We need Keaton for the Batman Beyond movie, anyways. Can't let CWDC claim him and ruin the chances of that.

Can't have Batman on CWniverse anyway. After 5 mins he'd be doxxed with groupies knocking on the batcaves front door.

Am I missing anyone? I think for most of it Oliver's been pretty much THE vigilante, the others have been obviously his sidekicks or murderous assholes.
You forgot Artemis. Of course she's probably dead, but Merlyn came back after supposedly dying in Season One, so who knows?

Oh, and Huntress. Who's in jail I think? Maybe? I mean, she's never coming back, so who cares.

Edit: Cupid doesn't count, because everyone knows she's a criminal.

Things in Star City that rose immediately after Ollie returned:
Bow and arrow related deaths and injuries
Tech thefts (I forget whether Central City is first or second in the nation at this point)
City destroying events

Edit: I feel like a really good gag would've been if William mentioned an Archery club at his school starting and that he joined

Everything with prison Oliver is good but the other little pieces on the show are starting to slip and I'm worried.


I've said it before but with every episode more and more I feel like I must've been holding onto a cursed monkey's paw back in season 2 when I thought "gosh I like this Felicity girl, I hope she's around more"


Also, so there's no way that Oliver's prison friend isn't either working for Diaz or the big bad this season, right?

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

So the Longbow Hunters are a guy with a shield, a woman with utility darts for every situation, and a stealthy martial artist? I feel like I've seen these folks somewhere before.


I loved Brickwell's face at the end there. Arrow in jail is great in all the ways Flash in jail wasn't.

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
So are the Longbow Hunters dudes who are really good with longbows, or dudes that stole longbows one time and everyone started calling them that?


Because not one longbow was used this episode. Nor do any of them have the muscle structure to use one to the fullest extent.

Pretty sure Roy had a longbow, but i didn't get a good look at it.

I want Conroy mostly for the voice but also because he's looked craggy and decrepit since at least the year 2000 and would be a perfect fit physically for a burnt-out older Bruce.

Argus is literally the worst Secret Government agency. The guards run out and just stand there, when they should be just shooting on site.

JUST SHOOT. I yell this at the screen way too much while watching Arrow.

Though the silent fight was pretty cool.

He's threatening to kill the writers' families unless they give him control of this season's storyline.

I'm really torn, because I like the actor from back when he was in Band of Brothers and I'm glad to see him get a large role, and he's a good actor! But yeah who caaaaaaares just shoot him already. Maybe it's because it's Vincent D'Onofrio, but I enjoyed Wilson Fisk on Daredevil despite the same sort of "everyone's magically in my pocket" shenanigans that Diaz is constantly pulling, and it seems way less believable on Diaz. Probably because he's a no-name, no-powers, uninteresting thug-looking guy that we just met, instead of a classic comic-book villain.

Please don't chime in here to tell me about Ricardo Dragon or whoever Diaz is supposed to be, because no one knows who that is. Diaz hasn't acted like anything other than a generic thug, even Bullet Tooth Tony and Cutty from the Wire had more to distinguish them as villain characters.

DD also shows how easily you can fall under Fisk's manipulations, and how each concession just makes it worse.

Meanwhile Arrow just tells you how awesome Diaz is.
