When CW's Arrow first came out the word was a bit ambiguous but after the 2nd season word was that Arrow was getting stronger. After binge-watching the 2nd season all the way though I had discovered that Arrow was well written and choreographed for a show based on a comic book hero. I was excited and enjoyed watching the show's protagonist Oliver Queen dispense justice and revenge week after week. As his task became tougher and more wide-spread his backup crew grew in size from his chauffeur and personal IT assistant to a street-wise kid who ends up dating his sister. So where do you go from there? You kill his mother set his city on fire before his sister runs off with her psychotic father as Oliver fights against the ultimate warrior in Deathstroke the Terminator.
So how did they start the third season off? They killed Diana's younger sister who was an assassin trained by Ra's Al'Ghul and the League of Assassins. With the League of Assassins proclaiming that they be handed the murder before too long or they would tear the city apart. So when did Ra's Al'Ghul become Oliver Queen's archnemesis? Wasn't he supposed to be one of Batman's ultimate villains? In the interest of making the Arrow a more compelling character the bigwigs at the CW and DC decided to expand the Arrow's repertoire of baddies and of course with the League of Assassins there is plenty of fodder to go around. Of course there are other obvious questions that need to be answered and the most obvious being does every villain in Starling City have to use a bow and arrow just as the vigilante and his protege utilize? With all the world of array of weapons every third villain has to use the same bow and arrow. Can we see them use something else? Anything else? Now that we've seen the emergence of the Atom can we see him actually use his shrinking ability or are they just going to keep having him fly around as their version of Tony Stark and Iron Man? With the season drawing to an end what will happen?
