weekend, Arrow is starting to reveal some
new details about Season 3, starting with Roy's
( Colton Haynes) new costume as he assumes
the Arsenal mantle.
Take a look!
It's in step with the show's approach to Oliver's
costume, what with the leather-y look and all. I
like the crimson coloring and the fade-out from
the bottom of the jacket (which still looks like a
hoodie, a nice nod to Roy's old standby) to the
pants, but I'm not really sold on the laces, as they
seem primed to get caught on something.
Perhaps more importantly, I'm glad that Roy
is skipping straight to the Arsenal moniker as
opposed to adopting Speedy, which is
already taken, thanks to it being Thea's nickname
and all, or Red Arrow, which may've caused
confusion since Oliver's not even going by Green
Arrow, just the Arrow.
However, I also dig it because, while Roy enjoyed
the perks and perils of the mirakuru serum, he's
without that particular edge now, and since
he lacks the extensive training that Oliver has,
helping fight bad guys with a few extra weapons—
namely, spare arrows and what look like escrima
sticks in the boots—makes sense to me.
Arrow will likely have more Season 3 tidbits to
share when the cast and producers convene for
the show's Comic-Con panel on Friday. Warner
Bros. TV and DC Entertainment will also be
hosting an event this weekend, to promote
their TV properties hitting the airwaves this fall.
Stay tuned for more news!
