The Promise

This week on Arrow, we had a lot of very self-contained material, and so our typical “DC Comics references and Easter eggs” story is probably not quite as factual as it usually is.What we will give you, though, is a few obvious ones, mixed with some speculation.Why? Because tonight saw the introduction of two new characters who seem as though they’ll be at least recurring, if not regular, for the rest of the season and possibly next year.We’ll start with these guys, and make it clear that they are probably new characters, original to Arrow, but it’s fun to speculate who the characters might evolve into, if they were to do so.And, yeah, we’ll skip over the fact that Ivo is a villain from the comics, Slade Wilson is a villain from the comics and The Amazo (the name of Ivo’s freighter) is the name of best-known creation. Those have all been covered before.
