Laural looked better in season 1 than in 2. She's got an anime face.
"Arrow" will add more DC Comics characters to the show in its upcoming third season: Deadline reported Tuesday afternoon that Devon Aoki will play Katana, one of Oliver's mentors in the Hong Kong-set flashbacks.
Katana was created by writer Mike W. Barr and artist Jim Aparo, and first introduced in 1983's "The Brave and the Bold" #200. Frequently depicted as part of the Outsiders team, Katana was the titular star of a 10-issue solo series that ran last year, and part of the main "Justice League of America" cast.
Also known as Tatsu Yamashiro, in DC's comics Katana is known for wielding the Soultaker sword -- which, just like it sounds, takes the souls of its victims. The character has also appeared in "Batman: The Brave and the Bold," and was a main character in recent animated series "Beware the Batman."
Aoki's time on screen has been limited in recent years, with her last credited role in 2009's "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead." She played Miho in 2005's original "Sin City" film, based on Frank Miller's series of Dark Horse Comics graphic novels, though the role will be played by Jamie Chung in sequel "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For," scheduled for release in August.
What's Stephen Amell up to at San Diego Comic-Con? The Arrow star will be part of the panel for his series, of course, but today he teased much more is in store.
During a longer Facebook post, Amell wrote the following:
You know I'm going to be at San Diego Comic-Con International this year, but you have no idea what I'm going to be doing. The Arrow panel on Friday evening is the literal tip of the iceberg. Feel free to speculate. There are (at least) 3 more things on my schedule. Big things. Needless to say, I plan on winning Comic-Con this year. Captain Style.
The comments on that Facebook status immediately began to fill with speculation on what Amell's other SDCC commitments could be - and quickly turned to a lot of pondering about whether we might get a reveal that he is part of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the Justice League movie, something many fans hope will occur. Of course, there's no guarantee that is the case, and is being fueled by a prevalent fan desire that Amell's Arrow will be tied into the DC Comics movies, but it's certainly difficult not to wonder what Amell means by "big things."
In addition, Amell wrote:
Heading to a new city this September to meet some friends. Announcement is coming Tuesday.
Crossovers between Arrow and The Flash are almost a certainty -- the trailer for The Flash has already revealed Amell has a guest appearance in the pilot episode -- so that could be the Tuesday announcement. But we will have to wait and see.
