SPARTACUS' Katrina Law To Play 'Nyssa al Ghul' In Season Two Of ARROW

This season of Arrow just gets better and better, but despite a recent mention of 'Ra's Al Ghul', are Batman characters still off limits for the CW series? Nyssa al Ghul is coming! Check it out!

We know that "The Daughter Of Ra's Al Ghul" is on her way to Starling City to bring Black Canary back to The League of Assassins, but it has now been revealed by TV Guide that it won't be Talia! Instead, Spartacus and Chuck actress Katrina Law has been cast in the role of Ra's' other daughter; Nyssa al Ghul. While she hasn't been seen in the pages of the comic books for a while, the character played a similar role to Talia - who was recently portrayed by Marion Cotillard in The Dark Knight Rises - alongside her father in the League of Assassins. What this decision leads us to wonder is whether this is a sign that all major Batman characters are still off limits to the producers of Arrow. On the other hand, they could just be using Nyssa to differentiate this take on the League from the one seen in Christopher Nolan's recent Bat-movie! What do you guys think?

I didn't realize Ra's had another daughter. Unless its a ruse and she's Talia (which would be lameee). I hope she has a good role and her sister/father are mentioned.

Ra's has already been mentioned several times.

She was pretty awesome on Spartacus. I'm so excited that these actors are getting more time in the spotlight. the writers and casting directors must've been huge fans of Spartacus since they have had 3 actors on Arrow so far.

More Spartacus actors/actresses on Arrow? Yes please! Now if only the CW allow their women to show off a bit more skin lol... :P

Manu Bennet, Crixus in Spartacus, is Slade Wilson/Deathstroke.

Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Naveia in Spartacus, is Amanda Waller.

Now Katrina Law, who was Mira in Spartacus, will be Nyssa al Ghul.

I wonder which other Spartacus actor will they pick up? Dustin Clare (Gannicus)? Peter Mensah (Oenomaus)? LIAM MCINTYRE (SPARTACUS)?

DC villains just like Marvel villains always cross over and interact with other heroes,no big deal.the show wouldn't last long with exclusively focusing on a Rogues gallery of Green Arrow villains...

Talia is not the only child of Ra's. She is simply his favorite. He has had plenty of sons and daughters. Nyssa is actually from the comic. She and Talia warred when her father "died".

Make sense Nyssa really hated her father Ra's and wanted to take over the League of Assassin's.So this might explain the two big bad this season Ra's League of Shadows and maybe Nyssa's break away group of assassin's in a three way fight for Starling city.

BboiBlack- Watch this. SHIELD is more of a comedy show, Arrow is amazing.

Tonight's SHIELD just talked about everything that happened in Thor: TDW, and the plot was about an Asgardian on Earth, Thor wasn't on the show.

I'd say 70% of the users here have never read more than the usual (popular) comic books from a few characters.

Kinda liking this new idea of brining in Ra's other daughter instead of just goin for the default Talia :D

If they end up casting Liam McIntyre who could he be?

I'd like Dustin Clare to be Aquaman though.

Apparently episode 13 will be her debut and it's titled "Heir to the Demon"... Intriguing, yes?...

She was good on Spartacus, so I guess I'm happy with this. I didn't know that Ra's had another daughter either, but that's okay, the show's writers have proven competent, I'm sure they have a good story for Nyssa.

Nyssa Al Ghul. ...Talia???

Katrina Law was my pick for Wonder Woman in my ideal DC cinematic universe.

And Liam McIntyre SHOULD HAVE BEEN Bruce Wayne opposite Henry Cavill...

I hav heard about Nyssa but never hav i read about her in the in the recent 2000 comics.. It's really a good touch by Arrow to introduce her in the show n to the younger DC fans.. The only difference I find between her n Talia is talia's love interest over Bruce Wayan.

Not familiar with the actress, and I've heard of Nyass Al Ghul before, but I've never really read any stories involving her; this should be interesting none the less. If Ra's and Talia and other major Batman characters are banned from Arrow that does suck, but it does make sense. They're obviously not going to put any villains that might actually appear in the Batfleck films on Arrow, whether or not it's considered DCCU canon. All I do know is Arrow has been fantastic this season, and I'm excited for the rest of the season with or without Ra's and Talia. SN: I actually wouldn't mind seeing Ra's and Talia in a Batman film again if they were portrayed closer to their comic counterparts (Ra's is thousands of years old via the Lazarus Pit, Talia & Ra's are actually seen together as opposed to separate films, she is really in love with Bruce not just acting, etc.)

Sounds cool i guess. I'll be interested to see what they do with the character.
