Thanks to the guys over at Latino-Review, we now know that Grant Gustin is one of the top three actors that the CW are considering for the role of Barry Allen/The Flash in Arrow. It's apparently now down to him and (as we heard earlier today) Parkland's Matt Barr and little-known James Mackay. Gustin is 23 years old and is best known for starring in 90210 and Glee, although Barr is arguably the most suitable choice for the character so far mentioned. He also has the right sort of physique that the network so prominently feature on their promos...what do you guys think?

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that it will be Grant Gustin who brings Barry Allen to life in the second season of Arrow and a potential spin-off of his own. "I?m unbelievably excited," the Glee actor told the site. "I?ve been a lifelong fan of DC Comics, so I can?t be more honored and can?t wait to get started." The plan for the character to appear in three episode of Arrow remains the same, with his final appearance planned as a back door pilot of his own series. However, how exactly will the grounded CW series deal with the introduction of the super speedster? "Part of the fun for the audience is to see how we view our Arrow take on the Flash legacy," Andrew Kreisberg said. "Some of it will feel very familiar to DC Comics, some of it hopefully will feel different, fresh and exciting. The same way we approached Arrow is the same way we're approaching Barry. There will be extraordinary events in the world and the characters will react in the same way" Barry Allen is described as being a Central City assistant police forensic investigator who comes to Starling City to look into a series of unexplained robberies which he believes may be connected to his tragic past. As a comic book fanboy, Allen is apparently obsessed with Arrow and ends up working with Oliver and Felicity before crossing paths with the vigilante.

Arrow co-creator Andrew Kreisberg has revealed what fans can expect from the show's version of the Black Canary.

The DC Comics heroine will feature in the TV drama's second season, portrayed by Mad Men actress Caity Lotz.

"She's a new player in town," Kreisberg told Entertainment Weekly. "A vigilante who avenges wronged women.

"[she] seems to have a fixation on the Arrow (Stephen Amell) and our team is trying to figure out why."

The original version of Black Canary - created by Robert Kanigher and Carmine Infantino - made her comics debut in August 1947 in Flash Comics #86.

Arrow will also introduce costumed superhero The Flash in its new season, with Glee star Grant Gustin playing the Scarlet Speedster.

The series returns to The CW on October 9, with Sky1 airing season two in the UK at a later date.

Copycat superheroes? Say it ain't so!

http://www.croatiantimes.com/news/Around_the_World/2013-05-08/33319/Cops_Hunt_Explosive_Arrow_Firing_Superhero_Copycat

German police are hunting a bowman who has been impersonating Marvel action hero Hawkeye by creating explosive arrows that in at least one case caused a massive fire that needed more than a dozen firemen to extinguish.

A police spokesman said: "Arrows are not toys, and especially arrows that have been rigged up to explode are something that we treat very seriously."

Dylan Neal To Play 'Amazo' Creator 'Dr. Anthony Ivo' In Season Two Of ARROW

Screen Crush have revealed that the latest DC comic book character to be brought to life on the small screen in Arrow will be 'Dr. Anthony Ivo'. Dylan Neal (whose credits include Cedar Cove, Human Target and Smallville) has been chosen to play him. However, in his first appearance - the fifth episode which is entitled "League of Assassins" - he will appear in Oliver's island flashbacks rather than Starling City. As this is set to be a four episode arc though, it's certainly likely that we'll see him return to make Ollie's life difficult further down the line as the site mentions that the door is open for recurring appearances. They describe Arrow's take on the villain as, " a brutal but ruthless scientist who will stop at nothing to unearth a breakthrough that dates back to the latter days of World War II." Ivo is also the creator of the android 'Amazo'.

As speculated at this summer?s San Diego Comic-Con ? given the talent RSVP list for the sophomore superhero drama?s panel discussion ? John Barrowman is set to reprise his role as Malcolm Merlyn aka The Dark Archer sometime during Season 2, TVLine can confirm.

 

A spokesperson for The CW would not say in what form Malcolm, who in the finale was last seen having an arrow thrust through his chest by The Hood, will resurface ? in a dream (OK, nightmare) sequence, flashback, as a ?ghost? or in the big, bad flesh ? but TVLine hears the character will appear in at least two episodes.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
