Seizoen 2 van Arrow zit er op en ging uit met een ongelofelijk spectaculair einde die enkele verassingen voor ons fans in petto had. CW maakte ruim van te voren bekend dat seizoen 3 een groen licht heeft gekregen en nu is de grote vraag voor de fans: Welke nieuwe karakters uit de comic gaan hun intrede maken?? Dat is waar in dit artikel over gespeculeerd wordt en ik hoop persoonlijk op:

4. Ra's al Ghul

Characters have been talking about Ra's al Ghul so much this season that he has to show up soon. That worries me a bit because there's the possibility that they'll just crib from the last live action Ra's. Liam Neeson is a great actor, but The Demon's Head should never be an lily-white guy dishonorably hiding behind a Japanese scapegoat, without even having a single Lazarus Pit! Although the show is definitely takes plenty of cues from Nolan's Bat-trilogy, hopefully its showrunners have the good sense not to reinvent what O'Neil and Adams already perfected.

Cast a Middle Eastern actor who exudes gravitas and give him a devilish haircut and a green Dracula outfit. Just don't have him try to overeagerly betroth Talia to Oliver and then get into a shirtless scimitar fight with him, because those should remain Batman exclusive plot points. Instead, have him chill out in Nanda Parbat dispensing sage relationship advice to Nyssa and Sara. Audience expectations will be so confused when they see that Ra's al Ghul is the male equivalent of Moira Queen...but with more anecdotes about folks he met during The Crusades.
