Via his official Twitter, Arrow producer Marc Guggenheim announced what was supposed to be a "special announcement" of episode 19 of season 2 is titled "The Man Under the Hood."

 

While normally this title would seem to be referring to Oliver, we've been given some hints that it might be something more. A few months ago, star Stephen Amell gave us a series of teasers, including "Oliver isn't the first vigilante" and "Not all hoods are green." With episode twenty being titled "Seeing Red," I believe Batman frenemy Red Hood might be making an aappearance, which is possible if that is indeed Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad teaser.

 

2 Guest Stars Announced

 

Danielle Panabaker - Caitlin Snow

Carlos Valdez - Cisco Ramon

That Red Hood bit would be odd though since Harley Quinn became who she is thanks to the Joker. And that happened quite some time after the Joker was Red Hood.

 

I see Harley happening this week but not Red Hood, to much of a jump

If you're going to use Batman mainstays in this thing the least you could do is not screw up their origin stories.  Heck, do what you will with the main Arrow characters but lets not messup everything else in the DC universe.  But who am I kidding, all you have to do is look at Smallville to see they don't care at all.

That last episode -- 3x16, Suicide Squad -- was a bit of a waste IMO, felt like a filler, because they did not have the story depth to carry things over from the previous one. Considering that this season there are 21 episodes as opposed to 23 from the last one, needing filler episodes is a bit shoddy and I hope that they get their act together.

For those who dont like clicking links:

"Slade Wilson actor Manu Bennett gave away a minor season 3 spoiler for The CW's Arrow at Florida's Megacon. Namely, the identity of season 3's big bad - which should be somewhat obvious if you've been watching the show."

"By all accounts, Spartacus actor Manu Bennett was a charming panel guest at Florida's Megacon this past weekend. He recounted humorous stories about landing his role as Slade Wilson on The CW's Arrow (apparently he "accidentally" choked out a script reader during his audition) and told fans that he'd like to do more of his own stunts on the show but Canada has a union for stunt performers, so he doesn't get to perform as many as he'd like. That duty goes to his stunt double, James Michaelopoulos. However, the most interesting question of the panel was from a fan, who asked whether Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke survives his inevitable showdown with Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and whether there's a chance he survives and then returns next season to team up with Arrow season one big bad, Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman)? Bennett revealed that the script for the season finale hasn't been written yet so he doesn't know how things shake out between Slade and Oliver but Bennett reportedly confirmed that Malcolm Merlyn will indeed be back and hinted strongly that he'll be the main antagonist for season 3 of Arrow. Not too much of a spoiler as we saw Merlyn return earlier in season 2 but he's since backed away from Moira Queen (Susanna Thompson) and the rest of the Queen family at the mere mention of Ra's Al Ghul's name."

    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
