Arrow Season 3 - The plot details has been revealed
Count Vertigo, not your average bad guy per say.
***Warning Spoilers for Arrow Season 3 contained below***
Arrow finally has a synopsis for the season 3 premiere and is opening with the first episode titled, “The Calm”. According to Zap 2it, the synopsis for the Arrow Season 3 premiere reads as:
“In the aftermath of this victory, Season 3 opens with Arrow now a hero to the citizens of Starling. Crime is down, people feel safer, and Captain Lance even calls off the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. Basking in his success, Oliver believes he can finally have a private life and asks Felicity out on a date. But the second Oliver takes his eye off the ball, a deadly villain reappears in Starling, forcing Oliver to realize that he can never be Oliver Queen — not as long as the city needs The Arrow.”
The “deadly villain” is: the Peter Stormare version of Count Vertigo. The biggest mystery is that they mention this character as reappearance, instead of “a new deadly villan,” title. Could this possibly mean that the count vertigo that we had in Arrow Season 1, was just an extention of the true Count Vertigo, or that he merely borrowed the name from his mentor to become his own legend after his master “retired?”
In the original casting report, Stormare’s character was detailed as being a spin on Werner Zytle, who is the modern version of Count Vertigo featured in DC’s New 52 continuity. In the comics, Zytle is a fallen aristocrat from Eastern Europe who regains power through organized crime and it sounds like Arrow will be trying for a similar storyline, or at least as close as possible.
Love at first sight?
Now im new to the Olicity scene, and quite frankly hope that it does end up becoming a major part of Arrow Season 3. Obviously Oliver’s love interests haven’t been the most stable, especially if he wanted to go to the glades just to grab a burger. However having Felicity as his girlfriend would give him the best balance he could possibly ask for, especially with Emily Bett Rickards portraying our young Tech girl.
The greatest thing about the revelation of their possible budding romance is that if it were to happen in real life, Stephen Amell, and Emily Bett Rickards would look really good together on the red carpet. It’s very rare nowadays to find actors who bring “it,” in their roles.
Blending their real emotions, and experiences into their characters make us understand their messages. The entire cast from the Directors, to the Actors, and the Film crew have made one thing abundantly clear with each episode: We can’t get comfortable, and expect a happy ending, since each time we tune in anything can happen.
One thing is for certain, with rumors of Nightwing circulating as a potential character, and Stephen Amells cousin Robbie Amell joining ‘The Flash’ as one half of the Firestorm team. It would appear the CW is lining up its block with DC characters, and this could possibly lead up to a Justice League show premiere pending Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
We could even see a Young Justice show, or Teen Titans live action. With Gotham finally receiving a release date, and more DC announcements happening at Comic-con from Stephen Amell on July 26th for the new DC TV Universe, it’ll be a wild ride.
Arrow season 3 Premieres on Wednesday, October 8th @ 8/7c on The CW.
