Who will come to Starling City? - Arrow Season 3 Spoilers

Having the fast paced, storyline of season 2 finally come to an end we saw Oliver Queen and Starling City's other heroes (and villains) rise up to take down Deathstroke and his army of super-powered troops. After such a climatic season we can only imagine what will come next to be able to match the hype that was built around season 2 of Arrow.

Yet with only a matter of weeks before the third season of Arrow kicks off it seems that we have been given so much information on whats in store for the season, who will come into the show and which iconic DC heroes and villains we are likely to encounter fans are thrilled and overwhelmed with juicy gossip and information. Therefore this post allows us to look at all of the information we have been given from  the powers that be at The CW and allow fans to gain a further insight into some of the characters, themes and ideas that will be apparent through season 3 of Arrow.

The Flash Extended trailer has 'zoomed' to our screens - and its awesome!

The arrow spinoff show The Flash, (portrayed by the painfully attractive Grant Gustin) has been teased at us for months now, with characters from The Flash appearing in Arrow over the course of the last two months of the second season , and having the marketing materials slowly drip fed to us. The powers that be at The CW have gave us an extended trailer. Portraying what is to come in the pilot episode and the overall season, and showing us what to expect from Barry Allen: The Flash.

The trailer implies that the night Barry Allen got his powers, he may not have been the only one. The teaser shows us his team and a mysterious man whom seeks to  recruit Barry and his team from, Star Lab, in order to search for other 'Meta-Humans' like himself. We see the death of his mother and the a first glimpse at The Flash's arch nemesis Zoom aka 'The Reverse Flash', who just happened to be the one who murdered Barry's mother. Honestly, theres just so much in this trailer (probably due to the five minute length)- but seriously, if you didn't want Arrow give this a watch and you'll be right up to 'speed'. And if you did, give it a watch anyway! It's worth it!

Oh and he casually woke up with a six pack... Now that's just not fair.

The Flash is set to air this fall on The CW.

Romance, Death & Rising Heroes - Arrow Season 2 Finale

With the entire second season of Arrow leading up to the climatic finale tonight, I think it's fair to wonder what is actually going to go down in Starling City.

The Arrow's once ally, turned super powered enemy due to a mysterious empowering serum; The Mirikuru, Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) now has an army of similarly empowered beings ravaging Starling City, along with a twisted (and again super powered) Isabel Rochev. With all of his moves leading to this Starling City has become his chess board with all of our beloved heroes simply playing the role of pawns.

With Amanda Waller (Head of A.R.G.U.S) now involved and threatening to level the city, for the sake of innocent civillians all over the globe, it seems that the Arrow and his allies really can't win this one, can they?

With that in mind I will address the main things we're expecting- or hoping for (Olicity fans) in tonights finale.

All Hail 'The Queen'

Throughout this season of Arrow we have been shown the beautiful Isabel Rochev. Strong, independent and educated Isabel has now taken over the company Queen Consolodated much to our shock! The villainess ironically aims to raise the company from it's failing state by becoming its latest CEO, not only for the pay-rise but for the reputation of the deceased Robert Queen. The supposed love of her life. 

But this should not have been such a surprise as the Isabel Rochev, has been shown before in exactly the same way. Born in Serbia and catching the eye of CEO Robert Queen (Queen Consolodated), Isabel wanted more from life. Falling in love with our beloved heros father, she believed they were each others 'soul-mates' and destined to be together. The validity of this statement is unknown, however in the DC comics universe 'The Queen', as she is known  believes herself to be the true air of Queen Consolodated, having dedicated her life to breaking away from the class system to which she was enslaved, to rise from rags to riches educating herself to deserve the role and title of 'The Queen' of not only Robert Queen's life but his corporation too. 

In the comics we cannot be sure as to which motives and claims are true, but within the 'Arrow' universe we can presume there is more to this story than we know as of yet. Why? Because the go-getting, rank-rising business women's name was written in the book Robert Queen left his son in season 1. The book used as 'The Hood's hit list'.
