Never in a million years.
I would not like any of the trinity on TV.
Red Hood and Nightwing maybe.
The same way Ollie does in the comics I guess? I mean neither him or Batman have super powers and do just fine. But Ollie has always been awesome when in a JL like group so I assume that is what they are moving this towards with the rumors of Nightwing, etc.

Batman is not showing up in this when there was a bidding war for Gotham. Zilch.
Seems like it did extremely well in the ratings

But what about Clark Kent? Tom Welling aint doing shit these days.
In the comics, heroes without powers are usually extremely well equipped, exceptionally brilliant, physically gifted, or filthy rich.
Batman is all of the above. Comic-Arrow covers most of these and TV-Arrow even less.
Fantastic.
Arrow is pretty much on track for a 3rd season then.
Arrow is on track for a full series. It's one of only four shows on The CW that averages near or above a 1.0, which for the CW is a huge success.
Gustin, Johns, Berlanti and Kreisberg on the mid-season finale, future of Flash and the Arrow.

I hope it doesn't become like Supernatural, which just keeps going and going (though to be fair haven't seen past season 6 so maybe its still good)
Jesus, this show has really stepped up its game. I am now actually excited about the Flash series and the kid playing Barry Allen.
edit: ^^^ season 9 has kinda been a return to force with a monster-of-the-week and a bigger story in the background.

After a season and a half of them making Green Arrow a B++ character,
the handling of the universe, all the references and finally that Flash origin
I would definitely want the core showrunners involved in shaping up the DC cinematic universe, get on it WB.
it depends how close or far away WB wants this from the cinematic universe.

we don't know that anymore actually. last season everything Batman related(well B tier and up) was off limits now they are name dropping Ra's left and right.

Thats why you use Nightwing, directly acknowledges Batman but you don't have to worry about him overpowering Green Arrow.
at the same time though you can't have Ollie solo a direct Batman villain like Ra's
Nightwing, Cassandra Cain, somebody Batman related also needs to be involved.
Arrow's going to get a sixth season.
It's doing twice the business you need to do to avoid cancellation on The CW.
maybe it is a venom precursor
"Once he has lost everyone and everything he values....
I will drive an arrow through his eye."
I immediately recalled that scene from the pilot.Cant wait to see that fight on the island. Maybe they will show it at the end of S2.
hopefully but I doubt it. didn't someone post a while back that the producers said they were gonna keep the flashbacks going until the show ends

I'm fine with Ollie and Barry being the Batman/Superman of this universe. If Ollie takes out R'as, I'm cool with that.

I would actually get pissed.
Season 5 rolls around Joker shows up, Ollie takes him out also.
Catwoman shows up, Ollie's love interest
Talia? Ollie bangs her, Damian Queen incoming.
Yes, but that doesn't mean Slade is around in Year 3 of Island flashbacks.

The DCU often "shares" villains. I don't think Ollie would kill Ra's, out of respect to Ra's story being more involved with Batman, but fighting off the League of Assassin's? I don't see why not.
It's not like we're talking about Joker here.

Same.
The shows will be able to get away with so much more too due to not having the expectations and baggage Batman and Superman would.
...but they can bring in Wonder Woman, IDGAF

only mean direct A & B level enemies
Deadshot, Firefly, Royal Flush, Slade, etc don't really count.
fighting him off a few times is fine, killing Ra's isn't.
even then if a Batman enemy is openly up to something, its his job to stop it.
nonono
WB already gave these showrunners a chance and they fucked up incredibly with Green Lantern. Keep them on TV.
To be fair they wrote just one draft for GL. They are obviously good at building a universe though. So I'd say if Flash pans out they should be involved with creating the DCU or at least be in charge of TV DCU.
Is it just me or did Slade develop extremely strong feelings for Shado relatively quickly? I mean, it just wasn't developed well IMO.
I wished Slade and Ollie had more of a bromance going, but I guess we knew he was gonna end up a bad guy.

Still, I wonder whatever happened to Slade's kid.

Its a syndrome where the arent many girls around. I felt it going to school in a small college in Arkansas and when working at Walmart. It changes you...

Its not just you. I really liked Slade too. Seemed like the most obvious thing to do with him too. Shame.
Hmmm not sure if I would tbh. Can see it working maybe.
Weird thought, but out of Batman's more famous rogues, I think the ones (if DC are up to giving more to Arrow) can see fitting (and not being used in moviveverse) best into Arrow are Riddler and Zsasz. Strike me as slotting in quite nicely to the themes and type of show Arrow has set up.
Also a massive troll would be if Bruce Wayne does turn up, but it turns out to be Hush. Mwhhahahaha

Stephen Amell will be at the Dallas Sci-Fi Expo in February.
I'm excited.
I'm excited.
Yeah this is my only concern, too many superpowers going around in too little time. I guess he still beat the shit out of a super up Cyrus and presumably Slade on the island.

nothing could save that movie.
I've heard that the first draft was decent though, it was only when someone else got involved that it got worse.

No Emily Bett? Might try to go anyway...

Consequence of how fast paced this show is. Most of the time it works in their favor, but things like Slade/Shado and Moira's trial feel really rushed.
Hope we do see Ravager show up. Especially if it's Rose. Dat CW casting.
There was a 5 months gap between Season 1 and 2. In my experience it's plenty of time to develop strong feelings.
Exactly. Ollie has now beat a super-powered guy twice. He's well able to handle his own after those 5 years on the island. Speaking of which I hope we see more Ollie working out and training on the island so that it's more believable he's so good.
Same here and going by the quality that Arrow has had so far, I'm inclined to believe that the showrunners did a good job writting the first draft.

Katrina Law? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Can't believe he beat up Slade on the island and Malcom was able to kick his ass handily during their first encounters.
Yes, 5 years on the island, presumably told in 5 seasons of the show. Producers said that the last episode of Arrow will coincide with the flashback of Olie leaving the island.

Slade forced Ollie to engage in beast mode. He was rusty when fighting Malcolm. That's my assumption. Plus, Malcolm is a fucking boss.
Plus, we don't know if Ollie beat Slade in a fair one on one fight. He did shoot his eye out.
It's possible he was holding back against Malcolm because of Tommy.
They seem to suggest that Ollie was losing and had to resort to stabbing his eye.
Maybe Ollie pulled a snake move on Slade?
Maybe Malcolm was just that good?
there's a lot of ways they can play this.
