I think Malcolm is alive, can easily bring him back further seasons down the line.

Writers for The CW's Arrow are back in production, teasing another 23 episode long season. Also, Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim looks ahead to Season Two as Oliver transforms from vigilante to hero.

It appears that the second season of The CW's Arrow will be another 23 episode order. As evidenced above, the show's writers just reassembled to begin work on the next season. From ComicBookMovie's exclusive interview with Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg, we know that the second season will feature Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) taking on a new mission and moving away from 'The Hood' moniker while tweaking his costume and acquiring new crime-fighting gear. Filming set to begin this July.

This Wednesday, a new digital comic book, the first in a two-part series, will be released which bridges the gap between Season One and Season Two. Here's what the books writer and fellow Executive Producer of the show Marc Guggenheim had to say about Arrow moving forward into the second season. "In the digital comic there's a moment we'll look back on as the very last time Oliver was the vigilante," said Guggenheim. He continued, "Season 2 is all about him going from vigilante to being a hero. There really is a difference. Especially in comics, we tend to use those words interchangeably, but Season 2 really spells out the difference between what it means to be a vigilante and what it means to be a hero," the EP stated on Oliver's next adventure. "That's something we grab by the throat and don't let go of starting in episode 1 of Season 2.

The digital comic presents the final, final moment of Oliver truly taking the law into his own hands and being judge, jury and executioner as opposed to being a more inspirational figure in the form of a hero," wrapped up Guggenheim, which sounds like Oliver will be moving away from k!lling his targets and instead, turn them over to the proper authorities. An interesting topic and I think the correct route to take the character but the show will always have to acknowledge the events of the first season where Oliver racked up a rather large body count. No matter how big of a hero he becomes on the show, he'll always have those actions hanging over his head both legally and amongst his peers (hopefully superhero peers).

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 Oliver’s best friend and rival for Laurel’s affections, Tommy Merlyn. It wouldn’t 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 Laurel’s 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 CW’s Supernatural has seen its main characters die so many times that it’s 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 Archer’s 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 – it’s understandable that he’d be a bit dejected after seeing the neighbourhood reduced to rubble. He won’t 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.

Arrow returns to the CW on Wednesday, October 9th, at 8:00-9:00 PM ET.
