Wait did Batman leave KGBeast in a sewer to starve to death?

I like how there were convenient stacks of boards just waiting there. (Unless Batman put them there beforehand I guess.)

Also, he'll be fine, he can eat rats.

KGBeast actually died IIRC.

At this point I don't know what is more hilarious, Manu's bare faced lies or the people that still believe him

They later retconned it that Batman called the cops to pick him up but yeah, as written he absolutely left him to die. KGBeast had successfully killed seven high-ranking US targets up to this point on an unauthorized mission, and Batman had just barely stopped him from assassinating then-President Reagan. A government spook previously told Batman that if KGBeast was captured he'd be extradited back to the Soviet Union and probably get off lightly instead of facing American justice, so this problem was outside Batman's usual context.

It's true. Batman has no context for habitual killers for whom the justice system is just a speedbump.

What would be even better is if it's Anatoli who sics Dolph's KGBeast on Ollie as revenge, just to complete the utter 180 from every value he held as a result of the Bratva's influence.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I feel like its going to be kind of sad when Oliver goes back to Lian Yu and it signals the end of the flashbacks. I mean, I think they've largely worn out their welcome but its the end of an era.

Then again he set up a secret prison there and has vacationed there at least twice so I'm sure he'll be back to the island in Season 6.

After this season though I wonder how they will keep it fresh without leaning so hard on 5 years in hell and hopefully with Oliver reformed into a proper superhero instead.

Its close enough to the end of season that speculation seems pointless to me. But it certainly seems like they're sticking with the team of superheroes he's assembled this season and a more heroic Green Arrow. This whole Prometheus and Bratva storylines basically push him that way.

They could probably get away with at least half a season of "Green Arrow and the Outsiders" with a big Flash/Supergirl/Legends crossover before something dark happens again.

I swear they better start showing flashbacks to season 1 during season 6 (or 7, I can't remember what year it's on). They can use that sepia filter and everything. It'd be great.

The first one is wrestler Cody Rhodes who played a metahuman villain earlier in the season and has done a bunch of wrestling feuds with Stephen Amell since he had a very comic booky wrestling character Stardust.

The second happens too fast for me to really get any sense, but whoever it is is wearing a hood so I'd guess Merlyn or Nyssa. Or maybe even Prometheus himself since I'm not clear on who they're fighting and maybe its some common enemy like the Bratva.

The second guy is Roy. Colton Haynes confirmed that he'd be coming back in season 5.

I was actually going to guess at that but I really didn't see anything to be sure about it and i didn't want to get anyone's hopes up.

So basically EVERYONE EVER COMES BACK in the rest of the season, which is so much fun.

Oh my loving god.

If you'd told me at the end of last season that I'd be so excited for the end of this season, I'd have never believed you. I'm so hyped for Arrow of all things.

Why is Cody Rhodes even back? I never figured he'd be more than a oneshot character. Is he based on an existing comic villain or something? Does it even matter when Cody Rhodes owns this much?

I don't recognize the character name but I feel lkke it's mostly just because Rhodes and Amell have been doing this feud for years even before he came on the show so they just get a kick out of keeping it going.. Which totally works for me.

While I'm excited I'm worried about how S6 onwards will go. Will it just become generic superhero fodder? Half the charm was the 5 years vs 5 years format (as dumb as the flashbacks got). Feels like all the major Oliver Queen character study beats will or should be done with by the end of it.
