you mean like in episode 3 where they used Floyd Lawton as Deadshot?
i was kinda blown away that they appear to have killed him off so quickly.
Deadshot was never really just a Green Arrow villian, he certainly gets around the DC Universe, but given he and Queen are both marksmen makes him an interesting foil for Green Arrow.
i have a feeling he may be back with some sort of mechanized eye.
i also really liked that they had Dinah (i have such a hard time calling her Laurel) beat someone up, since, she's always portrayed as a better hand-to-hand combatant than Green Arrow is. i was worried they'd relegate her to the damsel in distress role. |

| How do figure they'll have her end up with super powers as Black Canary? |
|
| well, there are several distinct periods in Black Canary's history when she had no sonic scream, but still kicks all kinds of ass.
so i'm not particularly concerned if they choose not introduce super powers. they could quite easily take the Christopher Nolan approach and say that this version of DC continuity has no "superheroes", only highly skilled and unique individuals. |
