The Deathstroke to be in the DC film universe reveal pretty much fucks Arrow out of ever being cool again.

Actually Manu Bennett did that himself after he got pissed about his season 3 appearance.

Hah what's the story behind this one? Any links?

Here's the original article

Basically, he was pretty unhappy with the way they handled him in season 3, especially since season 2 was drat good.

They did say that Prometheus is someone who was affected by Oliver's crusade in season 1.

Comedy option: Laurel is Prometheus

It would make sense too, seeing as how she was probably one of the people most affected by Oliver's S1 crusade.

Probably because:
  • He's the only one capable of leading the team effectively.
  • He's probably the most dangerous (he'll do whatever it takes/kill if he has to) member of the team.
  • He fought the two most arguably powerful characters in the CW-verse to a standstill (Barry and Thawne).
  • It's already been proved that without him at 100%, the team can and will get their poo poo kicked in. Case in point: last season's crossover. He was distracted and Savage went Judgement Day on them, forcing Barry to go back in time for a reset.
  • Basically, he's the Batman of the CW crew.

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.

Reporter lady is paying off a federal agent for poo poo about Oliver, which is why she got the info about him being in Russia while he was "dead." This was shown super early in the season.

I dunno. Arrow got real bad around the time Felicity got up from her wheelchair and walked out on Ollie, LoT season 1 was... uneven at best, and Flash's current writing team are pants on head stupid.

Would be pretty cool if Michael Jai White came back. I'm not sure what Bronze Tiger's status is at the minute in the Arrowverse (I don't think he's been around for a couple of years?) but if they're going and doing kung fu Arrow, he'd be a guy you'd want.

Who's the best legitimate martial artist in the cast? I know David Ramsey has a black belt in jeet kune do.

Pretty sure Bronze Tiger was killed off between seasons in the Arrow comic. Unceremoniously too, I might add.
