Podcast appearances and mentions of wendy mericle

A volte ci chiediamo perché facciamo certe scelte: cioè, mettere nella stessa puntata talmente distanti che dovrebbero finire in due universi diversi. La prima è Willow, creata dallo sceneggiatore di Solo: A Star Wars Story, Jonathan Kasdan, insieme a Wendy Mericle, Willow è il sequel del film fantasy omonimo prodotto da George Lucas e diretto … Continua a leggere "13×09 – The Bad Guy e Willow, di palo in frasca"

Voici une présentation de Willow la série par quelqu'un qui n'a jamais vu le film de 1988. Le mal revient et le Nelwyn va être sollicité par son ancienne camarade Sorsha pour sauver une deuxième fois le monde des griffes de Bavmorda. Créée par Jonathan Kasdan et Wendy Mericle, la nouvelle série de Lucasfilm pourrait ravir autant les grands nostalgiques que ceux et celles qui découvrent pour la première fois cette œuvre de fantasy. Direction Disney+ le 30 novembre pour une aventure enchantée parsemée d'embûches. https://youtu.be/4A9kq7iUgrY Une nouvelle génération d'aventuriers va toquer à la porte de Willow. Sorsha (Joanne Whalley qui reprend son rôle) a deux enfants jumeaux, et dans le premier épisode son fils se fait enlever par les sbires de Bavmorda et sa sœur jure de le retrouver. À ces fins, elle se fait accompagner de sa meilleure amie apprentie chevalière, du prince qui est son promis pour consolider une alliance politique, de l'aide cuisinière amoureuse de son frère avec un grand secret caché, et un voleur qui était emprisonné dans les donjons, qui vont partir tous ensemble pour une quête. On a donc Kit (Ruby Cruz), la princesse téméraire et obstinée qui veut faire ses preuves, Jade (Eric Kellyman) prête à tout pour la protéger et à devenir une chevalière digne de ce nom, Graydon (Tony Revolori) un peu nerd qui connait les contes et légendes, Dove (Ellie Bamber) qui prêche que l'amour peut surmonter tout, Boorman (Amar Chadha-Patel) sournois et l'adulte du lot. Willow va les aider dans ce nouveau voyage qui va les amener jusqu'au bout du monde. Concernant ce dernier, pour les fans du film, ils le reconnaîtront sans problème, du jeune fermier il est devenu chef de village, mais son cœur est toujours au bon endroit. Pour résumer : une véritable bonne surprise. Willow propose des personnages drôles, caricaturés suffisamment pour qu'on comprenne leurs personnalités mais comme ils en jouent, on sent presque du second degré dans un bel univers aux décors mystérieux. Le langage moderne dans un monde de fantasy n'est pas du tout dérangeant et même si on ne retient pas vraiment les noms aux sonorités étranges leur but final reste bien en tête. Les effets spéciaux sont bien présents, tant avec les monstres qui sont très bien représentés qu'avec la magie qui se montre de temps en temps. Là où La roue du temps propose également un groupe de jeunes héros dans une ambiance bien plus sombre, Willow assume son humour avec des répliques parfois naïves et d'autres fois cinglantes avec ce qu'il faut de noirceur. Il s'agit donc d'un programme de Noël parfait pour petits et grands. [bs_show url="willow"] Découvrez les nouveaux héros de Willow sur Disney+ à partir du 30 novembre pour sept épisodes.

What was the link to the episode's name? Vince's death was pointless The Crybabies fell for a trap, so all their training was for nothing Quentin's attempt to reach “Laurel” failed Flashback! 5 years ago - Central City When Dinah met Vince Their time undercover until time of particle explosion Dinah insisted on not pulling out of the job Did you think Vince was going to die? Fight scenes and stunts Finding bomb Ollie and Diggle Arrows; hand-to-hand; Diggle has a firearm Bomb being loaded onto a truck Ollie finds room with people connected to bomb Anatoly - give you choice Diggle - I'll take care of people Ollie - rooftop fighting sequence Four trucks leave; two cars with men Ollie fights guys from cars Bomb gone Finding Vince Vince didn't turn on comm; trap Dinah fighting way to Vince Rene and his guns Curtis - follow the T-sphere Vince frees himself Dinah bo staff - why no cry?

Katrina Law is returning to “Arrow” for a single episode later this year. Executive producers Wendy Mericle and Marc Guggenheim said. “In an unforgettable episode that will change ‘Arrow' forever, Katrina Law returns as the Daughter of the Demon, Nyssa Al Ghul. Nyssa comes to Star City to warn of an impending danger that will threaten everything we know and love.” http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/arrow-katrina-law-nyssa-al-ghul-1202675995/   GENERAL DC NEWS:   Legends of Tomorrow adds Keiynan Lonsdale as series regular (Date: 19 Jan 2018) Welcome to the Waverider, Kid Flash! Following the departure of Franz Drameh and Victor Garber, Keiynan Lonsdale has joined the cast of DC's Legends of Tomorrow as a series regular, EW has learned. Executive producer Phil Klemmer said in a statement, “We loved working with Keiynan in our series premiere — the episode in which we learned that in between seasons 2 and 3 he had been fighting crime in Central City with Nick Zano's Nate Heywood. So when his character stepped away from Flash to go on walkabout, after being dumped and feeling somewhat estranged from his family and team, we knew that Wally West would fit in perfectly on Legends. After all, our show is about a collection of unlikely heroes who all began their journeys questioning who they are and where they belong — only to find those answers while traveling through time and having wacky adventures. So now, Wally West is not only back in the company of old friends from the Arrowverse, he's fighting alongside a former enemy and career arsonist Mick Rory/Dom Purcell. By the end of this season, Wally will learn that the Legends have a different definition of what it means to be a hero.” http://ew.com/tv/2018/01/19/legends-of-tomorrow-adds-keiynan-lonsdale-as-series-regular/ NEXT EPISODE   Link to Promo: (Date: 01 Feb 2018) http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/02/02/arrow-season-6-episode-13-the-devils-greatest-trick/   Episode: “The Devil's Greatest Trick” [Season 6 Episode 13] Air Date: Thursday, February 8, 2018 Summary: Cayden James launches a full out attack when he uncovers a secret about the Green Arrow that puts him over the edge.

With 1.39 million viewers, the show slipped to a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demo, matching its non-Thanksgiving series low. Part of what caused the struggle for Arrow is the crowded Thursday night block across every network. ABC's Scandal (5.2 mil/1.3). NBC has its all-star night of comedy. Will & Grace (2.56 mil) and Great News (2.19 mil). [Michelle's Notes: Project Runway All Stars is at 9PM] http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/01/26/tv-ratings-arrow-supernatural-thursday-night/   CW Won't Air More Than 4 Superhero Shows At One Time (Date: 24 Jan 2018) The CW has taken its own steps in hopes of staving off audience exhaustion: limiting the number of superhero dramas that air at one time to four. The CW has The Flash, Supergirl, DC's Legends of Tomorrow and, just this month, Black Lighting. However, the Arrowverse programming block hasn't been bulletproof in the ratings, which have dipped 7.5 percent this season (although numbers are said to be flat with last season when streaming and DVR audiences are taken into account). That said, however, he doesn't foresee the current demand for superheroes coming to an end soon. “The audience will tell you when the fatigue has set in,” Pedowitz said. “If you have a quality show or a fun show, the audience will stay with it.” https://www.cbr.com/cw-tv-4-superhero-shows/ 'Riverdale,' 'The Flash,' and 'Arrow' Take a Week Off in Mid-February (Date: 26 Jan 2018) The same week Supergirl begins a hiatus to make way for the return of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, numerous other comic book shows on The CW are taking a break. The Flash, Riverdale, and Arrow will all be taking a week off starting the week of February 12th, leaving Legends of Tomorrow and Black Lightning to pick up a fair amount of slack (along with the season finale of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). There is no official word when the shows will return, although it seems likely that they will return either the next week or following a short hiatus. Breaks of one to three weeks are common for each of the three shows, either to accommodate scheduling on The CW or to get ahead on post-production. http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/01/26/riverdale-the-flash-and-arrow-take-a-week-off-in-mid-february/   GENERAL DC NEWS:   Legends of Tomorrow adds Keiynan Lonsdale as series regular (Date: 19 Jan 2018) Welcome to the Waverider, Kid Flash!

The jacket has a gauge on the left shoulder, not unlike the one worn by Firestorm. He also wears a pair of goggles, with black eye makeup underneath to obscure his face so that he won't be easily recognizable. The costume is likely of Cisco's design, since it will have to stretch and conform to Dibney's metahuman abilities. https://www.cbr.com/the-flash-elongated-man-costume-2/ Arrow Cast and Crew Interviews:   Legends of Tomorrow: Constantine Boards the Waverider in New Photos (Date: 24 Jan 2018) DC's Legends of Tomorrow welcomes Constantine aboard the Waverider in several new photos from “Daddy Darhkest,” the upcoming midseason premiere of Season 3.

HOW ARROW, FLASH, SUPERGIRL, AND LEGENDS WILL SAVE THE DAY IN 2017(Date: 06 Oct 2017) When asked about Vigilante, Wendy Mericle said, "He'll definitely come back. We left that dangling deliberately in season five knowing that we would bring that character back in season 6. He'll have a really cool story line, not just in respect to the city, but also with respect to a particular member of the team. We're intrigued and we're kind of going through the casting process right now. We're very excited about it." https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/how-arrow-the-flash-supergirl-legends-of-tomorrow-save-the-day-in-2017/4/    Arrow's David Ramsey previews Diggle's turn as Green Arrow (Date: 25 Oct 2017) How will Diggle handle now being the leader of Team Arrow? EW sat down with Ramsey on set to get the scoop. When asked if Diggle's stint as Green Arrow will last, Ramsey replied, "No. No, it's Green Arrow. Stephen Amell is Green Arrow. It's not going to last. Of course not, but I think it's very interesting and it's an interesting twist on how it fits into the ultimate theme of the season, I think it's very clever. I think it's an interesting detour. It also gives us some time with Oliver. I think it's great, and he has some great writing. Stuff is happening between him and Deathstroke, and he and his son and he and Felicity. It's awesome. I think holding it for the few episodes I have the mantle, that's the appropriate amount of time." http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/25/arrow-david-ramsey-diggle-green-arrow/     ARROW CAST AND CREW INTERVIEWS   'The Flash': "Girl's Night Out" Photos Offer First Look At KateeSackhoff As Amunet Black (Date: 28 Oct 2017)  KateeSackhoff is coming to The Flash, and she's making bad look good. Sackhoff tweeted out the first official photo of herself as Amunet Black, a villain appearing in the episode “Girl's Night Out” of The Flash Season Four.  http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/10/28/the-flash-girls-night-out-katee-sackhoff-amunet-black/    Watch Mark Hamill Get Kidnapped by the Joker in 'Justice League Action' Short (Date: 27 Oct 2017) In the short, Hamill voices himself as he is kidnapped by The Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill) and The Trickster (voiced by Mark Hamill). The trio eventually come upon Swamp Thing (voiced by Mark Hamill). http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/10/27/watch-mark-hamill-kidnapped-by-the-joker-in-justice-league-actio/    FEEDBACK   Email from David H: I love listening to your podcasts. You guys are fun to listen to and your commentary on Arrow is a great supplement to the show.   I liked the connection SP made over the summer between Legends and Timeless (I also loved that show). I'm loving this season of Arrow. Have you guys noticed how the relationship has evolved between Oliver and Quentin? I feel like he has become like a second father to Oliver. It's amazing how it's changed from antagonistic in season 1 to like family in season 5/6. Its kind of sad in a way because I feel like they are going to kill him off.     Also I wanted to share this image of the Cincinnati museum center.  If you go back to the crossover from last year and see the Hall of Justice, you can see that the attached image looks very familiar.  I'm from Cincinnati and the museum center was the inspiration for the original hall of justice.     NEXT EPISODE   Part 2: Promo for Next Week's Episode - Michelle  Link to Promo: (Date: 26 Oct 2017) http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/10/27/arrow-season-6-episode-4-reversal-promo-black-siren/     Episode: “Reversal” [Season 6 Episode 4]  Air Date: Thursday, November 2, 2017  Summary: Black Siren launches another attack on Star City just when Oliver has gotten things in order.  Director: Gregory Smith  Writers: Sarah Tarkoff and Emilio Ortega Aldrich    IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6493658/?ref_=ttep_ep_cur      Join The Starling Tribune each week as we stream live on Sunday Evenings at 6:00 PM eastern or 5:00 PM Central at www.geeks.live.

Status Unknown Artemis Talia  Nyssa   ARROW NEWS:   Arrow villain Prometheus to appear in four-way crossover (Date: 29 Sept 2017) EW has confirmed that the Arrow villain will appear in the four-way crossover between Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow, but he's the Prometheus from Earth-X, otherwise known as Prometheus-X. We'll also see Dark Arrow, Dark Flash, and Overgirl. Alas, there are no plans for Josh Segarra to return as Prometheus, which raises the question: Who is under that mask?  http://ew.com/tv/2017/09/29/arrow-prometheus-crossover/    ArrowverseCrossover Set Photo Appears to Show A Double Wedding (Date: 11 Oct 2017)  We knew Barry Allen and Iris West would tie the knot in this year's huge Arrowversecrossover, but a set photo suggests pair of Arrow character may get hitched at the same time. The set photo has Grant Gustin and Candice Patton dressed to the nines on their big day, but the surprisingly part is that Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards are right alongside them, with Amell's Oliver Queen apparently placing a ring on the finger of Felicity's finger.   http://www.cbr.com/arrowverse-crossover-photo-oliver-felicity-married/   Arrow Introduces DC Comics' Onyx in Season 6 (Date: 06 month year) The third episode of Arrow‘s sixth season is set to bring in another character from DC Comics: Onyx. A member of the League of Assassins, Onyx decides to give up taking lives to become a vigilante — she's typically an ally of Batman in the comics. The official synopsis of the episode reveals that Onyx will be played by Chastity Dotson (Pitch, Veronica Mars). Her character will lead a rogue black-ops team to break into Kord Industries. It's likely that she'll run into Oliver Queen and Team Arrow during her mission to retrieving a deadly item. http://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-6-onyx/   Arrow's Season 6 Sizzle Reel Teases Deathstroke'sEye Injury (Date: 10 Oct 2017)  A new sizzle reel for the sixth season of the CW's Arrow teases a major moment for the Wilson family. The video introduces Arrow fans to Liam Hall, who will play Joe Wilson, the son of Slade Wilson, otherwise known as the international assassin Deathstroke. It looks like Joe will be on the hunt for revenge, specifically against the man who took his father's eye – Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow himself. http://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-6-sizzle-reel-deathstroke-eye/   Arrow's EP On Prometheus' Victim, Arsenal's Return & Vigilante's True Identity (Date: 12 Oct 2017) CBR spoke with showrunner Wendy Mericle about what she and the rest of her crew have in store for Team Arrow in Season 6. While she wouldn't offer so much as a clue regarding which character met their final fate, Mericle was more than happy to discuss the possibility of seeing Black Siren achieve some level of redemption this season, and hoe excited she is for Roy Harper to return n to Star City. And, she promises, fans can expect a definite answer to a question that's been haunting Oliver and company when the show reveals Vigilante's secret identity once and for all. http://www.cbr.com/arrow-interview-wendy-mericle-vigilante-arsenal-deathstroke/   GENERAL DC TV NEWS Victor Garber to Leave DC's Legends of Tomorrow (Date: 11 Oct 2017) Garber – who plays Martin Stein, one half of Firestorm – will be exiting DC's Legends of Tomorrow during the current season. His departure has been rumored for some months now, and seemed imminent once it was revealed in September that he'd be returning to Broadway in Hello, Dolly! The report states that Garber's exit has been planned meticulously to give Stein a fitting send-off. It's also said he'll remain a series regular throughout the third season, which premiered last night, though he's not likely to return for episodes beyond those he's already filmed. This means Jaxwill need to find another half to remain as the hero Firestorm.  http://www.cbr.com/victor-garber-leaves-dcs-legends-of-tomorrow/   Matt Ryan to Reprise 'Constantine' Role for 2-Part 'Legends of Tomorrow' Arc (Date: 09 Oct 2017) Matt Ryan will reprise his role of demon hunter John Constantine for a two-episode arc on Legends of Tomorrow this season. He will appear in episodes nine and 10 of Legends of Tomorrow season three, which will take place chronologically after his appearance on Arrow and involve a confrontation with the Big Bad. According to executive producer Phil Klemmer, "We knew that an alienated, chain-smoking, bisexual, world-weary demonologist would feel right at home among our Legends."    http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/matt-ryan-constantine-legends-tomorrow-2-part-arc-1047123    Constantine Lights Up With First Look At Animated Series(Date: 08 Oct 2017) John Constantine smokes a cigarette or two, and uses some mild profanity, in the action-filled first look at his upcoming animated series from CW Seed. Debuted at New York Comic Con, the preview shows Matt Ryan, star of NBC's live-action Constantine, return to his role as DC Comics' fan-favorite magician and con man. Constantine certainly appears to be in classic form, as in the sneak peek he's invited several demons to an unconsecrated church, under false pretenses, naturally, where they're to be feasted upon by something else.   http://www.cbr.com/constantine-animated-series-preview/    Legends of Tomorrow: The Dominators Return – With A Twist (Date: 13 Oct 2017) This Halloween, The CW's ragtag band of time-traveling outcasts will encounter a familiar extraterrestrial race when The Dominators return. According to the synopsis for episode four, aptly titled “Phone Home,” the Legends are still dealing with the ramifications of damaging the timeline last season. Now, with Ray's fate hanging in the balance, the team is forced to travel back in time where they discover that a young Dr. Palmer has an even younger Dominator in his possession, which naturally piques the interest of not only the U.S. Government, but the baby alien's protective mother.  http://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrow-dominators-return-atom/   Legends of Tomorrow Sizzle Reel Unleashes Grodd(and Vampires) (Date: 09 Oct 2017)  A new sizzle reel for the upcoming third season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow has been released. The video kicks off right where the second season of Legends left off, with the team having returned to the present day only to find that the world has been overrun with dinosaurs. From there, the reel gets to teasing all the big moments set to debut in season three. The sizzle reel also teases some upcoming episode plots, like a trip to the circus and… Vietnam, where Gorilla Groddmakes an appearance. Then there's the vampires, which look to play a rather large role in the show's third season. The video's end teases the return of Damian Darhk (Neal McDonough).   http://www.cbr.com/dc-legends-of-tomorrow-sizzle-reel/    The Flash: Barry & Iris Undergo Therapy in Upbeat Season 4 Trailer (Date: 11 Oct 2017) The footage shows that working together on Team Flash will require Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Iris West (Candice Patton) to attend couples therapy, though the scene is definitely more humorous than one might first expect. The trailer also shows Danny Trejo as Breacherand Neil Sandilands as The Thinker/Clifford DeVoe.  http://www.cbr.com/the-flash-barry-iris-couples-counceling/    The Flash Showrunner Teases Barry Allen's Season 4 Rebirth (Date: 10 Oct 2017) Showrunner Todd Helbing spoke with CBR about what, exactly, Barry's rebirth will entail. We also dug into Caitlin Snow's continuing identity crisis, the series' take on classic DC comics hero the Elongated Man, and the unique threat the Thinker brings to Central City. http://www.cbr.com/the-flash-showrunner-season-4-rebirth-barry-allen/    The Flash boss teases lighter season 4 (Date: 03 Oct 2017) EW's interview with executive producer Andrew Kreisberg. Discusses Barry and Iris's relationship, Barry's rebirth, The Thinker's motivations, Caitlin Snow's journey, plans for Wells, and Cisco and Gypsy.  http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/03/flash-season-4-premiere-spoilers/     FEEDBACK   The Starling Tribune‏ @StarlingTribune  Oct 12 - The whole hour could've been @JulianaHarkavy & @MzKatieCassidy fighting & I would be happy.

Maybe even Stein's daughter?  The Starling Tribune‏ @StarlingTribune  Oct 11 Replying to @Starsaber_222 Lily's going to be a mom, so I doubt she'll join.

Tuck. Guggenheim announced the novel, titled Arrow: Fatal Legacies, on Twitter on Saturday afternoon after an Amazon listing was spotted. The book will be published by Titan books and will hit shelves on January 30, 2018. The story will help to bridge the gap between the show's fifth and sixth seasons. The synopsis for the novel teases a deeper exploration of Chase's plans on Lian Yu. The untold story bridging between ARROW seasons 5 and 6, exclusive to this novel! In the devastating aftermath of season five, Team Arrow must resume their mission to protect Star City. Those who have survived Chase's trap on Lian Yu discover that his plans did not end there. If his legacies aren't stopped, countless more will die. http://www.cbr.com/arrow-guggenheim-novel/ Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Arrow, Grey's, Once, Lethal Weapon, Supergirl, The Night Shift, NCIS and More (Date: 09 Aug 2017) Have anything new to share about Arrow‘s Slade sticking around? — It appears Oliver will make good on his offer to his frenemy, in trade for his help against Adrian Chase, seeing as the CW series is currently seeking an Aussie lad to fill the guest-starring role of an “introverted, moody and naturally athletic” teenager. https://tvline.com/2017/08/09/arrow-season-6-spoilers-felicity-slade-son/   ARROW Season 6 May See Jessica De Gouw's Huntress Return; Will She Be Friend Or Foe? (Date: 10 Aug 2017) Speaking to Comic Book Resources, executive producer Marc Guggenheim has this response when asked about De Gouw's potential return. “I want to say, ‘Absolutely [to Huntress returning].' Jessica De Gouw has expressed an absolute willingness to come back. Jessica's a favorite actor of mine, and the Huntress is a favorite character of mine. I want to make it happen in Season 6. We've got some plans for the later half of the year that I think she will fit into really well, so we'll see.” https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/arrow/arrow-season-6-may-see-jessica-de-gouws-huntress-return-will-she-be-friend-or-foe-a153187 John Barrowman Addresses Possible Arrowverse Return (Date: 12 Aug 2017) But according to a recent post from Barrowman's Instagram - inspired by our reporting - it appears that he is very willing to return. Barrowman took to Instagram today to address recent comments made by Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow showrunner Marc Guggenheim. As the fan-favorite actor explained, he had been under the impression that there wasn't an opportunity for him to return - until he read our report on Guggenheim's comments. "I am surprised and very happy to hear Marc Guggenheim's comments about Merlyn's future in the Arrowverse," Barrowman explained, "because in a very decisive phone conversation we had with Wendy Mericle, I was led to believe that there were no plans to bring Merlyn back." http://comicbook.com/2017/08/12/arrow-john-barrowman-malcolm-merlyn-dead-return/ Arrow EP Discusses the Possibility of John Barrowman's Return (11 Aug 2017) “That's up to John,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim told reporters during a recent roundtable. “We told John when we called him to tell him about the events of the finale, every single person on all the shows has come back in some shape or form. We've got flashbacks, we've got time travel, we've got parallel universes. Goodbye is never goodbye. He has an open invitation to return to the show any time he wants.” http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/08/11/arrow-merlyn-john-barrowman-return/ Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Arrow, Grey's, Once, Lethal Weapon, Supergirl, The Night Shift, NCIS and More (Date: 09 Aug 2017) There has been a lot of hinting and build-up to Arrow‘s Felicity starting up her own company, Smoak Tech. Are there plans for this in Season 6? — Co-showrunner Marc Guggenheim explained, “That was something we wanted to do last year, and then we got sort of seduced by the Helix storyline. I would say that people wanting that storyline will be happy, but for reasons that I think will be very obvious, it can't be called Smoak Technologies. And all those clever readers who are like, ‘That's because she'll be changing her last name to Queen,' it's not Queen Technologies, either.” https://tvline.com/2017/08/09/arrow-season-6-spoilers-felicity-slade-son/ Arrow Season 6 Villain Will Be the Biggest Bad Yet, EPs Promise (Date: 07 Aug 2017) At Comic-Con International, Arrow executive producers Wendy Mericle and Marc Guggenheim weighed in which characters are returning, how Oliver's son William will affect the show, and how they plan to bring the first four-episode crossover to the CW this fall. The season's theme is family. Examine being a father and a superhero. They “are just focusing on the elements that worked last year. The gritty crime stories, the grounded tone.” http://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-6-villain/   GENERAL DC TV NEWS   Spoiler Room: Scoop on Blindspot, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Grey's Anatomy, and more (Date 10 Aug 2017) Will Kuasa crossing paths with Ray on Vixen be addressed on Legends of Tomorrow? — Ray's  knowledge of Kuasa just may help the Legends version of Vixen. EP Marc Guggenheim says, “If you go back and look at Vixen season 2, I wouldn't exactly call her fighting alongside Ray, she's always been morally questionable, but I think that's what makes it interesting as far as Amaya is concerned is that Ray, at the appropriate moment, will accurately tell her that there were moments where Kuasa was capable of selfless good, so I think that gives Amaya a little bit of hope.” http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/10/spoiler-room-blindspot-brooklyn-nine-nine-greys-anatomy/ ‘The Flash' Casts Sugar Lyn Beard as Hazard (EXCLUSIVE) (Date: 09 Aug 2017) Sugar Lyn Beard has been cast as Rebecca Sharpe, aka Hazard, for the fourth season of “The Flash.” The “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” star will appear in the third episode of The CW series' upcoming season.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

With Adrian Chase (Josh Segarra) still on the loose, mysterious hacker organization Helix offers Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) a way to track him down in exchange for her services involving something illegal. Needless to say, Oliver (Stephen Amell) & Co. won't be happy. But Ollie and Felicity will be forced to face their divide head on next week when the duo gets trapped in the bunker together. Will this actually bring them closer together? EW turned to executive producer Wendy Mericle to get the scoop.

They may have dealt Prometheus a major blow, but he's still at large. Meanwhile, Felicity is knee-deep with the mysterious hacker group Helix, which has some dubious intentions. Even as Team Arrow deals with these threats on two fronts, the return of Katie Cassidy's Black Siren looms in the distance, threatening to kick off with an emotional gut punch. Nevertheless, executive producer Wendy Mericle is looking forward to “Arrow's” future with a lot of hope. Speaking with CBR, Mericle addressed all of the threats facing Team Arrow. She also explained how Season 1 characters like Deathstroke and Yao Fei will return, delved into Felicity's relationship with Oliver, teased Malcolm Merlyn and Artemis' important roles in the Season 5 finale, discussed how the show will fill the gap left by the flashbacks in Season 6 and more.     FEEDBACK   Replies to post about Black Siren Chris Campbell I like her as black siren a lot more than I ever did as laurel or canary lol Adam Nelson Chris is going to love it. :p Haley Malle #NoLaurelNoArrow   NEXT EPISODE   Promo for Next Week's: Episode - “Underneath” (Date: 27 April 2017) Article:https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/arrow/arrow-oliver-felicity-are-trapped-in-the-new-extended-promo-for-season-5-episode-20-underneath-a150661 Episode:   “Underneath” [Season 5 Episode 20] Air Date:           Wednesday, May 3, 2017 Summary:         Oliver and Felicity get trapped in the bunker together, while Diggle and Lyla deal with marital issues.

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

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

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

GENERAL DC TV NEWS Who Can Save Iris on 'The Flash'? Candice Patton Has the BEST Answer (Date: 15 March 2017) Ever since Barry (Grant Gustin) slipped through time and saw god of speed Savitar slaughtering his true love, Iris (Candice Patton), The Flash has been all about changing the future to save her life. Honestly, it's starting to look a little bleak...especially since the producers haven't even clued Patton into what lies ahead for her character! "No, they didn't tell me," she confesses with a laugh. "I have no idea and it's a little alarming. I think I know, but you never really know. I am just in the dark as the audience so it will be really interesting to see if Team Flash can pull it off. I'm hoping they can, because I need a job."

As the latest trailer indicates, it is a suitably tragic moment for his former comrades, because he bemusedly looks ready for a deadly fight.

Throughout the season, Prometheus/Chase's attacks kept intensifying and becoming more and more personal. In his determination to destroy Oliver, Prometheus went so far as to kidnap Green Arrow's girlfriend, Susan, determined to make Oliver suffer as much as he has. Ahead of the next stage of Prometheus' master plan, CBR spoke with actor Josh Segarra about what he feels makes his bad guy tick, and his plans for Oliver Queen and Team Arrow.

Here's What The Actress Says (Date: 14 March 2017) Arrow got a whole lot more badass in the flashbacks in Season 5 thanks to the introduction of none other than Talia al Ghul, who is best known as the daughter of Ra's al Ghul in DC Comics. Arrow's version of Talia stands on her own, however, and she doesn't seem beholden to her father in the slightest. Lexa Doig plays Talia in the flashbacks, and she has brought layers of ambiguity to the character that has led many viewers to wonder if Talia is good or evil deep down. Doig recently spoke to CinemaBlend about her role on Arrow.

She addressed why she and the other showrunners made Chase Prometheus instead of Vigilante, why those chose now to make this reveal, what drives Chase to torture Oliver Queen and more. Why make Chase Prometheus instead of Vigilante? “I think one of the reasons we did that was because everyone would be thinking, “Of course he's Vigilante!” Adrian Chase is Vigilante in the comic books, as you pointed out, and we thought it would be a really fun sort of twist to do what we've always done on the show, which is to take the comic book mythology and turn it on its head and see what kind of story we could mine from a surprise like that. It was also just something different for this season. We wanted to change up how we introduced the big bad and change up when we did it and how we did it. Hopefully, we succeeded in that this year.” She also said that Prometheus is going to mess with Lance as well.

That all changed when Juliana Harkavy was added to the cast as Dinah Drake, otherwise known in the comics as the first Black Canary. However, that doesn't necessarily mean there will be a Green Arrow-Black Canary romance, especially considering the show has never been beholden to the comics. “The idea that Oliver would end up with the Black Canary being Katie Cassidy or any new iteration thereof? To me, it could happen, it could not, but it's certainly not destined to happen or predesigned to happen,” Amell tells EW.

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

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

This season, it's been revealed that she was the one who rescued Oliver from Ishmael Gregor and then proceeded to push him into fulfilling his destiny. Talia has trained Oliver, but she's also an al Ghul. Can she be trusted? Does the apple fall far from the psychotic family tree? Doig recently spoke with CBR about making Talia a badass, mentoring Oliver, her possible connections to Prometheus and the inevitable showdown with Nyssa.

He also shared some stories about how and when he learned about the big twist, as well as why he studied up on Vigilante before arriving in Vancouver to start filming Season 5. “I'm telling them, ‘Oh, I'm playing this guy… I don't really know too much about him, but who knows? It'll be fun, right?' And then they announced Adrian Chase: Vigilante. And I'm like, ‘Oh my gosh, I'm playing Vigilante!' So now, I get to Vancouver, I think I'm playing this guy Vigilante. That's who everybody thought, right? So I start reading ‘Vigilante' comics and reading about Chase and reading about the history of these guys. Then I get to work and I'm talking to Marc. I'm like, ‘Marc, man, I'm really doing my research. I'm really being studious about this Vigilante guy.' And he's like, ‘What do you mean?' And I'm like, ‘Oh, dude, you announced it finally! I'm going to be a great Adrian Chase: Vigilante!' And he says, ‘That's not who you're playing.' ‘What?!' He's like, ‘Yeah, you're playing this guy.' And that's when they took me out on the city and they told me everything. So, to put it this way, me and my wife and my doggie, we moved over to Vancouver thinking one thing and it was revealed once I got here who I was actually playing. That whole journey began at that moment. I feel I'll always look back and laugh at this.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-prometheus-josh-segarra-adrian-chase-fighting-fire-with-fire-susan-williams-oliver-queen-artemis-interview/   ARROW EP WENDY MERICLE ADDRESSES PROMETHEUS' IDENTITY & MOTIVATIONS (Date: 01 March 2017) In the wake of this stunning reveal, executive producer Wendy Mericle spoke to CBR and other reporters about what's in store for Team Arrow now that Prometheus' identity is out in the open. She addressed why she and the other showrunners made Chase Prometheus instead of Vigilante, why those chose now to make this reveal, what drives Chase to torture Oliver Queen and more. Why make Chase Prometheus instead of Vigilante? “I think one of the reasons we did that was because everyone would be thinking, “Of course he's Vigilante!” Adrian Chase is Vigilante in the comic books, as you pointed out, and we thought it would be a really fun sort of twist to do what we've always done on the show, which is to take the comic book mythology and turn it on its head and see what kind of story we could mine from a surprise like that. It was also just something different for this season. We wanted to change up how we introduced the big bad and change up when we did it and how we did it. Hopefully, we succeeded in that this year.” She also said that Prometheus is going to mess with Lance as well.

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

So why is Vigilante trying to kill Mayor Oliver Queen? Fans will find out on March 1, when the DC antihero returns to menace city hall. Synopsis: Oliver (Stephen Amell) faces his biggest challenge yet as mayor. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) continues down her dark path with Helix. After Vigilante attacks Oliver while he's acting as the mayor, Diggle (David Ramsey) leads the team in a mission to stop Vigilante once and for all.

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

Where's Thea?' Willa's [contracted for] 14 out of 23 episodes this year,” Guggenheim revealed. “She's not in all 23. That's not her contract. We've had to write around that.” Contractual matters also may prove a hurdle in bringing Katie Cassidy back for another encore as one Laurel or another, even though Cassidy (as reported over the summer) entered the season with one of those #DCTV-wide deals that theoretically would allow her to pop up on Arrow or any of its many offspring. “We have an idea for how to see [Katie] again, but we haven't made a deal with her,” Guggenheim shared. “She's not a series regular anymore, so we have to make a contract with her, and she's got to be available. We haven't had those conversations. But… we know exactly what we do want to do. Link:http://tvline.com/2017/02/13/arrow-season-5-katie-cassidy-contract-status-willa-holland/   Will Arrow Bring Back Suicide Squad Characters? Here's What David Ramsey Says (Date: 13 Feb 2017) David Ramsey recently spoke with CinemaBlend about all things John Diggle, and he told me this about Digg's future with the Suicide Squad on Arrow: “I can say that we have all the elements. Part of what John Diggle brings to the team is his relationship with ARGUS through his wife Lyla. We're waiting to see how that plays itself out. Diggle was freed last week, and Oliver said to him 'You can go home and hug your wife and son.' So that's a real viable part of Diggle that we have always seen on camera, but it would be nice to see more because he's married to the leader of the Suicide Squad. What does that play out? How does that look? What are those conversations like? We have all the elements of it... I think we have the makings of it. ARGUS is a real viable part of our whole universe, of Legends, Flash, and Arrow. And Diggle just so happens to be married to the leader of ARGUS, so it's right there ready for the picking.” Link:http://www.cinemablend.com/television/1624570/will-arrow-bring-back-suicide-squad-characters-heres-what-david-ramsey-says   Arrow EPs Tease Thea's Role Going Forward in Season 5 (Date: 15 Feb 2017) "She's headed in a direction that's very similar to where her mother was before she was killed in Season 2. We're excited about it." revealed Wendy Mericle. "I'm actually really excited about her storyline because we're taking her to a place where she's been dealing with all of these issues the same way Oliver has, with her bloodlust and with her other elements of her past. And this season's going to find her in a similar place but for very different reasons. There's gonna be a great scene coming up between Oliver and Thea that's one of my favorites on the show."

Marc Guggenheim recently revealed that not only will the villain appear in the February 22nd episode, but his past actions will start to connect. Guggenheim wants fans to keep an eye out for the conclusion of the episode, as it will particularly reveal parts of the villain's motive. "The episode ends, I think, with sort of the next key move in Prometheus' grand plan." Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/02/16/arrow-marc-guggenheim-prometheus/   Arrow EP: Oliver Will Make Star City Better -- As Mayor (Date: 15 Feb 2017) "One of the things we went into season five with the mindset of is Oliver's mayor, so without it turning into The West Wing, how are we going to find ways to have Oliver be active as mayor, and to everyone's surprise, be a good mayor, end up being a good mayor," explained executive producer Marc Guggenheim during a screening of tonight's episode, "Spectre of the Gun." "And you'll start to see, actually – and this is true in next week's episode, in episode 14 – Thea's going to make a good case to Oliver, of all people, for all the things he's accomplished as mayor, and you start to see like, oh wait, in the first 13 episodes, he actually kind of did some stuff. And he's not done yet. Obviously, the season's not done yet. But we definitely went into the season with the goal of showing that Oliver is actually much better at this job than you might expect."

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

However, The CW series is taking a slow burn approach to that, but she finally gets a mask in these new images.

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

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

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

We have an answer!   CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES   Season Episode  “Second Chances” (Date: 01 Feb 2017) Article: http://comicbook.com/2017/02/02/arrow-easter-eggs-and-things-you-might-have-missed-in-second-cha/     HUB CITY - Hub City, a fictional city in the DC Universe, is best known as the home to The Question, a self-taught urban shaman. The last time we saw the city on Arrow was when Esrin Fortuna helped Oliver take on Damien Darhk...and of course, when Hub City started to show up in showrunner Marc Guggenheim's tweets this year, there was plenty of speculation that he was teasing The Question. Turns out, he was teasing the Black Canary! BIG BELLY BURGER - Big Belly Burger, a fictional fast-food restaurant in the DC Universe, is the fast food of choice for people who are in hiding, in jail, or otherwise cut off from the world on The Flash. Here, we saw Team Arrow hanging out there in Hub City while Felicity got it delivered to her in the Arrowcave during her side quest. FAMILY SECRET - When Talia refers to her agelessness as a "family secret," it's the kind of cutesy clue that Nyssa used to drop in her early appearances, where she didn't directly name-drop Ra's al Ghul or the Lazarus Pit, but made references that were pretty clear to people in the know. Back then, of course, we always wondered whether Ra's would ever make an appearance. Now, he's come and gone, and we know that this kind of vague dialogue is mostly to keep continuity tidy so that Oliver doesn't realize exactly who he's dealing with when Ra's and Nyssa come in later. THE FLASH & CAPTAIN SINGH - In what Marc Guggenheim tweeted was the quickest crossover Arrow has ever done with The Flash, we got to see Barry speed (in costume) into his boss's office to vouch for Green Arrow. What's nice to see is Captain Singh, Barry's boss, who hasn't been seen much this season. It felt a bit like last night, when the long-absent Miss Tessmacher from Supergirl had a quick cameo on The Flash. SONUS - Sean Sonus, alias Discord is a sonic villain who fights Green Arrow and Black Canary. He first appeared in Green Arrow and Black Canary #15, and was co-created by Arrow EP Andrew Kreisberg and artist Mike Norton. DINAH DRAKE - "Dinah Drake" is actually the name of the original/Earth-2 Black Canary, who existed in the comics before Dinah Lance did. ARROW NEWS:   New Arrow Episode Gets A Russian Title As It Begins Production (Date: 30 Jan 2017) Marc Guggenheim, the show's executive producer, shared a cover of the new episode's script, and let fans know that it was beginning production. Episode 17 will be titled 'Kapot', which is a Russian word meaning 'cowl' or 'hood'. Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/01/30/new-arrow-episode-gets-a-russian-title-as-it-begins-production/   ARROW SYNOPSIS TARGETS WILD DOG'S ORIGIN STORY (Date: 27 Jan 2017) Spectre of the Gun” — WILD DOG'S HISTORY IS REVEALED — A traumatic attack on City Hall triggers painful memories for Rene (Rick Gonzalez) about his family. Flashbacks reveal how Rene went from simple family man to a hero named Wild Dog. Meanwhile, Oliver (Stephen Amell) must deal with the perpetrator behind the attack and realizes the best way to do so is as Mayor Queen instead of the Green Arrow. Tensions run high in the Arrow bunker. Kristin Windell directed the episode written by Marc Guggenheim (#513). Original airdate 2/15/2017 Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-synopsis-targets-wild-dogs-origin-story/   Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Bones, Arrow, The 100, Once, Elementary, Suits, Little Liars, NCIS: LA and More (Date: 31 Jan 2017) Have we seen the last of Evelyn/Artemis on Arrow? Actually, when TVLine last spoke to Wendy Mericle, the Arrow scribes were in the midst of hashing out a return scenario for Little Miss Benedict Arnold. “We have a really cool, exciting twist for how she's going to reappear,” the EP teased, noting: “The interesting thing about the choices Evelyn has made is that as much as she took the moral high ground when confronting Oliver, she has allied herself with someone who is even worse,” in Prometheus. “She's gone from the frying pan into the fire.” Link:http://tvline.com/2017/01/31/bones-final-season-spoilers-booth-gordon-wyatt/   Wayback Wednesday: Watch The First Ever Trailer For Arrow (Date: 01 Feb 2017) In honor of Wayback Wednesday - and a brand new episode of Arrow tonight - it's about time to take a look back at the first ever trailer for Arrow. This footage was seen in 2012, and it talked a lot about Oliver Queen's return to the real world, after he was thought to be dead. The trailer shows Oliver on the island, beard and all, as well as his assimilation back into society. Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/02/02/wayback-wednesday-watch-the-first-ever-trailer-for-arrow/   ARROW: TINA BOLAND'S REAL NAME WILL BE FAMILIAR TO DC COMICS FANS (Date: 01 Feb 207) “Tina Boland” is her undercover name; her real name is Dinah Drake. If that sounds familiar, that's because Dinah Drake is the name of the original Black Canary. Dinah debuted in 1947's “Flash Comics” #86 as Black Canary. Later, she married a man named Larry Lance and subsequently changed her name to Dinah Lance. Inspired by Dinah, her daughter Dinah Laurel Lance would go on to become a founding member of the Justice League. When the New 52 restarted DC Comics' continuity, the Black Canary legacy was retconned, and Dinah Drake was restored as the one and only Black Canary. This New 52 version of Dinah Drake was formerly married to Kurt Lance, but the two divorced. Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-tina-boland-black-canary-dinah-drake/   Arrow: What is Helix? (Date: 01 Feb 2017) Helix was a supervillain group led by Dr. Benjamin Love, aka Mr. Bones. The members were six mutated children who had been experimented on and then kidnapped by Love. They grew up to be a rather bizarre cast of characters, including Kritter (a human/dog hybrid) and Baby Boom (a young child who can cause explosions with her mind). It's safe to assume that any future appearances of Helix will certainly be way more grounded in reality - with any mention of the original characters probably being used as online screennames. This is similar to the inclusion of the secret organization Shadowspire in Arrow, which was given a much more realistic makeover. When recently discussing the dynamic between Felicity and Diggle going forward, Arrow executive-producer Wendy Mericle mentioned that the events in 'Second Chances' will play into the rest of the season. "Part of what kicks [Felicity] off down this darker path is she's going to find evidence to exonerate him -- and [Diggle's] going to have to deal with the fallout of the fact that Felicity is now going down a questionable path in part because of him." With that in mind, there's a very good chance that tonight's episode will not be the last time we hear of Helix on Arrow. Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/02/02/arrow-what-is-helix/    GENERAL DC TV NEWS SUPERGIRL & MARTIAN MANHUNTER UNITE ON ‘MARTIAN CHRONICLES' POSTER (Date: 29 Jan 2017) Unveiled by David Harewood, the teaser for “The Martian Chronicles” depicts the actor as Martian Manhunter alongside Melissa Benoist as the Girl of Steel, accompanied by the tagline, “Worlds Clash. Heroes Unite.” In the episode, a White Martian arrives in National City to capture M'gann and return her to Mars, where she's to be punished as a traitor. Unwilling to allow that to happen, Hank Henshaw and Supergirl bring M'gann to the Department of Extra-Normal Operations for protection, only for circumstances to turn from bad to worse. Link:http://www.cbr.com/supergirl-martian-manhunter-martian-chronicles-poster/   Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow boss on crossovers ahead (Date: 26 Jan 2017) “We're going to be seeing the Black Flash on Legends,” Guggenheim says, reminding fans that Thawne is a member of the Legion of Doom. “Lily Stein, who was introduced in Flash 308, makes an appearance next week. So there's a fair amount of Flash-ness going on in Legends. I wish I could say that we were so smart to take advantage of the new timeslot and do that, but we weren't that smart. We just had already sort of been doing that organically anyway when we found out about the new timeslot. I will say this: There's a love scene in episode 11 and we were in the editing room on it — it's a love scene, it gets a little steamy — and I was joking, ‘Let's take that 9 p.m. timeslot out for a spin.'” The article has the audio of the interview with Guggenheim. Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/01/26/arrow-legends-tomorrow-crossovers/     Two Speedsters Are Better Than One On This Electrifying New Poster For THE FLASH (Date: 29 Jan 2017) While their partnership may have gotten off to a slightly rocky start in last week's midseason premiere, it sounds like Barry is finally ready to take Wally under his wing over the course of the next few episodes, which should result in a lot of high-speed fun. As for when we'll get to see the duo in action, it looks like episode twelve, titled "Untouchable," is a good bet as it'll feature a subplot with the Scarlet Speedster helping Kid Flash elevate his game to the next level. Check out the new "Lightning Strikes Twice" poster. Link:https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/the_flash/two-speedsters-are-better-than-one-on-this-electrifying-new-a148532   The Flash: Robbie Amell teases his upcoming return (Date: 29 Jan 2017) Earlier this month, EW exclusively revealed that Robbie Amell is returning to The Flash for an upcoming episode. Details on his return are still scarce, but the actor gave EW a little tease of what to expect. “I was there last week,” he shared at Honda's “Hockey Goes Hollywood” event in Los Angeles. “I can tell you that my scenes are with Grant [Gustin] and Danielle [Panabaker]. And I may or may not be alive.” That last part is key, considering the last we saw of Ronnie, he died as a result of destroying the singularity that opened up the path to Earth-2, where that planet's Ronnie was a villain named Deathstorm. Being back on Flash is always a treat for Amell, who got to catch up with his TV wife and former superhero partner and have his first true Ronnie and Barry scene. Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/01/29/the-flash-robbie-amell-return/   LEGENDS OF TOMORROW'S LETSCHER TEASES REVERSE FLASH'S PLAN, COLD'S RETURN (Date: 31 Jan 2017) Speaking to CBR, Letscher teased Reverse Flash's plan, and he promised that Thawne's motivation would be “a major reveal” in the next episode of “Legends of Tomorrow.” Letscher also discussed the Legion's dynamic, the upcoming return of Leonard “Captain Cold” Snart, Thawne's important “foreknowledge” of events and more. When asked about Captain Cold, he said, “He is going to be a full-fledged member of the Legion of Doom and be very valuable to them on multiple fronts. Eobard has done his homework in this regard, and he's recruited somebody who's fully on board with the Legion of Doom's mission and he also understands the complications that Captain Cold's relationship with the Legends… the psychological complications that inform Eobard and his plans.” Link:http://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrow-matt-letscher-legion-of-doom-reverse-flash-captain-cold/   KEIYNAN LONSDALE TALKS WALLY'S TRANSFORMATION INTO KID FLASH (Date: 31 Jan 2017) Interview with CBR. When asked about Savitar, he said, “Savitar is the biggest threat that any of them have faced. Fortunately, Barry doesn't have to do this alone. He's always had Team Flash. Other people are getting powers. It's going to take everyone working together to stop him. Wally is super-crucial to that.” Also, he won't be singing in the musical episode. Link:http://www.cbr.com/interview-flash-keiynan-lonsdale-wally-west/?utm_source=CBR-TW&utm_medium=Social-Distribution&utm_campaign=CBR-TW&view=list   Rachel Bloom Wrote A Song For "The Flash" / "Supergirl" Musical Episode (Date: 31 Jan 2017) Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star and creator Rachel Bloom has co-written a song for The CW's upcoming musical crossover between The Flash and Supergirl, BuzzFeed News can exclusively reveal. She wrote “Super Friend,” which will be performed by Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist. The episode will also feature an original song written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, Dear Evan Hansen) called “Runnin' Home to You” that Gustin will perform.

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

This time around, he got a version of the Steel powers -- and, as in the comics, it comes from Nazis trying to take out the JSA who inadvertently provide him with abilities. TO BE MARRIED TOMORROW - The idea that the beautiful girl he happens upon is set to be married tomorrow to the Shogun -- loosely translated as "Royal Ugly Dude" -- feels like the kind of thing that pops up from time to time in time-travel fiction...but Bill & Ted is the most obvious one for us. LOST - "If I've learned one thing from Lost, it's that you don't go opening secret hatches." This is one of a couple of not-so-subtle pop culture references this week. Typically those don't make the "Easter eggs" lists, but we're acknowledging more of them this year since last season we had lots of fans chiming in to let us know that we "missed" them in the comments. Obviously, that's a reference to the long-running network drama LOST, one of the big mysteries of which revolved around a hatch into an underground chamber which, rather than providing the answers the characters hoped, only resulted in more questions. 2056 - There are a few superheroes -- notably The Flash and Green Lantern -- who have spent time in the not-too-distant future quite a bit in their careers, but the year 2056 doesn't come up specifically in the comics. Where it does come up is in Young Justice, the animated series in which Barry Allen's grandson Bart (Impulse/Kid Flash/Flash) played a key role. In that version of the story, Bart comes from a future where The Reach has conquered Earth and travels back in time to join Young Justice, which in part could potentially help to alter that dark future. MASTER YODA  - Of course, almost anyone would know that the reference to Ray Palmer's "sensei" Yoda, who shared the wisdom "do or do not; there is no try," is a nod to The Empire Strikes Back, in which the diminutive Jedi Master trained Luke Skywalker to harness the Force. THE SOULTAKER - It's established by the end of the episode that the young woman Nate wanted to help was pretty capable of defending herself under normal circumstances. She's from the clan Yamashiro, which if you don't recognize, you ought to. Not only did her descendant Tatsu Yamashiro and her husband Maseo recur throughout season 3 of Arrow, but Tatsu also appeared in this summer's Suicide Squad movie in her costumed identity as Katana. That sword? It's the Soultaker which, in the comics and in the Suicide Squad movie, absorbs the soul energy of the people killed with it. ARROW NEWS Marc Guggenheim reveals Ep 16 Title: Checkmate (Date: 19 Jan 2017) * The sixteenth episode of Arrow's fifth season has gone into production, and  EP Marc Guggenheim has given some insight into what's coming up with a peek at the episode's title. * The episode is called "Checkmate," which Guggenheim assures us that it does not refer to the spy agency formerly run by Maxwell Lord and Amanda Waller in the comics.Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/01/19/arrow-episode-16-title-revealed-by-executive-producer/   ARROW SYNOPSIS TEASES PROPER INTRODUCTION FOR TALIA AL GHUL (Date: 14 Jan 2017) Titled “Second Chances,” the Feb. 1 episode will see Oliver Queen team up with Talia in flashbacks in an effort to defeat Russian government strongman Kovar. TALIA AL GHUL TAKES OLIVER UNDER HER WING — In his quest to take down Kovar, Oliver (Stephen Amell) gets help from a surprising source – Talia al Ghul (guest star Lexa Doig). However, when she reveals what she wants from him in exchange, Oliver isn't sure he can accept her help.Link:http://www.cbr.com/arrow-synopsis-teases-proper-introduction-for-talia-al-ghul/     Katrina Law On Whether ARROW Will Have A Nyssa And Talia Al Ghul Family Reunion (Date: 12 Jan 2017) Katrina Law's Nyssa al Ghul has yet to make an appearance in season 5 of Arrow but her sister, Talia, is set to appear soon, played by Lexa Doig.  Does that mean Nyssa will be returning as well? Cinemablend recently caught up with Law to discuss her role in the Training Day TV adaptation from CBS but also asked about a possible Arrow guest spot. "There's always talk. Whether or not those talks will ever come to fruition is another matter, but I would love to have a reunion with Talia. I just think having the two sisters either fight side by side together or fight with each other would be epic either way. And then if we could somehow do some sort of flashback with Ra's al Ghul coming in as well… Let's petition to make that happen." But before you get your hopes up, Law cautioned that the shooting schedule for Training Day makes it difficult for her to get away to Vancouver, where Arrow films.Link:https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/arrow/katrina-law-on-whether-arrow-will-have-a-nyssa-and-talia-al-ghul-a148121     A New Female Vigilante Is Coming To Arrow (Date: 16 Jan 2017) Part of the synopsis for episode 11 states: “Meanwhile, Curtis (Echo Kellum), tells the team about a female vigilante, Tina Boland (Juliana Harkavy) he uncovered on-line who has been wreaking havoc all over the country.” Tina Boland… a vigilante with no code name. And the description of those who have seen her on the set is that she wears all black. Put that with the executive producer Wendy Mericle saying that Green Arrow needs Black Canary and the spoiler-ish trailer telling us that the Laurel Lance we've seen is the Earth-2 version… this is making people on-line question if Tina Boland will become the new Black Canary. Earth-1 Laurel asked Ollie to not let the Black Canary end with her. Only the Earth-2 Laurel solves the problem of the Canary Cry being natural, but having her go through a full redemption arc compared to bringing in a new character all together might make Tina the better choice. We know she ends up joining with Team Arrow against Prometheus… but will she do it in a familiar black outfit?

Executive producer Marc Guggenheim told ComicBook.com that he and the writers were aware of the excitement fans have for both Lundgren and the Bratva flashbacks, as well as the additional social media attention on all things Russian just now, all of which makes the episode seem like a good way to fill in some backstory. "Russia is very much in the zeitgeist these days, and coming into the back half of the year, we're doing a lot more with Russia," Guggenheim told ComicBook.com. "We're going to do a Russia-centric episode, a flashback-centric episode like we did in the first three years of the show. We'll be doing that later on in the season and that will have Dolph Lundgren's character, Konstantin Kovar, very much front and center."Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/01/18/arrow-will-have-a-dolph-lundgren-heavy-episode-set-mostly-in-the/    Arrow Season 5 Extended Trailer - 'This Is Getting Good' (Date: 18 Jan 2017) The CW has just debuted a new trailer ahead of next week's new episode, and it focuses on the questions surrounding Laurel's sudden reappearance. After Oliver sees her, he begins to wonder if what he's seeing is real. The remaining issues surrounding Prometheus are still weighing heavy on Oliver and the team, and it sends him further into a state of disbelief. For anyone in that world, it's a difficult time to understand what's going on around you. In addition to the teasing of these complicated plot lines, the new trailer features a ton of action. In fact, we may be seeing some of the best action in the show's five-year run. The trailer ends with Wild Dog saying what many fans are thinking following the intense footage, "This is getting good!"Link:http://comicbook.com/2017/01/18/arrow-season-5-extended-trailer-this-is-getting-good/ Arrow Episode 16 Title Revealed By Executive Producer (Date: 19 Jan 2017) The episode is called "Checkmate," which Guggenheim assures does not refer to the spy agency formerly run by Maxwell Lord and Amanda Waller in the comics.

Those aliens, you might remember, were teased in the “Supergirl Lives” extended trailer that the CW released the other day. As it turns out, that alien species has a name, and they are Maaldorians. It seems like this particular alien species was created specifically for this episode, so it's unknown what the aspects and abilities of them will be. Whatever powers they may possess, it seems like Supergirl can still take them down with no problem, as she punches one with no hesitation in the trailer.Link:http://www.cbr.com/kevin-smith-teases-new-alien-species-in-supergirl/   Neil A FLASH ALUM TEASES UNEXPECTED RETURN (Date: 16 Jan 2017) When a television series frequently features time travel, alternate timelines and alternate universes, a character's death doesn't necessarily have the usual feeling of finality. Central City Police Detective Eddie Thawne after actor Rick Consett announced today that he's coming back to The CW drama. How Eddie Thawne finds himself back in Star City remains to be seen. The show was recently renewed for a fourth season, and given the nature of the space-time continuum, the guest roles could keep coming for Cosnett.Link:http://www.cbr.com/a-flash-alum-teases-unexpected-return/    Michelle SUPERGIRL TRAILER TEASES RETURN OF LIVEWIRE AND DOMINATORS (Date: 13 Jan 2017) Fortunately, a new trailer for The CW's “Supergirl” marks the return of the heroine for the second half of Season Two with the Kevin Smith-directed “Supergirl Lives,” which sees Kara Danvers, played by Melissa Benoist, and Mon-El, portrayed by Chris Wood, traveling to another world to break up an alien slaver's ring.The trailer also teases bigger events down the road. Long-running “Superman” villainess Livewire, played by Brit Morgan, will make her return, and it looks as if greater emphasis will be placed on Jimmy Olsen's (Mechad Brooks) costume identity Guardian.

How? Well, it is a time travel show, and it sounds like the Legion may be scooping up Snart from an earlier time. “My sense is that if Snart comes back into the storyline via his present day incarnation, then he's a straight up villain,” Miller tells EW — the actor was on hand at the Television Critics Association's press tour Wednesday to promote the return of Prison Break. “He hasn't gone on that first season Legends of Tomorrow journey yet, so when we meet him again — quote unquote alive in 2017 — I imagine that he's going to be much like when we first met him the first season on The Flash, which I'm looking forward to, because it means I get to arc to a completely different place.”Link:http://ew.com/tv/2017/01/11/legends-of-tomorrow-star-wentworth-miller-captain-cold-return/   THE FLASH: THE FUTURE ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE IN EXTENDED TRAILER (Date: 17 Jan 2017) In this extended trailer for “Borrowing Problems from the Future,” the mid-season premiere, Barry and Cisco work backwards to prevent a future where Savitar kills Iris.

In a new clip from “Justice League Dark,” Deadman reaches out for the Dark Knight's help, but he may just cross a boundary or two in order to do so. The clip opens as Bruce Wayne prepares for a shave. As soon as he touches his razor to his face, though, an unseen entity creeps up behind him, and he appears to be completely oblivious to its presence. When he becomes aware of it, it startles him enough that he cuts his cheek, and the pain causes him to look away for a brief moment. When he looks back up, he finds a name scrawled in the fogged up mirror: Constantine.Link:http://www.cbr.com/justice-league-dark-deadman-reaches-out-to-batman-in-new-clip/?utm_source=CBR-TW&utm_medium=Social-Distribution&utm_campaign=CBR-TW&view=list     Neil Kevin Smith Returning to Supergirl For Another Season 2 Episode (Date: 18 Jan 2017) Smith told ComicBook.com that he will return for a second episode this season -- the as-yet-untitled seventeenth episode of the season.
