Arrow Season 4: 10 More DC Characters We'd Love To Appear

By Connor Briggs-Morris /

5. Deacon Blackfire

Since Arrow€™s used up most of his villains already, we€™re faced with yet another Batman villain making for a reasonable addition to the show. Famously appearing in a singular Batman story called The Cult, Blackfire is a notorious con artist and cult leader. Claiming to be over 100 years old, Blackfire quietly amassed a huge underground army of the homeless. Rising up out of nowhere, they begin a vicious war on crime only to eventually attempt to take over the whole city. If this sounds familiar it€™s because aspects of the character were incorporated into Bane for The Dark Knight Rises. Considering the sad state of Star City at the moment, the inclusion of Blackfire could make a lot of sense. The city is falling apart and there€™s a well-known homeless problem. It would make sense that a charismatic, enterprising individual could see the opportunity that presents. It looks like Damien Darhk could be taking a similar approach but that doesn€™t mean there isn€™t space for a zealot like Blackfire to attempt to rise up as well.
