Emily Rickards is just plain beautiful.

 

 

In the comics, Mr. Terrific is Michael Holt, a self-made billionaire and Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete with genius intellect who becomes a superhero after the death of his wife and unborn child, later going on to lead the Justice Society of America.

lol. Could Mr. Terrific be any more implausible.  :rofl:

Season 4 Will Focus On "Magic And Mysticism"

Speaking to a roundtable of reporters at SDCC (via Comicbook.com), Amell revealed that "Oliver alludes very early on in the season that [magic] is something that he's seen before, so clearly that will play into this year's flashbacks for him." This makes sense, with former League Of Assassins member Damien Dahrk set to be the season's big bad. It also adds further cause for the introduction of Matt Ryan's John Constantine as a guest star on the show.

Arrow Casts Teen Wolf Star J.R. Bourne As Double Down

2015-07-24_01-36-04.png

J.R. Bourne has been cast as DC Comics' villain 'Double Down'/'Jeremy Tell' for the fourth season of The CW's Arrow, according to The Wrap.

In the comics, Double Down is a villain that tends to battle The Flash, not Oliver Queen, but for the television universe he'll make his first appearance--3rd episode--in Star City.

For the show, he'll be a metahuman that can "can turn his playing card tattoos into deadly weapons." But in the comics, Double Down was a gambler that gained his powers from a cursed deck of cards that came from a man he murdered after losing to him in a high stakes poker game. Double Down is a sore loser!

The 45-year-old Canadian-born actor is best known for playing 'Martouf' from Stargate SG-1 and 'Chris Argent' from MTV's Teen Wolf.

In the upcoming fourth season of "Arrow," Oliver Queen and his crew will get a new headquarters, and Entertainment Weekly has unveiled concept art for Team Arrow's new space, which is currently called the Arrow Bunker by the writers' room.

"In designing the new lair, we had to think in terms of the much larger group that Oliver (Stephen Amell) has now surrounded himself with and how Team Arrow is a much bigger enterprise," executive producer Marc Guggenheim explained.

"There is an area for Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) to work, there is an area for Oliver to work out, and there is a garage," he continued. "There are many different places we'll continue to discover over the course of the season that give you a sense that this thing is a bit bigger than we got used to in the first three years."

Guggenheim wouldn't reveal the location of the Arrow Bunker in the interview. However, fans may recall that Felicity inadvertently signed papers to become the CEO of Palmer Technologies (formerly Queen Industries) last season; after Ray's (Brandon Routh) accident in the season finale, her new role in the company may have something to do with Team Arrow's latest enterprise.

Arrow bunker,  sorta like, you know, a batcave.   Maybe it's just me but I have this growing feeling that the Arrow people really wanted to do a Batman tv series but got shot down from WB and had to make due with Arrow as plan B.  But they still haven't let go and they're pulling in as much stuff you normally see associated with batman into arrow now.

A war has been brewing online for some time now between “Arrow” star Stephen Amell and wrestler Stardust for the better part of the summer. What began as a playful back and forth on Twitter actually came to blows on WWE’s Monday Night Raw last week. Since then, it’s been confirmed that Amell will in fact go toe-to-toe with Stardust and King Barrett (who coincidentally shares his name with a DC Comics villain) and featuring Adrian Neville as his ring partner on this Sunday’s WWE SummerSlam.

Amell took to Facebook last night to offer a tease for his appearance on SummerSlam, and revealed that he will in fact be bringing along his “Arrow” costume into the ring. Check it out below along with a video of the Amell v Stardust feud.

“Arrow” also stars Katie Cassidy as Dinah “Laurel” Lance, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak, John Barrowman as Malcom Merlyn, with Paul Blackthorne as Detective Lance. The series is executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg and Sarah Schechter.

After defeating his most formidable foe to date and riding off into the sunset with longtime flame Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen (a.k.a. The Arrow) left Starling City with the hopes of beginning a new life. But will Oliver ever truly be able to leave behind his past as the Arrow, and, if so, what becomes of the team he has worked so hard to assemble? Will Diggle, Thea, and Laurel be left to continue Oliver’s crusade without him? And with Malcolm Merlyn having ascended to the top of the League of Assassins as the new Ra’s al Ghul, is anyone really safe? “Arrow” will premiere its fourth season on Wednesday, October 7 at 8:00pm ET/PT.

Didn't know this was happening...

‘Arrow': Matt Ryan To Return As Constantine

Whoa. I can't say I expected that. I enjoyed watching Constantine so I'm glad John Constantine is making another appearance.

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
