The Future Of Connor Hawke In The DC Universe (Major Spoilers)

Connor Hawke was created by Kelley Puckett and Jim Aparo as the son of Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow, and his former girlfriend Sandra "Moonday" Hawke. first appearing in Green Arrow volume 2 #0 in 1994, first as Oliver Queen's sidekick, then becoming the second Green Arrow, and later joining the Justice League.

However the character has been absent since the New 52 reboot of the DC Universe in 2011, and the de-ageing of Oliver Queen. An alternative universe version of Connor appeared in the series Earth 2, as Red Arrow. Connor Hawke also appeared in The CW's Arrow, as the son of John Diggle, played by Joseph David-Jones. While Oliver Queen discovered his own illegitimate son William Clayton, played by Jack Moore with a future adult version played by Ben Lewis.

But in the world of Infinite Frontier, things are changing. In Death Metal, and in Infinite Frontier #0, we learnt that everything happened, everything mattered, Including, presumably Connor Hawke.

In June, DC Comics is publishing the Green Arrow 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1. Which states that it will "see what the past, present and future have in store for Oliver Queen, Black Canary, Connor Hawke, Arsenal, Red Arrow, Speedy." But is that all? No. Big spoiler image time.

Because, leaked to Bleeding Cool, is this word from this week's upcoming Detective Comics #1034. Which has the second part of the Robin story that saw Damian Wayne confront his mother Talia Al Ghul – who, of course, is involved with the Lazarus Pit. And as the solicitation says, The League Of Lazarus. Which will be continuing in the new Robin comic book. And might explain the covers for Robin #3… and the identity of Damian Wayne's ultimate competition.

A knockout competition for the revived dead? Brought back to life by the Lazarus Pit, just like Damian Wayne was?

And might that explain the return of this fellow?

Here are the relevant solicitations…
