Trailer Time: Arrow Season 3 Trailer #2; PLUS Ra’s al Ghul Has Been Cast

While Arrow battles it out atop the “What’s the Best Show on TV?” poll, the series has released a new trailer for the show’s third season.  We all knew, after hearing rumblings during the first two seasons, that one day Ra’s al Ghul was coming to Starling City.  Liam Neeson, who portrayed the villain in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy, said last week that he would have been willing to reprise the character in a heartbeat.  So Arrow producers went and cast former professional rugby player Matt Nable (he also was in Riddick….so there’s that).  You know what?  At this point, Arrow has so earned my trust that I’m going to go along with it even though seeing Neeson as Ghul again would have been a geeky dream come true.  Look for al Ghul to make his first appearance in the season’s third episode.  Arrow returns to the CW on October 8th.Ra's al Ghul, Arrow, Matt Nable

  1. Neeson owned Ghul, but if Heath Ledger taught us anything by totally surpassing Nicholson, it’s that these characters are durable and open to interpretation. Still, there are lots of villains, and I have to wonder why the usual suspects keep turning up. I’m hoping this will all change with the ten thousand DC movies planned for the next five years.

    1. In the case of Arrow, they’ve been building to Ra’s for two years now, so he’s not going to be a pop-in villain; most likely he’s the season’s “big bad”. They’ve drawn connections between the League of Assassins and Black Canary and slowly built to this, so – especially since Green Arrow doesn’t have the greatest rogues gallery, it feels like a really good fit.
