Okay, pretty much, but the DCU cowboy Vigilante doesn't wear a mask. He does occasionally sing songs about Batman and shoot dudes with a shotgun guitar.

My biggest gripe with the CW Multiverse is actually Diggs jr. It was just a throwaway joke in the Flash that because of Flashpoint a few details may have changed, mostly minor stuff. Diggle having a son instead of a daughter was just to show that these changes also affected the star city team. Sara Diggle was a big plot influence, on both her parents' actions and choices, and was even named after Sara Lance. It feels weird to have her just never existing and instead having a son that probably was a big influence on the plot in some other ways we will never know, unless everything just happened the exact same way, only with a boy instead of a girl.

Diggle and Barry are gonna talk about this during the crossover apparently. And it's going to be a thing that Diggle worries about, Barry's constant time-loving.

Evelyn being the mole makes sense, she's the one most at odds with Oliver, but I do wonder what her motivation is
What's her motivation for anything? I don't even remember who she is. She's just there, hanging out with the team. I didn't even remember what her name was until I saw it posted in this thread, or what her super hero name is. She's such a non-entity that her betraying them is basically meaningless.

They have a super powered bulletproof mummy on the team. But don't let him actually do anything.
Because if they did then there'd be no point to the rest of the team. He's a cool concept for a super hero, but he absolutely does not belong on this show, because he makes everyone else look ridiculous by comparison. You can have unkillable magical bad guys, but not sidekicks.

They're only using the Artemis name, she has nothing else in common with the YJ character.

I hope Prometheus really is Roy, that'd be fantastic.

In the comics Artemis is actually Tigress, Artemis is her real name not her alias. Young Justice referenced that in their second season but the Green Arrow associated archer character was an original take. She was actually first announced as Arrowette and changed during production.

She's trying to follow in the footsteps of Black Canary as she did last season and make sure whatever happened to her parents wouldn't happen again (or something). Idk where they're going with this this early in the season fwiw. Maybe she'll do a second heel turn alternatively. Who knows?

In another topic, will we get a special Chanukah episode with Ragman and Felicity?

Unless Prometheus approached her afterwards.

I don't see how Prometheus approaching Evelyn or vice versa after she was recruited is a problem.

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

It makes the most sense that she turned after she joined Team Arrow, and probably even after the fight on the train. By that point she was pissed at Oliver and back on the revenge tip, so why not seek out the local vengeful psycho and see what's up?

Alternatively, she joined up before Laurel's death and Promethus was the one who modified the canary cry for Artemis to use

What's going to be hilarious is when Oliver kills Prometheus proclaiming I'M NOT LETTING WHAT HAPPENED TO LAUREL HAPPEN AGAIN, takes the helmet off the corpse, and it's Laurel.

Like, not even a line of dialogue or more than two seconds of on-screen face time. The last episode of the season is dealing with how it happened.

C'mon, writers, you can do this. If you're gonna troll, you gotta come correct.

Boil 'em, mash 'em, cook 'em in a stew
So I just watched BvS and after reading up on KGBeast, the Wikipedia page notes that the Anatoli in Arrow is supposed to be Anatoli Knyazev and therefore KGBeast. Has his last name ever been said in the show and are we even supposed to assume that he is, or is going to be, KGBeast at all in the show? It just caught me completely off guard and it seemed like the Wikipedia author just knew his name was Anatoli and was Russian and just assumed.

I think he gives Oliver his full name at some point. Early on, when they first kind of help each other.

Isn't KGBeast supposed to be a human murder machine though? It kind of seems like Lundgren's character would be him instead. Or is this a case of Tommy Merlyn not being a villain like in the comics?

Arrow frequently just uses names and not their whole character.

Felicity Smoak is Firestorm's step-mom who dislikes him for constantly causing collateral damage. And one time he uses his powers to strip her in public.
