Arrow: League of Assassins: DC Comics References and Questions Raised

Because of the action-packed nature of this week’s Arrow episode, titled “League of Assassins”–and because of the fact that much of the episode was spent paying off teases from previous episodes, there weren’t quite as many DC references as there have been in recent episodes.Or, at least we didn’t catch them. Let us know if we missed some in the comments!Nanda ParbatThis isn’t the first time that Nanda Parbat has been referenced, but it is the first time it’s been revealed as a training ground for the League of Assassins. A notable DC Comics locale for characters as varied as Deadman, The Question and Batman, Nanda Parbat is a kind of mystical city, arguably best known in recent times for its part in the Grant Morrison story “The Resurrection of Ra’s al Ghul.”Well, that’s not at all telling…!Deadman, though, might be an interesting component here. At one point not long ago, there was a TV series in development based on the character and while it seems to have gone cold at this point, perhaps a trip to Nanda Parbat could resurrect interest?
