10 Best TV Trailers From Comic-Con 2016

7. Arrow Season 5

After a poor Season 3 and a mixed, at times infuriating Season 4, Arrow needs to recapture a lot of goodwill with its fans, who are becoming fed up with the series.

The Season 5 trailer is the first look at just how they're going to go about that, and while a lot of it is showing us things we've already seen, there's plenty of exciting new footage here.

With Thea and Diggle out, and Laurel dead, Team Arrow needs some new recruits: enter Curtis Holt, Evelyn Sharp, and Wild Dog, none of whom are quite ready to make the step up. There are some fun looking action sequences of Oliver in Russia, suggesting the flashbacks might actually be interesting this year, and a tease of big bad Promethus, and overall it does indeed look like it might be getting back to basics, and back to the show everyone loved. Here's hoping.
