If you're of a certain age, chances are high that the 1982 fantasy film, The Beastmaster, has a special place in your heart.  If this is you, the news that actor Marc Singer has joined the cast of The CW's Arrow will surely make your day.  Singer will be portraying  General Matthew Shrieve, known in the pages of DC Comics as the commanding officer of The Creature Commandos - a werewolf, a vampire, Frankenstein's monster and a gorgon.    CBR reports:

In the DC Comics, Matthew Shrieve is the leader of a group known as the Creature Commandos. In 'Arrow' he will play a significant role in the latter portion of the season's flashback storyline.

Does Shrieve's presence herald that The Creature Commandos are not far behind? Probably not, given the show's endeavors to remain as realistic as possible. Still, with Arrow seemingly heading towards Ra's Al Ghul's Lazarus Pit, perhaps Arrow is adapting a more supernatural-friendly policy?

Arrow returns from its Season 3 hitaus on January 21.

I remember watching the tv show back in the day barely remember anything about it except he had a bone staff/sword thing that later could turn into a real sword if I remember correctly.

You also forgot the G.I. Robot, from Creature Commandos. As for this news, it's cool. I so wish WB would make a Creature Commandos movie. I would prefer to see it taking place in WW2, like how the original one was.

Didn't the Arrow say something like: "You wouldn't believe what I have seen." In a later episode?

Hell yeah, The Beastmaster has a special place in my heart. Who could forget Roo, the lil ferrets, and the hawk? Not to mention JJ's daddy is in it, too. Dyno-mite, man.

It will be interesting to see how Roy handles things at Q-Core.

Anyone else forgetting that Singer is a veteran of the DC Animated Universe? He was the very first Batman foe in Batman: The Animated Series--Kirk Langstom, aka Man-Bat!
