With the September days upon us, now's as good a time as any to update ourselves on pre-season news before The CW's "Arrowverse" shows return. With Arrow shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated eighth season (making The Flash the "elder states-show" of the "Arrowverse" as it speeds into its sixth season), Ruby […]

So that explains the Monitor image LaMonica Garrett tweeted out on Friday! If you caught Sunday night's fourth season finale of Supergirl "The Quest for Peace," then you know the CW is now three-for-three when it comes to season-ending cliffhangers that lead directly into this year's "Arrowverse" mega-crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (more details […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. as we look at season finale "You Have Saved This City" – ending a season that can best be described as a bit schizophrenic. When the season began, Oliver was in jail for being a vigilante, Diaz was on the loose, and Team […]

The CW's Arrow wraps up its seventh and final full (20+ episode) season Monday night, May 13. Oliver's struggle for Emiko's soul in the present day storyline comes to a head, with Emiko possessing  a weapon that can wipe out the city (of course… it is May). In the future, the surviving members of Team Arrow […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. Like last week, this week's episode pulls narrative shenanigans in an effort to attempt to hide from the viewer the fact that there's not much going on here. Heading into the season finale, the episodes should be building to a crescendo – not […]

Oliver's down and Felicity's out on the next new episode of CW's Arrow, with the network starting to get a little more cagey as we move closer to the season finale – shortening their episode descriptions to meet the bare minimum, as seen below in the synopsis for "Living Proof": Arrow season 7, episode 21 "Living […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. This week's episode took a different, non-linear path to solve a compelling mystery. Two subway security guards (the transportation system, not the sandwich shop) are found dead. Team Arrow was on the scene at the time they were killed. Dinah and Officer Pollard […]

Someone's running around putting arrows in bodies on the next new episode of CW's Arrow "Confessions" – which in a lot of ways sounds like the theme of every other episode of Arrow. Only this time… it's a villain putting arrows in bodies in an attempt to frame Oliver. So… sounds just like a flashback […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. After taking a back seat to the ladies last week, Oliver and company are back in the forefront this episode, particularly Oliver and Diggle. It's a nice return to the earlier seasons, before Oliver put together a JV squad to come off the […]

With Arrow set to shuffle off the CW's programming coil with its upcoming abbreviated eighth season, fans will be looking to get their fill of the Emerald Archer while they still can – and Amulet Books is here to help. Author Barry Lyga's (I Hunt Killers) The Flash: Green Arrow's Perfect Shot finds Oliver needing […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. Last week's episode of the CW's Arrow was one of those that left you feeling… let's go with hoping that the writers don't believe in that whole "fixed points in time that can't be changed" concept because right now? The future's not too bright […]

It's almost as if the folks behind the CW's Arrow knew we needed a little more time to wrap our minds around the concept of law enforcement-sanctioned vigilantes who get to pretty much play by their own rules and do what they need to do to get the "bad guys." Oh, and and they get […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. It might be tempting to want to look ahead towards the end of the series after the announcements of the past week, but that's next year. We still have this season – one of the best in years – to get through […]

Fans of the "Arrowverse" have had a few days to process the news that CW's long-running, foundational DC universe series Arrow will end its run with an abbreviated 10-episode season 8 during the first-half of the 2019-2020 broadcast season. One of those people is The Flash star Grant Gustin, who released an Instagram post that […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing coverage of the CW's Arrow season 7. After the previous episode wrapped up the Star City Slayer storyline, we're at a bit of a loss for a big-bad to threaten Star City over the next two months, and quickly running out of time to establish such a threat. Where do Star City's […]

Thanks for joining us for Bleeding Cool's look at the CW's Arrow's 150th episode, "Emerald Archer." Wow… 150 episodes! Who would have thought seven years ago that the show which launched the "Arrowverse" would still be going strong? I mean, we've all been kinda watching and waiting for the show's cancellation starting with the not-good-at-all third […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's recap of the seventh season of the The CW's Arrow, continuing with this week's episode "Past Sins." Arrow s07e11 'Past Sins': The past comes back to haunt both Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy). Curtis (Echo Kellum) is upset when he discovers that Diggle (David Ramsey) and Lyla (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson) […]

Under new showrunner Beth Schwartz, Arrow is having a bit of a resurgence on the CW. Typically as a series ages, the viewership numbers trend downward, which has been true for Arrow… until this seventh season. On average, Arrow season seven is up between 3% and 4% in both total viewership and in the coveted 18-49 […]
