Stephen Amell Teases The Appearance Of Black Canary And More In ARROW

Check out what the actor who will bring Oliver Queen/Green Arrow to the small screen in this Fall's Arrow had to say when asked about the possible appearance of other DC characters (including the chances of Katie Cassidy taking on the Black Canary persona).

"Stay tuned," Stephen Amell told IGN TV when asked whether or not fans should expect to see any other DC Comics characters popping up in Arrow when it debuts on the CW later this year. "I know that the people that are working on the show, they love comics. I know that Geoff Johns from DC Comics -- he’s a great guy -- he was up there [on set]. I think that he’s going to write an episode eventually. It would be unfortunate if, being a comic book show, we didn’t draw from all the characters in the DC Universe. I hope we do."

Of course, Katie Cassidy's Dinah Lance is best known to comic book readers as the heroic Black Canary, so what are the chances we'll be seeing the former Supernatural star suiting up as the Birds of Prey leader in Arrow? "I don’t know," the actor disappointingly admitted when pressed on whether or not she'll don the fishnets at some point. "I hope that Katie eventually -- fishnets or otherwise -- she deserves to be a superhero at some point." Who would you like to see make an appearance in the show? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

This show has a bright, wide future. Expect a lot of characters from the DC universe. Smallville/Clark Kent cameo?! I hope

She is my 2nd favorite DC hero.
Give her the fishnets. PLEASE. I would LOVE to see Katie wear the blonde wig and the sexy black leather, with the fishnets!

I take it this will be the Black Canary without the Canary Cry.

"It's time for WB to showcase the best female heroes. DC owns Marvel/any other company in female superheroes department."

Umm...being a fan of DC and Marvel, I would have to disagree with that statement.

I hope Geoff Johns writes some episodes for Arrow. His Smallville episodes were fantastic!

And Katie Cassidy has to become Black Canary on the show:

Geoff Johns f%#ked up with Green Lantern.

Stay out of it Johns... stick to writing comics and let the pros deal with movies and TV shows.

Let's see Green Arrow and Black Canary appeared 1941/1947 respectively in DC Comics, Hawkeye and Black Widow appeared in Marvel Comics in 1964 so who ripped off whom? Anyway I hope they don't do what they did with Smallville introduce us to characters then later use them again with different actors keep some semblance of order

I hope to the comic gods they don't make her Black Canary. You know she'll be a pansy watered down version. They can't have a supporting character that can beat the shit out of a the main character. Especially if it's a love interest.

"she deserves to be a superhero at some point."

But she's not gonna be a super-hero on this show. no super-strength, no sonic voice = no canary! Are they gonna make her a normal person who wears fishnets and fights crime? Because that would be weird...and stupid

She needs to be Canary and they need to have superpowered characters. It'll be such a waste if they ignore such big parts of GA's life.

Yay, a powerless Black Canary, who I hear will just be called: Canary. Has this show been cancelled yet?

Well I'm thinking she may not have the powere but will have the fighting skills. She DID lose her powers for a while in the comics which promted her to improve her fighting even more so. So if we're going with a non-powers world, then a non-powerd ass kicking Black Canary would rock.

As for guests I want Question (Vic Or Renee), Shado, and a Cameo by a young Roy.

Villains I want to see Prometheus, Onomatopoeia, Brick (as a big musclar and highly resistant to injury crime lord), Clock King, and Count Vertigo
