But Ras didn't factor into Bruce's past normally, that was a Nolan thing. I think Gotham will steer of anything that fantastical and Arrow/Flash can use those elements and characters.

But DC has been hardcore about this sort of thing before.

You guys are talking about Steven R McQueen posting a picture of himself with Stephen Amell at an LA Kings games recently. There were rumors of him playing Nightwing back around November. So yes I think it's just a dude working the internet.

I think Nyssa is too important of a character now that she is going to have to have some air time in season 3 along with the league. Ras on the other hand you're probably not seeing.

It would make sense for him to appear in season 3 since Malcolm Merlin is going to be the main bad guy. He comes out to put down his adopted son or something like that.

Devon Aoki cast as Katana, who will be a recurring character in flashbacks

NICE.

Hoping to catch Deathstroke himself at this weekends Supercon.

Is Katana someone from the comics?

Katana is someone from the comics. Most associated with (Batman and) The Outsiders.

Though I believe in recent New 52 comics there is some sort of connection with Green Arrow. Been meaning to check out some Green Arrow comics..... was pretty terrible, but I hear it got "good" after Jeff Lemire took over the book. I hear he brought Diggle over into the comics.

I think Green Arrow's lack of popularity is a big reason why the show is so good.

They kept the origin of being stranded on an island for x amount of years, but they have changed a lot of his story haven't they? There isn't really any hardcore fan base that is going to get pissed off by what happens to certain characters. I think that's a definite plus for the show.

Also Arrow is probably slowly turning Green Arrow into a Main Eventer for DC. I would think they the popularity of the character had grown over the past 2 years.

Just as I express interest in Jeff Lemire's Green Arrow run... it appears to be ending! However! The new writers will be Arrow's executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, and Ben Sokolowski, one of the writers from the show.

Perhaps they're be brand unifications with his growing popularity.

Met Slade, Shado, and the bearded Russian dude (and him I got to hang out and chat with since he got little traffic). Slade is a troll with his strength. Had some fun with how skinny I am using especially firm handshakes. Shado's a sweet chick.

(to save time I will use their character names so you know instantly who I'm talking about, just got home and fuck google).

The chick who played Nyssa was there but I didn't really feel like roughing another line.

Also had a chat with Jerry Lawler about Cena and the current business. Pretty cool that he gave thoughts to my opinions.

In case you missed it, Peter Stormare will be taking over Count Vertigo duties starting in season 3.

Brandon Routh tapped to play Ray Palmer. AKA The Atom.

Great to see Routh, but we did see Ray's wife, right? That there's a mismatch.

I imagine Count Vertigo will be depicted slightly closer to his comic version.

Ray Palmer doesn't need to have anything to do with Jean Loring in the show if they don't want.

Also, I am pretty excited for that news. I like The Atom. I don't imagine we'll actually get any shrinking action going on.... but.... I'd love it.

Will have a hard time picturing Routh as anybody but Superman/Clark Kent, though. We shall see.

Well of course the casting is inspired, they have to know who he's associated with. Sort of like Dean Cain's appearance in Smallville (and Chris Reeve for that matter). Hope to see more fun casting like this.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm. More star power.


Wentworth Miller on board to play Captain Cold.

For Arrow or Flash?

He would be for Flash

Yahoo! fail on that. They said Arrow.

Yahoo News, bro?

Red Arrow:

More hyped for this show to return than I am to see any other superhero related movie/tv show.

Also, episode 8 of Arrow season 3 will be a crossover with episode 8 of The Flash.

Yeah I don't like that scene at about 2:14. Someone has to die, because of that.

Another teaser trailer that's not embedded, because I couldn't figure out how to. You'll enjoy it.

Right click the screen and choose embed.

I was on my iPad

Apple things are weird.

Pretty hyped to see Ra's Al Ghul

Ted Grant cast for season 3. Will have a recurring role.

I figured Wildcat would be in. One of the actors tweeted a boxing ring. Forget to mention it here.

Finally saw the series, now I am sad Season 3 is still a few months away. What's with the flip flopping on the pronunciation of Ra's Al Ghul? It is Raas in the Arabic script, not Raysh as alluded to in Season 2 and elsewhere.

People have always had trouble with the actual pronunciation of his name, even though it isn't really that hard at all.

Rila Fukushima (Yukio in The Wolverine) replaces Devon Aoki as Katana.

Devon Aoki pulled out due to scheduling conflicts. Sounds REALLY last minute. I wonder if they gotta re-film scenes now?

The Demon's Head has been cast.

No idea who Matt Nabb is.

*Nable

He was in Riddick 3.

Liam Neeson said in an interview if he was asked to play Ra's for Arrow this season, he'd consider it.

Me thinks they should have asked him.

They can't afford him anyway, not to mention the major continuity questions that would surface.
