Oliver Queen DIY First Aid in Arrow Arrow Season 2 Premiere Date Revealed
The big shock of the finale perhaps even more so than the destruction of the Glades was the [rip] of Olivers best friend and rival for Laurels affections, Tommy Merlyn. It wouldnt be unreasonable to a##ume that this will put a wrench in the works (or a metal rod through the chest
sorry, too soon?) for the two young lovebirds, since not only did Tommy spend his last few minutes saving Laurels life and revealing that he was in love with her, Stephen Amell has also dropped a major hint that Oliver will not be in Starling City when season 2 begins.
Given the impermanence of dying in both comic books and television (the CWs Supernatural has seen its main characters die so many times that its become a running gag on the show), many of the characters both friend and foe who died in the first season of Arrow could potentially make a return for the second season, but right now a greater amount of interest is being directed towards the question of which new characters from the DC universe might show up.
Earlier this year, producer Mark Guggenheim teased that Oliver would be making a trip to Blüdhaven, the home of Nightwing, but warned that Nightwing will not be there. This visit turned out to be quite brief, as Oliver only dropped in to rescue Walter from the Dark Archers clutches, but it nonetheless est@blished Blüdhaven within the Arrow universe, leaving the possibility open for Nightwing to emerge as a character. We also know, based on the words of executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, that there are two cities [Oliver] will probably never go to presumably Gotham City and Metropolis, where the titans of the DC universe reside.

Another fact dropped by Amell is that, when season 2 opens, Oliver will probably not be working as a vigilante any more. Since his primary motivation for dressing up and f!ghting crime was to save his city the Glades in particular its understandable that hed be a bit dejected after seeing the neighbourhood reduced to rubble. He wont have long to rest, however, as Guggenheim has warned that season 2 will, like the first season, have two big bads, and they will both be very recognizable names from the comic book series.
Where will we find Oliver Queen when season 2 returns? Who will be on his side, and who will be f!ghting him? More importantly, are people ever going to stop calling him the Hood and the Vigilante and a##ign him the proper title of Green Arrow, as suggested by Malcolm Merlyn last season? Tell us your theories in the comments.
