ARROW NEWS:
- Arrow’s SDCC Trailer Give Us the Prison Shower Fight We Never Knew We Wanted (Date: 21 July 2018)
- Now referred to as Prisoner 4587, Oliver is counting down the days by leaving marks on his prison wall, while also keeping his body in fighting shape. One quick scene also shows Oliver with The Count of Monte Cristo, along with a photo of Felicity and his son, William. Thanks to Diggle, we find out Oliver has been locked up for five months with the likes of Derek Sampson (independent wrestler Cody Rhodes). Being among criminals looking for revenge leads to an epic beatdown delivered by Oliver –right in the middle of the shower stalls. From there, we learn Star City has implemented a zero tolerance policy on all vigilantism.

- SDCC: Arrow Cast & Crew Declassify Season 7 (Date: 21 July 2018)
- Highlights from the SDCC panel
- “The good thing is Roy is coming back,” Haynes shared. “He’s not the same person. It’s going to be very, very interesting. That’s all I can say. Beth did — she’s a genius, so she wrote me a version of the character that just was so special. It’s going to be hard for me to do, but I’m going to be happy to do it. I’m so excited to come back.”
- As to the crossover, Schwartz said, “We’re still working on the first half of the season, so we haven’t gotten to the crossover.”
- Amell: “The coolest thing about the premiere for me is… there’s nothing about him that’s heroic at all. If you’re a fan of the character and you root for the character, I really hope the premiere pisses you off,” he added. “I really enjoy it. There’s one scene in particular in the premiere where what Oliver does is reprehensible.”
- A young fan asked if Oliver and Felicity would ever have a child of their own. “No babies this year!” Schwartz said, ending the panel.

- ‘Arrow’ Episode 702 Title Revealed As “The Longbow Hunters” (Date: 23 July 2018)
- Arrow’s sixth season finale introduced The Longbow Hunters to the Arrowverse and now it sounds like the group of villains will take center stage in the second episode of the show’s seventh season. Showrunner Beth Schwartz revealed the title of the episode in a photo shared to Twitter today revealing that the episode is titled “The Longbow Hunters”.

- Arrow Casts a New Age of DC Heroes Character for Season 7 (Date: 21 July 2018)
- The CW announced at Comic-Con International that Silencer will be joining the cast of Arrow as a member of the previously teased team of Longbow Hunters, a trio of villains described as “more lethal than any the team has faced.” Silencer, along with Red Dart and Kodiak, will gather at the behest of Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) in an attempt by Season 6’s big villain to take out Oliver Queen and his team once and for all. Played by Miranda Edwards (The Magicians, Orphan Black) Silencer is described as “a master of stealth,” which, depending on how close the character hews to her comic book incarnation, may be a massive understatement.

GENERAL DC NEWS:

- ‘Legends of Tomorrow’: Maisie Richardson-Sellers’ Role in Season 4 Revealed (Date: 21 July 2018)
- Maisie Richardson-Sellers will be playing an entirely new role in Season 4. Richardson-Sellers will return as a new character named Charlie. Charlie is British, and described as a “rebel without a cause” with ties to the mysterious portal of magic that the Legends opened. Apparently, the Legends stumble upon her and are unsure if she’s a friend or foe. Either way, she will definitely shake up the ship again.

- Rip Hunter Won’t Return in ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ Season 4 (Date: 23 July 2018)
- Arrowverse executive producer Marc Guggenheim has already left the door open, stating that Rip could indeed return… someday: “We love Arthur, we love having Arthur on the show, and I think Arthur enjoys being on the show. Because it’s a time travel show, and because we never saw a body, anything is possible. I think Arthur is totally willing to come back and play with us if we have a cool idea.”

- Why Legends of Tomorrow Isn’t Part of This Year’s Arrowverse Crossover (Date: 23 July 2018)
- Executive producer Keto Shimizu explained, “Tonally, we are so different from those other shows at this point, it’s hard to jump back into that world with the other Arrowverse shows. And we did it last year and it was of course this gargantuan production and pre-production. For four shows to do that again and to try and make it bigger than last time, I just don’t think it’s possible. I think the crossovers are going to be a lot different in general than what we’ve seen.”

- Legends of Tomorrow Welcomes an All-Star Squadron Member in Season 4 (Date: 21 July 2018)
- Alaska You is the first to join the show. Played by Ramona Young, the character is described as a “typical twenty something” who will eventually become a “kickass superhero.” The second hero is actually related to an existing Legend; Hank Heywood, Nate’s father, will have a recurring role throughout the season. Played by Tom Wilson, the character’s description doesn’t mention any superpowers.
