Of course, the DC universe is filled to the brim with characters that could easily headline their own spinoff, but Pedowitz felt the Flash would be the best fit for the world already established on Arrow. "I came to a point and said, this would be a great character to do and we felt that the best way to launch this charter would be as an origin story on Arrow," Pedowitz explained.

There's also another superhero being introduced in season two that fans are eager to meet: Black Canary, who will be played by Caity Lotz, at least at first. Of course, the casting caused some eyebrows to be raised as Laurel became the Black Canary in the comics, but Pedowitz spills that Lotz's character will have major ties to Laurel.

"I hope she brings a certain amount of conflict since she's playing the sister of Laurel Lance," he reveals of the new character, who he wouldn't confirm or deny is actually the Black Canary. "It's an origin story. I don't know if this character is the Black Canary or not the Black Canary, so it is in origin story. But remember, Laurel Lance was the Black Canary in the DC universe."
