Sara won’t be the only character resurrected in Season 4. The green-clad Arrow that was officially retired after Roy Harper faked his death in Oliver’s stead will also be returning from the dead.

According to Stephen Amell, he’ll be officially Green this time. After going by a variety of names over the first three seasons, it looks like Oliver will finally be taking the traditional title of his comic counterpart: Green Arrow.

He even gets a new suit! With his stash of toys and leather confiscated by the SCPD, the Green Arrow has updated his ensemble to a considerably more armored and questionably sleeveless look. Whether the sleevelessness is designed to more closely resemble the comic Green Arrow or to force Amell to keep his biceps impressively droolworthy at all times, the new suit is the sign of a new era for the hero. The era may be one featuring a plethora of wounds to his upper arms and embarrassing tanlines if he ever decides to venture out in the daylight, but at least he seems to have decided to stop short of coordinating lipstick and nail polish of his signature color with his gear. There are some lines that just can’t be uncrossed.
