Arrow

It’s getting to be that time of year, and The CW is going all-in with its formal renewals. Good news has arrived for fans of Black Lightning, Arrow, Flash, Riverdale, Supernatural and more, but who got left in the post-apocalyptic cold?

Black Lightning is exactly the jolt of reality the TV superhero genre needed – a jaded, vulnerable hero at a time ugly divisions of the past have come roaring back. Our pilot review, and a look at what’s to come.

If Game of Thrones skipping 2018 has one advantage, it’s that next year will finally bring us a new king of TorrentFreak’s most-pirated TV. It totally won 2017, of course, but a few new additions like Rick and Morty or demotions for Arrow might make this a very different list going forward.

Arrow fans were delighted when Manu Bennett reprised his role as Slade Wilson for the fifth and sixth seasons, Deathstroke costume and all. Sadly, that last two-parter may have to tide us over awhile, as Arrow bosses confirm DC once again rescinded access to the character.

Late Friday saw Supergirl and Flash fans taken aback with word that producer Andrew Kreisberg had his own streak of sexual harassment. That put the stars in a difficult position, but Melissa Benoist herself has now spoken up about “refusing to accept an environment that is anything less than a safe, respectful and collaborative space,” as have other Arrow cast.

Arrow may finally give us the Bat-crossover we’ve dreamed of, as Season 6’s “Tribute” shocked us all with an official name-drop of Bruce Wayne himself. An actual Batman appearance is tricky, but does The Dark Knight actually occupy the Arrow-verse? We look at all the evidence from Arrow, Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow alike.

Jury’s out on whether Matt Ryan’s Constantine will ever return to live-action, but our favorite demon-hunting detective has nonetheless found new life. See for yourself in a first look at the CW Seed animated series, now set for a 2018 premiere.

Just when you thought the end of Game of Thrones Season 7 might cut you a break from must-see shows, in swoops fall TV with dozens upon dozens of new and returning TV series; enough to drive your DVR to self-immolation. Join us for a sneak peek!

The field is wide-open for Arrow Season 6, as the CW DC drama moves away from its five-year flashbacks and picks up from a deadly cliffhanger. Now, Comic-Con 2017 reveals a Deathstroke-heavy trailer, as LOST alum Michael Emerson joins in a major role.

Arrow Season 6 has more immediate concerns than whatever new mission Oliver picks up after a five-year crusade, but questions remain if the CW drama will more closely resemble its comic roots. Specifically, will Oliver Queen finally make good on that facial hair Stephen Amell has been dreading?
