of Tomorrow.Darhk: You feel a breeze and then you freezeYou can't see where he's gotYou fire your gun in front of youExactly where he's notHow do you find your targetWhen he's as fast as thought?I even think he can run through the timestream Merlin: He rushes round the cityAt a speed as fast as lightNot a trap nor cage will hold himThough try them as you mightI hate to have to say it'Cause it's no help to our plight;We're boned if he runs backward through the timestream. Darhk: I'll point out that we've lost to men with bows Merlin: I hate that, goodness knows Legends: How do you solve a problem like a speedster?How do you catch, say, Thawne, and kill him dead?How do you make a plan to catch a speedster?Darhk: He is faster than fast, as fast as the wind. Merlin: My head! Darhk and Merlin: How do you keep him when he's insubstantial?Why did we ever let him take command?And how do we make him staySo that we can make him payOr will this effort be our final stand? Legends: Oh, how do you solve a problem like a speedster?How do you hold the lightning in your hand? Merlin: When at first we took the spearI thought that we'd never fearBut I'm afraid I can think of nothing shrewdHe can put his hand through my chestShould he decide that it is best Darhk: And the lightning, well, it's fright'ning! Merlin:And we're screwed! Darhk: He can slit our throats at willAs though we were standing stillBut he never does it and I wonder why.He's a menace! He's the boss!It's a problem! It's our loss!It's enough to make me just sit down and cry Dahrk, Merlin, and Legends: How do you solve a problem like a speedster?How do you catch, say, Thawne, and kill him dead?How do you make a plan to catch a speedster?Dahrk:He is faster than fast, as fast as the wind.

Ray, with help from Nate, Behard and Gary, is preparing a romantic proposal dinner for Norah at Constantine’s house and hides the ring in chocolate mousse.. Unfortunately, Nora’s dad, Damian Darhk, arrives. He’s an Encore back after two years in hell to cause mayhem. Nora, wanting to not tell her dad that she is a good guy now, sends Ray and her child charge, Pippa, to hang out at the Waverider. Sarah and Ava, finding out that Damian is back, go to Constantine’s house to send him back to hell with Kahn’s hellsword. Nora implores Sarah and Ava to give her this night with her dad and see if she can use a potion on him that would remove his powers. Sarah and Ava agree and pretend to be Nora’s hench-women. Ray shows Pippa episodes of Mr. Parker’s Cul-de-sac. Pippa learns from the episode that you should always be honest with the people you love. Pippa summons Nora and Ray asks if she is hiding him from her father. She says yes and leaves. Constantine comes to the house and he and Damian square off. Nora says that Constantine is her boyfriend. Ray remembers he left the ring in the mousse and goes to get the ring before Nora finds it. Gary puts the potion in the mousse and Ava finds it. Constantine proposes to Nora who says “no” and finally tells the truth to her father. Just then the mousse starts bubbling and Damian assumes that the Legends have turned Nora against her. He then pins the Legends against the walls. Pippa wishes all of them to Mr. Parker’s Cul-de-sac. There Constantine and Charlie agree to work together to reform the loom and use it to save Astra and then destroy it. Ava and Sarah resolve their issues with Sarah’s call from Wild Dog offering her a job and agree to stay on the Waverider. And Nora finally tells Damian that Ray and her life as a fairy godmother make her happy. Helping children helps her cope with the terrible upbringing she had. Damian realizes he is wrong and says he supports Nora's decision to lead this new life. Nora accepts Ray’s proposal and they marry that evening at Constantine’s house. Damian takes Ray aside and asks him to leave the Waverider to support Nora in her new life. He then tells Sarah he doesn’t expect her to forgive him for killing Laurel and doesn’t forgive himself. He then uses Kahn’s hellsword to send himself back to hell.

One quick scene also shows Oliver with The Count of Monte Cristo, along with a photo of Felicity and his son, William. Thanks to Diggle, we find out Oliver has been locked up for five months with the likes of Derek Sampson (independent wrestler Cody Rhodes). Being among criminals looking for revenge leads to an epic beatdown delivered by Oliver –right in the middle of the shower stalls. From there, we learn Star City has implemented a zero tolerance policy on all vigilantism. https://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-7-trailer-sdcc/ SDCC: Arrow Cast & Crew Declassify Season 7 (Date: 21 July 2018) Highlights from the SDCC panel “The good thing is Roy is coming back,” Haynes shared. “He's not the same person. It's going to be very, very interesting. That's all I can say. Beth did — she's a genius, so she wrote me a version of the character that just was so special. It's going to be hard for me to do, but I'm going to be happy to do it. I'm so excited to come back.” As to the crossover, Schwartz said, “We're still working on the first half of the season, so we haven't gotten to the crossover.” Amell: “The coolest thing about the premiere for me is… there's nothing about him that's heroic at all. If you're a fan of the character and you root for the character, I really hope the premiere pisses you off,” he added. “I really enjoy it. There's one scene in particular in the premiere where what Oliver does is reprehensible.” A young fan asked if Oliver and Felicity would ever have a child of their own. “No babies this year!” Schwartz said, ending the panel. https://www.cbr.com/sdcc-2018-arrow-season-7/ 'Arrow' Episode 702 Title Revealed As "The Longbow Hunters" (Date: 23 July 2018) Arrow's sixth season finale introduced The Longbow Hunters to the Arrowverse and now it sounds like the group of villains will take center stage in the second episode of the show's seventh season. Showrunner Beth Schwartz revealed the title of the episode in a photo shared to Twitter today revealing that the episode is titled "The Longbow Hunters". http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/07/24/arrow-season-7-episode-two-title-the-longbow-hunters/ Arrow Casts a New Age of DC Heroes Character for Season 7 (Date: 21 July 2018) The CW announced at Comic-Con International that Silencer will be joining the cast of Arrow as a member of the previously teased team of Longbow Hunters, a trio of villains described as “more lethal than any the team has faced.” Silencer, along with Red Dart and Kodiak, will gather at the behest of Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) in an attempt by Season 6's big villain to take out Oliver Queen and his team once and for all. Played by Miranda Edwards (The Magicians, Orphan Black) Silencer is described as “a master of stealth,” which, depending on how close the character hews to her comic book incarnation, may be a massive understatement. https://www.cbr.com/arrow-casts-new-age-of-dc-heroes-silencer-season-7/ GENERAL DC NEWS: Legends of Tomorrow Turn Monster Hunters in SDCC Trailer (Date: 21 July 2018) Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 will see the team taking on “Fugitives,” which are legendary creatures wreaking havoc on time following the defeat of Mallus in Season 3. Actors Courtney Ford (Nora Darhk), Matt Ryan (John Constantine) and Jes Macallan (Ava Sharpe) will become series regulars. https://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrow-season-4-trailer-sdcc/ 'Legends of Tomorrow': Maisie Richardson-Sellers' Role in Season 4 Revealed (Date: 21 July 2018) Maisie Richardson-Sellers will be playing an entirely new role in Season 4. Richardson-Sellers will return as a new character named Charlie. Charlie is British, and described as a "rebel without a cause" with ties to the mysterious portal of magic that the Legends opened. Apparently, the Legends stumble upon her and are unsure if she's a friend or foe. Either way, she will definitely shake up the ship again. http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/07/22/legends-of-tomorrow-season-4-maisie-richardson-sellers-amaya-charlie/ Rip Hunter Won't Return in 'Legends of Tomorrow' Season 4 (Date: 23 July 2018) Arrowverse executive producer Marc Guggenheim has already left the door open, stating that Rip could indeed return... someday: “We love Arthur, we love having Arthur on the show, and I think Arthur enjoys being on the show. Because it's a time travel show, and because we never saw a body, anything is possible. I think Arthur is totally willing to come back and play with us if we have a cool idea.” http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/07/23/legends-tomorrow-season-4-rip-hunter-not-returning-arthur-darvill/ Why Legends of Tomorrow Isn't Part of This Year's Arrowverse Crossover (Date: 23 July 2018) Executive producer Keto Shimizu explained, “Tonally, we are so different from those other shows at this point, it's hard to jump back into that world with the other Arrowverse shows. And we did it last year and it was of course this gargantuan production and pre-production. For four shows to do that again and to try and make it bigger than last time, I just don't think it's possible. I think the crossovers are going to be a lot different in general than what we've seen.” https://www.cbr.com/why-legends-tomorrow-isnt-part-arrowverse-crossover/ Legends of Tomorrow Welcomes an All-Star Squadron Member in Season 4 (Date: 21 July 2018) Alaska You is the first to join the show. Played by Ramona Young, the character is described as a “typical twenty something” who will eventually become a “kickass superhero.” The second hero is actually related to an existing Legend; Hank Heywood, Nate's father, will have a recurring role throughout the season. Played by Tom Wilson, the character's description doesn't mention any superpowers. https://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrow-all-star-squadron-member-season-4-commander-steel/ NEXT EPISODE Link to Promo: (Date: 12 Feb 2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOa0EEAcdXM Episode: “Here I Go Again” [Season 3 Episode 11] Air Date: Monday, February 19, 2018 Summary: Zari finds her place on the team when she gets caught in a time loop that results in the Waverider blowing up over and over again.

In a recent tweet, Amell revealed that, after over six seasons of being on the air, he has now been "kicked in the nuts" while filming an Arrow scene. You can check out the tweet below. @StephenAmell 140 episodes, countless stunt sequences... and I managed to avoid getting kicked in the nuts... UNTIL TODAY!!! 10:03 PM - Jul 17, 2018 http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/07/18/arrow-season-7-stephen-amell-oliver-queen-bts-twitter/ Batwoman series from Greg Berlanti in development at The CW (Date: 17 July 2018) It turns out Greg Berlanti's plans for Batwoman extend far beyond the annual Arrowverse crossover. The CW is developing a script for a Batwoman series for 2019, EW has learned. While there's no casting news as of yet, the character will make her debut in this year's DC crossover event, as Arrow star Stephen Amell announced in May. EW has also learned that the forthcoming crossover will include Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl — but not DC's Legends of Tomorrow. The series, which has only reached a script-development deal at this point, will be written by Caroline Dries, who is also executive producing alongside Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Geoff Johns (under his new Mad Ghost Production banner). The annual DC crossover event is slated to air in December. http://ew.com/tv/2018/07/17/batwoman-series-greg-berlanti-development-cw GENERAL DC NEWS: 'The Flash' Star Danielle Panabaker to Make Her Directorial Debut in Season 5! (Exclusive) (Date: 16 July 2018) In addition to returning as S.T.A.R. Labs scientist Caitlin Snow in The CW series' fifth season, actress Danielle Panabaker will be stepping behind the camera to direct an upcoming episode. "I am so humbled by this opportunity to utilize everything that I have learned as a storyteller to bring an episode of The Flash to life," she said. "I couldn't be more thrilled to have the chance to work alongside our extremely talented (and vast) team that works so hard to make each and every episode of the show. I wouldn't be here without the support of my Flash family, and I am so thankful for this opportunity to continue to grow and challenge myself as an artist. https://www.etonline.com/the-flash-star-danielle-panabaker-to-make-her-directorial-debut-in-season-5-exclusive-105876 Smallville alum Sam Witwer joins Supergirl season 4 as Agent Liberty (Date: 17 July 2018) Supergirl has lured in yet another Smallville vet! Sam Witwer, who starred on Smallville season 8 as Doomsday, has joined the CW superhero drama's upcoming fourth season in the series regular role of DC Comics character Agent Liberty. In the show's interpretation on the character, Agent Liberty is the ruthless and terrifying founder and figurehead of Children of Liberty, a hate group that supports a human-first world order. According to a description from the show's producers, he's “a brilliant orator in the guise of a family man” and the scariest thing about him is how easily he can convince people that he's right. Given that Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and the DEO tend to be pro-alien integration, it's definitely fair to assume they won't get along with Agent Liberty and his Children of Liberty. https://ew.com/tv/2018/07/17/smallville-sam-witwer-supergirl-season-4-agent-liberty/?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=entertainmentweekly DC Universe Announces Fourth Live-Action Series: Stargirl (Date: 19 July 2018) The release date for DC Universe is still set for “fall 2018,” but we have more information about the streaming service.

Television's description for the Arrow Comic-Con International in San Diego panel, “There has been no shortage of close calls for Oliver Queen when it comes to protecting his Super Hero identity, but in the season six finale, he was finally backed into a corner and forced to reveal himself to the world as the Green Arrow. Now, Oliver will come face-to-face with many of the criminals he placed behind bars, as he makes a new home for himself at Slabside Maximum Security Prison. Oliver will find himself vulnerable in a way unlike ever before when a mysterious new enemy begins to unravel his work as Green Arrow, challenging him to redeem his name or risk losing everything.” Arrow returns to The CW on Monday, October 15 at 8 pm ET/PT https://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-7-synopsis-villain/ Arrow Showrunner Reveals Season 7 Premiere Title (Date: 27 June 2018) Dark days are undoubtedly ahead for the character, who is now stuck in a place filled with prisoners the Green Arrow helped imprison — and it's only about to get from bad to worse. The new showrunner of Arrow revealed that the title of the Season 7 premiere is “Inmate 4587,” hinting that life behind bars will certainly not be easy for Oliver Queen. Oliver's inmate number, 4587 is an Easter egg in and of itself, considering that it was the agent number of Vinnie Terranova, the main character of the classic television series Wiseguy. But on top of that, this also isn't the first time these numbers have appeared in the Arrowverse. Most notably, it was the number of a warehouse in the Legends of Tomorrow episode “Star City 2046,” an episode that presented viewers with a very dark future for Green Arrow's beloved city. https://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-7-premiere-title/ GENERAL DC NEWS: Legends of Tomorrow's Season 4 Threat Revealed (Date: 25 June 2018) According to Warner Bros. Television's description for the Legends of Tomorrow Comic-Con International in San Diego panel, “After defeating Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends were ready to ease off the gas. That was until Constantine arrived to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with “Fugitives” – magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things. So when all hell breaks loose, who ya gonna call? That's right, the Legends!” https://www.cbr.com/legends-tomorrow-season-4-threat/ ‘Black Panther' Tops 44th Saturn Awards With Five; ‘Blade Runner 2049' , ‘Shape Of Water', ‘Get Out' Also Score (Date: 27 June 2018) On Episode #190, from March, Saturn Awards nominees announced.

Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim noted that Richardson-Sellers would return, “Yes, Maisie will absolutely be back. We just felt like we owed it to the character to complete this arc, complete this story loop that we got her in. Once we took her off of her path in 1942, it was always incumbent upon us to return her to that path. That was something that hung over us as writers, and hung over the character… I'm looking forward to a different storyline for Amaya next year.” https://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrow-vixen-returns-maisie-richardson-sellers/ NEXT EPISODE Link to Promo: (Date: 20 Nov 2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUi0_0yijsE Episode: “Crisis on Earth-X, Part 4” [Season 3 Episode 8] Air Date: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Summary: The gang comes together for Barry and Iris's wedding, but the ceremony is crashed by villains from Earth-X.

(If vigilantes were vampires, consider her your Buffy.) Another recurring role to be cast is that of a successful tech whiz who is gay, and who harbors a heartbreaking past. http://tvline.com/2018/05/22/empire-season-4-finale-deaths-dies-spoilers/ Stephen Amell Reveals Goatee Is Coming in 'Arrow' Season 7 (Date: 20 May 2018) Star Stephen Amell just confirmed that an iconic part of Green Arrow's look from the DC Comics universe will debut in Arrow Season Seven on The CW. Amell told a crowd at Motor City Comic Con that he will debut Oliver Queen's classic goatee in Arrow's upcoming season. Amell did caution that the goatee may not be sticking around forever, possibly signaling that it will be more of an Easter egg than a lasting redesign to the character. He also made it clear that Green Arrow's Robin Hood hat won't be making an appearance. “I can't promise that I'm going to keep [the goatee] forever,” he said. “I can definitely promise that I'm not going to wear the stupid hat.” http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/05/20/arrow-season-7-stephen-amell-goatee/ Stephen Amell Says Next Arrowverse Crossover is Awesome, Talks Batwoman Casting (Date: 31 May 2018) Batwoman is coming to the Arrowverse, and fans are already champing at the bit for news. Amell wasn't really able to say very much about a major event story coming up several months from now. "I know the entire story of the crossover," Amell told the audience. "It's awesome, and I can't talk about it at all. Comicbook.com was on hand during The CW's recent Upfronts presentation, where Arrow star Stephen Amell announced that Batwoman will be introduced in the upcoming Arrowverse crossover. While it's unclear exactly how Batwoman will factor into the story, it was hinted that Gotham City will make an appearance, finally introducing it officially into the Arrowverse after years of being teased, name-dropped, and joked about. http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/05/31/stephen-amell-says-next-arrowverse-crossover-is-awesome-talks-ba/ Arrow's Stephen Amell Reveals New Approach For Season 7 (Date: 25 May 2018) Arrow fans may still be talking about the crazy Season 6 finale, but Stephen Amell already has his eyes and mind set squarely on Season 7. The actor recently spoke about the upcoming season and teased the show will be taking a new approach to how it tells its stories in Season 7. “I think that it's going to be...we can't go bigger than we went last year, so we're going more specific. . . . We are gonna introduce a new storytelling technique that I'm really excited about. All that I can say.” Stephen Amell couldn't keep a smile from creeping up his face as he talked about the new technique Arrow will use to tell its stories in Season 7. The idea to switch up how the show tells its stories could be tied to new showrunner Beth Schwartz. We have to speculate it will be tied to Oliver's incarceration in some way. After all, Arrow could be jumping a lot between prison and Star City, assuming we're trusting Stephen Amell, who said fans shouldn't expect the Green Arrow to be making any jailbreak situations happen. https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2423591/arrows-stephen-amell-reveals-new-approach-for-season-7 GENERAL DC NEWS: Chris 'Legends of Tomorrow' Season 4 Detailed Synopsis Teases Constantine & Magical Threats (Date: 17 May 2018) After defeating the demon Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends are ready to ease off the gas. Sara (Caity Lotz) and her team join Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) and the Time Bureau to help clean up the last few remaining anachronisms. The job seems straightforward enough until Constantine (Matt Ryan) arrives to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with “Fugitives” – magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things. As the Time Bureau is distrustful of and ill-equipped to deal with magic, the Legends must team up with everyone's favorite demonologist to set history back on track. http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/05/17/legends-of-tomorrow-season-4-constantine-synopsis-the-cw/ NEXT EPISODE Part 2: Promo for Next Week's Episode 200th Episode of the Starling Tribune!

We're hyped for all our shows this week but come on, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD (s05e11) is back and rolling into their second story pod of this season. More happens in one episode of this show than we get in half a year of others and it's bonkers! We have a full lineup this week where we also see what Barry's up to post prison in The Flash (s04e13) and the Legends of Tomorrow (s03e13) head out to pirate territory to try and beat Darhk to the earth totem. Last but never least, Black Lightning has what we felt was a slow episode and even then, so much is going on! Come listen to all that and more as we ruminate on the state of superheroes!
Yo ho ho, a pirate's life for me! Grab yer rum and hoist the Jolly Roger high, we’re on a quest for cursed treasure! Captain Jack Sparrow is off looking for more rum, so we’re tossing in with the Dread Pirate Jiwe to find buried treasure. Synopsis Ray, Amaya and Mick are debating where to find the five known totems and what the sixth totem might be. Ray tells them that the Fire totem is currently in Detroit 2018 and asks Sara if she’s ready to track it down. She declines, stating she has business in Star City (which is really a date with Ava), and tells the team to head to Detroit. Unfortunately, someone has already beaten them to it: Damien Darhk has the Fire totem. Fortunately, Nate announces he knows where the Earth totem is. It seems Blackbeard has possession of it in the Bahamas 1717. Sara is still on her date, so the team decides to go to 1717 and retrieve the Earth totem before Sara and Ava have dessert. Unfortunately, absolutely nothing goes according to plan. Mick spins a story about the Dread Pirate Jiwe, catching Blackbeard’s attention. Just as they are about to join forces, the British arrive on the scene with Admiral Damien Darhk. Taking the Legends by surprise, he steals Amaya’s Spirit totem, and now he has three. Blackbeard turns out to be a big coward and quickly gives up the location of the Earth totem. Damien Darhk heads off to take out the Waverider while Amaya, Mick and Blackbeard are marched out for execution. In a stroke of bad luck, they have time jumped into the Bermuda Triangle and the Waverider’s systems are going haywire. Ray, Nate and Zari are forced to time jump back to 2018 after Damien Darhk begins attacking the Waverider. Meanwhile, Amaya is feeling powerless without her totem, but Mick Rory gives her a pep talk and she saves them all from execution. The whole situation seems to have spooked Blackbeard, so Amaya and Mick decide to recruit Blackbeard’s crew and take his ship to track down the Earth totem. Back in 2018, the Waverider falls out of the sky, ending Sara’s date with Ava for good. Just as Ava sneaks away to talk to Gary, Sara leaves cash and ditches Ava to return to the Waverider. She learns that they are stranded in 2018 until Zari can fix the ship. Prior to Gary catching up with Ava, Rip and Wally commiserate in a rather amusing series of events. Wally, feeling heartbroken and rejected by his former team, is meditating in China. Rip, after several drinks, convinces him to track down Gary, steal his time courier and phone, and finally, reunite Rip with his beloved duster coat. They decide to head to Tokyo 1992 for some Careless Whisper karaoke and bond some more. Ava, after Gary brings her up to speed on Rip’s shenanigans, boards the Waverider to chew out Sara and find out what is happening with the Legends. Her and Sara argue, and Nate lifts her time courier while she is distracted. They head to 1717 with the nanite gun in hand to rescue Mick and Amaya, who have arrived at the site where Blackbeard buried the totem, and his dead girlfriend. He tells the story of the totem’s curse and how it completely overtook Annie, forcing Blackbeard to kill her and bury her with the totem. While Amaya attempts to talk zombie Annie off the ledge, Damien Darhk snaps her neck and takes the totem for himself. A great sword fight ensues, ending with Nora/Mallus’s attempt to kill Amaya. Ray arrives in the nick of time and shoots Nora, ensuring her death for Amaya’s life. The time portal is still open and Blackbeard surprises Ava and Sara on the Waverider. They put him in his place with a cane and a flute, earning his respect in the end. Everyone returns to their proper time and place, but Ray is wracked with guilt at what he has done to Nora. After a chat with Mick, he steals away on the jump ship with a cure for Nora. Darhk tosses him the Spirit totem for the cure, but Ray tries to reach out to Nora instead of taking it and running. She starts to drain his life force, but Daddy Darhkest talks her out of it. Ray is now their prisoner.

We are back with a special episode discussing all the theories for the first half of season 3! There is a TON to theorize about and we brought a few guests over from the DC Action Hour for a fresh take on where season 3 might be going. Synopsis Where are we going with the Mallus storyline? The Legends keep running into ancestors and younger versions of themselves, what could this mean? Is Constantine here just to help fight Mallus with his magic knowledge? We lost a couple characters this season, such as Stein and Jax. Who might replace them? Who do you think would be a good fit and why? We will only have Snart for a little while longer. How are they going to write him off the show? Where do you think the Time Bureau HQ is located? When Sara followed Darhk in the midseason finale by grabbing him as they vanished with the time stone, she ends up in a “zone” of some kind with Mallus. Where was that? How does Agent Sharpe reach in and pull her out? We saw Stein take the liquid that is supposed to stabilize and trick the Firestorm matrix in his body, but we don’t see Jax take it, so how is he stabilized? Or is he going to explode due to being only one-half now?

Synopsis In a surprising cold open, young Martin Stein stands in line to buy a Beebo doll for his daughter Lily. Unfortunately, there is only one left and five year olds can’t wait until February! Young Martin channels his inner Oliver Queen and snags the last Beebo doll. As he is running from the crowd of “barbarians,” he instantly becomes this week’s anachronism when he is transported to Vinland and encounters real barbarians. Leo, the Legends new resident therapist, has decided to hold grief counseling sessions with a Professor Stein puppet. Perhaps this was a bit in poor taste, and luckily for Jax, his session is interrupted by an anachronistic time quake. After Martin Stein showed up in Vinland with a Beebo doll, Leif Erikson conquered North America in 1000 AD. The Legends head to 1000 AD on a recon mission and discover young Martin held captive. Jax frees him and they return to the Waverider to discover the anachronism has somehow gotten worse. While the team try to decide how to best retrieve the Beebo doll, Agent Sharpe decides to check-in and offer her condolences on the loss of Dr. Stein. It’s a Beebo Day miracle! The Legends and Agent Sharpe do their best to blend in with the locals and find the Beebo doll. Mick finds it first, along with some booze, attracting the attention of Freydis. According to her, Beebo hungers for a blood sacrifice, so the plan is to burn Mick Rory alive. As everyone gathers around the pire, Leo prepares his cold gun and quenches the fire at the last minute. Nate and Amaya try to steal Beebo during the diversion and accidentally squeeze him. A battle ensues over Beebo and Rory ends it by burning the Beebo doll. Lightning strikes and Damien Darhk appears dressed as Odin. The Legends return to the temporal zone to form a plan just as Jax leaves to return Martin to his rightful place in time. Zari convinces Jax to look for a loophole, so he writes Martin a letter and instructs him not to open it until November 28, 2017. Unfortunately, Martin has seen Back to the Future. With the Tim Bureau unwilling to help, the Legends come-up with a plan to stop Darhk and diffuse the anachronism. Just as Darhk is about to disappear, Sara tries to follow him and is transported directly to Mallus’ lair. Sharpe pulls her out to rejoin the team. Jax learns Martin still dies in 2017 and travels back to 1992 to confront him. He explains to Jax (again) that he lived a life full of adventure and now Jax needs the chance to live his. After the two shake hands, he returns to the Waverider and breaks the news to Sara that he is returning to 2017. The Legends surprise him with a Christmas send-off and Sara returns him to Central City 2017. She returns to the Waverider and finds John Constantine hiding in the shadows with an ominous message.

Helen of Troy steals the limelight from brilliant inventor/actress Hedy Lamarr, inadvertently starting a war among the Hollywood studios. Who’s mad about who now? Synopsis Hollywoodland 1937. The Golden Age of the movie business. Helen of Troy dropping men left and right, and causing a war despite being in a different time and place. Back on the Waverider, Nate is in desperate need of a shower, but eventually discovers Helen as the anachronism. Unfortunately, not before Ray accidentally cause Jax and Dr. Stein to switch bodies. Must be Tuesday. The Legends head out to a Hollywood gala, hoping to convince Helen to come quietly and return to her own time. The team did not predict that Helen would not want to leave her new home. She has no desire to return to a time where thousands are killed in her name. Sara follows her back to the party and runs right into her new agent: Damien Darhk. Apparently, anachronisms are good for business! Whatever that means. Darhk offers the Legends a deal: they return to 2017 and he let’s them all live. What a guy. Too bad he’s probably lying. The Legends return to the Waverider, after Ray, Nate and Mick start a fist fight over, you guessed it, Helen. After that incident, Sara returns to the field with Amaya and Zari to rescue Helen with their own version of a Trojan Horse (“Did he just say?”). This time they are able to convince her to leave after a studio war breaks right in front of her. They all return to the Waverider and find systems are failing one after another. Apparently Helen’s displacement of Hedy Lamarr has had far reaching consequences no one quite anticipated. Hedy Lamarr Stein as Jax returns to 1937 to set Hedy Lamarr on her rightful path. Unfortunately, they run straight into Darhk and his daughter/Mallus. Sara has anticipated this might happen and the Legends run into the field to save Stein as Jax. Sara convinces Darhk to duel, League of Assassins style, with no magic. Unfortunately, Eleanor does not have to play by the rules. Just when we think Sara might have the upper hand, Eleanor attacks with powers eerily similar to her father’s. While Sara is slowly dying, Hedy Lamarr convinces Jax and Stein to merge, knowing Firestorm can contend with Eleanor/Mallus. We see Stein as the “man on fire” and he gives Eleanor a run for her money. They turn and run, disappearing somewhere in time. Meanwhile, back on the Waverider, Kuasa confronts Amaya after she takes out Zari. They have an enlightening chat before Helen stabs Kuasa and she turns to water, disappearing. Everyone returns to the Waverider, although Sara is in a coma to heal, and Zari returns Helen to her own time, but not to Troy. She leaves her on Themyscira, home of the Amazon warriors, and not a man in sight.

Return of the Darhk… Come on… Return of the Darhk… Here I am! Not exactly a sparkly vampire, but hey, we’ll take it. Synopsis Rip has traveled to the time of Jack the Ripper for the sole purpose of doing his best Sherlock Holmes impression. Or just to chase an evil god who exists throughout time. Meanwhile, back on the Waverider, Nate pulled an all nighter to work out the pattern of the anachronism map. As it turns out, the map’s pattern is the golden ratio and forms a spiral pattern, except for two outliers: Seattle 2042 and London 1895. The team travels back to Victorian London and interviews the coroner who performed the autopsy on their anachronistic corpse. He explains that the corpse fell from the sky and promptly stole his futuristic watch. He directs the Legends to a cemetery where he buried the corpse in an unmarked grave. Unfortunately, someone has beaten them there, twice! The Legends expect to find a very dead corpse and are surprised when a very alive Rip Hunter crawls out of the grave. Against all odds (#sarcasm), Rip Hunter has gone rogue and decided to pursue his own personal crusade, an evil being named Mallus that even the Time Masters do not speak of. In return for the Legends’ help, he promises to get the Time Bureau off their backs. So they decide to use Pretty as bait and lure the vampire out of the Shadows. However, Rip and the team find a little more than they bargained for. Stein’s great-great-grandfather has teamed up with the “vampire” surgeon and a cult called The Shrouded Compass. As it turns out, they are trying to raise someone from the dead using a blood moon ritual. While Sara and Rip rescue Nate and discover Damien Darhk, the mystic Eleanor has entranced Zari by channeling her dead brother. Unfortunately, this also blows their cover and a brawl ensues in the main parlour. Our team head back to the Waverider where Sara confronts Rip and they both accuse the other of losing perspective. Rip admits he was wrong and then activates the Gentleman’s Dreadnaught, sealing the Legends inside the ship. Unbeknownst to the team, Zari has already left to bargain with Eleanor. Using Zari’s totem, Eleanor begins the ceremony to raise Darhk from the dead. Rip, however, has other plans. He demands to speak to Mallus through Eleanor and while they converse, the full blood moon magically raises Darhk from the dead, powers and all. Portals open and the Time Bureau agents arrive to help Rip, but they are powerless against Damien Darhk. They are slaughtered, and just before Rip meets his end, the Legends arrive to save Rip, but too late for the Time Bureau agents who are all dead. After Rip’s betrayal, Sara has informed Agent Sharpe of his whereabouts. She turns up on the Waverider with Director Bennett to take Rip back home to face the tribunal. In exchange, the Waverider is free to roam the skies, fixing time.

We know at least one member of the Emerald Archer's team made it out relatively unscathed, since Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy) will officially suit up as Black Canary in season 6 — and EW has the exclusive first look. EW turned to executive producer Wendy Mericle to get the scoop. Mericle said about Dinah suiting up, “We have an intervening five months between the finale and where we pick up in the premiere and I think we will take the opportunity to tell the full story of it. But I think yes, the island and everything that happened in the finale has driven her to this point. But at the same time, it's really the team and this sense of her being a part of something. She was adrift before, but now she's part of a family and part of this bigger force in the world.” http://ew.com/tv/2017/07/13/arrow-season-6-spoilers-black-canary/ Anna Hopkins (Samantha Clayton) was awesome in Dark Matter “Ambrosia” Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on Arrow, Goldbergs, Superstore, Roseanne, Originals — Plus, Blind Item Hint! (Date: 12 July 2017) What can we expect for Black Siren? — Ausiello: You can expect much of the aforementioned villainy, sprinkled with the occasional wish for a turn-around, at least by those who knew her Earth-One doppelgänger. “I don't know if there's any question about whether or not the [idea] of redemption will come up; it has to,” co-showrunner Wendy Mericle told TVLine. “Her father is there. Oliver is there. Everyone is going to be asking whether or not it's possible to find a little piece of Laurel, the Laurel Lance they knew and loved, in there somewhere.” That said, “I think she's interesting as a [villain],” Mericle asserted. “Black Siren is a badass.” BONUS SCOOP: Even with Adrian Chase dead, Oliver's battle to conceal his secret identity is far from over. Rumor has it he will be dogged by a curious FBI agent this season. http://tvline.com/2017/07/12/roseanne-revival-glenn-quinn-death-mark-abc/ Manu Bennett's Slade Wilson Will Stick Around This Time (Date: 9 July 2017) Speaking at Heroes & Villains FanFest in Nashville this weekend (via TVLine), Amell teased that Bennett is “back to being a part of the show” and that he might pop up “multiple times this year.” Amell didn't offer much more information than that, so it's possible that Wilson really is dead and Bennett will appear in some kind of convoluted flashback sequences, but it sounds like we're getting more Deathstroke either way. http://www.avclub.com/article/manu-bennetts-slade-wilson-will-stick-around-arrow-257854 Do you need a moment Chris? GENERAL DC TV NEWS The Flash Season 4 Set Photos Reveal Wally West in Flash Costume (Date: 13 July 2017) New set photos reveal that Flash actor Keiyan Lonsdale - who plays the TV version of Wally West - will be officially taking over the mantle of The Flash! http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/07/13/the-flash-season-4-wally-west-flash-costume/?utm_source=Comicbook.com&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=170713_104250_Comicbook.com%20Daily%20Newsletter&utm_content=Link EXCLUSIVE: Trio of Character Breakdowns for ‘THE FLASH', Season 4! (Date 13 July 2017) Character breakdowns of the 3 new additions! CLIFFORD DEVOE/THE THINKER–Male, 40-50, Any Ethnicity. After being caught in the particle accelerator explosion, Clifford Devoe became an extremely intelligent meta-human. A super genius who's plans to fix all he sees wrong with humanity. Regular for Season 4. THE MECHANIC–Female, 30-40, Any Ethnicity. An extremely intelligent engineer who will design devices for Clifford Devoe. Basically, Devoe's right hand. She'll support Devoe no matter the consequences. RECURRING GUEST. RALPH DIBNY/ELONGATED MAN - Male, Mid to late 30s, Any Ethnicity. A Ryan Reynolds or Chris Pratt type. Ralph is able to drastically change the shape of his body, but is having a difficult time changing his ways. Will most likely be comedic relief for the season. MAJOR RECURRING GUEST STAR, COULD COME BACK IN SEASON 5. http://thathashtagshow.com/2017/07/exclusive-trio-of-character-breakdowns-for-the-flash-season-4/ Wonder Woman Has the Best Superhero Box Office Holding in 15 Years (Date 13 Jlu 2017) The Patty Jenkins-directed film Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot, has just taken the top spot for highest North American box office hold of any superhero movie, dethroning Sam Raimi's Spider-Man from 2002. Wonder Woman already has several milestones under its belt, including being the top grossing female-directed film worldwide and Warner Bros.' third highest grossing film domestically (right behind Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises). On top of all this, Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, even congratulated the god killing Amazonian princess on her success. http://www.cbr.com/wonder-woman-box-office-holding/ Twitter Poll: https://twitter.com/LegendsofSHIELD/status/885668358087213060 NEXT EPISODE Link to Promo: (Date: 22 Feb 2017) https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/legends_of_tomorrow/new-extended-promo-for-legends-of-tomorrow-season-2-episode-13-land-of-the-lost-a149141 Episode: “Land of the Lost” [Season 2 Episode 13] Air Date: Tuesday, March 7. 2017 Summary: The Legends are left seventy million years in the past when Rip causes the Waverider to crash after his capture.

They had a season finale similar where you had a group of characters, all of whom were series regulars, in a dire situation at the end of their season. Just because they were series regulars did not mean that everyone came out of that cliffhanger alive.” http://ew.com/tv/2017/06/23/spoiler-room-pretty-little-liars-arrow-chicago-fire/ Arrow: Black Canary Memorial Revealed in Season 6 Concept Art (Date: 23 June 2017) The Black Canary memorial seen in the piece above mirrors a similar scene from the opening of Season 5.

GENERAL DC TV NEWS Spoiler Room: Scoop on Pretty Little Liars, Arrow, Chicago Fire, and more (Date: 23 June 2017) What do you have on Legends of Tomorrow season 3? — The Legends of Tomorrow will find themselves facing off against Rip Hunter (and his new Time Bureau) once again next season, but it will be very different from what we saw last year. “In season 2, he was turned evil,” EP Marc Guggenheim says. “This is not Evil Rip. We're not making Rip a bad guy or that kind of villain, rather this is Rip as… the Ronny Cox in Beverly Hills Cop to our Eddie Murphy. He's the guy who's trying to do things the proper way, follow the rules, get things done with a certain level of efficiency, and here come our Legends of Tomorrow, who go about things a bit more unorthodox.” http://ew.com/tv/2017/06/23/spoiler-room-pretty-little-liars-arrow-chicago-fire/ Supergirl Adds Two New Showrunners; Ali Adler Departs (Date 16 June 2017) Supergirl just underwent a behind-the-scenes change-up. Deadline reports that co-creator Ali Adler has stepped down from her role as showrunner, per her overall deal at CBS TV studios.

In the U.S., The Mummy was relegated to second place behind Warner Bros.' box-office sensation Wonder Woman, which fell a scant 45 percent in its second weekend to $57.2 million from 4,165 theaters. That's one of the lowest drops ever for a superhero tentpole. Generally speaking, a superhero film can fall 60 percent.

Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/06/09/spoiler-room-orphan-black-once-upon-time-hawaii-five-0/ Legends of Tomorrow Casts Billy Zane As PT Barnum (Date: 14 June 2017) EW can exclusively reveal that Billy Zane has been tapped to play P.T. Barnum on the CW super series. The Titanic star will appear in one episode. Executive producer Phil Klemperer has offered up a detailed description of the role that also offers insight on what's in store for season 3: “Obviously, we couldn't resist putting Victor Garber and Billy Zane back on screen for the first time since the TITANIC. But I've wanted to bring Billy onto LEGENDS every since I saw him in a friend's comedy pilot. I'm not sure that people know how funny Billy is, although we cast him as P.T. Barnum because we knew that he would be able to find the soul beneath the larger-than-life showman. This season on LEGENDS, we want to meet other famous figures from history, people like Barnum, people we think we know, so that we can find the aspects of them, the parts of their story, that the history books left out — we want to bring history to life by infusing it with heart, humor, and total absurdity (often at the same time).” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/06/14/legends-tomorrow-billy-zane-pt-barnum/ Legends of Tomorrow adds Tala Ashe as a visitor from the future (Date: 06 June 2017) The Waverider is adding one more member to its superhero squad: American Odyssey and Smash actress Tala Ashe is joining DC's Legends of Tomorrow season 3 in a new series regular role. Ashe will portray Zari Adrianna Tomaz, a Muslim-American woman from the year 2030. In her future, technological advances have brought about significant change to civilization, but humanity's fear, prejudice, and mistreatment of the planet have prompted her to become a “grey hat hacktivist.” Tomaz may be a computer nerd, but she doesn't yet realize she holds hidden powers derived from a mystical source.

Going to be great.” He added, “And by my scenes I mean our scenes. By definition. Super cool episode.” Amell was referring to Season 5, Episode 20, which is titled “Underneath,” airs during May sweeps and will revisit, in depth, Felicity's termination of their wedding engagement after learning that Oliver 1) had a son, 2) didn't tell her, and 3) then didn't include his bride-to-be in the decision to send young William and his mother away, to safety.

Arrow's Stephen Amell will trade in his salmon ladder for the floating steps and compete against Dancing with the Stars' Derek Hough, Parenthood's Erika Christensen, Today's Natalie Morales, comedian Nikki Glaser, actress Mena Suvari, former Yankees player Nick Swisher, comedian Jeff Dye and Olympic decathlon and heptathon champion Ashton Eaton. The special episode will kick off the night on Thursday, May 25 at 8/7c on NBC.

Oliver (Stephen Amell), Team Arrow, ARGUS and the SCPD kick off a citywide manhunt for Adrian Chase (Josh Segurra). Helix tells Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) they have a way to find Chase but they will need something big, and illegal, from her in return.

Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/04/06/arrow-dangerous-liaisons-synopsis-released/ GENERAL DC TV NEWS Legends of Tomorrow EP Klemmer Compares Season 3 To Game of Thrones (Date: 03 April 2017) Executive producer Phil Klemmer suggested that fans should get used to losses and that they're committed to going the full Game of Thrones in season 3 so that fans never have the comfort of assuming that anyone is safe. “It's always been a rule since the Hawkman death [in the pilot], Greg [Berlanti] said it before the show was even a show about how his mission was to make this not like network TV, that no one would be bulletproof, that it was more like the Ned Stark idea of anybody could lose their head at any time. As we've been roughly breaking out next season, we're more committed to that than ever. Again, that's a really bittersweet thing because we think the dynamic of the characters have is so special and wonderful, and at the same time, you don't want the audience to become too comfortable on the show. It is supposed to be a wild ride. You need that real consequences and real bloodshed to counterbalance the fluffiness and the silliness of the show. Otherwise it would just float off into space.” Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/04/03/legends-of-tomorrow-showrunner-compares-season-3-to-game-of-thro/ How The Supergirl Effects Team Brought Parasite To Life (Date: 04 April 2017) The CW has released this video showing the visual effects for the Parasite episode of Supergirl from earlier this season. The episode was called Changing, the sixth of the season, and featured scientist Rudy Jones becoming the classic DC villain. It also showed us both Mon-El and Guardian in action after Supergirl and J'onn J'onzz were drained by Parasite. There's no dialogue in the video, but you can see from the different effects shots how many different layers are needed for some of what look like simple scenes and how much of the shots are practical compared to computer generated.

As the CW drama's sophomore run came to a close this week, Rip Hunter (played by original cast member Arthur Darvill) quietly packed a bag and bid the Waverider and its new captain, Sara, adieu. That, however, does not mean viewers have seen the last of the Brit. “We've got plans for Rip for next year,” Legends showrunner Marc Guggenheim told Entertainment Weekly Radio on Thursday. “It's just in a different capacity than him being a member of the team.” As for another burning Q — whether sister series such as Arrow and The Flash will reflect the weird reality on hand when the Legends crash-landed in 2017 Los Angeles — Guggenheim in a word said no. “We never want television to feel like a homework assignment,” where viewers of one #DCTV show must track all of them. “That said… there will be an explanation in Season 3 as to why you're not seeing dinosaurs run through Central City.” Link:https://tvline.com/2017/04/06/legends-of-tomorrow-season-3-rip-hunter-returns/ The Once And Future Flash Synopsis Released Online (Date: 06 April 2017) Barry (Grant Gustin) travels to the future to find out Savitar's still unknown identity in the hopes of saving Iris (Candice Patton). Upon his arrival in 2024, Barry encounters future versions of his Team Flash friends, who, following the death of Iris, have become very different people, profoundly impacted by their showdown with Savitar. It will be up to Barry to infuse a sense of hope back into the team, as he proves to be hero his future friends have been waiting for. Meanwhile, back in 2017, the hunt for Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) continues. Tom Cavanagh directed the episode written by Carina Adly MacKenzie.

Lena asks Kara to attend Jack's conference with her for support.

Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take ya, Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go… back to 1916 and run into our past selves causing a paradox and perhaps destroying time itself! Synopsis Seriously though, we could be on the beach, drinking mai tai’s with girls in bikinis. Anyway, Rip discovered he was miniaturized in Star Labs and made a break for the nearest open window to rendezvous with the rest of the team. Rory laughs at mini Rip and shakes the Waverider around like a toy. Puzzled, the team ask him why the Legion used the Spear of Destiny to shrink him and he informs them he must have used Ray’s Atom suit. The Legends head to Star Labs to recover the suit and are interrupted by Damien Darhk. Rory saves Ray and Jax so Ray can restore the Waverider and Rip to the correct dimensions. The Waverider busts out of Star Labs and the team explains the plan to Rip. In 1916, the Legends come-up with a plan to steal the Spear of Destiny and destroy it. Step 1: recover the blood of Christ from its burial place in no man’s land. Ray uncovers the blood of Christ easily and is confronted by Eobard Thawne. He shatters the vial and rips Ray’s heart from his chest, killing future Ray. The Legends reconvene on the Waverider to come-up with a different plan now that one of their ranks has been killed. They decide to send Rory, Nate and Rip onto the Waverider in 1916 and steal the Spear while their past selves are off at the church looking for burial place of Sir Gawain. All goes, awkwardly, according to plan until Nate becomes distracted by Amaya and is late meeting Rory and Rip. The delay causes their past selves to return to the Waverider before they can leave. The 1916 Legends sense that something is awry and unknowingly capture their future selves. As the Legends, past and future, meet one another, a time quake rocks the Waverider. The Legion has discovered the Waverider and attack, attempting to catch both sets of Legends by surprise and recover the Spear to ensure Doomworld. The Legends come-up with a plan when an attempt to time jump goes horribly wrong and they cause a time storm. The Waverider’s time drive is damaged and the past Legends need to make a break for the other Waverider to ensure the safety of the Spear. The future Legends take-on the Legion and are killed one by one until only Sara and Rip are left. After subduing Darhk and Snart, the Legends are confronted by Reverse Flash with several time remnants to help him combat the Legends and recover the Spear. As a last resort, Sara uses the Spear and ensures Doomworld will never come to pass. Just when Thawne thinks he has the better of them, he discovers the Spear has been depowered and the Black Flash has been summoned to destroy him, once and for all? With the Spear depowered and reality intact, Sara, the last remaining future Legend, fades from existence. The “past” Legends return Snart and Darhk to their places in the timeline and the team returns to the Waverider to find Rip is departing. After all their hard work, Rory attempts to plot a course to Aruba 2017, but a time storm rocks the Waverider and lands them in LA 2017.

During the New York attack, Rip recovered the Spear of Destiny from the Waverider and used the time drive to escape. In the present, the team learns about the spear and arrives in Los Angeles, 1967, when they confront Darhk and Malcolm attempting to kidnap Rip, who has no memories of his previous adventures and is training with George Lucas. Both parties escape; and Rip is arrested by the police. The team abducts him from custody and takes him to the Waverider. Nate and Ray are revealed to have lost their specialties and powers since the aberration caused Lucas to quit filmmaking. While Nate, Amaya and Ray meet Lucas to dissuade him, the others learn that Lucas has a fragment of the spear. Darhk and Malcolm overpower Amaya's party and forces them to search for the fragment in a dumpster. The others arrive and a battle ensues, during which they recover the fragment and the Medallion; but Rip is abducted by Eobard, whose partners intend to torture him to find the other fragments. Lucas returns to filmmaking; and the team vows to rescue Rip. Meanwhile, Mick tells Stein about his hallucinations, which the latter eventually interprets are emotional, not neural.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #310 Legends of Tomorrow 2x10 - The Legion of Doom | Recap & ReviewThis episode we get to see things from the Legion of Doom’s perspective, and the in-fighting is rampant. Darhk and Merlyn can’t get any secrets out of Film School Rip because there are none to be had. His brain has literally been reprogrammed. This failure annoys Eobard, who admonishes them as he would henchmen. Fed up with the sidekick treatment, Merlyn and Darhk trap Eobard in a vault and demand to be treated as equals. It works, because it turns out the watch Eobard has been looking at is telling him how long he has before the Black Racer shows up to snag his soul. After Eobard agrees to their demands, they use a similar trick to trap the Black Racer and make an escape. Having bought some time, the trio head back with the prize of Rip’s safety deposit box, which is a memory disk. They use it to reprogram Rip again, this time making him an assassin. Meanwhile, Stein and Ray need help sciencing something and Stein calls in the foremost expert he can think of. His daughter, Lily. She’s a big fan of the Waverider, even if Sara is a little peeved she’s been brought there, but she does in fact help Ray plug Gideon up to a thousands-year-old amulet, which will hopefully help them find the rest of the spear of destiny before the Legion of Doom. Unfortunately, Mick lets slip that she’s an aberration and Stein has to face the music on his feelings about having a daughter and Lily’s past.

My name is Damien Darhk and this week, you'll be joining the Legion of Doom as we torture Rip Hunter and concoct a plan to trap a speedster in a bank vault. But first, we travel back to 2016 and recruit a dejected Malcolm Merlyn to our cause. Eobard Thawne has set Merlyn and Darhk to the task of torturing the location of the rest of the Spear of Destiny from Rip Hunter, who annoyingly insists his name is Phil. When Merlyn failed to reveal the truth with hypnosis, Darhk discovered his molar contains account information for a safe deposit box in 2025. As Thawne speeds off again, Merlyn and Darhk argue and then decide to use Rip/Phil to access the safe deposit box. All goes according to plan until Rip doesn't remember the pass code to access the vault. Meanwhile, the Legends are still trying to discover who the mystery speedster is after Stein's daughter Lily discovers how the Longinus medallion actually works. After Lily and Ray hook-up the medallion to Gideon and download the contents to her hard drive, Mick accidentally slips and tells Lily she is a time aberration. She confronts her father and they work on their communication skills until their "new" relationship is mended. During these exchanges, Dr. Stein comes to the conclusion that the mystery speedster must be Eobard Thawne, since he is the only speedster he knows of that does not exist. After this failed attempt to access the vault, Darhk and Merlyn return to the bank after dark and shoot their way into the bank. Merlyn acquires the bank manager's code so they can access the vault without needing Rip. Just as they discover the contents of the safety deposit box, Thawne speeds into the vault and takes the memory device from their hands, but Darhk and Merlyn have formed an alliance. They lock Thawne in the vault and force him to explain what he keeps running from. We see visions of a speedster dressed in black that looks like a zombie and tracks down Thawne using the speed force. Darhk suggest that Thawne simply stop running so the thing tracking Thawne cannot find him. Using Thawne as bait, they trap the speedster hunter in the vault and form a true partnership. Back at their secret lair, Thawne alters Rip's memories before "uploading" them to his brain. In the closing scene, Rip Hunter shoots General Washington point blank in the chest.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #302 – Legends of Tomorrow 2x09 – Raiders of the Lost Art | Recap & ReviewTo save himself and the Spear of Destiny, Rip touches a time drive which reprograms his personality. Now a film student in 60's LA, he is found by Merlyn and Darhk. He has no memory of his former life, but has written a script about Rip Hunter's. They try to kidnap him, the Legends head them off, and Rip is arrested. Sara, Stein and Mick rescue him from prison, but fail to convince him that he is a Time Master. George Lucas, a classmate of Rip's, drops out of film school. The change in careers creates a time aberration. Due to a lack of Lucas films, Ray and Nate begin losing their memories and powers. So Ray, Nate and Vixen set about finding Lucas and convincing him to make movies. They almost convince him, but Merlyn and Darhk come for Lucas as he unknowingly has the Spear. However, Lucas tossed it in the trash, so the trio go to the landfill to search for it. Lucas finds the Spear but the others convince him that they can’t give it up because Darhk will just kill them anyway. At a crucial juncture, since they are in a trash compactor and are nearing certain death, Ray and Nate demand that Lucas own up to what he really wants to do. He searches his soul and finds that he wants to direct, which changes the past again, giving Nate and Ray their powers back. Then it's the Legends vs. The Legion of Doom, complete with a still-amnesiac Rip pretending to be a Time Master to limited success! The team makes off with the Spear and the Amulet, but not with Rip. He was nabbed by the Legion for some torture time! Meanwhile, Martin tries to help Mick stop seeing visions of Snart, even resorting to removing Time Master tech via surgery, but Mick's affliction turns out to be psychological.

The Justice Society of America was conceived by editor Sheldon Mayer and writer Gardner Fox. The JSA first appeared in All Star Comics #3 (Winter 1940–1941). VIXEN - Probably the most recognizable member of the JSA's cast this time around was Vixen -- at least for fans of the CWverse. In addition to having her own animated series, Vixen -- an African-American woman who derives the power of animals from the Tantu Totem she wears around her neck -- had a memorable guest appearance on Arrow last season. Of course, that's all Mari. This woman? Mari's grandmother, Amaya Jiwe, who passed the totem down through their family. HOURMAN - Rex Tyler, also known as Hourman, is a Golden Age superhero and the first of a number of characters to use the Hourman name. Tyler has a number of superhuman abilities, like enhanced strength, reflexes, and healing -- but only for an hour at a time. His abilities are given to him by Miraclo, a drug he designed himself. There is an Hourman legacy including Rex's son Rick and an android from the 853rd Century programmed to act as a member of the Tyler family. The android, at a point in the past, presented Rex with an hourglass infused with tachyons -- time in its most basic form -- and that hourglass would become part of both his and Rick's costumes. Said hourglass has been seen on board the Waverider on previous episodes of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.. STARGIRL - Stargirl is Courtney Whitmore. In the TV series, she exists in 1942 -- but in the original comics, she was created (and existed) in 1999, and was part of a "next generation" of Justice Society members who came up in the late '90s and early 2000s. Courtney Whitmore was created by Geoff Johns and Lee Moder, and has a famous backstory: Johns named her after (and based her personality on) his sister Courtney, who died in the explosion of TWA Flight 800 in 1996. COMMANDER STEEL - Commander Steel is Hank Heywood, Sr., the first in a line of DC heroes to use variations on the Steel moniker. A legend in the World War II era and a member of the All-Star Squadron and later the Justice Society of America, Heywood's body had surgically-implanted mechanized steel devices that allowed his body to work on a superhuman level. Originally just "Steel," he was promoted to Commander Steel by President Roosevelt in 1940 -- so while this is his first appearance in live action, it's timeline-accurate to call him Commander Steel by this point in his career since the story takes place in 1942. DOCTOR MID-NITE - Doctor Mid-Nite is a name shared by a number of blind super-heroes and physicians with the ability to see in the darkness, using blackout bombs and martial arts to gain an advantage over criminals. Doctor Mid-Nite was created by Charles Reizenstein and Stan Aschmeier, first appearing in All-American Comics #25. OBSIDIAN - Obsidian is the son of Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott, a founding member of the JSA in the comics. He and his sister Jade would go on to play an important role in the Justice Society's sinoff groups the Young All-Stars and Infinity, Inc., as well as eventually joining the Justice Society itself. He was also briefly affiliated with the Justice League. LEAVENWORTH - The United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth is a medium-security United States federal prison for male inmates in northeast Kansas. On Arrow, it was revealed that Leavenworth is where John Diggle is being held while awaiting his court martial. KRIEGER - There are basically two figures who could have inspired Baron Krieger, even though there is no specific Baron Krieger in DC Comics. The first is Baron Blitzkrieg: Originally a World War II German army officer, the man who would be Baron Blitzkrieg was blinded when a concentration camp prisoner threw acid into his face. German scientists experimented on him, giving him injections of experimental drugs which would give him incredible powers for brief periods of time. The other possibility is Albrecht Krieger, who was basically Captain America, but for Nazis. A genetically-modified super-soldier, Krieger also had a mad scientist brother and a psychic sister we might have to worry about if it's him -- and while the backstory feels a lot more like Blitzkrieg's, Krieger has not only the name but the general look of this week's threat. MAX LORENZ - Max Lorenz was a famous singer, who lived in Germany around the time of World War II and is widely known as "Hitler's favorite tenor." Of course, it's a handy thing that Legends of Tomorrow star Victor Garber has the pipes to make that scene convincing. UBERMENSCH - It's worth noting that there are several references to "Übermensch" in here, which is derived from Nietzsche in Thus Spake Zarathustra, one of the influences for Superman, which is more or less what the word translates to directly. The term can literally translate to "Overman," which in the DC Comics universe is an alternate-universe version of Superman who lives on an Earth where the Nazis won World War II.REVERSE-FLASH - Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, may have something up his sleeve. At the end of The Flash's Season 3 premiere earlier this month, he said that while his future was as it should be, Barry's might not be. Barry then went home to discover a number of small anomalies that made his life and those of his friends worse. Now, we learn that "somebody" is outfitting the villains of history with future tech in order to push the world to a slightly worse place. Could Eobard Thawne have stepped right out of "Flashpoint" and into "Out of Time?" Either way, seeing him and Darhk together is enough to make seasoned Arrowverse fans quake in their boots even before they know the other members of Thawne's little Legion of Doom. ARROW NEWS THE CW RENEWS ARROW, FLASH, SUPERGIRL AND LEGENDS OF TOMORROW (Date: 08 Jan 2017) Renewal will bring “Arrow” to Season Six, “The Flash” to Season Four, and “Supergirl” and “Legends of Tomorrow” each to Season Three.

However, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), still reeling from Detective Malone's murder, is bent on revenge – she wants to stop Prometheus at any cost. While in prison, Diggle (David Ramsey) fights for his life. Gregory Smith directed the episode written by Ben Sokolowski & Brian Ford Sullivan.

Guggenheim also teased that Felicity will a meet a few people in the back half of the season that are connected to her past. Additionally, he explained that Felicity's new, darker direction can't be blamed solely on Billy Malone's death. Rather, her experiences over the course of the show will culminate in her new attitude. “Billy was the final straw,” he said. “It's also the sum of the fact that Felicity has been living in this darker world for the last four-plus years now…. How has that affected her way of thinking about things?” He added that this will be directly addressed in Season 5 Episode 11. Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-the-calculator-is-not-returning-yet/ ARROW: Greg Berlanti Teases More Appearances From Laurel Lance Across The CW (Date: 10 Jan 2017) While it hasn't been confirmed 100%, it's a pretty safe bet that this Laurel is the evil Black Siren from Earth 2, who was originally introduced in The Flash last year. While her motivations remain unknown, Arrow producer Greg Berlanti has teased the character's involvement in more than just the events of Arrow's fifth season. “We made a deal at the end of [season 4] to bring her back for a bunch of episodes. Katie is a part of the fabric of the show. Because the show, like a comic book, can move in different ways, and characters go and come, everybody that's ever been a part of the key and core ensemble has always had a place at the table for our show.

I don't know if it will happen this season or when, but… we are going to be true to origins in the DC universe, and she's always going to be there.” So far on the show, three characters have carried the Canary name: Sara Lance, Laurel Lance and Evelyn Sharp.

However, when the team arrives they discover that Rip has no memories of his past due to “time drift” and is just a graduate film student. After trying to convince Rip of who he was, they discover that he possesses an incredibly powerful artifact known as the Spear of Destiny, which the Legion of Doom is after. Ray (Bradon Routh) and Nate (Nick Zano) realize that the Aberration has also affected them personally making it difficult to help the team. Meanwhile, Rory (Dominic Purcell) asks Stein (Victor Garber) for help and makes him promise to keep it a secret from the team. Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh and Maisie Richardson-Sellers also star. Dermott Downs directed the episode written by Keto Shimizu & Chris Fedak. Link: https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/legends_of_tomorrow/the-mystery-surrounding-rip-hunter-is-revealed-in-new-a147939 NEW LEGENDS OF TOMORROW EPS WILL STAR A WHOLE DIFFERENT RIP HUNTER (Date: 10 Jan 2017) The back half of season two kicks off on Tuesday, January 24 after the show's winter hiatus. That batch of episodes starts with an episode titled “Raiders of the Lost Art,” which guest stars a young George Lucas (or rather an actor named Matt Angel playing a young Lucas) and features the return of Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill). But Rip won't return the same as we previously knew him. Marc Guggenheim talked about the upcoming episodes and how the Spear of Destiny will impact the show. “The second half of the season is really paying off the Legion of Doom and what we now know is the MacGuffin of Season 2, the Spear of Destiny,” said Guggenheim. “Changing time is like painting with the biggest paintbrush possible; using the Spear of Destiny is like using a very, very fine-point technical pen.” Link: http://www.cbr.com/new-legends-of-tomorrow-eps-will-star-a-whole-different-rip-hunter/ The Girl Of Steel Visits Another World In Synopsis For Kevin Smith's Episode Of SUPERGIRL (Date: 05 Jan 2017) KEVIN SMITH DIRECTS; ROULETTE RETURNS — Kara (Melissa Benoist) is moved by the story of a missing woman named Izzy (guest star Harley Quinn Smith) and decides to investigate despite Snapper Carr's (guest star Ian Gomez) order to leave it alone. Kara takes Mon-El (Chris Wood) with her to the last place Izzy was seen and the duo find themselves thrust through a portal to another planet, Slaver's Moon, where the downtrodden are sold as slaves. The leader of the trafficking ring is none other than Roulette (guest star Dichen Lachman). To make matters worse, Slaver's Moon has a red sun, which means Kara and Mon-El are stripped of their powers and stuck on the planet with no way home. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Alex (Chyler Leigh) blames herself for Kara's disappearance, fearing she's become too focused on her new relationship with Maggie (guest star Floriana Lima) and too complacent in watching out for her sister. Kevin Smith directed the episode with story by Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Eric Carrasco & Jess Kardos.

When a criminal named Plunder (guest star Stephen Huszar) shows up in Central City, Barry recalls the villain's presence in his vision of the future and fears that if he catches Plunder, it will cement Iris' fate. Confused about Barry's hesitation to stop Plunder, Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) decides to step in as Kid Flash. Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) offers Julian (Tom Felton) a job.

According to executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, the two-part story will have lasting ramifications on both shows. According to Kreisberg. “When we get to the musical episodes, both Barry and Kara will find themselves at pivotal crossroads on their respective series, and the experience of going through the musical will have a great impact on both series moving forward.” Executive producer Greg Berlanti confirmed the villain will indeed be the Music Meister, who can control people through song. What's more, the musical crossover will feature original songs and could include characters from any Earth or timeline in the “Arrow”-verse. No date has been announced for “The Flash”/”Supergirl” crossover. Link: http://www.cbr.com/supergirl-flash-musical-will-have-great-impact-on-both-shows/ DC COMICS' SOLOVAR ARRIVES IN FLASH'S TWO-PART GORILLA CITY STORY (Date: 09 Jan 2017) “The Flash” is taking a trip to Gorilla City in episodes 13 and 14 of season three. The series will also introduce a new telepathic gorilla straight from the comics, Solovar. Keith David will provide the voice of Solovar in the Gorilla Grodd-centric two-parter. David is a film and television veteran with a career spanning decades. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg announced the return of Grodd and Gorilla City during a presentation at the TCAs. Kreisberg also revealed that the two-parter will span multiple Earths. “One of the episodes will take place in Gorilla City [on Earth-2], and one of them will take place on Earth-1.” In the comics, Solovar — a psychic gorilla like Grodd — is the leader of Gorilla City. Under his rule, Gorilla City became a technological wonder. Solovar's involvement in “The Flash's” Grodd/Gorilla City two-parter makes sense considering that Solovar is Grodd's main rival (other than the Scarlet Speedster) in the comics. Link: http://www.cbr.com/dc-comics-solovar-arrives-in-flashs-two-part-gorilla-city-story/ BLACK FLASH TO RETURN ON ‘MULTIPLE' ARROWVERSE SERIES (Date: 08 Jan 2017) As expected, “The Flash” viewers haven't seen the last of Hunter “Zoom” Zolomon. However, when the character returns, it may not only be on that CW drama — and he may not be portrayed by Teddy Sears. Transformed by time wraiths into Black Flash and then pulled into the Speed Force in “The Flash's” Season Two finale, the villain will indeed race back into the Arrowverse.“I will say that you might be seeing him on multiple shows,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour. He didn't say which shows those are, or when fans can expect Black Flash's return. “[Black Flash] is a classic character. We have storylines on multiple shows that fit having him around,” he said. “There's something so scary about him, something even scarier than when he was just the man, because now it's now he is the Grim Reaper, he is the devil. How do you stop the devil? So it presents an interesting challenge for the heroes of the respective shows in which he appears.” Link: http://www.cbr.com/black-flash-to-return-on-multiple-arrowverse-series/ ‘Constantine' Back As Animated Series For CW Seed With Greg Berlanti Producing (Date: 08 Jan 2017) Constantine, which had a one-season run on NBC, will be back as an animated series for CW Seed. Five to six 10-minute episodes have been ordered. Matt Ryan, who starred in the live-action DC series, will voice the title character.

However, we can see that the impish villain won't look anything like he does in the DC Comics source material, where he's traditionally depicted as an older, diminutive character. Created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Ira Yarborough for 1944's “Superman” #30, Mister Mxyzptlk is a mischievous imp from the fifth dimension who delights in tormenting the Man of Steel. Link: http://www.cbr.com/supergirl-casts-peter-gadiot-as-mister-mxyzptlk/ THE CW HAS ‘NO PLANS' FOR A SUPERMAN SERIES (Date: 08 Jan 2017) “Tyler did a great job,” The CW President Mark Pedowitz said. “There's no plan to do a series. There are no plans at the moment for him to return [to ‘Supergirl']. If they wish to have him return, we'd love to have him.” Link: http://www.cbr.com/the-cw-has-no-plans-for-a-superman-series/ THE FLASH Will Weave Kid Flash, Killer Frost And Gypsy Story Arcs Into Remaining Season 3 Episodes (Date: 07 Jan 2017) Armed with that knowledge Barry and his allies will be frantically searching for ways to prepare for an inevitable second round with the God of Speed. As for the rest of Team Flash, the co-showrunner adds that Gypsy (played by the recently cast Jessica Camacho of Sleepy Hollow) will be playing an important adversarial role in Cisco's budding superhero career, Caitlin will continue to wrestle with her Killer Frost alter ego and Wally West will continue to fly off the handle and cause trouble as Kid Flash.

Ninjas plus musketeers plus Legends Fight on the Dock Sarah v. Damien Darhk Team was totally not coordinated Time Travel: Share your thoughts 1637 - Have to save the future of France by making sure King and Queen conceive Sara seduced by Queen Mick, Stein, and Rip - Three Musketeers End up using powers because others had laser guns 1942 - New York - source of the Time Quake Told by Rex not to go there Go there to save NYC Einstein, Nazis, great costumes, U-boat, Atomic bomb Even the Legends are guilty of assuming only a man could have the knowledge to make the bomb Time Scatter - 70 mya - Ray in South Dakota w/Dino 821 Tintangel, England - Stein and Jax wizards of a court 1693 Salem - Sara accused of being a witch, happily corrupting women Sara Lance / White Canary They don't pull any punches right off the bat with Sarah's sexuality, or with her physicality “Shut your mouth, Jax, or I'll cut your eyes out and feed 'em to you.” They make her desire for revenge on Damien Darhk a big part of the character right out of the gate as well. Leads to the confrontation on the Waverider when Ray calls her out for trailing the Nazis. Ray Palmer / The Atom Still the boy scout Follows Sara when she says she's going to see Grandpa in FBI Is he just a guy in a suit? Mick Rory / Heat Wave Found by Ollie and Heywood in statis Injured during fight, why Rip put him in stasis; gets to pilot the Waverider to find team Follows orders in France by not bringing gun, but breaks them by stealing Einstein thinks he is the brains of the operation Martin Stein / Firestorm Giddy to meet Einstein, but disappointed (Never meet your heroes) Jefferson Jackson / Firestorm I really dig his knowledge of the ship Foreshadows finding the hidden section of the ship later on. Nate Heywood / Steel Goes to Ollie because he realizes Legends are in trouble Time detective Amaya Jiwe / Vixen Rip Hunter Seems like he spends a lot of the episode frustrated I get what he was doing with Jax (reminded me of the Karate Kid a bit with wax on wax off), but was it necessary Couldn't he have told the crew about the time scatter earlier? Rehearsed an emergency drill or something? Gideon Without saying much except for “I'm here Captain” before the time scatter, Gideon seems really human. Damn Justice Society of America (JSA) Obsedian Commander Steel Dr. Mid-Nite Stargirl Legion of Doom Damien Darhk Is the one who supplied the Nazis with uranium Recognizes Sara's fighting style Germans want him to get another bomb, reveals his partner wants to move on Eobard Thawne / Reverse-Flash Revealed at end to be Darhk's partner Malcolm Merlyn CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES Season 02 Episode 01 “Out of Time” (Date: 13 Oct 2016) Article:http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/10/13/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-things-you-might-have-missed-in-out-of-t/ Out of Time - As has been the case a lot in the first couple of weeks of The CW's TV season, the episode's title -- "Out of Time" -- is a bit of a reference in and of itself. It's likely been the name of a number of time travel-related stories -- but most recently, it was the name of a story that ran through The Flash #30-35 (from the 2011 series) and featured, among other villains, The Reverse-Flash. The fact that the final moments of the episode incorporate the "surprise" appearance of Eobard Thawne, then, suggests this could have been a more-than-incidental use of the name. OLIVER QUEEN - Oliver Queen, seen wearing a suit and not in his Green Arrow costume for the purposes of this season finale, is played by Stephen Amell. The star of Arrow, Oliver is generally considered the genesis point for The CW's DC Universe (even though they obviously had Smallville and Birds of Prey long before Arrow came along). Amell's Green Arrow appeared in the series premieres of both The Flash and DC's Legends of Tomorrow, so this episode more or less continues a tradition. NATE HEYWOOD - Nick Zano joins the cast as Nate Heywood -- "Citizen Steel" -- who in the comics inherits the powers and costume of his grandfather. He's a troubled individual, suffering from both physical and emotional damage, in the comics -- but as Zano told ComicBook.com at Comic Con International: San Diego, that's not the direction they're going with Heywood on TV. THE THREE MUSKETEERS - Cardinal Richelieu, depicted as one of the villains of Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers, being included in this episode more or less cements the idea that they look like that on purpose -- and explains why certain characters who were strategically important in the fight -- like Jax, for instance -- had to stay out of sight. REX TYLER - Rex Tyler, the Golden Age Hourman and a veteran member of the Justice Society of America, is one of a number of DC heroes who would pass on his name and legacy numerous times over the decades to come in the comics. On TV, he made a single, brief appearance at the end of the season 1 finale of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and will show up again -- with the rest of the Justice Society this time -- in next week's episode as well. DAMIEN DARHK - Damien Darhk was the season four big bad on Arrow. Like Ra's al Ghul, he's a very old man who has been kept relatively young by the Lazarus Pit because of his position of power and authority first within the League of Assassins and later in H.I.V.E. Originally created as a villain in The Titans, Darhk's control of H.I.V.E. made him an ideal choice when The CW decided to introduce a magical villain last year. He was nearly unbeatable until Oliver figured out how to manipulate Darhk's energy to his own ends, and now he's dead -- except that as somebody who's been not only alive, but rich and powerful for decades, he's surprisingly easy for a time-traveling troublemaker to find and recruit. ALBERT EINSTEIN - First of all, he's appeared in DC Comics before. In an oversized issue Superman vs. Wonder Woman, Nazis went after Einstein in 1942. Ultimately, Wonder Woman rescues him but ends up finding out about the Manhattan Project. After becoming a person of interest for a while and throwing down with Superman a bit, she ends up teaming up with the Last Son of Krypton to track down and defeat Baron Blitzkrieg. Secondly, the thing with his wife is actually based in historical controversy. Mileva Marić was a Serbian physicist and has long been rumored to have coauthored Einstein's 1905 paper on relativity. INSULTING RAY - Calling him a "boy scout" feels like a nod to Brandon Routh's time as Superman, but the whole "what are you without that suit?" reeks of Marvel's The Avengers. That's a comic book movie reference twofer! REVERSE-FLASH - Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, may have something up his sleeve. At the end of The Flash's Season 3 premiere earlier this month, he said that while his future was as it should be, Barry's might not be. Barry then went home to discover a number of small anomalies that made his life and those of his friends worse. Now, we learn that "somebody" is outfitting the villains of history with future tech in order to push the world to a slightly worse place. Could Eobard Thawne have stepped right out of "Flashpoint" and into "Out of Time?" Either way, seeing him and Darhk together is enough to make seasoned Arrowverse fans quake in their boots even before they know the other members of Thawne's little Legion of Doom.

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

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

Dedicated show in the future Three-part comic book series published from late 1988 to early 1989 Writers: Keith Giffen and Bill Mantlo; pencillers: Todd McFarlane and Bart Sears; inkers: P. Craig Russell, Al Gordon, and Dick Giordano; colorist: Carl Gafford Plot: the alien race the Dominators form an alliance and attack Earth with the goal of ridding Earth of all of its metahumans and superpowered people Invasion stopped, but a young Dominator develops a Gene Bomb, which causes all meta-humans to lose control of their powers A group led by Martian Manhunter finds a cure Comparison to TV adaptation: There is no way the TV version can be as grand because the TV universe doesn't have as many metahumans and supers as the comic Started with aliens in comic, so know their motivation, but it took a long time to learn their motivation in the adaptation CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES Season 5 Episode 8 “Invasion!” (Date: 01 Dec 2016) Article: http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/12/01/arrow-easter-eggs-and-things-you-might-have-missed-in-invasion-/ Running - Stephen Amell said, "The hundredth episode of Arrow begins in a very appropriate way: it begins with Oliver running. 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.

What follows is an explosive confrontation between Green Arrow and his mysterious foe. The photos below show Green Arrow and Prometheus coming to blows, but Oliver is not alone.

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. There are costs for this character to achieve her commitment.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/brenda-strong-talks-supergirl/ SUPERGIRL: MEHCAD BROOKS COMPARES JAMES OLSEN'S GUARDIAN TO BATMAN (Date: 28 Nov 2016) During a recent set visit, Brooks told CBR and other reporters that James' CatCo position has made him more like the Dark Knight. “I kind of liken it to Bruce Wayne, running an enterprise during the day and then at night putting on the sleek black suit and your costume,” he explained. “James in the DC Universe has seen examples of it before, right? He's never had to do it himself. 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 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.

Am I evolving? The list returns after a 4 year absence Diggle Puts recruits in line - he has a point about them not needing to know right away Tells Ollie that there is a difference between a good kill and a kill done in rage; Darhk was a good kill Thea Organizes concert Tells Lance she won't give up on him Felicity Develops algorithm to connect victims Tells Billy about working with Green Arrow; he takes it well Steals evidence from Billy to test weapon Quentin Lance Drunks know how to lie Lied about being sober Blacking out Had cut on arm and weapon in hand - Prometheus or being set up?

Michelle's List O'Suspects: (Being bold by eliminating some this week because of access to The List) 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) New: 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) Bratva Anatoly has a boss Anatoly in war with Kovar Anatoly - vocational teacher; Bratva learn many trades D.A. Adrian Chase Doesn't mind a vigilante investigating a crime scene, possibly contaminating evidence 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 So It Begins: As Felicity notes in the episode, the title (and also that little message in fire left for Oliver a la the Daredevil movie) is a line from Babylon 5. Specifically, it was spoken by Kosh in the episode "Chrysalis," and became an oft-repeated/referenced quote from the series. Michelle's addition: Kosh is the Vorlon Empire's Ambassador to Babylon 5. The line is said to Sinclair and refers to Delenn starting her transformation. Aparo & Puckett: Tobias Church's stolen cell phone turned up in a warehouse on Aparo and Puckett -- two streets named after veteran DC Comics creators Jim Aparo and Kelley Puckett. Puckett is a writer best known for his work on the Batman family of titles; Among his most notable works are the co-creations of the Cassandra Cain Batgirl and Connor Hawke, the son of Oliver Queen. Aparo is one of the most recognizable Batman artists of his era; his last ongoing series assignment before he passed away was Green Arrow #81-100 in the '90s, during which time he and Puckett introduced Connor Hawke. Ishmael Gregor - David Meunier, known to TV fans for his role on FX's Justified, joined the cast of Arrow tonight as Ishmael Gregor. Gregor in the comics is a character who's been known to make a physical transformation into a demon, complete with magical powers, but considering remarks by the showrunners about a more grounded Season Five, it seems likely that his primary role will be as a human running the Russian mob. Worth mentioning - Konstantin Kovar appeared onscreen for the first time in this week's episode, played by Hollywood action legend Dolph Lundgren. Channel 52 makes yet another appearance. Callbacks to early seasons include Oliver's tennis ball-training session, the appearance of The List, and all those names on it.

Earlier this year I was speaking with [showrunner] Wendy Mericle, and I was like, ‘Look, there's two things that we're no longer allowed to write about Oliver: We're no longer allowed to call him a billionaire, because … he lost his family fortune. And we're currently not allowed to say ‘playboy' — he's dated one woman since Season 2, and he had a fling with Isabel Rochev. That's it.' If you'd like him to be a playboy, then by all means, start writing him like one” Link:http://tvline.com/2016/11/03/arrow-season-5-spoilers-oliver-new-romance-stephen-amell/ 15 things you need to know about “Arrow's” Talia al Ghul (Date: 08 Nov 2016) The article is a primer about Talia al Ghul.

I really think he's just a simple sort of guy that has got caught up in deeper situations. There's more to him than meets the eye.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-theres-more-to-anatoly-knyazev-than-meets-the-eye-says-nykl/ Arrow: Amell calls Dolph Lundgren's character a ‘worthy adversary' (Date: 09 Nov 2016) On the way Dolph works on set, Stephen Amell said, “He's very thoughtful and contemplates his lines and he has been great so far, but it's a real change of pace. I do think it would have been a missed opportunity in the last year of these flashbacks to not have a really worthy adversary. We found that in Dolph, which is why he'll be around for a while. It's been a blast to work with him. It's been awesome.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-amell-calls-dolph-ludgrens-character-a-worthy-adversary/ Arrow's Josh Segarra reveals what excites him about playing Vigilante (Date: 09 Nov 2016) Next week's episode of Arrow, titled "Vigilante," will center on the character of Star City District Attorney Adrian Chase (played by actor Josh Segarra), and introduce his costumed alter ego, Vigilante. He told ComicBook.com during the Arrow 100th episode party that they were working hard not to disappoint anybody who read the comics and had expectations for the character. "The biggest question that I have for myself as an actor is 'why does this person become the person that they are?'" Segarra said. "So what's going to be hard is that in the middle of the season I get to introduce Vigilante. So now I'm getting to tell that backstory and we get to tell the biggest pieces and get to show him becoming who he is before episode 7."

Stephen Amell, EP Marc Guggenheim discuss (Date: 10 Nov 2016) The article examines why season 5 could be a natural ending, but Marc Guggenheim says, “No, I think we tend to look at season 5 as the end of a particular chapter.” Arrow doesn't seem to be in any danger of cancellation at present; while ratings are down from last season, it remains one of The CW's four most-watched programs. The show's longevity seems to surprise even the producers. The flashback storyline was always “a five-year deal,” says Guggenheim, and they intend to stick with that plan. “The show just turned out to be more successful than we anticipated.” Also Stephen Amell discusses why season 4 disappointed him at times and how he likes the renewed focus of season 5. Link:http://www.ew.com/article/2016/11/10/arrow-ideal-ending-stephen-amell-marc-guggenheim DC TV NEWS Legends of Tomorrow's Caity Lotz: Even if she wants to, Sara can't bring back Laurel (Date: 03 Nov 2016) Sara Lance can't kill Damien Darhk because of the consequences. In an interview with ComicBook.com she said, “The thing is, I can't kill him. If I kill him in 1942 or 1952, all of those years that he was supposed to do everything would be messed up; it's a big change to history. So I wouldn't be able to even kill him. I think she's struggling, now that she's captain, with this higher sense of purpose. It's not just all about her; she has to consider other people. You see what happens with Barry Allen when he changed the timeline. She's coming around and being like ‘I have to accept this,' but I still think there's something in her that is always going to want to change it and I don't know, if she had the opportunity, if she would pass it up. I think it's still a big area of conflict for her. And of course she misses her sister.” Link:http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/11/04/legends-of-tomorrows-caity-lotz-even-if-she-wants-to-sara-cant-b/ The responsibilities of time travelers when it comes to slavery (Date: 06 Nov 2016) The episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow entitled Abominations had two things in mind when picking the title. Confederate zombies and slavery. Executive producer Marc Guggenheim talks about the responsibility of time travelers when it comes to the question of slavery and how the CW's time-traveling show differs from others on the air.

Legends - Snart will be back in the midseason finale, eventually aligning with Reverse-Flash, Damien Darhk and Malcolm Merlyn to form the Legion of Doom.

Adrian Chase Get a little dirty to clean up the filth All of the justice now comes from vigilantes CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES Season Episode “Penance” (Date: 26 Oct 2016) Article: http://comicbook.com/2016/10/27/arrow-easter-eggs-and-other-things-you-might-have-missed-in-pena/ The Name Game - Artemis and Mr. Terrific got their names this week Kord Industries - Kord Industries, a fixture in seasons 2 and 3 but less common in 4 and so far in 5, is the name of the tech company owned and operated by Ted Kord. In the comics, Ted is one of three people who have gone by the name of Blue Beetle. A heroic legacy that started in 1940, Kord's version of the Blue Beetle was the most Green Arrow-like: an inventor and industrialist who didn't have any special powers but who did have a lot of tech, mostly Beetle-themed. It's rumored that he was supposed to be the character who eventually evolved into Ray Palmer, but DC had other plans for the character — widely believed to be the forthcoming Booster Gold movie. Tech Village - This not-quite-a-Best-Buy is the name of the store where Felicity Smoak worked at the beginning Arrow's third season. This may be the first time it's had an in-story reference in at least a full season that wasn't just a brief callback to "Felicity worked there once." It is also, due to Ray Palmer's attempts to recruit Felicity to work for him, a subsidiary of Palmer Tech. Palmer Tech - Of course, this is the company formerly owned by Ray Palmer, and then Felicity Smoak. Before that, it was Oliver's company, which he signed over to Ravager as part of Deathstroke's attack on Oliver and the city. It's unclear who owns it now — maybe it's just whichever stockholder has a plurality and nobody exciting at all — but after four years of the company being one of the most regularly-used sets on the show, this is the first time we've gone back this year. Amertek - Church took RPGs from Amertek? We weren't going to mention Amertek necessarily, since we just talked about it a couple of episodes ago, but it's definitely worth noting that in the comics, the company's most notorious weapon is a modified RPG colloquially called a Toastmaster, which was designed by John Henry Irons during his time working for Ametek. Cell 1138 - John's cell number is a nod to THX 1138, George Lucas's directorial debut. It's arguably better known among the average moviegoer for giving the first bit of its name to THX, Lucas's revolutionary sound system, but the film itself remains one of Lucas's best-reviewed works and a reminder that he did great work outside of just Star Wars and Indiana Jones. It's worth noting that at one point in the film, the title character THX and one of his fellow prisoners (SEN 5241) stage a jail break from a facility where most of the other inmates have no desire to leave — kind of like Diggle had no desire to leave at the start of the episode. Molecular Destabilizer - That spray, used to immediately and dramatically destabilize the molecules in anything it's sprayed on (how does it stay in the bottle?), feels like a nod to the universal solvent in the first arc of All-Star Squadron.In that story, a solvent designed by villain Dr. Zodiak was used to dissolve everything from walls to guns, and made the gimmick weapons used by a number of Justice Society of America members pretty useless. Callback - This one is kind of an odd mention, but it's interesting to note that Friedkin's comments to Oliver in jail -- "do you think you scare me more than him?" -- are echoed in the present day almost immediately by the man being interrogated by Adrian Chase. ARROW NEWS: Marc Guggenheim reveals the title of Arrow's 100th episode (Date: 23 Oct 2016) While Arrow takes its hundredth episode to celebrate the four-plus seasons that have come before, it also has to balance the needs of a four-show crossover that will bring Supergirl into The Flash, Arrow, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Guggenheim said, "Arrow episode 508 is called 'Invasion!' with the exclamation point. And Legends of Tomorrow 207 is going to be 'Invasion!'. I'll leave it up to you to guess what The Flash is called." Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/23/marc-guggenheim-reveals-the-title-of-arrows-100th-episode/ Is Tommy Merlyn really Prometheus? (Date:23 Oct 2016) The article discusses the possibility that Tommy Merlyn could be Prometheus. Tommy could be alive due to Flashpoint or Malcolm using the Lazarus pit. Since producers like Marc Guggenheim has said “Oliver bears a measure of responsibility for the creation of Prometheus,” longtime viewers are convinced the villain is more so connected to Oliver as a person than as a vigilante. Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/24/arrow-is-tommy-merlyn-really-prometheus-/ Stephen Amell posts bloody Arrow selfie (Date: xx month year) “Arrow” lead Stephen Amell has posted a bloody selfie indicating that he shot quite a violent scene over the weekend. Amell is sporting long locks and facial hair, indicating that this beating he takes will occur during one of “Arrow's” trademark flashback sequences. Link:http://www.cbr.com/stephen-amell-posts-bloody-arrow-selfie/ David Ramsey reveals how Diggle will respond to Flashpoint changes (Date:24 Oct 2016) Flashpoint changed Diggle's family. How will Diggle handle the revelation? "Much more compassionately than you might think," Ramsey said. "Diggle can't miss anything he's never had and 'Flashpoint' changes history -- it changes his history directly -- so he never can really miss Baby Sara anymore, because he never had her, but he is concerned about Barry. Barry's actions were reckless, and with all that power, being reckless -- to someone as disciplined as Diggle -- comes as a shock." Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/24/david-ramsey-reveals-how-diggle-will-respond-to-flashpoint-chang/ Arrow season 5 episode 10 title revealed (Date: 25 Oct 2016) Marc Guggenheim has taken to Twitter and finally revealed the title for Season Five's tenth episode. The tenth episode of Season Five is called “Who Are You?” Guggenheim informed fans that the episode was now in production under director's Gregory Smith guidance.

Aside from their involvement in Team “Arrow,” fans know virtually nothing about Oliver Queen's new recruits — but that's about to change. Though the three “Arrow” stars were unable to offer too many details, Joe Dinicol, Madison McLaughlin and Rick Gonzales teased some new information about where their characters came from, why they became vigilantes and what affects their dynamic within the team. Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-wild-dog-artemis-more-weigh-in-on-their-characters-pasts/ Stephen Amell reveals how Arrow's hundredth episode begins (Date: 26 Oct 2016) “The hundredth episode of Arrow begins in a very appropriate way: it begins with Oliver running," Amell revealed. "We've had him running into the premiere almost every year, we didn't have him running in this year, but we have him running in the hundredth episode." Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/26/stephen-amell-reveals-how-arrows-hundredth-episode-begins/ Arrow's Stephen Amell talks Casey Jones/Wild Dog comparisons (Date: 26 Oct 2016) Amell has a sense of humor about Wild Dog being in a hockey mask like Casey Jones. "One of the producers asked me, 'Do you think this is too on the nose?' I was like, 'No, becuase why are we doing this show if we're not going to have fun with something like that?'" Link:http://comicbook.com/2016/10/25/arrows-stephen-amell-talks-casey-jones-wild-dog-comparisons/ The comic book history of the Vigilante (Date: 26 Oct 2016) The article focuses on the Adrian Chase story as that is the version currently popping up on Arrow. His origin was pretty straight forward. His role as a D.A. put him on someone's hit list and his family got killed because of it. By the second issue of the series, Chase was already questioning his choice of taking the law into his own hands. The character was a unique look into the side of vigilantism that doesn't normally get addressed in comics.

Actor Jose Segarra weighs in (Date: 26 Oct 2016) In the season 5 premiere of Arrow, Felicity Smoak showed Oliver Queen an image of somebody wearing ski goggles. Supposedly a police artist's sketch of an anonymous vigilante working in Star City, Team Arrow haven't mentioned him again since -- although longtime comic book readers recognized him. The image was that of Adrian Chase -- better known as Vigilante. So if tonight is Vigilante's genesis, what's the deal with that police sketch? We asked Josh Segarra, who plays Chase, to clarify. "That's what I think is going to be interesting, is what parts of the comic are we going to get to put on the show?" He responded when ComicBook.com asked him about the police sketch. "I know the answer to that but the audience don't. But that's what been great is that we're trying to keep it as much as we can in that world, but also keep it exciting because I don't want any plot twists to be a thing where people are expecting something and don't get them.So I'm hoping that we get the right pieces along the way. So now I'm getting to tell that backstory and we get to tell the biggest pieces and get to show him becoming who he is before episode 7."

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

Beacon also means that Team Arrow needs to bring the light. The reporters try to answer the question is Oliver's head back in the game? After last week, the show rebounded a bit but it still needs more work. The show opened with an awesome training fight scene, but the boys still had their shirts on. #Fail? Just how many shirtless scenes are in Stephen Amell's contract anyway? Of course Team Arrow needs more training and our reporters think more water slapping might help. Why do the bee drones turn into a giant robot? Our reporters answer: because plot/cgi requires of course. The flashbacks are moving again and they are starting to reconcile season 1 Oliver with Flashback Oliver. Curtis shows us his moves and the reporters aren't completely turned off by them. Should Curtis be called “Overwatch 2 point 0?” Firewall? The chat answers with probably Mr. Terrific. The Reporters give another Chris sponsored Oliver Queen Beard Report. The reporters discuss Oliver's tactician abilities. Laurel supriseingly continues to develop in the positive direction, but still does not have any chemistry with Oliver. What role does Diggle play on the show now? Is it just to slows the plot down?

Reporter Chris gets proof that HIVE is not the biggest Damian Darhk fan and Malcolm lets him know it. Political Intern is now with Ruve. Is he a DOUBLE DOUBLE plant or just a one trick pony?

Director Synopsis: Following the events of William's kidnapping, Darhk has become less powerful, but Carrie Cutter, a.k.a. Cupid, has emerged into Star City to cause chaos on the city and the Green Arrow. IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4862544/?ref_=tt_ep_nx Promo: http://comicbook.com/2016/02/25/arrow-broken-hearts-extended-trailer-released/ In a decidedly set-up-for-the-rest-of-the-season Arrow episode lacking of fight choreography and filled with Oliver and Felicity's breakup residue (just how is Oliver dealing with getting dumped?), the Starling Tribune Reporters run down the episode with a little insight that ties in the broader season stories and plots. While Cupid was the best part of the episode her was potentially underused. Cupid's rage was somewhat mis-directed and should have been focused on the happily married head of A.R.G.U.S. Lyla Diggle and the organization she leads. The episode's fight choreography was a bit lacking but the episode still saw it's share of action with motorcycle and car stunts. Perhaps the more important story over Cupid was what was happening with Damian Darkh. Damian didn't say a word all episode and was still intimidating and the Reporters are swayed toward's Damian's wedding ring being magic. Speaking of magic, was the totem found in the Flashbacks on Lian Yu Damian's totem? The Reporters spend some time on Oliver and Felicity's break-up and touch on if Felicity made the right call or not as well as explore if “Olicity” actually got in the way of the show moving forward, especially since Felicity essentially walked away from Team Arrow at the end of the episode. Does the break-up set the stage for Oliver and Laurel in the future? Laurel was definitely showing her legal prowess in the courtroom but should she have been recused for conflict of interest? The Reporters talk about Lance's decision to testify and wonder if this finally cements who's in the grave.

The Starling Tribune: An Unofficial Arrow TV Show Fan Podcast
Starling Tribune - Season 4 Edition – Episode 14: Code Of Silence (A CW Network Arrow Television Show Fan Podcast) The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network This week the Starling Tribune Reporters find themselves looking back a lot to season 1 Arrow, talk about the current episode Code Of Silence, and look into the future of the show. Just in case you forgot that Oliver keeps secrets but doesn't like to, Arrow points it out again this week. Back on the island Conklin succumbs to Oliver Queen's knife fighting skills (if only Conklin trained better Ryan Robbins would still be with the show). As the flashbacks progress will the show really be able to reconcile season one Ollie with Flashback Ollie? “Bam Bam” came through amazingly with the fight chorography this week and the reporters love it when he comes to direct and episode. The reporters are also surprised at how fast Malcolm Merlyn integrated with H.I.V.E.. The turn to help Feilicty walk about was really fast and really Terrific! The rpoertes wish for a Cisco'ed Spartan helmet soon. Neil's ARGUS t-shirt seems safe from the dumpster bin…at least for now. Alex, the political intern, was sorely missed this week…unless he was cleaning up a Damian Darhk mess. The reporters are cringing for William Clayton and fear the worst for Samantha Clayton (#AnnaHopkinsForCaptainMarvel). This week was again a big shakeup for the reporter's “Who's In The Grave” and the trio rate and debate the villains of the week. The reporters wrap up the episode with a list of Easter Eggs, Arrow News, Feedback and comments from the chat. Thank you for downloading and listening!

The Starling Tribune: An Unofficial Arrow TV Show Fan Podcast
Starling Tribune - Season 4 Edition – Episode 13: Sins Of The Father (A CW Network Arrow Television Show Fan Podcast) The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network In a decidedly bittersweet week for Arrow, The Starling Tribune reporters Chris, Neil and Stargate Pioneer drop down their thoughts on what occurred on the screen within the episode “Sins Of The Father” and off the create with the battling DC and Arrow creative teams. The reporters run down the Father-Son/Daughter sets on the show and attempt to pick the “best” father of the bunch. The trio also attempt to identify the episode theme which has Neil confused and both SP and Chris going in opposite directions. Malcolm shows his true colors – again – and Oliver has to decide on how to deal with it (#severancepackage). The fight scenes were some of the most intense and complex since The Siege at the end of season 2 in Starling City. Nyssa and Laurel's relationship continues to transform and possible strengthen as comrades. The Reporters also analyze The Calculator's dual reveals to Felicity and Overwatch and how Felicity responds in kind. This week was a big shakeup for the reporter's “Who's In The Grave” predictions and Chris throws out a second hashtag for the episode #WallerStillLives. The reporters wrap up the episode with a list of Easter Eggs, Arrow News, Feedback and comments from the chat. Thank you for downloading and listening!

CC @StarlingTribune Starling Tribune Published by Stargate Pioneer · February 9 at 1:42pm · DC just doesn't "get it" sometimes. http://www.bleedingcool.com/…/deathstroke-unavailable-to-…/… FACEBOOK: Deathstroke Unavailable To Arrow Producers; Waller's Fate Not A DC Decision - Bleeding Cool... While speculating on where the DC Comics character Deathstroke might land in the DC Films universe, Heroic Hollywood pointed to Arrow executive producer Ma Stephen Jondrew Stephen Jondrew The Slade Wilson story lines are some of the best stories in all of the Arrowverse. I think that it's important for people to remember the history of the universe (CW) and this feels like a kick in the face to that. I have always enjoyed Batman and Superman movies to some degree, I really enjoyed Man of Steel. However, actions like this (if true) kind of make me wish that the upcoming films flop and we see them disappear for a decade.

The Starling Tribune: An Unofficial Arrow TV Show Fan Podcast
Starling Tribune - Season 4 Edition – Episode 12: Unchained (A CW Network Arrow Television Show Fan Podcast) The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network In another great week with an Arrow episode the Starling Tribune Reporters Chris, Neil and Stargate Pioneer break it all down for you. Nyssa and Katana were back! And Oliver Queen unites all women superheroes everywhere. The Reporters discuss just how much more Katana Arrow will get versus the DC movie universe. The reporters also discuss self-destiny as the theme for the episode. The ladies get a semi-shirtless Stephen Amell/Oliver Queen scene (but it's also a torture scene). Did the stone come from the tattoo? Reporter Stargate Pioneer thought the Nanda Parbat fight scene was a bit weak but the rest of the fight choreography was pretty good, including Curtis getting his shots in with Roy. While the reporters discuss how good it was to have Roy back they discuss if the character was supposed to die in the episode. Were Roy's contacts from Curtis' designs at Palmer Tech computers? Felicity/Overwatch is really wheeling that chair! And the Lair has ramps! The reporters enjoyed the superhero pose in front of the explosion. The reporters also rate the villain of the week (The Calculator). The Starling Tribune hashtag of the week is #someonegotshanked. The reporters wrap up the episode with a list of Easter Eggs, Arrow News, Feedback and comments from the chat. Thank you for downloading and listening!

The Starling Tribune: An Unofficial Arrow TV Show Fan Podcast
Starling Tribune - Season 4 Edition – Episode 8: Legends Of Yesterday The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network It's a special edition of The Starling Tribune as the reporters discuss the Arrow and Flash crossover, Legends Of Today and Legends Of Yesterday. The GonnaGeek network steals a page from the CW network and does a crossover of our own as The Starling Tribune sends Reporter Neil this week to The Crimson Comet and Jonolobster from The Crimson Comet is welcomed to the reporter's pool for the week. We love the Geek And Avengers references this week ala the superhero loft party and the farmhouse scenes. They three reporters talk about how great these episodes are for new viewers to start on, why the Arrow Lair's computers have been acting all weird, and how some characters and secondary characters were not given their full due. What an awesome complete death scene! The reporters give their take on Big Boss fight scene #1 and Bg Boss fight scene #2. Damian Darhk and Vandal Savage see a speedster for the first time. The reporters have a theory on Vandal Savage and the League Of Assassins. The reporters are wowed by Felicity's tech-fu being able to play a BetaMax on a dime using modern equipment. Even while he is on the road for the week, Neil reports remotely from Central City. Going deeper into the episode, the reporters discuss is Felicity is acting out of character and if Samatha Clayton is asking too much of Oliver. Those issues bother's Stargate Pioneer so much he reached out to Anna Hopkins to get her take on what happened in the episode. (#AnnaHopkinsForCaptainMarvel) The reporters salivate over the meta-ness of Oliver Queen playing with William's Green Arrow action figure in the future! Isn't it silly that Hawkman and Hawkgirl's outfits always fit? There's always a cost to magic and time travel. The reporters give their answers to who will win in a cage match: Zoom, Savage or Darhk. The reporters tell which trailer they are more excited over: Legends Of Tomorrow Trailer or The Batman v Superman Trailer. And finally the reporters close off this special episode by going over some Easter Eggs, taking some feedback and reviewing the new in Arrow related news.
