Abu Nazir is headin' to Arrow

Arrow has cast its latest big bad for season two and it's one of TV's ultimate baddies: Homeland's Navid Negahban, who played the terrifying terrorist Abu Nazir during the Showtime's hit first two seasons, is set to take on the role of a new villain named Al-Owal, we can exclusively confirm.

Spoiler

And Awwal isn't just your average foe as he has major ties to a group of baddies DC Comics fans know very well, which also connects him to Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), Oliver's (Stephen Amell) biggest adversary in season one of the CW hit series.

Negahban will first appear in episode five and is described as a formidable foe thanks to membership in one of DC Comic's most infamous group of bad guys. Meticulous, driven, and deadly, Al-Owal, whose name in Arabic means "The First," is after someone very close to Oliver. Oh, and the man knows how to handle a scimitar.

yeah, so good chance he dies next season.

Abu Nazir is headin' to Arrow

"Hello Ol-iv-er."

Pretty good choice for a bad guy. Let's hope he's a straight up badass.

So he's basically Arrow's version of

Spoiler

Ra's al Ghul?

Or perhaps another

Spoiler

student like Malcolm was? Though with the name "The First", I bet he's gonna be Ra's.

Edit:

You know, we need some Arrow memes up in here.

Like for Oliver:

"Is young, wealthy, and driven by a thirst social justice."

"Spends his nights killing people by shooting them with arrows."

 

[fallengorn]

Man, I hope

Spoiler

Al-Owal is a red herring, but I doubt it. I want to see Ra's. I want the funky moustache. Stoooopid Bat-embargo.

Arrow Season 5:

"You're not Al-Owal... I killed him."

"But is Al-Owal immortal? Are his methods... supernatural?"

"Or cheap parlour tricks to conceal your true identity... 'Al-Owal'."

"Surely a man who spends his nights scrambling through the back alleys of Starling wouldn't begrudge me triple identities."


SLADE IS THE REAL AL-OWAL!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?! WTFBBQ!?!?!?!?!!?!

Given the fashion choices on Arrow, I am expecting the Flash to wear a tight red leather outfit.

Eh I'm optimistic, I like Laurel's actress (she was also great in Supernatural) but the material they gave her in season 1 was awful. It was basically the Smallville version of Lana Lang where her primary purpose on the show is to bounce from dude to dude and create love triangles. Hopefully we're somewhat over that in s2 with Tommy gone and maybe some Black Canary stuff starting up, but knowing the CW they will just bring some other bimbo and start the love triangle filler cycle all over again.

Sounds like those pirates aren't about Oliver - plus another DC character is being added:

Spoiler

"Episode 2.05 of Arrow will see the introduction of Doctor Anthony Ivo.

Seen in flashbacks on the pirate ship where Lisa has been rescued and helps her. He does have an agenda though and he is trying to save the human race."

Again, Lisa is Black Canary 1.0.

The DC character sounds very... comic-y for Arrow.

Spoiler

Wonder if there's gonna be more powers besides The Flash. Or maybe this dude will have something to do with that.

How does The Flash get his powers in the comics? Struck by lightning? Got bit by a radioactive cheetah?

Love this show so much that I just marathoned it for the second time with a friend that hadn't seen it over the weekend. Give me season 2 already goddamit. If only Arrow was produced by Netflix and they just dumped all the episodes at once... sigh.

 

[Effect]

I still think DC and Warner Bros are missing a big opportunity here by not connecting Arrow with the Man of Steel universe. Still holding out hope they will if the next film does well.

So we could have been waiting on season 2 since October 2012 instead of May 2013?

well if it mean Bennett would be in it and kick Batman ass over and over again, I'm game.

True that . But at least we'd get it all in October again !

Seriously, the show has set up Green Arrow and many villains so well that they would just fit right in. If they do the Flash justice and he's popular I wouldn't be surprised if DC just scraps the film and brings in Flash/Green Arrow straight into Justice League.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

I believe that show's only 10 episodes, so production would be over relatively fast. There's a good possibility she will grace us with her terrible acting again.

Now that we're getting Black Canary, they can do a Birds of Prey episode. With any luck, they'll sing about how Batman is the only hero capable of satisfying a woman.

The bonde hair looks weird on Laurel, she looked much better in Supernatural as a blonde. Guess it might be cause I got used to brunette Katie.
