Arrow Dinah Laurel Lance/Katie Cassidy Thread - Part 2

[Herolee10]

At this point, Nyssa or Thea would be a better substitute for Arrow's version of Huntress.

 

[Man of Steel]

But Arrow already has a Huntress, and if Slade can go from anti-hero to psycho killer, why can't Huntress do the reverse?

DC will be offering some promo packs for their June launches, and there's a gorgeous Black Canary concert poster among them!

Because its easier to fall down a pit than to climb up out of it?

Which is to say: no, the Huntress is too far gone. Once you get to the point of massacring FBI agents in the name of getting revenge on your father? There is no plausible redemption, and even if she *wanted* to change, no plausible reason to trust her judgement or ethics. An unstable murderous psychopath who wants to help you is still an unstable murderous psychopath.

I think they can make her the some-what equivalent to Red Hood. Sure I don't think he ever killed a cop, but Huntress doesn't have to kill cops anymore. Huntress can be redeemed with a good story arc.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Huntress can totally have a redemption arc, which they should give her.

 

[b_boy]

Have Huntress doing some street work againsther will but because Arrow needed her help since is something related to her father's mobs, in some point the police breaks in to get the bad guys, one police officer is going to be shot and she jumps in front of them and takes the shot because she fells responsible for all the dead cops and don't want anyone else dead. Then she gets to the vigillant thing because she wants to protect the cops from the real dangerous criminals. This way they could give her a reason why she's going after dangerous ppl...

Katie is a full blonde again, at a con she was just at, she vowed that Laurel would do the Salmon Ladder and that Laurel/Nyssa would hang out more.

Notes from Katies panel from tumblr

- She didn’t want to do anything but Arrow when pilot season came around. This, understandably upset her agent/manager but she felt so strongly to play this character.

- Started training in S1 to show producers that she was ready to take on role of BC whenever they needed her.

- Learning the legal jargon learn is her worst nightmare.

- Huge fan of Catwoman. Especially Michelle Pfeiffers’ portrayal of Catwoman.

- There’s a big storyline in the works for Laurel’s character next season.

- She loves that her job is to workout and kick ass. Both on and off screen.

- She’s currently doing kickboxing and martial arts as her workout regime.

- Into the “dad bod.” Which is 30 year old dads with a bit of a belly. (I think the guy was drunk who asked that haha.)

- If she were a meta human, she’d like to be able to teleportate.

- If she could be a super hero, she’d be the Flash.

- Most embarrassing moment is on the S1 gag reel. Her and Stephen were making out and he tripped and fell and she fell on top of him.

- She stole Laurel Lance’s portfolio off the set to use for her scripts/important files.

- Would like to try the salmon ladder for S4.

- Loves working with Paul Blackthorne and that the cast are all great friends friends off set.

- Face planted many times as BC. Hopes it makes the S3 gag reel.

- Had input in the BC costume. Such as the mask, black lip, makeup.

- She’d love a sword in BC’s arsenal of weapons. “Slicing up the bad guys would be fun!”

- Just got a movie role. It’s a thriller. Can’t talk any more about it.

I agree. After her father died, she said she felt empty. I can see her trying to fight for good to make up for the sins of her past, or to fill that hole in her life. Didn't she already help Roy and Oliver in the Season 2.5 comics? (No seriously, did she? The last one read was the one where she and Roy were apparently gearing up to rescue Oliver, but I don't know what came of that whole thing.)

 

[cheungcheung]

For Birds of Prey, I want Huntress to be redeemed and go from being a psycho killer to an anti-hero, like her comic counterpart. Felicity can be Oracle. At least then, she'll have something useful to do.

I agree. Would love to see birds of prey next season. She should go back to Sara's clock tower too if she wants.

And Black Canary showing up in Vixen.

You sure that isn't just fan art?

 

[Primal Slayer]

Possibly, Cassidy hasn't said one way or another, and it does match the Vixen art.

Yep it does match it. I think it part of the concept art which isn't always heavily detailed but is close enough.

 

[Nathan]

Well, unless they changed their art direction, I say it's fan art. Also small details like how badly the hands are drawn or the bow looks, makes me believe it's nothing official.

 

[Primal Slayer]

 

[zenith16]

yep I can see why this reaction was made.

It's concept work it's like seeing the work of alpha work or beta in a video game and saying it's not complete , yeah it's not complete, it's early sketch work and please don't think I'm arguing or dissing you in some way cause I'm not. Early concept work won't ever be the same as final product.

Which is why they were concepts . perfect detail will show if they weren't just rough sketches. yeah the one he gave her it's colored but it's still a rough sketch anyway

 

[Nathan]

Well, found the person who drew it. Since I don't see anything else that is Vixen related, and even see Netflix's Daredevil, I'm going with fanart.

It's pretty clear the artist is going for Bourassa's style, but it's not exact.
