With Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) earning the trust of Ra's al Ghul, looks like the show will have a new villain.
The CW Network series will indeed get a new one and according to recent "Arrow" season 3 episode guide, the Emerald Archer will meet a new big bad during the finale but details regarding this new character are still blurry. What's more intriguing is that some people are connecting him to the Dark Knight himself.
A fan asked TV Line's Michael Ausiello for more "Arrow" season 3 episode guide/scoop and his answer will definitely pump up Batman fans.
"The show's season 3 finale will introduce a major, formidable, fierce new foe for Oliver, and his reign of terror will continue well into Season 4," Ausiello wrote. "The mysterious character is being referred to internally as "Damian Dark," which got Matt Mitovich and I (but mostly MM) pulling up and skimming the Wiki page of one Damian Wayne."
"Get it? Damian Wayne. Son of the Dark Knight. They'd probably have to tweak the Bruce Wayne connection, but it's a plausible theory, no?"
Turned out, the writer was just trying to hype up "Arrow" fans. He just misspelled the name of the new big bad of the "Arrow" season 3 finale. Ausiello updated his post. The right name (and spelling) of the new villain's name is Damien Darkh, a DC character appeared in the comics that is member of the H.I.V.E. or Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Extermination.
H.I.V.E. is connected to some characters in the CW Network show. Deathstroke (Manu Bennet) was hired by the organization in its first incarnation. The organization was also first mentioned in the sixth episode of the second season of "Arrow" by Deadshot who revealed that he was hired by H.I.V.E to kill John Diggle's brother.
"Arrow" will return on March 18 for its 16th episode titled "The Offer." Official "Arrow" season 3 episode guide reads below:
"Still weighed down by his last meeting with Ra's al Ghul (Matt Nable), Oliver returns home to find a new villain and his crew have started terrorizing Starling City - Michael Amar AKA Murmur ( Adrian Glynn McMorran), a man whose mouth has been sewn shut. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and Nyssa (Katrina Law) bond over their issues with their fathers and Nyssa make Laurel an offer. Thea (Willa Holland) is forced to come to terms with her father after Oliver brings Malcom (John Barrowman) to the loft to recover, and Lance (Paul Blackthorne) shuts out both Laurel and the Arrow."
