ARROW NEWS:
- Action-Packed Arrow Trailer Leaves Star City Ripe for a
Takeover (Date: 17 Jan 2018)
- The trailer opens with a major, if not surprising, reveal:
James is now in control of the city’s entire infrastructure, which
enables him to shut down all forms of communication. In the promo,
Dinah Drake, Curtis Holt and Rene Ramirez go on to form their own
super team. However, this quickly leads to strife with Oliver’s
original team, who stands by his side. In addition to fighting
James’ team, Oliver will ultimately come to blows with his former
recruits. The teaser also contains a few other surprising reveals,
such as Oliver’s daring rescue of his son William and William’s
trip to the bunker.

- CW boss 'optimistic' that Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, and Legends
will return (Date: 07 Jan 2018)
- Network president Mark Pedowitz is “optimistic” that Arrow, The
Flash, Supergirl, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will return next
season, he told EW at the Television Critics Association’s winter
press tour Sunday. “At the moment, it’s a little too soon. We’re
noted for announcing at winter TCA that we’re picking up shows, we
just weren’t ready to do that yet. A couple more weeks [and] we’ll
probably get around to it. I’m pretty confident we’ll see them all
back.”

- Could The Huntress Return?(Date: 19 Jan 2018)
- When Oliver asked why Jerry couldn't just ask his cousin,
Helena Bertinelli/Huntress (Jessica De Gouw) for help, Jerry
remarked that she'd "gone underground."
"I want to say, 'Absolutely,'" executive producer Marc Guggenheim
said about
Huntress' potential return. "Jessica De Gouw has expressed an
absolute willingness to come back. Jessica’s a favorite actor of
mine, and the Huntress is a favorite
character of mine. I want to make it happen in Season 6. We’ve got
some plans for the later half of the year that I think she will fit
into really well, so we’ll see."

GENERAL DC NEWS:
- Legends of Tomorrow adds Keiynan Lonsdale as series regular
(Date: 19 Jan 2018)
- Welcome to the Waverider, Kid Flash! Following the departure of
Franz Drameh and Victor Garber, Keiynan Lonsdale has joined the
cast of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow as a series regular, EW has
learned. Executive producer Phil Klemmer said in a statement, “We
loved working with Keiynan in our series premiere — the episode in
which we learned that in between seasons 2 and 3 he had been
fighting crime in Central City with Nick Zano’s Nate Heywood. So
when his character stepped away from Flash to go on walkabout,
after being dumped and feeling somewhat estranged from his family
and team, we knew that Wally West would fit in perfectly on
Legends. After all, our show is about a collection of unlikely
heroes who all began their journeys questioning who they are and
where they belong — only to find those answers while traveling
through time and having wacky adventures. So now, Wally West is not
only back in the company of old friends from the Arrowverse, he’s
fighting alongside a former enemy and career arsonist Mick Rory/Dom
Purcell. By the end of this season, Wally will learn that the
Legends have a different definition of what it means to be a
hero.”

- The Flash: Elongated Man’s Super Costume Revealed in New Photo
(Date: 17 Jan 2018)
- In the photo, Dibney sports a burgundy jacket with white
accents. The jacket has a gauge on the left shoulder, not unlike
the one worn by Firestorm. He also wears a pair of goggles, with
black eye makeup underneath to obscure his face so that he won’t be
easily recognizable. The costume is likely of Cisco’s design, since
it will have to stretch and conform to Dibney’s metahuman
abilities.

Arrow Cast and Crew Interviews:
- Arrow’s Echo Kellum Reveals Why the Stakes Are Higher Than Ever
Before (Date: 18 Jan 2018)
- Speaking to CBR, Mr. Terrific himself Echo Kellum offered some
insight into how Team Arrow’s big split will affect his character
moving forward. Fortunately for fans, the divide won’t impact
Curtis’ happy-go-lucky attitude, though it will bring a lot of
conflict into his relationship with his business partner Felicity
Smoak. Kellum also teased his favorite scene from the midseason
premiere, shared his hopes for Curtis’ love life and explained why
Cayden James’ supervillain team will raise the stakes like never
before.
- https://www.cbr.com/arrow-echo-kellum-divided-interview/
- Arrow's Echo Kellum Talks The Importance of Black Superheroes
(Date: 18 Jan 2018)
- "I think for myself and for Curtis, it is something we're both
very proud of," Kellum told ComicBook.com. "I'm so proud and I feel
so fortunate to get to portray a hero like this, an inclusive hero,
you know, part of the LGBT community, a person of color who's a
person of, you know, endless optimism and positivity. And it's a
role that I love to play and as far as Curtis, I know he takes a
lot of pride in that, too, you know? "I personally, I feel like,
you know, what a time to be alive where, you know, I get to see so
many people, I can be on TV, I get to portray that," he said. "I
get to help people of color, people of the LGBTQIA community so
like they can do it too. And for me, that was so important growing
up”
