Arrow Season 3: 10 Reasons To Be Excited

6. More Suicide Squad

Speaking of Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad, we've learned that the team of supervillains-turned-government mercenaries will have a bigger presence in year three. Not only does that mean we'll likely be introduced to more villains that will join the ranks (Captain Boomerang has already been announced and could very well get recruited into the team), but Diggle will finally have something to do. John Diggle (David Ramsey) was created specifically for the show and was a runaway hit with audiences in season one. He was given far less to do last season, though, and was instead relegated to spouting off one-liners via bluetooth in the Arrow cave or helping Felicity when some bad guys needed to be taken out. Fans have long speculated that John Diggle was somehow going to become Green Lantern (perhaps his name is actually John Stewart Diggle?), or that he would join the Suicide Squad full time and one day lead his own spin-off series. That would definitely be great, and incorporating more of the Suicide Squad into the show is only going to make it more likely to actually happen.
