This is why if I'm ever a guard in a comic book prison, I am treating the inmates nice as gently caress. Giving them extra food, listening to how their day was, telling them I'm sorry for their loss, looking the other way if they got a pack of smokes. If they do break out and I see them, I'll well a tear up in my eye and shout "go on, get out of here!"

Didn't someone already try this and was murdered anyways?

This seems like a rational strategy until you remember this is what Harley did. Slippery slope, Puddin'.

So I end up a popular guy Friday to some femme fatale, popular enough my character is never killed and gets his own series? Can live with that.

If you're a guard in a riot on prison, you're going to get hosed up no matter how nice you were.

And Steve Aoki appeared on the show as himself in the first season, and Oliver stated that he used to date his sister Devon.

So yeah Devon being on the show as a different character would be pretty weird.

Huh, I never realised Kreisberg had written for the GA book prior to his upcoming run. I suppose that's why they're willing to give it to him, as opposed to just the show's tie-in digital comic. Remarkable restraint in holding off the character this long, I suppose, given he created her, but then again, you kind of need the Arrow to be operating openly for the deranged fangirl-with-a-crush thing to work.

Liam Neeson says he would play Ra's on Arrow in a heartbeat. Honestly, I think they'd rather cast someone else in the role to stay away from the movies, but I'm going to keep my hopes up, dammit.

I think for one he obviously didn't hear the interviewer mention that he was talking about the show, and two even if he did he probably wouldn't know what Arrow or CW was.

It'd be kinda cool if they did redo the whole Batman begins "mentor is secretly Ra's" thing but you definitely couldn't put Neeson in.

Given that Neeson will do any role since his wife died he would be all in for playing Ra's again. Plus he seems down to be in comic movies.

None so deprived
They seem really intent on keeping the show comicy and fun with just the right amount of camp and as long as they do I'll just have to keep watching it I guess. Very curious to know who's going to be Ra's but so far they have mostly nailed casting of villains so I'm not really worried.

Liam Neeson is hoping for too much though :(
