Over the past two seasons, Arrow has slowly been building up a pantheon of TV versions of some of DC’s most famous comic book heroes and villains*. And in the rest of the second season, it looks from this trailer like they’re all coming back. I spotted Green Arrow (obviously), Black Canary, Huntress, Amanda Waller and her Suicide Squad (including Deadshot and Bronze Tiger), Deathstroke, Sebastian Blood and Speedy. No sign of Malcolm Merlyn (aka the Dark Archer), who’s already reappeared this season, or China White, though.
* Admittedly, none of the ‘biggies’, such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Joker et al

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
