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.

NBC release Constantine Extended Promo- and it's AWESOME




Just recently NBC released this extended promo for the upcoming TV show Constantine. Based on DC Comics Hellblazer the show has critics and fans alike going crazy already! With the extended promo over three minutes long it gives us a good look at what to expect!

With a Supernatural like feel along with some pretty creepy scenes we're sure this show is going to smash it this fall! With a mix of cool complicated characters, strong religious themes and border line terrifying beings popping up I think this show has a lot to offer us- and I'm sure will be around for a considerable amount of seasons.

What do you guys think? Excited for Constantine yet? Check out the chilling trailer above.

New Promo Images released for CW's 'The Flash'


Having been verified and picked up by The CW the DC comics spinoff show The Flash is coming to us this autumn. Having build quite the buzz around the show through Arrow excitement and popularity keep increasing for the new show. And The CW have released this new image to continue creating that 'buzz' around the show.

Arrow has already given us glimpses into what to expect from the show from Barry Allen's awakening from his coma, to the Star Labs employees who are destined for great things on either side of the law; Justice League's Vibe and the seemingly innocent woman who is to become 'Ice Queen' herself...Killer Frost.

Personally I'm truly excited for the show due to two main reasons; The amazingly talented Grant Gustin and the second being Killer Frost. It's about time she had the screen time she's worth.

What do you guys think? Excited for the new show? Do you think any another heroes or villains are likely to crop up? We do know the Revers Flash is going to pop up and he is linked to Barry's mothers death, but will he be alone? Surely not! Feel free to comment, I would love to hear your thoughts on The Flash. And don't forget to subscribe!

Batman Prequel 'Gotham' gets a Trailer






Fox has finally released a trailer for their upcoming Batman prequel series 'Gotham' and we're so excited!

The series will focus on a young Commissioner Gordon and will include many heroes and villains from The Batman and DC Universe such as The Riddler, Catwoman and The Penguin, just to name a few. The show is said to lead all the up to Batman 'putting on the cape-'-so a pretty long run is presumed if everything goes to plan. We're hoping for a dark, gothic 'Smallville' like show (except way, way better). I've got high hopes with this show!



What do you guys think? Pretty awesome! This will be worth waiting for! Gotham is due to air this Autumn. 


What do you guys think? Pretty awesome! This will be worth the wait! The series is due to air this Autumn.

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'.

Harley Quinn to come to Starling City?

‘Suicide Squad’, the latest episode of Arrow encapsulated many well known DC comic book villains through A.R.G.U.S and their recruitment of the ‘Suicide Squad’ itself, ran by The Arrow’s trusted sidekick John ‘Diggle’. But more importantly for fans of DC and their comics and/or adaptations we were given one of the best easter eggs so far in the show (OR IN ANY SHOW!).
The voice of HARLEY QUINN! Coming from behind a cell door yelling in her famous Brooklyn accent, “Do you cuties need some counselling? I’m a trained therapist.” Only that one line, and seeing a woman’s BLONDE hair through the window panel has given us avid fans more than enough to go crazy over!
Image
Harley Quinn, is (in comic book terms) royalty in the DC universe, being originally known as Dr Harleen Quinzel, working in Arkham Asylum, until she fell ‘madly’ in love her patient -Gotham City’s super villain The Joker.
Image
Although, always having a background in psychology, the adaptations have ranged for Harley Quinn, from Doctor, to stranger, to apparently now being “Trained in counselling”, which could suggest she is a Doctor, or at least has an extensive knowledge within psychology. The CW seemed to have kept two of the most iconic traits of Harley Quinn; her background in the study of the human mind and behaviour, and of course, her Brooklyn accent. The CW however, have full reign on every other element of the loveable and relatable villainess!- Her story. How has she ended up in A.R.G.U.S,? What are her plans? And most of all has she even met The Joker yet?Just about anything could go!
One thing is for sure, that’s not the last we will see of Harley Quinn in Arrow, (or maybe even in its spinoff series ‘The Flash’). Either way Harley Quinn is there (all be it, in a cell), but there is a very strong chance we have just caught a glimpse of season 3′s villain…
But where’s her ‘puddin’?
