General Hospital has a new politician in town. Daniel Cosgrove plays Ezra Boyle, who may or may not be aligned with Congressman Quartermaine. The actor has a popular past.

A Certain Zip Code

Cosgrove is a veteran soap actor, having appeared on All My Children, Guiding Light, Days of Our Lives, and As the World Turns. He has also appeared in the comedy film Van Wilder, the series In Justice, and the drama Dirty Sexy Money. But, the role that any 90s teen or twenty-something will remember him for is Matt Durning in the mega-hit show Beverly Hills, 90210.

90210 was appointment TV in the ’90s, and its young cast became superstars. Matt was not part of the original cast and didn’t join the series until season nine. He came to the show as a good-guy attorney who fell for Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth). The character was filling the...

The following contains spoilers for Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, now streaming on Prime Video.

A major positive of the original Batman Ninja film is its unique cast. Warner Bros. Japan infuses Batman's rogues with a feudal style in a twisted alternate reality. Thankfully, Batman and his clan successfully break the Quake Engine and restore that version of Japan to the real world to end the story on a satisfying note.

Or so fans thought. Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League picks up with the heroes returning to reality and realizing all isn't well. They have to head back to a new version of Japan, (i.e. Hinomoto), to fight a sinister Injustice League. In the process, this sequel charts out an action-packed sequence that subverts DC Comic characters, both visually and in terms of their personality.

Savannah Chrisley visited the White House in February, and told her social media followers that she was there at the Cpac as “a Senior Fellow for the Nolan Center for Criminal Justice.” This week, the Chrisley Knows Best alum took to social media again and gave a shout-out to “Blue Lives Matter,” and related a story that she felt was an injustice.

What Was The Injustice?

The photo that Savannah shared on Instagram on March 20, showed her speaking on a phone. According to her caption, she’d been chatting with the family of a police officer. Well, to correct that, he’s now a “former” officer as he was sent to prison. As far as the USA Network alum is concerned, his sentence was an injustice.

DC’s stronghold in video games has diminished in recent years, and a large part of its game’s failure goes to the studios behind it not being able to deliver good games at large scales.

Similarly, DC’s rival Marvel now has a lot of games that seem to be doing well in the market. Marvel has gone way ahead in this race than DC, and there is nothing much the latter can do about it now.

The first video games based on James Gunn's and Peter Safran's DC Universe are still years away from being revealed, but the co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios have revealed they are actively working with the various WB Games teams.

Speaking at a DC Studios presentation, the duo explained that they are working closely with the WB Games division, assisting studios like Mortal Kombat creator NetherRealm and Batman: Arkham developer Rocksteady on character design and story.

“We work incredibly closely with Jb Perrette [CEO and President, Global Streaming and Games], who runs that division, and it's really the first time it's ever been this way at Warner Brothers,” Safran explained. “James and I sit with literally the guys that run the studios underneath Jb, whether it's NetherRealm or whether it's Rocksteady, sit with them and talk about characters and stories that we're interested in and that they're interested in.”

DC appears to be going all in on Green Lanternas a new animated series, My Adventures with Green Lantern, was recently announced. After 2011's box office disaster Green Lantern, it seemed like Warner Bros. and DC Comics tried to downplay the various characters' importance, including omitting them from the Justice League roster in the Dceu. The 2020s look very Green Lantern-centric as Nathan Fillion will play Guy Gardner in Superman, with Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler set to play John Stewart and Hal Jordan incarnations of the Green Lantern in the Max series Lanterns. Now an animated version of the Green Lantern Jessica Cruz is on the way, but it will be connected to another popular Superman project outside of the Dcu.

Marvel Rivals has proven that hero shooters aren’t quite dead yet. But the biggest reason for its success isn’t its gameplay but rather the excellent execution of the Marvel IP. So is DC going to compete with this? DC Studios’ CEO James Gunn is certainly considering the possibility of a similar project from DC.

It might also be the perfect time for DC to start cooking something up because NetEase recently laid off a portion of its Seattle-based team and it’d be pretty cool if DC picked them up. Fans are wary after what happened with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and with NetEase’s success, the ball is firmly in DC’s court.

James Gunn,...

One of the interesting and relatively unknown characters set to make his big screen debut in James Gunn's Superman is "Mister Terrific." He first graced DC's pages in 1997's Spectre #54 (written by John Ostrander and illustrated by Tom Mandrake). On-screen, he will be played by Edi Gathegi and is supposed to be "the main character of those [other] characters [in the movie]."

Previously, he appeared live on the CW's Arrow (Echo Kellum) and had a few stints in animated projects, one was voiced by the Cosby-outing comedian Hannibal Burress. 

For Black History Month, it's important to celebrate Bipoc heroes and villains because the writers and artists didn't hold back when it came to creating diversity among the legion of characters. They have been given amazing powers--some cosmic, others mutant, and a few elite humans. Mister Terrific is the third smartest character in all DC lore, next to Lex Luthor and the Atom, Ray Palmer.

All-Star Superman writer Grant Morrison couldn’t understand Superman’s evil turn after Lois Lane’s death in Injustice. The comic storyline that ran from 2013 to 2016 saw Superman and Batman at odds after the former descended into complete villainy. After Joker’s evil plot ends in the death of a pregnant Lois Lane, the Man of Steel forms the totalitarian One Earth Regime to end all violence.

Batman doesn’t believe in Superman’s new League and builds an insurgency to fight back against the Regime. What follows is a violent conflict within the Justice League that has some costly outcomes, including the death of Green Arrow. Morrison believed that making Superman into an authoritarian figure was a huge mistake.

Warning: Spoilers for Batman and Robin #17Dc is dangerously close to repeating the same mistake it has made dozens of times before with Batman and Robin, and I am begging for it to stop. The dynamic duo are one of the most iconic elements of the DC Universe, but as of late, it feels like the characters are falling into old habits. I’m worried that the company will rehash an old storyline after the characters have just moved past it without making the choice feel justified.

Batman and Robin #17 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Javier Fernández, and Carmine Di Giandomenico features a moment where Bruce and Damian have an argument over the idea of Batman, with Damian even questioning if the vigilante life is worth it.

This moment, I fear, is emblematic of DC repeating the same, tired storyline of Bruce and Damian being at odds with one another that...

DC animated movies are not afraid to go dark. R-rated movies have been performing well and are appreciated by mature audiences around the world. Joker and Deadpool are perfect examples that set the precedent for more superhero-related projects to follow. It's always interesting to see fan-favorite characters going a step further than fans are used to seeing.

DC hasn't shied away from being gory and brutal in the animated universe. They never hold back with their R-rated movies, which care very little about being family-friendly, showing endless brutal kills from DC's heroes and villains alike. Superman goes on a brutal killing rampage in Injustice, while Batman faces the knife-wielding Jack the Ripper in Batman: Gotham by Gaslight.

Updated by Jordan Iacobucci on January 13, 2025: Unlike its brighter counterpart Marvel, DC isn't afraid to get into the nitty gritty with R-rated adaptations of some of the company's most popular comic book storylines.

David Corenswet's Dcu Superman stars in a sweet homage to the Man of Steel's earliest cartoons and James Gunn's upcoming Superman movie. Gunn's Superman takes inspiration from storylines such as Kingdom Come and All-Star Superman, as well as the Man of Steel's earliest comic book appearances. The Dcu's version of Superman seems to be aiming for a timeless portrayal of the character, with a somewhat retrofuturistic Metropolis informing his superhero career.

Illustrator and DC fan Dylan Odom shares a fan-made Superman animation on Instagram, starring David Corenswet's Superman as a 1940s cartoon version of the DC hero inspired by the famous 1940s Fleischer Superman animated shorts. The video shows Corenswet's Superman saving the little girl from the trailer, fighting the movie's mystery masked villain, and jumping from the Daily Planet's decorative globe.

Welcome one and all to the third, and possibly final, part of my theories regarding the potential for an Injustice 3 game!

For those who missed the previous two, I'll briefly explain what each one was about. The first part dealt with what the story of Injustice 3 could be about based on the good ending from Injustice 2, while the second part was my theories as to which group of heroes would make the best playable characters for an Injustice 3. Now, onto the part that excites me the most; who should be the main villain(s) of Injustice 3? In no particular order, read on to find out!

1. Darkseid

Darkseid is a name that has graced my articles in the recent past, and for good reason! The threat of Darkseid is so massive that it can spread throughout the DC Universe, and almost every character within DC has fought the ruler of Apokolips,...

There are many things that DC Comics fans are longing for, but a third Injustice video game is definitely on that list. It's something we've been discussing since completing Injustice 2 and, with that having come out in 2017, it's been some time indeed.

With that in mind, let's do some more theorizing, this time about which characters could appear in Injustice 3 if it happens. To be honest, there are so many DC characters that haven't been used in the Injustice games that it would be impossible to list them all, so let's look at some of the ones that I want to see the most and the ones that fans have been clamoring over for years. 

Magical characters

Let's begin by talking about the magical characters of the DC Universe, because most of them haven't received much attention in these games. While characters like Swamp Thing and Shazam were playable characters in the previous games,...

The Injustice franchise of video games and tie-in comics have received mixed reviews from fans and critics, specifically when it comes to the brutality of that version of Superman and his fall from grace as he evolved from hero to an evil tyrant. Despite many of these views, the Injustice universe has intrigued fans for over a decade at this point, and the last game, Injustice 2, came out all the way back in 2017, with no concrete news as to the fate of a Injustice 3 down the line.

However, it's always fun to just let the imagination run wild and theorize what a potential Injustice 3 storyline could look like. So, come with me through a world where some of our greatest heroes have become mankind's greatest enemies.

Injustice 2's two endings explained

Injustice 2 had two possible endings to the game's story campaign. After the defeat of Brainiac, the remaining heroes decide...

After starring as Green Arrow in Smallville, Justin Hartley went on to play Superman himself in DC's animated film Injustice. The movie will be streaming on Max starting Jan. 1.

Hartley takes on the lead role of the evil Clark Kent / Superman in Injustice, with Anson Mount starring opposite him as the voice of Batman. The animated movie is based on the prequel comic series of the NetherRealm Studios video game, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and is set in an alternate timeline from the main DC Universe. In the Injustice continuity, Superman descends into madness after The Joker tricks him into killing a pregnant Lois Lane and detonating a nuclear bomb that destroys all of Metropolis. Superman goes on to turn Earth into a police force, bent on enforcing "global peace", prompting Batman and other DC heroes to form an underground resistance.

Warning: Spoilers for Superwoman Special #1!One of DC's biggest surprises in 2024 is the reveal of Lois Lane as the new Superwoman, drastically shifting the balance of the Superman family. Not only that, but the team behind Superwoman Special #1 has thrown a few Easter eggs into Lois' story for longtime fans, turning the worst Superman video game ever made into a key part of Lois' superhero training.

Superwoman Special #1 by Joshua Williamson, Edwin Galamon, Laura Braga, Nikola Čižmešija, Rex Lokus, and Dave Sharpe reveals how Lois Lane mysteriously finds herself with her own set of Kryptonian superpowers after the events of Absolute Power by Mark Waid and Dan Mora. No longer forced to sit on the sidelines while the rest of her family saves the day, Lois enthusiastically practices her new powers courtesy of a lovely training montage co-starring Clark.

While Tom Hardys Bane is undeniably one of the most memorable villains in Christopher Nolans The Dark Knight Trilogy, many fans were left wanting more when it came to his mask, which didn't feature Banes iconic green-glowing super-steroid, Venom.

...this post serves as a powerful tribute to Bane across various mediums and interpretations...

Zak Boychuk, a fitness coach, stunt performer, actor, and bodybuilder, has unveiled one of the most hardcore Bane cosplays ever to grace the internet.

Throughout the history of the DC Universe, there have been many villain introductions that are considered particularly impressive. As the heroes and villains of DC comics rank among some of the most iconic figures in pop culture, there have been many movies and TV shows adapting them to the screen. The movies of the Dceu alone brought numerous villains to life in live-action, with many more having been adapted in unrelated TV shows and movies as well.

With some many excellent antagonists appearing, its only fitting that they receive appropriately impressive entrances. For example, the characters of the Arrowverse faced off against many fascinating adversaries, with especially memorable scenes introducing the DC villains to audiences. In both film and TV, there is a rich history of truly fascinating and fear-inspiring debuts for these characters, marking their importance in the world alongside the heroes of the DC Universe.

The CW's Superman & Lois just released the first episode of its fourth and final season. After an intense run, the beloved DC television series is preparing to say goodbye with an emotional goodbye, and Lex Luthor will be a big part of the series.

The CW's version of Lex Luthor in Superman & Lois is played by The Walking Dead's Michael Cudlitz. Speaking to ScreenRant ahead of the final season premiere, the actor recalled getting cast for the role, which he calls the "opportunity of a lifetime." The actor made his debut in the series in 2023 in Season 3, Episode 12, "Injustice," and he further appeared in the season finale. He will also reprise his character in the upcoming season.

Wonder Woman is perhaps the DC character most deserving of her own game. Batman and Superman have had their own games in the past, as well as Justice League and Injustice games, which feature a wider variety of heroes to play as.

There is a ton of potential for the Wonder Woman game. Swordplay, the in-depth world of DC, and the potential for the Lasso of Truths or Wonder Woman's bracelets make her a perfect candidate for a game. There are any number of genres the game could explore, most notably perhaps a fantasy RPG, or an action-adventure affair.

The world of DC, more specifically the world of Wonder Woman, is the perfect setting for an RPG or adventure game. Even just Themyscira is the perfect place to play host to a swordplay-based adventure.

Another big question surrounding the game is the when. Wonder Woman can take place anywhere from...

Gotham has some of the world's greatest fighters patrolling its streets, and Catwoman just proved she's among the A-list. Selina Kyle is currently helping Batman to fight against Amanda Waller's regime, with the pair going up against her new Suicide Squad 'dream team.' That leads Catwoman into battle with an antihero who can make gods cry.

As Absolute Power continues its grip on the DC Universe, Batman and Catwoman find themselves on the planet of Czarnia in Batman #152, by Chip Zdarsky and Mike Hawthorne, trying to retrieve Amanda Waller's Mother Box in an effort to win back the Earth for the heroes of DC. There, they come across Waller's Squad, including the Superman-level Bizarro and ultimate magic-user Black Alice.

Black Alice is a god-tier magic-user, able to steal the powers of any magical entity, from sorcerers like John Constantine and Doctor Fate to cosmic beings like the Spectre.

Without a doubt, Mortal Kombat has become one of the most disruptive and controversial franchises in the history of video games. It was first launched in the early 1990s, and its extreme violence and explicit visual content sparked backlash from the more conservative communities in the United States.

Years later, it has established itself as one of the most successful franchises in the industry and continues to produce new games regularly.

One of the masterminds behind this success is Ed Boon, who remains at the helm and whose cameos have appeared in various games in the series. Some players had only recently discovered these references and were surprised to find them.

Players Are Surprised to See Ed Boon Appear in Different Mortal Kombat Games

Despite the passage of over 30 years since the release of the first Mortal Kombat game, every new generation continues to explore the history of the saga.

Warning: Contains Potential Spoilers for DC Vs. Vampires: World War V #4!

One Gotham hero has just received the ultimate power upgrade by becoming DCs next Green Lantern in the sequel to the best-selling Elseworlds series, DC vs. Vampires. However, the question remains: how did this character become the next Emerald Knight, and does his new hero status owe anything to the atrocities committed by the vampiric Wonder Woman?

The Green Lantern role seems perfect for Alfred, aligning with his core trait of being an utter and total badass.

Looks like the Fgc wants Injustice 3. More than 7 years have passed since the release of the last title in this franchise, but it seems that with work on Mortal Kombat 1 complete by this year, NetherRealm Studios is ready to embark on their next big Aaa project.

In a new job listing on Warner’s official site, the studio is seeking an expert in cinematics, which could indicate a possible Injustice 3. Fans have been waiting for years for a new instalment of this title based on the DC Comics universe. This alternative universe has been one of the most praised regarding videogames and comics.

Fans Might Finally Receive the Long-Awaited Injustice 3 From NetherRealm Studios

With two entries under its belt—the second being far superior to the first by delving deeper into what happens to DC Comics characters in this alternate universe—the Injustice saga has become one of the most popular adaptations of these characters,...

DC's animated Justice League films follow various continuities, complicating viewing patterns beyond chronological order. Standalone films offer unique, non-shared universe stories featuring the Justice League with varied art styles and themes. The Tomorrowverse continuity ties into the Dcamu, making viewing all animated Justice League movies a more cohesive experience.

The DC Animated Universe has a rich filmography when it comes to the Justice League, necessitating a solid watch order to make sense of it all. DC's animated films are a consistent content output, and standing among them are some of DC's most faithful media. With a new animated Justice League film from DC having been put out at least once almost every year since 2010, it's easy to get lost in putting together the chronological order in which the films were released.

Warner Brother's live-action Dceu may be on the brink of a reboot, yet the universe's animated films have always had a strong identity.

Harley Quinn is a character that has garnered a lot of popularity and attention ever since her debut in Batman: The Animated Series, where she was introduced as the former "Harleen Quinzel" before she eventually abandoned that identity and became the Jokers sidekick (as well as his woefully unappreciated love interest). Harley has been featured in many DC Comics since then, such as the Injustice series and, most notably, the Suicide Squad franchise.

Suicide Squad Isekai, a Warner Bros. production based on the franchise, reimagines Harley Quinn into an anime character who travels into a fantasy world where she is no less crazy, combative, or clever than her previous counterparts. The already hit series does a wonderful job at bringing the beloved DC villain into the anime genre, making her into one of the best anime characters seen in 2024 thus far.

We all know who Superman is.

Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster in 1938, wasn't the first superhero character in modern media, but he tends to be held up as one of the genre's central archetypes. His red wrestler's cape and red strong man's trunks, paired with his super strength and ability to defy gravity, have all become central symbols of what a superhero is, how a superhero should behave, and what a superhero looks like. Hundreds of thousands of superheroes have been invented since 1938, but many of those produced by mainstream comics outlets like Marvel or DC owe Superman a direct debt. In the same way that every on-screen Dracula is a riff on Bela Lugosi's performance in Tod Browning's 1931 movie, Superman is either being enhanced or subverted by every comic book superhero character. But he is the mainstay.

Superman first made his way to the...

Sandy Cheeks takes center stage in Netflix’s new installment in the “SpongeBob SquarePants” universe, “Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie.” When the beloved residents of Bikini Bottom get snatched up and hauled off to Texas, Sandy and SpongeBob head out on an adventure to save the whole neighborhood.

Of course, the cast is full of familiar “SpongeBob SquarePants” voices, but the adventure also spends some time on the road with Sandy’s family and introduces some new — yet also familiar — names to the cast. So if you’re wondering who’s who in the new “SpongeBob” movie, here’s a handy guide to the “Sandy Cheeks Movie” cast and characters.

Speaking to The Direct at San Diego Comic-Con, renowned game director Ed Boon offered fans some hope regarding the potential release of Injustice 3. 

Developed by Boon's studio NetherRealm, the Mortal Kombat creator has ventured beyond his brutal fantasy universe in the last decade-plus, using his team's fighting game prowess to take a stab at the world of DC Comics. 

The fruits of these efforts have been the Injustice titles, a pair of fighting games from the beloved studio released in 2013 and 2017. However, more than seven years after the last entry into the franchise, fans are clamoring for more. 

Read full article on The Direct.

The Boys is a dark superhero show that cleverly parodies Marvel and DC giants in a satirical and bloody manner. Characters like Homelander, Queen Maeve, and Black Noir draw clear inspiration from Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman. The series takes aim at the superhero genre's family-friendly image with humor and twisted takes on well-known heroes.

The Boys stands as a phenomenal dark superhero show in its own right, but part of its charm is also that it is a parody of Marvel and DC superheroes gone bad. In the original comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys served as a bloody and grossly satirical take on the superhero genre, subverting long-established tropes and toying with readers' expectations. However, the story also took direct shots at the giants of the comic book world, Marvel and DC. Many of the biggest, most outrageous superheroes in The Boys are...

In recent times, layoffs have unfortunately become a common occurrence in the video games industry. Mortal Kombat‘s NetherRealm Studios is not an exception as it recently released quite a few employees, including its mobile division team in an attempt to restructure.

In a surprising turn of events, Injustice 2 is standing firm with its community and will continue to get support from the studio. However, this was not the case for Mortal Kombat: Onslaught as it announced that the game would be shut down in September.

Injustice 2 Stands Strong Amidst Mortal Kombat Onslaught’s Closure

The Mortal Kombat series has been the defining factor of the NetherRealm Studios for decades due to its engaging combat and iconic characters. In contrast, Injustice 2 has explored a different narrative, as it follows the DC Comics superheroes and villains packed in intense conflicting yet immersive world.

The game has been a success ever since...

Mortal Kombat and Injustice are franchises that people always seem to have an on-and-off relationship with. With some great and a few not-so-great titles, it feels that NetherRealm could never truly establish its footing properly within the Fgc and the larger gaming community.

Perhaps it is the by-product of the same that we’re witnessing today, as the studio’s shocking decision to shut down one of its most significant cash-cow subsidiaries has left fans wondering just what’s in store for this team’s future.

NetherRealm Studios Has Unceremoniously Shut Its Entire Mobile Team

It’s only been a few days since the people behind Mortal Kombat teased fans with a potential spin-off, assuring people that the franchise, and by extension, the studio’s future, is as bright as it gets.

The reality appears to be a little off, unfortunately, as many of NetherRealm Studio‘s mobile team folks...

As the hype for NetEase Games’ upcoming “superhero team-based PvP shooter” Marvel Rivals reaches a fever pitch, fans are already dreaming up more ways to immerse themselves in the game’s unique universe.

While the promise of epic multiplayer battles has everyone excited, there’s one thing that could take Marvel Rivals from a hit game to a true multimedia sensation: a tie-in comic series.

The Power of Tie-Ins

The idea of a Marvel Rivals comic might seem like a no-brainer, but it’s worth looking at the success stories that have come before. DC‘s Injustice series, which expanded upon the lore of the fighting game franchise, was a massive hit with fans, offering a glimpse into the characters’ motivations and the events that shaped the game’s alternate universe.

The lead on The Rookie is Nathan Fillion's John Nolan, but the show has truly become an ensemble series over the past six seasons. One of the most beloved characters is Melissa O'Neil's Lucy Chen, a rookie with Nolan who has become an accomplished officers, even working undercover. The best episodes of The Rookie with Lucy Chen are representative of all the different kinds of storytelling the show can pull off. Initially, Lucy Chen was romantically involved with John Nolan, but they broke it off (mostly) before the fifth episode.

Despite being one half of the fan favorite "Chenford" ship (the other half being Eric Winter's Tim Bradford), Lucy isn't just a romantic interest. She is a capable officer and survivor who, despite all she has endured, remains one of The Rookie's most compassionate characters. More often than not, Lucy has empathy for the suspects she encounters,...

Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1 is a brutal fighter with range attacks like laser eyes. Homelander's flight mechanic changes the game, allowing for new attack angles. Homelander fits perfectly into Mortal Kombat with gruesome fatalities and TV show references.

The third guest character introduced to Mortal Kombat 1, Homelander's inclusion in the fighting game franchise makes perfect sense. Hailing from the grisly Prime Video adaptation of The Boys, Homelander is a vain and lethal take on the Superman archetype. While even villainous versions of the Man of Steel seen in titles like Injustice and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League may be fearsome forces of nature, they're nothing compared to the Homelander's visceral presence.

This is reflected in his Mortal Kombat 1 incarnation, a brutal fighter who can deal out punishment from afar with his laser eyes and flight mechanics. Homelander works well as an addition to the Mortal Kombat 1 roster just from a gameplay perspective.

Superman may be colloquially known as "The Big Blue Boy Scout," but sometimes, he can be straight up villainous. Sure, he's saved Metropolis (and the world) more times than any individual can count, however, that doesn't excuse his moments of cruelty and authoritarian-brand of justice.

The most interesting aspect of Superman as a character derives from his immortality on Earth. Short of using Kryptonite, our measly human-made weapons never account for much damage against the Man of Steel. The only thing stopping Clark Kent/Superman from taking over the world or causing serious harm is his sense of righteousness.

While Supes, for the most part, doesn't allow his ego or greed to corrupt him, he's certainly made some questionable decisions across his nearly-90 year history. As we prepare for the cinematic return of Superman with James Gunn's "Superman: Legacy," let's remind ourselves that even our most morally straight hero falters.

Stephen Amell played the role of Oliver Queen a.k.a Arrow in the CW’s Arrow. The project spawned the Arrowverse which included shows such as The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl, among others. However, Amell’s Arrow was the one that started it all and has an enduring legacy as it introduced many DC characters to the mainstream.

While the show ended in 2020 after eight seasons, creator Marc Guggenheim reportedly had a different idea for the ending of the series. Guggenheim mentioned that while he always intended for Oliver Queen to die in the series, he wanted him to be a legendary presence, inspiring other vigilantes in the DC universe including Batman.
