This DC Hero Should Appear On Arrow This Season
Warner Bros Television has done a really good job of introducing characters into the Arrowverse over five years that now it seems like anybody could be added and it would work. But each of the series have a different tone, meaning that certain characters would make more sense on certain series. Here is a look at fan-favorite character I think not only should be brought into the Arrowverse, but which show they should appear on.
For Arrow the choice seems obvious to me. A dark and gritty, street-level hero obsessed with protecting his city. The Answer is simple, The Question. Now I would go with the original Steve Ditko version of Vic Sage with touches of Denny O'Neill's work. Renee Montoya is a good character, but I think Sage was a little closer to crazy and would make an interesting mirror for Oliver Queen to look at and see just how far down the rabbit hole he could've gone. The Question is an urban shaman who guards Hub City like it's his lover. They could do a two-part adventure where Green Arrow must go to Hub City to follow a lead or track a bad guy and have to team up with the Question. They could give the rest of the cast the time off and make it almost a stand alone movie.
As for casting, I think they should go with Matt Bomer from White Collar. We know he can pull off a fedora, he's got the good lucks to be believable as a TV news host and then visually you have a guy with no face… easy to swap in a stunt double. And if they want to really pull out the stops, you make the villain Onomatopoeia and get Kevin Smith to direct. This would be the bringing together of two characters that O'Neill had significant influence on.
