3) More Classic Green Arrow Characters
It seems like the people behind Arrow announce a new comic book villain almost every day for the upcoming season, and some of these unconventional choices have made fans pretty excited so far. Anarky is an underrated Batman antagonist, Double Down is a super-powered Flash foe whose skin is made of magic playing cards (hmmm), and the seasons new big bad is Damien Darhk, the seemingly dyslexic head of the evil H.I.V.E. organization.
In the comics, Green Arrow doesn’t have an iconic set of villains to face off against like Batman or the Flash, but Oliver has still cultivated his own rogues gallery that the show has begun to explore in the form of China White and Count Vertigo. Hopefully, season four of Arrow will continue to explore the archer’s heritage further, potentially using villains such as the enigmatic Onomatopoeia and the assassin Jade.
Earlier episodes also alluded to the existence of Oliver’s son, who briefly replaced the archer in the comics, but little was heard of him on the small screen following this revelation in season two. While it’s unlikely that Connor Hawke will be anywhere near ready to adopt Green Arrows’s mantle in season four, another brief appearance or even a mention would satiate the curiosity of fans who waited patiently to hear more about Oliver’s successor.
Just don’t give us a mini-Arrow wannabe. Colton Haynes was enough for one show, bless him.
