We know that Arrow and The Flash will be crossing over this year before their respective mid-season finales, but the worlds of Oliver Queen and Barry Allen will continue to clash as characters from each series jump between Starling City and Central City. TV Line reveals that Robert Knepper will reprise the role of William Tockman (better known to comic book fans as The Clock King) in episode 7 of The Flash, but he won't be alone! "We wanted to give Barry a real challenge… TWO bad guys!" executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told the site, adding that Barry will be "fighting both a new enemy and one of our scariest and most successful Arrow villains in The Clock King." There's no word on who that villain will be as of right now. What do you guys think?

@Kinghulk

That was Shrapnel, the bomb guy who was also Simon Tam in Firefly.

Kinda ironic as well that the bomb guy literally blew up...

Think Barry will have some sort of time altering powers or not yet?
kinghulk
kinghulk - 8/7/2014, 2:32 PM
alphaanddecima- to be fair neither shrapnel or the clock king where big villians, especially when compared to bronze tiger, china white, malcom merlyn, nyssa, slade, solomon grundy ...........
supes123
supes123 - 8/7/2014, 2:34 PM
was it rumored that oded fehr is playing ras
kinghulk
kinghulk - 8/7/2014, 2:34 PM
supes123- really that would be awesome if he is ras
McGee

Any minute now...some idiot who doesn't know anything about the comics, will make a criticism that they're using Batman villains--even though Clock King is traditionally a Green Arrow villain.
supes123
supes123 - 8/7/2014, 2:37 PM
kinghulk

yeah it would be, i think there was an article before claiming he was rumored to play him and this was a few months ago before even release ras was going to be the big villain this season

Proof?


Why would anyone need proof that Arrow and Flash are in the same universe?


It's hardly a secret.

He was one of the most awesome and great villains in "Arrow"!
Klone

English-Arab/North African (e.g. Sudanese, Egyptian, etc.) for Ra's Al Ghul. If they dare cast a white man in the role I will be pissed off.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939

He's being facetious, in reference to McGee's comment.

Sweet! Loved his take on the character. Maybe Riddler could show up in Arrow. He's been a GA villain before.

Oh lol. Didn't notice McGee's comment
