RUMOR: Nightwing To Appear On ARROW Season 3
Steven R McQueen of CW's hit series The Vampire Diaries posted another picture on his Instagram hinting at being cast as Nightwing, but this time, less subtly. Take a look at the picture and judge for yourself.
For the past few months, ever since rumors first surfaced of Nightwing making an appearance on CW's Arrow series, Steven R McQueen of CW's The Vampire Diaries has been giving subtle hints at already being cast in the role. Although it could be more wishful thinking from the actor's perspective than anything concrete. In the past month however he has increased the 'easter eggs' on his Twitter account by retweeting Scott Snyder's Batman quotes and images, and by uploading images of DC Comic book titles. The latest image that caught fans attention was when on June 5th, 2014 he uploaded an image of himself with Arrow's lead actor Stephen Amell, at a LA Kings game with the subtitle "#arrow #nightwing #golakings".
@steven_r_mcqueen: "#arrow #nightwing #golakings"
Again, this could be more wishful thinking by the young actor, as his schedule with The Vampire Diaries in New Orleans is quite overbooked as of yet. However, taking into consideration what had transpired in the season finale of Arrow, the concept of Nightwing coming to Starling City to face The League of Assassins and the return of Malcom Merilyn with Thea Queen has become a probable journey the writers could choose to take Oliver Queen in.

Actually some fans think Felicity and Oliver should get together but i think that would be too weird. They are a perfect team. Felicity is great but i dont think they would make a great couple.

‘Arrow’ Season 3 Plot Details & New Characters Revealed
[WARNING: This article contains POSSIBLE SPOILERS for Arrow.]-
The big news in terms of superhero shows on The CW seems to be focused more on The Flash than Arrow as critics and fans speculate whether the spinoff series will be as successful as its predecessor – fortunately for Flash fans, early reactions are exceptionally good. However, while many are focused on that show’s premiere, Arrow’s evolving story about the billionaire playboy-turned-hero Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) has been developing its third season, which includes casting new characters.
At the end of season 2, Arrow lost quite a few recurring characters: Moira Queen (Susanna Thompson), Sebastian Blood (Kevin Alejandro), and Isabel Rochev (Summer Glau) were killed; Slade Wilson (Manu Bennett) was locked up in an A.R.G.U.S. supermax; Sarah Lance (Caity Lotz) left with the rest of the League of Assassins; and Thea Queen (Willa Holland) left Starling City with her birth father, Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman).
Though some of these characters have the opportunity to return – and a high likeliness in the case of Thea whose situation may factor heavily into season 3 – their departures have opened up room for new characters, some of whom the show is currently casting.
TVLine is reporting that Arrow is currently looking to cast four new characters: two will appear in present-day Sterling City and two will be featured in Oliver’s flashbacks. The two new characters appearing in Sterling City are tentatively being called Daniel and Seth, though those may not be the actual character names, while the other two characters are named Toshi and Akiko.
Daniel is a twenty-something entrepreneur working with cutting-edge technology. Though he’s in the public eye, he harbors a tragic past that is a catalyst for him becoming a tech-powered superhero. Daniel is also poised to become Oliver’s rival and Felicity Smoak’s (Emily Bett Rickards) new love interest.
Seth is an educated criminal with a talent for chemistry who develops a drug that drains the willpower of his enemies. He could potentially be a recurring villain for season 3.
The new characters for Oliver’s Hong Kong flashbacks, Toshi and Akiko, are a married couple who become Oliver’s handlers in the city. Toshi is a skilled operative with knowledge of weaponry, combat, and intelligence gathering who will become Oliver’s friend and teacher. Akiko is also skilled in martial arts.
From the details in his character description, it sounds as though Daniel may become one of the main antagonists of the season – depending on how involved Malcolm Merlyn is this season. Daniel seems to have a complicated arc that takes him from civilian to superpowered, in addition to a well-developed back story to be explored. However, it’s unclear how villainous Daniel may be. Though he is described as Oliver’s rival, he could either become a villain or align himself with the Arrow and his team – or both.
Seth, on the other hand, is certainly a villain, though it’s difficult to determine whether he’ll be more of a one-off with the possibility to return, in the vein of The Count, or a more integrated antagonist like Sebastian Blood. Seth’s drug, though, may have a bigger impact on the season’s plot than himself. Between Vertigo and Mirakuru, Arrow has dealt with different mind and body-altering substances in past seasons, so Seth’s anti-willpower drug may follow in that tradition.
Less is known about Toshi and Akiko but their character descriptions hint at an overarching story of getting to know Oliver and becoming his mentors in Hong Kong. Since they are described as his handlers, they must be affiliated with A.R.G.U.S. in some way, which may factor into the conflict of the flashbacks in season 3.
Currently, nothing more is known about these characters and the fact that Daniel and Seth may not be those characters’ actual names points toward The CW and the show’s effort to keep as much about season 3 under wraps as possible. The true identities and names of Daniel and Seth may not be revealed until Arrow premieres in the fall.

[h=1]‘Arrow’ Stunt Coordinator Talks Season 2 Fights & What to Expect from Season 3[/h]
[WARNING: SPOILERS ahead for the season 2 finale of Arrow.]
-Fans of superhero television have a lot to look forward to this year, as the fall of 2014 will bring us NBC’s Constantine, Fox’s Gotham, CW’s The Flash and the return of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. If that weren’t enough, Marvel’s Agent Carter will premiere in January 2015. However, this slate of comic book-inspired shows would arguably not be as expansive without the mega-success of the CW’s flagship superhero show, Arrow.
Season 2 of the ongoing saga of billionaire-turned-vigilante-turned-hero Oliver Queen culminated in a stellar finale, which succeeded in expanding on the themes of the show while providing the terrific level of spectacle fans have come to expect. Indeed, the action scenes designed by stunt coordinator JJ Makaro and fight coordinator James “Bam Bam” Bamford are a big reason Arrow has continued to enjoy its level of popularity.
From street-level brawling to the more elaborate martial-arts battles, Arrow‘s fight work is a model for how to update comic book action for today’s audiences while maintaining a certain level of the fantastic. Makaro recently spoke to EW about what went into planning Oliver’s epic, multi-layered showdown with Deathstroke, and what he has planned for season 3.
While the final fight was originally meant to be one battle, Makaro spoke about the decision to split it into flashbacks, saying:
Makaro also spoke about acknowledging certain aspects of the characters that fans want to see, especially for this big match-up. He went on to speak about staying attuned to Deathstroke’s point of view, saying:
Makaro went on to praise star Stephen Amell’s commitment to the heavy physicality of the stunt work, and the addition of parkour to his skill-set:

Makaro recently spoke to EW about what went into planning Oliver’s epic, multi-layered showdown with Deathstroke, and what he has planned for season 3.
While the final fight was originally meant to be one battle, Makaro spoke about the decision to split it into flashbacks, saying:
And then I’m not sure who came up with the idea – I’m sure there’s four of us at least who want to take credit for it – but somebody said something along the lines of we thought it’d be really cool to do both fights at the same time and have somebody get punched and the person would end up landing in the other time zone.
Makaro also spoke about acknowledging certain aspects of the characters that fans want to see, especially for this big match-up. He went on to speak about staying attuned to Deathstroke’s point of view, saying:
You have a tendency, once you’re doing an action sequence, you’re always thinking about the hero and how the hero pulls it off and where they’re going with it all, but we needed to kind of have an approach where Deathstroke was, in his own way, a hero.
With the end of season 2 setting up a new chapter in Oliver’s backstory – finding himself in Hong Kong after escaping the island, and meeting Amanda Waller (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) – and recent casting and plot updates pointing toward a whole new realm of possibilities, Makaro had this to say on where the next season will be heading and what he’d like to do next:
Our fights are going to get better again because they always do. James [Bamford], we keep pushing him and we keep giving him stronger challenges. He’s right now in Asia learning some more fight moves, so he’s really moving forward with the fight work. Now that they’ve put us into Asia, hopefully we’ll be able to get in there and have a lot of fun doing those kinds of fights. But the other things that we’re trying to get out is I’ve always wanted to do a parkouring sequence through moving traffic. I’ve seen little bits of it. We dabbled with it in the previous season when we did the huge jump across the alley and then came down the fire escape and hopped on a car, and then we did a little parkour over some moving vehicles, but that’s something I’ve been hoping to do somewhere along the line. I keep watching for the opportunity for it. But of course, it’s as big and complicated as a lot of the things we’ve done already. I’m sure if we do do it, it will be a challenge.
Makaro went on to praise star Stephen Amell’s commitment to the heavy physicality of the stunt work, and the addition of parkour to his skill-set:
He just loved it so much, and he’s applied himself so well on it. He’s very good at it, and that’s part of the reason why I would like to keep going with it. [T]he last time we did it, he actually did a fair amount of the work himself, pretty much all of it. But it is complex to do, so I’m really hoping that we get a chance to try and do it.
To action fans, the thought of Oliver Queen parkouring his way through moving traffic on (perhaps) the streets of Hong Kong while fighting off the next round of bad guys is particularly exciting. The world of Arrow is rife with possibilities going into season 3, so expect a slew of new rivals and allies to show up, with the promise of James Bamford and JJ Makaro taking the action scenes and stunt work to a whole new level.

‘Arrow’ Season 3 Adds Katana
As San Diego Comic-Con approaches — as well as the premiere dates for The CW’s two superhero shows, Arrow and The Flash — more news about both series has been revealed. Though the pilot of The Flash will debut at SDCC, little is known about Arrow season 3. A few weeks ago, Arrow began casting four new characters for the show’s upcoming third season: two to join Oliver Queen in modern-day Starling City, and two who would play a major part in the season’s flashback story arc.
The two characters in the past who will join Oliver in Hong Kong were tentatively named Toshi and Akiko. The new location for the show’s ongoing flashback story and comments from Arrow’s stunt coordinator, JJ Makaro, on the action scenes of season 3, hinted toward a possible samurai character joining the series.
Now that the characters of “Toshi” and “Akiko” have been cast and their official character names have been released, who they are and how they will fit into Oliver’s story in season 3 is much clearer.
Deadline reported Devon Aoki (Sin City) has joined Arrow as Tatsu Yamashiro; TVLine reported Karl Yune (Real Steel) has been cast as Maseo Yamashiro, Tatsu’s husband. According to TVLine, Maseo will act as Oliver’s handler in Hong Kong, but will grow to become a friend and teacher. Both Maseo and Tatsu are skilled in martial arts, while Tatsu also excels with a katana sword; they will help Oliver grow to become the superhero who now protects Starling City.
Fans of the comics may recognize Tatsu by her codename: Katana, named for the weapon she wields. For those who are familiar with her origin story in the books, it’s unclear whether that will play into the third season of Arrow - though it’s certainly possible. At the very least it seems fans will be treated to a glimpse of Katana in the show, if not a full-blown incorporation of the samurai superheroine.

‘Arrow’ Adds Peter Stormare as Vertigo
Peter Stormare as John Abruzzi in ‘Prison Break’
For now, its best to focus on season 3 of Arrow, which will see Oliver Queen of the past move on from the island that kept him prisoner for two seasons to his life in Hong Kong. Two new actors have already been cast for these flashbacks, but little has been revealed so far about the Arrow’s troubles in the present.
According to TVGuide, the season premiere will feature a new take on the Green Arrow villain Count Vertigo, only this time he’ll be played by Peter Stormare of Prison Break fame. Stormare will take on DC Comics’ New 52 version of the character, also known as Werner Zytle, who is introduced as the new distributor of the drug Vertigo.
Arrow viewers will recall that Seth Gabel played “The Count” in the first two seasons, and was previously assumed to be the show’s version of Count Vertigo. Stormare’s character will instead go by the name “Vertigo.”
Screen Rant readers, were you hoping Arrow would appear in Batman v. Superman? What do you think about the series bringing in a new Count Vertigo?

Yeah baby, Brandon Routh is back. I really enjoyed his portrayal of superman much better than that guy from man of steel Henry Cavil. Plus it looks like Arrow is finally going towards superpower stuff.
[h=1]Arrow Season 3 Premiere Synopsis: New Romance, New Danger[/h]
WARNING: Arrow Season 1 & 2 SPOILERS.
Arrow continues to be a hit for DC Comics, Warner Bros. TV and The CW, paving the way for a whole lot of new superhero TV series, come fall. However, while the freshman heroes try to find their place in the TV pecking order, the godfather of modern super hero TV is coming back for season 3 after an epic season 2 finale left our hero, Oliver Queen/Arrow (Stephen Amell), fully transformed from hooded vigilante into full-blown hero.
We’ve already gotten spoilerish details and casting announcements for Arrow season 3; today we have a synopsis for the season 3 premiere, which carries the ominous title of, “The Calm”.
Posted over on Zap2It (which sources The CW), the synopsis for the Arrow Season 3 premiere reads as follows (MILD SPOILERS):
Count Vertigo in the ‘Young Justice’ animated series.
We already know who the “deadly villain” is: the Peter Stormare version of Count Vertigo. What’s odd about this supposed synopsis is that it words the appearance of Vertigo as a ‘reappearance,’ instead of “a deadly new villain.”
In the original casting report, Stormare’s character was detailed as being a spin on Werner Zytle, who is the modern version of Count Vertigo featured in DC’s New 52 continuity. In the comics, Zytle is a fallen aristocrat from Eastern Europe who regains power through organized crime – and it sounds like Arrow will be angling for a similar storyline. That makes the wording of the synopsis a bit inaccurate – however, the real question is: will Stormare’s Vertigo finally have his trademark balance-disrupting powers?
Felicity.
Finally, fans will no doubt zero-in on the supposed romance between Oliver and Felicity featured in the season 3 premiere. Romantic subplots have not always been Arrow‘s strongest point (read: Laurel) – but personally speaking, this one sounds like a tease, rather than a major seasonal plot thread. One of those “Just as they were finally about to kiss…” bait-n-switches, you know?
Arrow season 3 Premieres on Wednesday, October 8th @ 8/7c on The CW.
But first, be sure to catch Stephen Amell introducing the new DC TV Universe at San Diego Comic-Con 2014 on Saturday, July 26th @ 8pm.

But the second Oliver takes his eye off the ball, a deadly villain reappears in Starling, forcing Oliver to realize that he can never be Oliver Queen — not as long as the city needs The Arrow.”

[h=1]‘Arrow’ Season 3: First Look at New Count Vertigo[/h]
With the third season premiere of Arrow still more than two months away, the show’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con last night debuted the first trailer for the upcoming season as well as more details about the crossovers planned with Arrow’s spinoff, The Flash. The CW’s original superhero series has generated a lot of buzz for season 3 by casting plenty of new characters who are well known from the DC comics: Katana, The Atom, and a new version of Count Vertigo.
Now that the trailer has debuted, we have our first look at some of these new characters. While Katana (both as Tatsu Yamashiro and her superhero self) and The Atom were absent from the video, Palmer and Count Vertigo (Peter Stormare) did make an appearance.
In the trailer, a brief clip of Count Vertigo is shown, getting a quip in at the Arrow’s expense: “Some things never die, you for example.” When the new version of Count Vertigo was announced, the casting description listed him as a spin on Werner Zytle (the most recent incarnation) from DC’s New 52 relaunch.
Whether Stormare’s character will share a name with Zytle remains to be seen, but he will certainly share some back story; Zytle is from a fallen aristocratic family in an Eastern European country and regained power through organized crime. We previously wondered if this new version of Count Vertigo on Arrow would finally have his comic book character’s Vertigo effect powers (altering balance and inducing dizziness in his opponents).
Though many fans of Arrow and the DC comics are certainly hoping for a full-fledged Count Vertigo, it seems unlikely due to the nature of The CW’s superhero series so far. As Greg Berlanti, producer on both shows, said, Arrow is set in a world of crime while The Flash in a world of science fiction. Aside from the physical and mind altering substances featured on Arrow, the show rarely — if ever — deals with superhuman powers.
So how will this new Count Vertigo be characterized on Arrow? While the first incarnation was an ostentatious drug dealer, it seems Stormare is playing up the organized crime background established by Zytle (especially in terms of accent and wardrobe). Whether Stormare’s character will receive any modifications not shown in the trailer that will give him his trademark abilities, remains to be seen. In terms of introducing those powers to the world of Arrow, that seems the most likely route.
