History AndTheFandomRejoiced / Arrow

* Al Sah-him" features [[spoiler: Laurel finally using [[MakeMeWannaShout the Canary Cry]] and Thea finally wearing the ([[MovieSuperheroesWearBlack dark rendition of]]) Mia Dearden costume]].

* The Season 7 {{Flash Forward}}s shows [[spoiler: Earth-2 Dinah Laurel Lance ''finally'' donning the ComicBook/BlackCanary mantle, as she has always been the popular choice to take the mantle from her DeadAlternateCounterpart]].

* The announcement that Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle will no longer be show runners after Season 6! Considering how much the show's quality has gone down under the duo, it's hugely satisfying!

* The implication in season 2's first episode that Ollie will start (eventually) calling himself Green Arrow has a lot of people pleased. After several teases in ''Series/The Flash'' through [[spoiler:future newspapers]], Oliver officially donned the CodeName starting Season 4.

* Creator/ColtonHaynes returning as a series regular for Season 7. Other than one FridgeHorror[[note]]His character Roy is last seen leaving Star City with Thea and Nyssa, heavily suggesting something bad happened to the latter two hence why he returns[[/note]] surrounding his return, fans universally rejoiced when it is announced.

* The announcement that Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle will no longer be show runners after Season 6! Considering how much the show's quality has gone down under the duo, it's hugely satisfying!

* Felicity, Slade, and Roy becoming series regulars in Season 2.
** Even the promotional posters with [[{{EnsembleDarkHorse}} Felicity and Diggle]] standing front and centre beside Oliver were enough to get people excited about the season's apparent focus on Team Arrow.
* The Flash series that will spin out of this show.

** Even better, after the series was confirmed to go to series, Stephen Amell [[https://www.facebook.com/stephenamell/posts/648128985272372 announced]] he'll be appearing in the pilot.
** The decision to change the Flash's OriginStory from a BackdoorPilot (which would have been the 20th episode of Season 2) into a more conventional pilot was praised, as it allowed ''Arrow'' to keep the focus on its core cast at that late point in the game; further, episode 18 introduced ''Flash''-regulars Danielle Panabaker (as Caitlin Snow) and Carlos Valdes (as Cisco Ramon), which had the double-benefit of world-building ''as well as'' the EarlyBirdCameo and MythologyGag elements.
* The announcement that Creator/SummerGlau would be cast in season 2. Many are happy about this, although some are cautiously optimistic, given the 'Summer Glau Curse' and all.
** Doesn't hurt that the show did get another season (and more), although the SGC might not fully apply since Glau was only a recurring character this season.

* The implication in season 2's first episode that Ollie will start (eventually) calling himself Green Arrow has a lot of people pleased.
** If [[spoiler: the future (2024) newspaper]] in ''Series/TheFlash2014'' episode "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S1E20TheTrap The Trap]]" is any indication, he will be.
* Three words: [[spoiler:Ra's al Ghul.]]
** And better yet [[spoiler: his child is mentioned in [[Recap/ArrowS2E5LeagueOfAssassins League Of Assassins]].]]

* Roy joining Team Arrow and starting on the path to becoming Arsenal or Red Arrow.
** WordOfGod states it'll be Arsenal.
* Amanda Waller got squees when she was announced, but when she approaches Ben Turner, offering to put him in a [[Comicbook/SuicideSquad squad that she's forming]], nerdgasms resulted at the prospect of the Suicide Squad appearing on the show.

* [[spoiler:Harley Quinn]] received a cameo in "Suicide Squad", to the delight of fans everywhere.

* Also coming up in Season 3: Katana, a more traditional Count Vertigo, and Ray Palmer/Atom!

* The news that [[http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/arrow-flash-superhero-spin-off-dc-comics-the-cw-1201442750/ a spinoff is in the works]] and Caity Lotz is being considered for the cast. Of course, given that [[spoiler:Sara's been dead for a while now]], this is more cautious optimism, but still... it's ''something''.
** And now the trailer for ''Legends of Tomorrow'' is out, showing that [[spoiler: Sara really is coming BackFromTheDead!]]

* Stephen Amell debuting [[spoiler: his new costume as Green Arrow]] live at San Diego Comic-Con. Watch it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP3pi_unmf0&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=FlicksAndTheCity here]].
* John Constantine is not only making an appearance, but will also play a key part in [[spoiler: Sara Lance's]] resurrection, pleasing the Constantine and Arrow fandom a TON. Bonus points for bringing Matt Ryan back.

* Katie Cassidy/Black Siren being announced to return for the finale of Season 5 of Arrow, and then the news that she was upped to Series Regular status of Season 6!

* [[spoiler: Oh dear Chase has captured all of Oliver's team and is holding his son as a hostage. He'll need to recruit some unlikely people to help like Malcolm Merlyn and Nyssa Al Ghul man that's awesome....wait is that SLADE WILSON?!]] Cue big fandom squee!

* It takes until "Fighting Fire with Fire" near the end of Season 5, but Curtis [[spoiler: finally gets his T-spheres, officially [[TakeALevelInBadass taking a level in badass]] and becoming the Mr. Terrific fans have been waiting for.]] Especially considering that he's been criticized since his introduction for being an AdaptationalWimp.

* As of the season five mid-season finale, three words: [[spoiler:Laurel. Is. Back.[[note]]Then promptly undone by the preview for the next episode revealing it's really Earth-2 Laurel pulling a DeadPersonImpersonation[[/note]]]]

* The revelation that the producers consider {{Nightwing}} the holy grail of DC characters that they'd want for an appearance on the show. Whilst it's unlikely that it'll happen due to the Batman/Superman movie and ''Gotham'', much like the ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'' keeping Bruce Wayne out of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', that the producers want the character to appear was a source of rejoicing for fans.

* John Constantine is not only making an appearance, but will also play a key part in [[spoiler: Sara Lance's]] resurrection, pleasing the Constantine fandom a TON. Bonus points for bringing Matt Ryan back.
