DCTV SDCC 2015: Arrow Season 4 - A Season Under The Sign Of Change ! - moviepilot.com

We learned a lot during this San Diego Comic Con 2015 about the new challenges of our heroes next season !

Follow the event from France is a little hard - nine hours of jetlag - but I'm gonna try to do a three part article. One about Arrow, one about The Flash and a last one about Legends Of Tomorrow.

So, this DCTV panel has begun with Arrow and we got a lot of new informations. I'm gonna try to be fast and accurate with everything we learned.

New Costume

Stephen Amell stole the show during this panel and offered us a passionate speech with his "I am Oliver Queen " phrase as he was cosplaying his own character in a complete new suit !

This new costume seems to be a perfect mix between The Green Arrow of the new 52 and the more grounded atmosphere of the show. Still, as I was saying to someone on Twitter, I was expecting maybe a brighter color, a more green-y costume. I won't be judgemental, I'll wait to see Oliver in action with his new suit before giving my opinion.

During his speech, Oliver - that is - talked about saving STAR City NOT Starling as The Green Arrow ! Yes !

Also, Greg Berlanti talked about how the new suit will play into Oliver transformation: "This is the first real real step to that direction [becoming Green Arrow]."

New Relationships

The producers confirmed that the tone will be lighter t his season. "We'll get to have Oliver make some jokes in the lair, which is fun." said Wendy Mericle. "We'll get to see Oliver in relationship mode and happier in general."

Oliver and Felicity will have a new dynamic, we'll see how Oliver is working with someone is dating.

The fact that everyone know one another's secret we'll provide us new interactions between key characters like Malcolm and Felicity or Laurel and Thea.

A Bunch Of New Characters

Besides Damian Darhk, a lot of new DC characters are coming in Arrow Season 4, new villains and heroes.

Mister Terrific is joining Team Arrow ! The show will probably go with the most known version of the character, Michael Holt, the second Mister Terrific.

They des cribed him as a รข€œheavily recurring character of a twentysomething African American male who is a technological savant on par with Ms. Smoak."

There are two twist on the original comic character. First, he will be a good friend of Felicity and will also be gay. His association with Checkmate could come into play on the show, in any case I'd love to see that happening.

Holt is one of the most smartest people in the planet and will obviously be an excellent addition for Team Arrow.

Batman fans ! Anarky is also coming on the show ! They didn't say much about his character apart that he's a villain. If they stick to the comics, I could see him as a rival for Mister Terrific because of his superior intellect.

Also, Anarky could ultimatel y join the good side because he is not a complete villain. Still, they could change his story a bit for the show.

Also, Thea will officially be called Speedy !

Black Driver !

We got our first look at Diggle's new suit, well his new helmet !

It's a little blurred and only a concept-art but I like it. I wasn't expecting Diggle to go full superhero but it's really badass ! Marc Guggenheim said that it's only make sense because of Diggle's family. And hiding his true identity is a way of protecting them.

Paul Blackthorne also teased that we could see Diggle get a real costume in the future but nothing confirmed yet !

In any case, I have to say, I expect a lot of changes and I'm really, really exciting for this new season !
