After just 2 episodes, CW's Arrow is a certified hit and has won over the majority of skeptics and naysayers. If, you've been following the coverage on the site you're well aware that we've only scratched the surface so far in what's still to come. We have Deadshot debuting tonight at 8pm on the CW, Deathstroke, The Royal Flush Gang, Firefly and many more intriguing possibilities and characters to see before the season wraps. One such character, Helena Bertinelli aka Huntress will be making her debut in episode 6.
"People love their comic books. It has already got such a support and a strong foundation and you know people are going to watch it. [The show] is more dark and gritty and is kind of more along the lines of
Christopher Nolan's Batman. She's kind of like the female version of Arrow in that they're vigilantes with a vendetta to see through, but then they come up against each other because he thinks that she is ruled by emotion and revenge. You audition for so much, it's constant, and to get one that you like and you like the story, you like the character and where the writing is so incredible is just such a gift because it makes it so easy because I don't have to work it's just fun."
An interesting description of the dynamic between Huntress and Green Arrow as so far, you could easily say that 'emotion and revenge' are governing Oliver's actions as well. Could Oliver's motivation for vigilantism change between now and episode 6? And don't forget, The Royal Flush Gang will also be turning up in episode 6 as well.
