We know that "The Daughter Of Ra's Al Ghul" is on her way to Starling City to bring Black Canary back to The League of Assassins, but it has now been revealed by TV Guide that it won't be Talia! Instead, Spartacus and Chuck actress Katrina Law has been cast in the role of Ra's' other daughter; Nyssa al Ghul. While she hasn't been seen in the pages of the comic books for a while, the character played a similar role to Talia - who was recently portrayed by Marion Cotillard in The Dark Knight Rises - alongside her father in the League of Assassins. What this decision leads us to wonder is whether this is a sign that all major Batman characters are still off limits to the producers of Arrow. On the other hand, they could just be using Nyssa to differentiate this take on the League from the one seen in Christopher Nolan's recent Bat-movie

The description for the mid-season finale, "Three Ghosts," has something interesting for eagle-eyed DC fans. It says:

 

After a fight with Cyrus Gold AKA the Acolyte (guest star Graham Shiels), Oliver is drugged and left for dead. Determined to cure him, Felicity makes a risky decision. The cure causes Oliver to hallucinate, and what he sees forces him to confront his past. Meanwhile, Barry (guest star Grant Gustin) continues to help Felicity, and their connection grows stronger. The Arrow asks Lance to look into Gold, but when the stakeout on Gold goes bad, someone is killed. Roy (Colton Haynes) is captured and tortured by Brother Blood (guest star Kevin Alejandro). John Behring directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kresiberg and teleplay by Geoff Johns & Ben Sokolowski.

Teasers for future episodes released:

"Born on a Monday..."

Someone else survived the island.

Amanda makes an offer.

A better use for that clocktower.

What is the question you should have asked?

Ollie is not the first vigilante.

Not all hoods are green.

A blank expression.

"Archer"

"Rise"

According to TV Line's ever reliable "Ask Ausiello" column, Clock King is coming to Arrow later this season! Their sources tell them that the hunt is currently on for an actor in his 40s or 50s to play the villain, while the casting call describes William Tockman as having, "the mind of a chess grandmaster, and can envision all the interlocking pieces of Starling City and adjust them in favor of his crimes."
