During the New York Comic-Con event, IGN managed to conduct this interview with Arrow executive producer, Marc Guggenheim, in which he discusses the series' "grounded" approach by comparing it to Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight saga. He also talks about iconic characters such as Deathstroke and the Huntress - specifically, the latter's dynamics with Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen - and the possibility for the supporting characters to evolve, as well as John Barrowman's mysterious character, who is still only known as the "Well-dressed man," up to this point. Of course, Guggenheim strictly keeps the true identity of the character a secret, but he does promise that the character's appearance is like "a stone thrown into a pond," and that he will cause ripple effects to the whole series...

I'm honestly wondering if Barrowman will actually end up playing Bruce Wayne.

Be honest ... This show is so awesome. Like a Dark Knight series. In the same quality. Deathstroke will be fantastic im sure and Barrowman.. so "LET THE SPECULATION BEGINS!"

Guggenheim's description of Barrowman's character sounds like it could be Max Lord. Arrow is throwing a lot of DC characters into the mix.

The show is looking like its a reverse-Lost with flashbacks that take place on the island. As for John Barrowman as it was stated above: Count Vertigo or Maxwell Lord.
