They have changed things up and are not going to have Barry Allen turn into the Flash on Arrow but instead do it in his own series pilot episode.
http://www.deadline.com/2013/11/cws...ilot-instead-of-arrow-backdoor-pilot-episode/

There has been a change in the CW‘s plans forThe Flash. Originally, the character, played by Grant Gustin, was supposed to appear in three episodes ofArrow this season — No. 8, No. 9 and No. 20, the last one serving as a backdoor pilot directed by David Nutter. Episodes 8 and 9, in which the superhero is introduced only as his alter ego Barry Allen, have already been shot. But now the CW has opted to film a traditional stand-alone Flash pilot instead of doing a backdoor pilot as Arrow‘s Episode 20. With Episodes 8 and 9 serving as an origin story, the plan was for The Flash character to make his debut — red costume and all — in Arrow‘s Episode 20. He will now do it in the pilot. The creative team remains the same, with Arrow co-creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg and series scribe Geoff Johns writing the pilot and Nutter, who helmed the pilot for Arrow,directing. Berlanti, Kreisberg and Nutter executive produce, with Melissa Kellner Berman co-executive producing.

The decision was made after CW brass saw cuts of Episodes 8 and 9, which have been very well received. Filming a stand-alone Flash pilot would allow the creators to better flesh out the superhero’s story and his world on a bigger budget, as pilot budgets are significantly higher than episodic ones. While no longer a full-blown spinoff, The Flash still will be tethered to the Arrow universe since the the character (as Barry Allen) will first be introduced there. In light of the pilot order, it is unclear whether Episode 20 of Arrow will feature the Flash or any reference to him. The Arrow producers are expected to discuss their ideas for the episode with the CW this coming week. On Arrow, Barry Allen (Gustin) is a Central City assistant police forensics investigator who arrives in Starling to look into a series of unexplained robberies that may have a connection to a tragedy in his past. A comic book fanboy, Barry is obsessed with the Arrow unaware that working with Oliver and Felicity to solve the crime has brought him right into the dangerous world of the vigilante.

I like this idea; there is a lot of shyt going down on Arrow this season so instead of having to put that stuff on the backburner to focus on Barry Allen putting on a costume the show can focus on their own stories and the Flash gets a bigger budget to debut dude in costume using his powers.

The rumor floating around is that the dude being introduced in Arrow could be the movie Flash too. Rumors are also circulating that the Arrow TV Universe is going to be the same as the DC Movie Universe from Man of Steel so dude Ollie could be making an appearance in the upcoming DC movies too.
It just rumors though.

Arrow Casts Spartacus Alum as Daughter of Ra's al Ghul

The daughter of Ra's al Ghul is coming to Starling City — but it's not exactly who you'd expect.

Spartacus alum Katrina Law has been tapped to play Ra's al Ghul's other progeny, Nyssa al Ghul, on Arrow, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

On The CW series, Nyssa is a powerful member of the League of Assassins who comes to Starling City in pursuit of The Canary (Caity Lotz).

In the comics, it's revealed that Ra's al Ghul had a love child while traveling through Russia, making Nyssa the half-sister of Talia al Ghul, whom Marion Cotillard portrayed in The Dark Knight Rises. With Nyssa coming to town, it may give some credence to a popular theory that Isabel Rochev (Summer Glau) is secretly Talia — or we could just be crazy!

Law, whose other credits include Legend of the Seeker and Chuck, will first appear in the 13th episode of Season 2, aptly titled "Heir to the Demon." Law's casting marks yet another Spartacusreunion of sorts. Manu Bennett plays series regular Slade Wilson and Cynthia Addai-Robinsonrecently joined the cast as Amanda Waller.

Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW. Are you excited to meet Ra's al Ghul's other daughter?

I wonder if this makes it more likely that Arrow will be included as a part of the Man of Steel universe since it allows the show to use the daughter of Ra's Al Ghul without stepping on any future Batman movie toes by using Talia.

You can find out more about the comic book version of Nyssa HERE.

I guess Spartacus was the breeding ground for Arrow characters. That makes 3 so far. Wouldn't mind them finding something for Lucy Lawless and Batiatus...

Batiatus as Hacket?
Make it so, Arrow producers!

A former pilot for the Royal Air Force, Hackett eventually came into the employ of a heroin manufacturer named China White. China conducted her business from an island volcano in Fiji, and communicated her orders to Hackett from there. Over a decade ago, Hackett insinuated his way into the lifestyle of millionaire playboyOliver Queen. He convinced Queen to invest in several illegal offshore accounts, though Queen was unaware that the money was being used for drug trafficking. Hackett arranged to meet with China White, but Oliver insisted on coming along and they both embarked upon the Pacific Queen. Queen's presence threatened to expose China White's operations, and she ordered Hackett to kill him. As he considered himself Oliver's friend, Hackett couldn't bring himself to murder him in cold blood, so he tossed him over the side of the ship instead. Ollie survived however, and encountered Hackett again onFiji where he learned that he was actually working for China White. The two fought one another, but Ollie managed to get away. When Hackett reported back to China White, she was furious at him for not shooting him in the head as originally instructed.

Loving all the Spartacus cast showing up on Arrow, makes sense to cast Mira. She was dope with an Arrow on Spartacus.

We need Asher to show up as a villain of some sort.
