Arrow isn’t back on the air until next week. But that doesn’t mean the CW can’t release promotional images: Here’s the Huntress!
So, is this the scene of a homicide? A date? Both?
This is actually interesting since, as we noted in the last liveblog, the Royal Flush Gang made mention of other vigilantes. However, we haven’t actually met one yet.
The Huntress is part of a larger arc in the series where Ollie takes Helena under his wing and has the bright idea of arming her, because handing somebody thirsting for revenge a weapon and the skills to use it is always an awesome idea. Apparently, the Huntress manages to touch off a mob war, which really was in the cards eventually, and Ollie has to contain the fallout.
But for those hoping the series would chuck realism out the window and keep the shiny bathing suit, bad news:
We like the grounded direction of the series, but on the other hand, this might be a bit too far. This looks like somebody just slapped a domino mask on and wore their usual winter clothes.
On the other hand, it’s not ridiculously skin-tight and is something you might actually wear to hunt mobster, bar the whole trenchcoat thing. Also, although you can’t see it, it is apparently a dark purple, so that’s a nice touch.
Arrow will be back November 28th.

First they take away this past week’s Once Upon a Time and now Arrow? *starts rocking self back and forth* I don’t know I can handle not having a week’s worth of shows to watch. What am I doing to do watch “Whose the Boss?” reruns? HUH? TELL ME DAMNIT! *sobs*
“Alphas” and “Misfits” are both pretty good.
You are very correct Dan the Man, sucks that Alphas is already done for year though
.
Isn’t the Huntress a Batman side-character? If so, does this confirm that Batman is one of the other vigilantes? Which leads me to my next question… WHERE IS VIBE?!?!?!
On DC Nation. No, seriously. They’re retconning his ass.
Worse yet, they’re giving him to Geoff Johns. Blech.
Also Dan can we somehow get Fox and WB to work together to make a Flash/Planet of the Apes Crossover starring Gorilla Grodd? I know you have an in with the studios.
I don’t know that having a restraining order is an “in”.
But it’s a great idea.
It actually sounds like a fairly accurate Huntress origin.
That’s not Huntress. There’s not enough skin.
*goes back to photoshopping comic covers*
So far, she doesn’t look like the Huntress at all. “On the other hand, it’s not ridiculously skin-tight and is something you might actually wear to hunt mobster, bar the whole trenchcoat thing.”. Really? Isn’t it much easier to do all that fighting if the clothing doesn’t get in the way? They need to work on that. Or is the problem that Jessica de Gouw will have difficulties showing off the buff body that a tight suit would have to reveal? Perhaps the promoa images are not great and they are stills getting closer to, say, the wikipedia version. [en.wikipedia.org]
