Green Arrow

Just over a week removed from the Arrow Season 4 finale, fans are still awaiting the new big bad to menace Star City (or maybe the entire galaxy this time, for scale), but what of any new heroes? Well, heroes-ish, anyway, as Arrow Season 5 is looking to add a reckless new vigilante to its ranks.

Any Arrow fan well-remembers that the CW drama’s take on DC’s Suicide Squad seemingly went up in smoke over the course of Season 3, reportedly over corporate mandate not to compete with David Ayer’s upcoming film. Now, series star Willa Holland confirms as much, venting her frustration that DC TV can’t interact with the films the way Marvel or Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. do.

The fourth season finale of Arrow ended on a fairly low-key “Schism,” disappointing a throng of fans who tuned into see if a time-turning Flash twist one-night earlier would ripple out across The CW’s DC dramas. The Arrow finale went by with nary a mention of Central City, but star Stephen Amell thinks the emerald archer will be back to basics in Season 5, rather than dealing with time-travel twists from another series.

‘Arrow’ faced down a nuclear “Schism” at the hands of Damien Darhk for its Season 4 finale, but what big twist saw Oliver finally stepping into the light? And what exactly will send us to Russia in Season 5? Find out in our full review!

It’s that time of year again, as Flash and Arrow gear up for their respective second and fourth season finales, following this past week’s Legends of Tomorrow closer. The full photo sets see Barry in “The Race of His Life,” but what “Schism” might Arrow be hurtling toward in the final showdown with Damien Darhk?

‘Arrow’ brought Felicity family drama out of the woodwork for penultimate Season 4 outing “Lost in the Flood,” but what major Season 5 clue was name-dropped in the process? And is Oliver finally moving into the light? Find out in our full review!

‘Arrow’ went biblical with its ante-penultimate Season 4 attack on “Monument Point,” but what major Season 5 clue launched in the process? How about Felicity’s big reunion with papa Calculator? Find out in our full review!

The Flash fans will have a chance to see their hero through Kevin Smith’s eyes by ante-penultimate Season 2 outing “The Runaway Dinosaur,” as well an early installment of Season 3, but would the Yoga Hosers director ever take on Arrow? Not behind the camera, perhaps, though Smith now wants to write an episode or two of The Flash’s DC TV progenitor, adapting a famous villain from his own comic run.

Arrow may seem a little shorthanded going into the Season 4 finale, but Season 5 may yet return the team to its full strength. Even as one hero remains six feet under, Arrow Season 5 will reportedly return Colton Haynes as Roy Harper for a number of episodes.

‘Arrow’ enters the final four with a nuclear endgame “Genesis,” but does a friend of Constantine’s hold the key to Oliver’s inner good guy? Does someone in the Diggle family tree get cut down to size? Find out in our full review!
