ARROW NEWS:

1. Stephen Amell Reveals a Painful ‘Arrow’ First (Date: 17 July 2018)
   1. Arrow’s seventh season may show a new normal for Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), but it sounds like new things are happening behind-the-scenes as well. In a recent tweet, Amell revealed that, after over six seasons of being on the air, he has now been “kicked in the nuts” while filming an Arrow scene. You can check out the tweet below.
   2. @StephenAmell 140 episodes, countless stunt sequences… and I managed to avoid getting kicked in the nuts… UNTIL TODAY!!! 10:03 PM – Jul 17, 2018

2. Batwoman series from Greg Berlanti in development at The CW (Date: 17 July 2018)
   1. It turns out Greg Berlanti’s plans for Batwoman extend far beyond the annual Arrowverse crossover. The CW is developing a script for a Batwoman series for 2019, EW has learned. While there’s no casting news as of yet, the character will make her debut in this year’s DC crossover event, as Arrow star Stephen Amell announced in May. EW has also learned that the forthcoming crossover will include Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl — but not DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The series, which has only reached a script-development deal at this point, will be written by Caroline Dries, who is also executive producing alongside Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Geoff Johns (under his new Mad Ghost Production banner). The annual DC crossover event is slated to air in December.

GENERAL DC NEWS:

1. ‘The Flash’ Star Danielle Panabaker to Make Her Directorial Debut in Season 5! (Exclusive) (Date: 16 July 2018)
   1. In addition to returning as S.T.A.R. Labs scientist Caitlin Snow in The CW series’ fifth season, actress Danielle Panabaker will be stepping behind the camera to direct an upcoming episode. “I am so humbled by this opportunity to utilize everything that I have learned as a storyteller to bring an episode of The Flash to life,” she said. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to have the chance to work alongside our extremely talented (and vast) team that works so hard to make each and every episode of the show. I wouldn’t be here without the support of my Flash family, and I am so thankful for this opportunity to continue to grow and challenge myself as an artist.

2. Smallville alum Sam Witwer joins Supergirl season 4 as Agent Liberty (Date: 17 July 2018)
   1. Supergirl has lured in yet another Smallville vet! Sam Witwer, who starred on Smallville season 8 as Doomsday, has joined the CW superhero drama’s upcoming fourth season in the series regular role of DC Comics character Agent Liberty. In the show’s interpretation on the character, Agent Liberty is the ruthless and terrifying founder and figurehead of Children of Liberty, a hate group that supports a human-first world order. According to a description from the show’s producers, he’s “a brilliant orator in the guise of a family man” and the scariest thing about him is how easily he can convince people that he’s right. Given that Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and the DEO tend to be pro-alien integration, it’s definitely fair to assume they won’t get along with Agent Liberty and his Children of Liberty.

3. DC Universe Announces Fourth Live-Action Series: Stargirl (Date: 19 July 2018)

ARROW NEWS:

1. Arrow Cast Reunites For Photo As Season 7 Begins Production (Date: 06 July 2018)
   8. The Arrow Writers Room tweeted out a photo of Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen), Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity Smoak), David Ramsey (John Diggle) and Echo Kellum (Curtis Holt) celebrating the first table read of the season. Since this is a celebration, there was, of course, also cake involved. This is a major season in the Arrowverse, as it is the first season for new showrunner Beth Schwartz, the show is moving to Mondays at 8pm and Stephen Amell has said that he would like this season to be written as if it there is no guarantee that there will be a Season 8. So it is nice that they can start it all off with some cake.
   9. https://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-7-cast-production-begins/
2. EXCLUSIVE: ‘ARROW’ Season 7 Characters Breakdown Possibly Including Batwoman (Date: 11 July 2018)
3. “Dover” is a male in his 30-40s who is teased as a physically intimidating player. Even though he may not be the brightest person in the room, anyone who is in his presence will feel incredibly small. Whether or not “Dover” is a cover name for a DC character or not, he will be recurring this season.
4. Next is “Leah”, a 30-something woman who is a world-class mercenary who was born to be a leader. Don’t mess with this one because once you see what “Leah” has in her toolbox of skills, you will see why those are known across the world.
5. Last is “Angeline” who may be something we should pay great attention to. Described as a diverse woman in her 30s, she is a fierce fighter despite of her smaller stature. Not only is she experienced in stealth, “Angeline” is able to wipe out buildings filled with foes all by herself before she is gone like a ghost. It will be made very clear that “Angeline” thinks incredibly highly of her work.

2. Stephen Amell Reveals Goatee Is Coming in ‘Arrow’ Season 7 (Date: 20 May 2018)
   1. Star Stephen Amell just confirmed that an iconic part of Green Arrow’s look from the DC Comics universe will debut in Arrow Season Seven on The CW. Amell told a crowd at Motor City Comic Con that he will debut Oliver Queen’s classic goatee in Arrow’s upcoming season. Amell did caution that the goatee may not be sticking around forever, possibly signaling that it will be more of an Easter egg than a lasting redesign to the character. He also made it clear that Green Arrow’s Robin Hood hat won’t be making an appearance. “I can’t promise that I’m going to keep [the goatee] forever,” he said. “I can definitely promise that I’m not going to wear the stupid hat.”

Comicbook.com was on hand during The CW’s recent Upfronts presentation, where Arrow star Stephen Amell announced that Batwoman will be introduced in the upcoming Arrowverse crossover.

We are gonna introduce a new storytelling technique that I’m really excited about. All that I can say.” Stephen Amell couldn’t keep a smile from creeping up his face as he talked about the new technique Arrow will use to tell its stories in Season 7. The idea to switch up how the show tells its stories could be tied to new showrunner Beth Schwartz. We have to speculate it will be tied to Oliver’s incarceration in some way. After all, Arrow could be jumping a lot between prison and Star City, assuming we’re trusting Stephen Amell, who said fans shouldn’t expect the Green Arrow to be making any jailbreak situations happen.

GENERAL DC NEWS:

1. Chris ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ Season 4 Detailed Synopsis Teases Constantine & Magical Threats (Date: 17 May 2018)
   1. After defeating the demon Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends are ready to ease off the gas. Sara (Caity Lotz) and her team join Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) and the Time Bureau to help clean up the last few remaining anachronisms. The job seems straightforward enough until Constantine (Matt Ryan) arrives to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with “Fugitives” – magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things. As the Time Bureau is distrustful of and ill-equipped to deal with magic, the Legends must team up with everyone’s favorite demonologist to set history back on track.

  • • Arrows take out sentries
    • Canary cry; bo staff
    • T-spheres; Curtis beats people up

    • No Diaz or Anatoly
  • To address Anatoly gave them
  • • No guards
    • Watson, Rene, and other FBI agent in room, laser tripwires; bombs

    • Diaz calls Anatoly; Diaz triggers bombs
    • Rene goes back and gets FBI agent
    • Everyone runs out; building goes boom
  • Chemical plant
  • • Diaz ready to shoot Laurel; boom
    • FBI and Team Arrow charge in
    • Guns and booms and arrows
    • Laurel and Dinah help Quentin get out; Canary and Siren screams; Dinah bo staff, Laurel gun
    • Oliver and Diaz fight: night, rain; Oliver took time because wrist has digital sniffer thing; Oliver rams him with arrow
    • Siren screams Diaz into the river; Oliver pissed
• Oliver Queen / Green Arrow
• • Apology tour – why does he have to apologize? To Diggle, yes. But to the newbies? No.
  • Gives Diggle a Green Arrow suit
  • Rene – thought thug at first; judged you too much; you’re a good man
  • Quentin – trust me; I feel bad about Laurel 1, so I will protect Laurel 2; reminisce about arrest, lie detector
  • Dinah – Please keep Black Siren safe; you’ve done a great thing putting vengeance aside
  • With info, FBI can take city back
  • Hospital: tells Quentin he learned how to be a good father because of him
  • Arrested. To camera, “I am the Green Arrow.” Gives speech about how he needs to take responsibility, but the city is strong and needs to keep fighting; Star City still needs saving
  • If escapes, will arrest everyone
  • Says good-bye to William; has Lyla put Felicity and William in protective custody until Diaz caught
• Felicity Smoak / Overwatch
• • So much easier using FBI computers when you have access
  • Can track a pacemaker
  • To Oliver – what’s going on?
  • Has escape plan
• John Diggle / Spartan
• • There should only be one Green Arrow
  • At ARGUS
• Curtis Holt / Mr. Terrific
• • Did stuff
• Dinah Drake / Black Canary

  • What you just said means a lot to me, Oliver
• Quentin Lance
• • Diaz threatens Laurel; Diaz wants him to kick FBI out of city
  • Tells Oliver about pacemaker
  • Goes to Diaz, proof of life, doesn’t follow Watson’s orders
  • Not in immunity agreement
  • Takes a bullet for Laurel
  • “Don’t call me ‘Hoss’ at my funeral”
  • Figures out Oliver gave himself to FBI
• Agent Watson
• • In charge of FBI; insists on taking control of Star City
  • Black Siren is a criminal; not a hostage
  • Arrests everyone on Diaz’s list
• Laurel Lance / Black Siren
• • Locked up by Diaz and has collar
  • Called Sara; tells Sara she is not like her Laurel
• Ricardo Diaz / Richard Dragon
• • Called in the Longbow Hunters – 3 guys – League afraid of them
  • • ‘Arrow’: Who Are the Longbow Hunters? (17 May 2018) [http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/05/17/arrow-season-6-finale-longbow-hunters/]
    • A team of supervillains who debuted Green Arrow (Vol. 5) #31 from July 2014 in the storyline “The Outsiders War, Book 6: Spoils of War”. The volume was part of DC’s New 52 era. Created by Jeff Lemire, the Longbow Hunters was assembled by Richard Dragon — that would be Ricardo Diaz’s comic book counterpart — and was comprised of Count Vertigo, Brick, Red Dart, and Killer Moth.
  • Black Siren sends him into the river
  • Alive
• Anatoly
• • Gets caught being Oliver’s ally
  • Surrenders; tells Oliver about Diaz meeting Longbow Hunters
• What we got right –
• • Quentin dying by saving Black Siren
  • Oliver lost (Diaz didn’t win, which is what Michelle thought would happen)
  • Oliver out as GA, prison (Chris)
  • Team Arrow kisses and makes up to fight Diaz
• Didn’t like? Episode and/or whole season
• • Michelle: Sara in episode for less than 3 minutes; what was the point? How come the FBI didn’t help Star City until now? Is the US government awful in the Arrowverse? Lame “Captain America: Civil War” ripoff storyline. How did Diaz do all of this?
  • SP –
  • • “Hoss” I mean really. I hate that term and how much it’s used. Also. All if forgiven between Rene and Oliver?
    • Longbow hunters.  Really? Out of nowhere? And we didn’t get to see them much
    • I don’t see how this could have been a series finale
    • Little to no Flashbacks. We knew this going in but it really hurt the series
    • No funeral for Quentin…and it’s not really even possible. Memorial, yes. Funeral. No.
    • So who is the Star City Mayor? Agent Watson? Seems self-serving
    • No shirtless scenes
    • So Oliver spends the entire season in prison or even part of it and gets out….then what? He is outed as The Green Arrow.
    • “You have failed this city” missing a bit
    • What happened with the startup?
    • Fractured Team
    • Dinah Ruined
    • Wedding in the Cross-over (reception in cross-over)
  • Chris –
  • • Black Siren arc was dumb all season long.  Redemption arc i never bought into.
    • Wasted guest appearance by Sara.  How does she miss getting to see her Dad, she has a timeship?
    • Nobody cares about secret identities anymore.
    • Forgetting that Ollie is a competent fighter.  He doesn’t need a team.
    • no mention of Talia all season
    • no deaths of consequence when Lian Yu blew up.
    • Rene got ruined in dumb civil war
• Did like? Episode and/or whole season
• • Michelle – The last two episodes had a lot of action; Anatoly’s alive; Thea had a good exit; Diggle and Lyla
  • SP
  • • E2 Laurel Lantz/Black Siren – Katie Cassidy
    • Ricardo Diaz/Dragon – Kirk Acevedo
    • James Caden – Michael Emerson
    • Sister Wives/Nyssa al Ghul – Katrina Law
    • Cross Over (because of LoT and Supergirl)
    • Tommy Merlyn/Christopher Chance – Colin Donnell/Wil Traval
  • Chris –
  • • Crossover was fantastic
    • Slade and Nyssa return
    • Setup for Supermax story. It could be great.
• S7 predictions?
• • Michelle – Roy comes back, first words are “Thea sent me.” Diaz gets captured quickly; otherwise, Felicity will be gone too long, and the show can’t be without Felicity and Oliver most of the season. Diggle head of ARGUS, Roy, and NTA not enough to carry show; has to be resolved by crossover or the crossover deals with this mess. There has to be a better villain or maybe not one big bad all season.
  • SP –
  • • Oliver gets roughed up in Prison
    • Oliver gets out of prison and puts on the hood again
    • Oliver beats up bad guys and defeats Diaz / Unknown enemy
    • CW cancels Arrow….and maybe some other shows.
  • Chris –
  • • Diggle is Green Arrow and Roy comes back to support him when he hears Ollie is in jail.
    • Ollie is out of jail in 2-3 episodes. If they have balls it will be at least ? the season even ½.
    • presidential pardon for the crossover
