DC's LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Will Introduce 'Connor Hawke'

Following the recent hint about a new character taking the mantle of "a missing hero who once stood for justice and hope,” it's been confirmed that this will indeed be Ollie Queen's comic book offspring, Connor Hawke - except this version won't actually be his son! More past the jump...

A while ago, TV Line reported that DC's Legends Of Tomorrow was casting an "African-American or bi-racial male who decides to put on the uniform of a missing hero who once stood for justice and hope.” Fans speculated that this might be Connor Hawke (son of Oliver Queen and Sandra Hawke, his college girlfriend) and Comicbook.com has managed to confirm that is indeed who it'll be... but with one pretty big twist.

According to them, this incarnation of the character "will not be the son of Oliver Queen and Sandra Hawke."

So who will he be? Well, taking into account the CW's other DC shows have recently introduced time travel elements and alternate realities, with characters coming in from Earth 2 on The Flash for example, there's a very good chance this Connor will actually be another version of Green Arrow (he has worn the mantle, and that of Red Arrow in the comics) or maybe even Ollie's son from the future.

What do you guys think? Legends of Tomorrow debuts on the CW in 2016.

LMAO nobody cares about Connor Hawke. You can change him into an anthropomorphic octopus and nobody would care.

He's not gonna be Ollie's son because for some stupid reason they essentially already did Connor's origin on Arrow, but made him and his mom white. They had a character who got knocked up by Ollie and gave birth to an illegitimate son.

I don't care about Connor Hawke at all... But I am sick and tired of the stupid pointless changes.
They just need to create new characters that suit their specific needs. But completely changing a character and then just stamping on a known name is stupid an its pandering

seems like a bit of a waste of all of the build up for Oliver to have an actual kid.

So something to do with Arrow or not to do with arrow? Way to kill my wood for this show.

"Gee, Could it be Diggle's baby?" No, stop taking crazy pills. And what does this article have to do with racial retconning? Connor Hawke, who had a stint as both Green and Red Arrow, WAS mixed race.

" I am so sick of the racial Retconning of making white's black! "

Connor IS black.

All you people who are mad that conner is going to be black. HE IS ALREADY PART BLACK IN THE COMICS. Please stop embarrising yourself and read a comic. I heard no one complaining when they changed brick from a black guy to a white guy.

I personally would have preferred Mia Dearden instead. Hopefully seeing as Connor will be joining the show Cissie King-Jones will be next.

If CH was introduced as Oliver's son now....he would be...maybe 7/8 year old kid....as OQ is still young....so wouldn't make sense...

Was about to say, wait, what? How is he bi-racial when both his parents in the show are white. I am okay with it not being his son.
