7 Theories On How Arrow Will End
1. Oliver Becomes The Spectre Full-Time
Oliver may have avoided permanent death (for the moment) in Crisis On Infinite Earths, but he hasn't exactly returned to his normal state either. Having his soul rescued from purgatory by ally John Constantine, daughter Mia Smoak and long-time friend John Diggle, Oliver was confronted by Jim Korrigan and gifted with the mantle of The Spectre.
While that might rule out death (again, for the moment), it doesn't necessarily mean that the former Green Arrow is suddenly allowed to return to his normal life. While the Crisis will likely see Oliver use his new abilities to destroy the Anti-Monitor, there's a possibility that this will only mark the beginning of his time as the hooded figure.
If you recall, the Season 7 finale saw Felicity catch up with The Monitor in the future, where the cosmic being took her to what appeared to be another dimension so that she could reunite with Oliver. This confirmed that he didn't actually die during the original timeline's Crisis (even though he was supposedly destined to) and that he existed in another dimension.
With that in mind, could he have been sentenced to two decades of duty as The Spectre in the aftermath of the Crisis while everyone else - bar Felicity - was left to assume that he died? If so, could things pan out the same way in the slightly altered timeline?
