ARROW Producer Wants Batman in Series and Details on Upcoming Episodes Revealed
During an interview with THR, Arrow producer Marc Guggenheim said he would like to introduce Batman into the series. I don't know if it will ever happen, but if it did, the show's ratings would blast through the roof! Here's what Guggenheim said:
“At the end of the day it'd be so awesome to have Batman on the show. That'd be really cool. I don't think that will be happening anytime soon, but you never know…one day.”
The producer went on to point out that when they were planning the series, they never thought it would include characters such as Huntress, Deadshot, and Deathstroke, but here they are. Now in its third season, we also have Ray Palmer, Katana, and the Suicide Squad. The Flash, of course, has also been introduced into the universe. So I guess one day it could be possible to see the Caped Crusader make an appearance.
If that happens, I seriously doubt that it will connect to the DC movie universe being built, or the TV series Gotham. Batman would have to separately exist within the Arrow and Flash universe, which is perfectly fine, and I hope they do it!
We also have some intriguing details on the upcoming episodes of Arrow from TVLine. There are SPOILERS in the following information, so if you read ahead, be prepared to find out some cool intel!
The three episodes following Oliver's seeming death "are among the best we've ever done. They're incredibly compelling," EP Marc Guggenheim promises. The fallout at home not only "makes it necessary" for Laurel to don the Canary costume, but also brings together characters that previously haven't shared a lot of screentime. "There's a lot of Thea and Felicity," and "[Felicity will] have some pretty big moments with Laurel as well." Diggle gets "emotional" in the first hour back, shares David Ramsey, who also hints that the H.I.V.E. storyline will be revisited. Viewers also haven't seen the last of another elite group. "We're definitely going to bring back the Suicide Squad," EP Andrew Kreisberg confirms. And though Sara's killer has been unmasked, Sin will play "a pivotal part" in that storyline in Episode 12, while Sara (Caity Lotz) and Vertigo (Peter Stormare) both appear in Episode 13. Not to be outdone, big bad Slade Wilson (Manu Bennett) returns the following week.
The series is set to return on January 21st. Are you excited about what is coming?!
