It's time for a little bit of a breather. Flag confronts Waller about Nemesis, Deadshot confronts his feelings, and Enchantress confronts an obstacle in herself. Also, Boomerang has a good idea?

The Squad is trapped in Russia, The US Embassy wants nothing to do with the team, and the Russians have called out the army. Enchantress has lost contact with reality and Nightshade is hurt. What else could go wrong for the Suicide Squad?

Okay, so the team is in Russia and now they know their subject doesn't want to be rescued, what could possibly complicate things more? Well, for starters, how about Enchantress going bonkers or the entire Russian army being mobilized against them?

The Squad is sent into Russia to bring back a now-famous dissident. To get in and around the USSR is no easy deal, especially when they will have a wanted prisoner with them so they need some extra-special planning.

Nick E. Tarabay is most recognized for his work on the Spartacus franchise as Ashur. He has also been a Klingon in Star Trek: Into Darkness, Digger Harkness aka Captain Boomerang on Arrow and several other notable projects like Longmore, NCIS and is currently developing a new series based on the novel of the same name by Karim El Koussa entitled The Phoenician Code. The Phoenician Code is a project that of Paul Khoury that follows historical, theological and archaeological facts fictionalized for a story that has been dubbed, "the antithesis of the Di Vinci Code." Both Tarabay and Koussa were born in Lebanon making them direct descendants of the Phoenician people, making the story a far more personal event. Tarabay, who grew up during the Lebanese Civil War, with a no-nonsense father, who allowed his son to pursue his acting aspirations. Tarabay, in his own words was an active kid that couldn't sit still and whether performing Motion Capture (MoCap), like The Butcher in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Ashur in Spartacus, he enjoys the physicality as being part of his performances. We caught up with Tarabay to discuss how he remains healthy during all this craziness going on in the world, the mental toughness in remaining calm not only during a civil war but a pandemic as well, his love of acting a whole host of other things.

(Date: 17 May 2017) The cake ordered by Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) for the birthday party was decorated with art by Lord Mesa, an artist who regularly publishes DCTV-related fanart on Twitter. Lord Mesa gained popularity in Arrow's early seasons for drawing chibi fanart inspired by noteworthy scenes, many of which were regularly reshared by the show's cast and crew. In the years since, his work has grown to Arrow's sister shows: The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl. While this Easter egg has little bearing on the show as a whole, it's a nice way to honor someone who has contributed a lot to the Arrow fandom.

The sixth season of Arrow will unfold Thursdays at 8 p.m., followed at 9 p.m. by the 13th season of Supernatural. The new DC Comics-inspired superhero drama Black Lightning will join returning series iZombie, The 100 and The Originals as part of The CW's midseason lineup. Returning Arrowverse series Supergirl, The Flash and DC's Legends of Tomorrow will remain in their current nights and times.

Now, while you may initially ask yourself "Why does this matter?" it's important to note that there are a lot of people all over the world who struggle to come to terms with things like this and look to their favourite LGBT actors and celebs for inspiration when it comes to talking to their friends and families.

The disc releases will come on August 15, 2017. Per the official release, "Fans can zoom through 17 exhilarating episodes from the second season, plus exciting special features including the show's 2016 Comic-Con Panel, crossover featurette, gag-reel and deleted scenes." Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/05/16/legends-of-tomorrow-season-2-home-video-details-revealed/ The CW's Black Lightning not part of Arrowverse, crossover unlikely (Date: 18 May 2017) CW chief Mark Pedowitz revealed to reporters on Thursday morning ahead of the network's upfront presentation that Black Lightning does not take place in the Arrowverse — the same shared universe that the other four series call home. Couple that with the fact that Black Lightning films in Atlanta, while the rest of the shows film in Vancouver, and it's basically a logistical nightmare. Black Lightning is also slated to debut in midseason, not in the fall. “We do not aim to do a five-way crossover,” Pedowitz said. “Black Lightning, at this time, is not part of the Arrowverse. It is a separate situation. But there will be a big fourth quarter crossover with all four of the shows that are on in the fall.” Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/05/18/cw-superheroes-crossover-black-lightning-flash-arrow-legends-tomorrow/ NEXT EPISODE Promo for Next Week's: Episode - “Lian Yu” (Date: 17 May 2017) Article:https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/arrow/arrow-season-5-finale-promo-features-the-return-of-manu-bennett-as-slade-wilson-deathstroke-a151205 Episode: “Lian Yu” [Season 5 Episode 23] Air Date: Wednesday, May 24, 2017 Summary: Oliver assembles a group of unlikely allies - Slade, Nyssa, Merlyn and Digger Harkness - to engage in an epic battle against Chase and his army.

After recent events, Oliver decides to recruit a group of unlikely allies – Slade (guest star Manu Bennett), Nyssa (guest star Katrina Law), Merlyn (John Barrowman) and Digger Harkness (guest star Nick. E. Tarabay) – to defeat Chase. However, Chase has his own army – Black Siren (guest star Katie Cassidy), Evelyn Sharp (guest star Madison McLaughlin) and Talia al Ghul (guest star Lexa Doig) – and the forces collide in an explosive season finale. “Supergirl” Season 2 finale: Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) challenges Rhea (guest star Teri Hatcher) to battle to save National City. Meanwhile, Superman (guest star Tyler Hoechlin) returns and Cat Grant (guest star Calista Flockhart) offers Supergirl some sage advice. “The Flash” Season 3 finale: With nothing left to lose, Barry (Grant Gustin) takes on Savitar (also Grant Gustin) in an epic conclusion to season three.

It's not that it's easy, but using violence — which Chase and Oliver still do throughout the season — is sort of the go-to. What's been interesting to see this year is to see that but the underpinnings of it being so psychological and so manipulative and so built on the underpinnings of what Chase knows about Oliver and who he is. This was the perfect storm — a great way to change up the villain and to get inside of Oliver's head in a season that we needed to. We needed him to be reflective and talking and looking back at his past, and Chase was the perfect spark to light that fire.” Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/05/11/arrow-prometheus-robert-queen/ Arrow Season 6 To Explore the Conflicts Between Being Mayor and Being Green Arrow (Date: 10 May 2017) During a recent interview, showrunner Wendy Mericle told ComicBook.com that the man in the hood will still be spending his days at City Hall come 2016. Mericle said, “What's going to be a central question for season 6 is how can he do both? We've played with that in the past in different ways before, but I think that the success of what he's done in the mayor's office and his ability to have impact is going to raise those stakes to a different level and hopefully create some great stories.” Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/05/11/arrow-season-6-oliver-mayor/ Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Arrow, Once, Chicago Fire, Elementary, Blindspot, The Flash, NCIS and More! (Date: 09 May 2017) Black Siren is a badass villain. What can we expect? —You can expect… badass villainy. “She comes back as part of Chase's plan,” says co-showrunner Wendy Mericle. ” Chase knows exactly what he's doing, and he understands how unsettling seeing somebody that looks like Laurel Lance is going to be for the rest of the team,” her “dad” Quentin included. “And from a writing perspective, it's just fun storytelling. Katie Cassidy does an amazing job as Black Siren, and seeing her take on Dinah, or her take on Lance, is going to be fun.” This will be the first Arrow season finale that does not take place in Starling City. Can we expect the same kind of intense fights, or will this be more of an emotional showdown? —“Both,” answers Wendy Mericle. “One of the fun parts of having Prometheus and Oliver going toe-to-toe this season has been they're both really great fighters, but by the same token, Prometheus is a tremendous psychological villain and he's going to hit Oliver right where it hurts. That's going to be a double whammy for him in the finale.” Link:http://tvline.com/2017/05/09/arrow-season-5-spoilers-black-siren-returns/ GENERAL DC TV NEWS Supergirl EP Teases General Zod's Arrival, Comic-Inspired Appearance (Date: 06 May 2017) The “how” and “when” of General Zod's arrival on Supergirl remains a mystery, but thanks to executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, at least we know what the legendary DC Comics villain will be wearing. He says that Supergirl‘s Zod (played by Smallville actor Mark Gibbon) will be sporting “a little bit of that Nazi uniform look you'd see in the comics in the '60s. Visually, he has a different look from the mechanical armor that Man of Steel did, or the real spacey clothes Richard Donner's version had.

Suffice it to say, Team Flash will certainly be shocked by this turn of events during Tuesday's episode. “What's interesting about people's reactions — we certainly wrote it, but just the way the cast performs it — is it's one thing to have seen that giant metal suit and hear that there is a version of Barry inside of it,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells EW. “It's quite another thing when you actually come face-to-face with what's inside.” Plus, watch a trailer for the final episodes of season 3.

(Date: 09 May 2017) Will we ever see Supergirl‘s Mon-El in a super suit? — T'would be nice to see the boy do his thing not in street clothes, and ideally by the Season 2 finale. When we delivered your Q to showrunner Andrew Kreisberg, he answered, “I can't say right now, but I wouldn't be surprised if one day you got to see that.” Link:http://tvline.com/2017/05/09/arrow-season-5-spoilers-black-siren-returns/ NEXT EPISODE Promo for Next Week's: Episode - “Missing” (Date: 11 May 2017) Article:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-missing-trailer/ Episode: “Missing” [Season 5 Episode 22] Air Date: Wednesday, May 17, 2017 Summary: Black Siren returns to give Chase help; Felicity plans a birthday party for Oliver; Lance is angry with Rene for missing the custody hearing about his daughter.

This week DJ and graphic designer Michelle Coraci sit down to talk with one of the Captains from our Craziest Captain bracket. Digger Harkness a.k.a. Captain Boomerang stops by to give us some insight into his boomerang themed process. He gives us a behind the scenes look at the recent drama concerning the Suicide Squad movie. He also talks about his appearance on Flash and his unbelievably stupid origin story. Vote for Digger and the other Captains at www.madbracketstatus.com
Oliver and Roy track down the home of Digger Harkness, a boomerang-wielding murderer, but they only find A.R.G.U.S. operatives looking for the same man. S.T.A.R. Labs' Dr. Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon arrive in Starling City to help Felicity analyze DNA from the arrow that killed Sara. Digger attempts to kill Lyla; Roy and Oliver arrive to stop him, but need assistance from Barry Allen, who uses his super speed to stop a couple of boomerangs from killing Oliver. Later, Lyla reveals Digger was part of the Suicide Squad, and Oliver agrees to allow Barry to assist in the investigation. Oliver's interrogation tactics lead Barry to question how emotionally stable Oliver is. The team track Digger's location, but it turns out to be a ruse that allows Digger to trace their hideout, where he wounds Lyla before being forced to run away. In order to escape, Digger plants 5 bombs around the city. While Oliver captures Digger, Barry uses the rest of the team to defuse the bombs at the same time. Flashbacks to Hong Kong show Oliver learning how to torture suspects effectively to get information.
