ARROW: Character Description For Season 3's Big Bad - 'Ra's Al Ghul'
A detailed character casting description from Season 3 of Batman-lite aka Arrow has been uncovered revealing details about this upcoming season's big bad, Ra's al Ghul, and from the looks of it, we might see him much sooner than we initially thought. Come check it out!
CW's Arrow has already given us the Dark Archer (John Barrowman) and Deathstroke (Manu Bennett) as major villains for Season 1 and Season 2 respectively and next season the stakes get even higher when Ra's al Ghul comes to town.
You may want to take this news with a grain of salt, but a detailed character description for the casting of the iconic character has been posted on Reddit revealing a few key details of what we might be able to expect to see in the fall. The description is said to come from a breakdown of Episode 4, which is currently shooting and was revealed to be titled "The Magician" a few short days ago. Even though it's a bit of a stretch, could the Demon's Head be the aforementioned magician? You can check out his character description below:
Should we expect someone similiar to Tom Hardy's Bane? This episode will be the show's 50th, so having Ra's al Ghul appear to commemorate the occasion seems plausible. What do you guys think? It's obviously a good move for the show, but is Arrow becoming more and more like Batman-lite? Sound off with your thoughts below!
In the aftermath of this victory, Season 3 opens with Arrow now a hero to the citizens of Starling. Crime is down, people feel safer, and Captain Lance even calls off the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. Basking in his success, Oliver believes he can finally have a private life and asks Felicity out on a date. But the second Oliver takes his eye off the ball, a deadly villain reappears in Starling, forcing Oliver to realize that he can never be Oliver Queen — not as long as the city needs The Arrow.
