Arrow - Season 3 - Superhero Fight Club Promo - Posters *Updated*
Apr 20, 2015
ArrowUpdate - 20th April: Al Sa-Her poster added. Thanks to Koky for the heads up.
only these two? No shots of Barry? Malcolm? Ra's?
ReplyDeleteBarry already has one, tagged under The Flash. I'm more surprised Laurel doesn't have one. She's not my favorite, but she's a masked hero, which seems to be the requirement here - where's her poster, CW?
ReplyDeleteThe Flash poster looked good to me, but these two look a bit like they are at a cosplay disco dance party.
ReplyDeletelol I was thinking exactly that
ReplyDeleteI get that but dude seriously stop hogging the spotlight lol
ReplyDeleteI can't stop laughing lol
ReplyDeleteDo you really need an answer for that?
ReplyDeletebut you were absolutely right, he would totally be that douchebag that always jumps into the shot when a photographer is taking a shot with you and 3 of your friends
ReplyDeleteBecause fans would rip it appart for not really any reason?
ReplyDeleteNo because she's a woman.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised he's not making bunny ears for Oliver or Roy.
ReplyDeleteI doubt :(
ReplyDeleteUrgh-Go away Roy!
ReplyDeleteI love you Roy Harper.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha photobomb!
ReplyDeleteBarry doesn't have one. That poster is for tonight's episode my guess is his n Laurel's will be released later today or sometime tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWith the peace sign!! With a big ass grin. LOL!! That would be the only time he'd stop running. Lmaoooo omg that's so Barry.
ReplyDeleteNah, no way they'd rip it appart if it was Felicity or Sara
ReplyDeleteHeyyyyy did you watch that video???? Should I put it here?? Omg I should put it here!! Did you watch it?? Do you want me to put it here?? Maybe I should go get it. LOL Brb.
ReplyDeleteWait! What video?
ReplyDeleteIf they were afraid of that they wouldn't have put her in the promo in the first place.
ReplyDeleteHere it is!! How HOT is this trailer!! I'm so proud of this person. I mean damn!! I watched it about 5 Times last night. (I also have a theory, which iI will share once your done with this video.)
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW1_UbkkFVo&feature=youtube_gdata_player
well it's a mask-club meetup. Sara's dead and Felicity isn't a mask-wearer. Laurel is. That's the reason she's there I guess.
ReplyDeleteWhat actually confuses me is how we didn't get posters featuring the others. Now we finally have Barrowman at a photoshoot and still don't get a poster featuring him. Same goes for Ra's, Captain Cold, Heatwave and all the villains....or the ATOM for that matter....or Firestorm...or everyone but Barry/Oliver/Roy
Beautiful video but UGH Ray UGH. There are some AMAZING vids, that fandom has some very talented people. So what's the theory?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. Also where is Nyssa?
ReplyDeleteEven better question, if Ra's is there why isn't she?
ReplyDeleteAlso it seemed as if Robbie Amell wasn't even on set for the video, it was just a rotoscoped shot of him turning around, same for Tom Cavanagh (the Reverse Flash was blurred)
So the whole thing was one big con?
ReplyDeleteWhy is there no Laurel poster? They went this far to make a costume only promo and costume only posters then why is Laurel avoided? The only female hero in the show right now. I really dislike the way CW promotes Arrow.
ReplyDeletenot really, they had quite a lot of original actors for the size of the promo. Imagine how hard it has to be to get actors that are already shooting a show 24/7 on set for a promo video featuring all them fighting. Who cares if Cavanagh and Amell weren't actually there, their characters were.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that this does suggest is that a.) either they weren't available or b.) Eobard will go back to his old body and they don't want to spoil this c.) Robbie Amell not being signed on for the spin-off makes a bit more sense now
^
ReplyDeletethey had ALL of these actors on set and we only got the three already most publicesed characters on posters.
I'd die if they released on huge cast portrait with all of them in the ring...god...how amazing would that be? But for now we'll have to be content with...the overexposed ones.
The thing about Laurel is probably that they don't want to rehash the poster fiasco from earlier this season
Wasn't that shot after the Heroes and Villains panel? They were all there so it wasn't that hard to shoot the promo. The fact that Diggle wasn't included is also insulting since he was in the panel. I think Robbie was promoting The Duff at the time so he wasn't free to shoot it.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't shot there, you can't just shoot such a promo on the go without massive work before that. The entire sequence seems to have been shot at one well lit sound stage.
ReplyDeleteSo probably not shot right after any panel, I'd guess it was shot in early march
I love this video. It was her first one too! How crazy is that. I hope TPTB has seen this. If not, THEY MUST! I swear I could watch it til Flash comes on tonight.
ReplyDeleteOk anyway my theory...since F18 takes place before Arrow18. I'm thinking this is how it went down. They went to CC to help with the suit. (Suit gets fixed. Or so we thought until Oliver shut that stupid suit down) The dinner didn't go as planned. (It was basically the dinner date from hell for w/e reason.) And Felicity started second guessing her relationship with Ray during the trip home. Now they're back in SC. (As we see at the end of Arrow18) BUT when they got attacked, he saved her life, so she felt worried and definitely obligated not to break up with him. She decided to stick with him, especially in his time of need. (but she still cared for him, so it wasn't like, shit i have to stick this out a little longer thing) However, when Ray shouted out the ILY, Felicity realized yes this isn't right. (Hence the freak out and Mom talk) Sooo when we see Arrow 19 this wed. Felicity is actually breaking up with Ray in this episode. That's my theory.
Yeah keep on blaming fans for the way CW operates. Its never their fault. Its fans who strong arm them into not promoting Laurel. They had no problem making a promo with only costumed people. I didn't see them taking a poll before that.
ReplyDeletewho else to blame it on? Sexism within theCW HQ?
ReplyDeleteWhy not? Isn't it sexism on their part? The only female super hero in that ad is avoided in posters this week. Barry, Oliver, Roy and even Ray (3 days left) got a poster. The only other hero who got avoided was Firestorm. But he is a recurring character. I disliked the costume ad. But I dislike this even more.
ReplyDeletemaybe you got a point there. However I'll stick with my suspicion that they just want to avoid another social media drama
ReplyDeleteRay got a poster?
If it makes you happy go with it. Not a poster poster for Ray but his image was used for the count down thing. Well laurel was also used there. But she was not in costume. She is a regular in this show. If they are this scared of what people say in social media then they have no business in this industry.

Timeline wise this episode doesn't fit anywhere in episodes 17 and 18 (action or romantic wise) but for the sake of my sanity I'm going to believe that this episode happened after Oliver disabled the suit and before the attack in the mayor's office. And I'm hoping Barry says something to Felicity about Oliver (he has to defend his bro!). Anyway I agree that they will break up in episode 19 (everyone is actually looking forward to that scene). The question here, does Ray acknowledge the fact that he knows who the Arrow is or not?
ReplyDeleteI never said it was a promo on the go. They probably prepared for it a lot but they filmed it during that panel since everyone was already there. They timed it.
ReplyDeleteFor the sake of this F**ked up TL, this happened BEFORE. (Although it doesn't fit b/c there wasn't time) But that's just my take on it. It cushions the blow. That's a good question, that unfortunately won't be answered til tonight. BUT I will say, in this episode, IF Ray knows Oliver's identity in this episode, then you're right, it's after the events of the shooting/hospital scenes. If Ray doesn't know, then I'm right, and it happened before. I have no doubt that Barry will put Felicity aside and talk to him. In fact, I feel Barry will have something to do with it once he sees this Ray, (ugh) and not be too forth coming. But be more like, "Wait what? Who's this guy?" = /
ReplyDeleteLol well then they shouldn't have invited a man who can move as fast as light. He is the fastest man alive after all.
ReplyDeleteWe'll find out in 3 and a half hours. Also might I add, UGH Ray UGH! He has to, bros before Ray lol
ReplyDeleteIt was filmed at the TCAs. The promo was filmed by Glen Winter. He was busy with shooting the Supergirl pilot in March.
ReplyDeleteWe get it, Barry, we get it! You're fast :P
ReplyDeleteHe loves the spotlight though. He's a complete fanboy that loves being who he is. More people in the "Flarrowverse" that needs to act like this.
ReplyDeleteUgh. 5:15 unbelievable . i would love to sleep til then. BOTH teams before him. Hell the girls too.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to sleep but I can't turn my brain off :(
ReplyDeleteNo sleep here. I'm too awake. You might as well stay awake, you're too wired.
ReplyDeleteSo how to pass the time?
ReplyDeleteThat was hot Shannon..... really well put together, thanks. =)
ReplyDeleteRight??? I didn't make it. But I wish I had. So glad you enjoyed it. It really was put together nicely. Very tasteful. = )
ReplyDeleteI actually fell asleep for an hour. LOL It's 6:45 now. I woke 30 min ago.
ReplyDeleteSure, I know you didn't make it, but you posted it for us.... I makes me want to take the pins out of my Felicity doll. lol I swear one more ride on Ray's rocket and I was scratching her off the Christmas list for good. =)
ReplyDeleteTraitor lol
ReplyDeleteI didn't know. It just happened. I'm sorry. I think it was the snack.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahahahah!! Did you see my theory? How anxious are you for tonight? What are your thoughts about it?
ReplyDeleteYea, I excited ... about 37 min..... Ray flys into STAR labs, so that tells me either he fix the suit enough to fly or F18 takes place before A17 in the time line with Oliver F-ing it up.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Barry is going to bend Felicity's ear about WTF are you doing with this guy. lol I know I shouldn't dislike Ray as much as I do, but damn the guy is so pretentious he comes off as an asshat most of the time IMO =) Felicity is the only one that can keep him in check with his "smartest guy in the room" BS
Enjoy tonight....;)))
"I know I shouldn't dislike Ray as much as I do." You're not the only one. I loathe him. The episode was complete crap, I couldn't even enjoy my favorite characters, idk what this was, but it wasn't Flash-esque in the least bit. I wish this episode would've never aired. It was boring. I already left my comment. Can't. Wait to read yours after you've watched.
ReplyDeleteI don't post on Flash threads a lot or Arrow.(too many irons in the fire).... I honestly still don't know where this episode falls in the crossover timeline, but it was a turd in the punch bowl....
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with all the terrible lines "Ray the tool" gets, they come off dorky, not funny.... "I have trouble keeping it up"..... "I never had anyone take a bee for me"
Felicity..... calling Ray sweetie and draping herself all over him this ep...."It's like I'm dating Barry in Oliver's body" WTF.... Maybe I should stay away from CW shows....seems they have a nack for making me dislike a character I started out loving....the triangle carp sucks, the way they write it. Does JP consult on all the shows? lol
What an instant man-crush Cisco had on Ray.....I expect he'll get a sex change and want Ray's babies....:)) They finished sentances for each other the whole episode. It was a geek love fest. Don't get me wrong I like Cisco (what a great name for a Geek =) .
Seems to the the crossover had two goals.....break up Iris/Eddie and out Wells....so I guess it was a success in that respect..... I know I'm probably in the minority but I really don't want Iris with Barry.... she made her choice...
I hope the second half of the crossover tonight is better, but I think this one will leave that taste in my mouth too..... Their going to have Felicity and Oliver hook up and make her look a little Elena-ish.....at least Oliver and Ray aren't brothers....hahahhahah
Barry sweetie seriously! I'm starting to get sick of you!!
ReplyDeleteEhh, I don't like ANY of Malcolm's poster. I only like Barry's grin in the background.
ReplyDeleteSurprised he hasn't bunny ears'd yet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he's saving it for Ra's lol
ReplyDeleteI hope it's just the marketing department not wanting a twitter blow up. But I hope it turn out it's just late. A Black Canary one would be cool. Plus sexism not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteSilly....whatever unpaid intern is operating that account. There is no Arsenal in this picture, It's Flash, Black Canary and Arrow.
ReplyDeleteHe should do like a devil horn variation then.
ReplyDeleteHe's fighting them in the promo.
ReplyDeleteBarry has one it was released a while ago. It was the first I believe.
ReplyDeleteSo. They're describing the promo and no the just released poster.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that makes sense.
Yeah they are; that's why it was followed by a link to the promo.
ReplyDeleteWho would win a fight, Barry with his full powers or Ra's?
ReplyDeleteI just DO NOT understand this promo.
ReplyDeleteBarry. Barry at his peak could potentially beat Superman's ass.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? I would like to see that.
ReplyDeleteThat's the point. It's just a silly fun promo. Don't look for a context because there's none.
ReplyDeleteI guess he's on every poster thanks to The Flash being so successfull, so they shoehorn him onto every poster to attract potential viewers
ReplyDeleteKinda like the writing all season then...
ReplyDeleteYeah he can move faster than Supes and with the infinite mass punch and properly timed phasing he could knock him out (or at least do some damage). If it were drawn out though Supes would win.
ReplyDeleteThen why not do the same with Oliver in the Flash posters to attract some of the Flash viewers?
ReplyDeleteBarrowman looks gorgeous in that poster.
ReplyDeletewell, Oliver is already a rather popular character? Ah, I dunno. I'm just glad we finally got a Merlyn poster
ReplyDeleteWell Roy is on Barry's.
ReplyDeleteSo they put the character that was going to leave the show :\
ReplyDeleteBecause Barry would be tired?
ReplyDeleteAt least someone is happy.
ReplyDeleteIt's more because Superman is basically god-like. He's too strong, tough, heals too quickly and can shoot fire or freeze Barry.
ReplyDeleteThen why did his a** got handed to him earlier? lol
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. She is the only female costumed hero in both shows. I don't give much importance to that. Apparently they does. So the promo. To cut her out when Oliver and Roy get one its ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteBecause Barry could with his speed catch him by surprise and deliver a punishing attack but he wouldn't be down for long. Basically Barry could evade him, but if he got close or wasn't careful Superman would beat him.
ReplyDeleteThey sure as hell are going to give her a poster too, they seem to be doing one for every character
ReplyDeleteHopefully they'll release one soon.
ReplyDeleteI see. It sounds like a really fun fight. Wish I could see it somehow. I saw the animated episode when they were racing around the world and it was really fun.
ReplyDeleteIt would be awesome. But I'd love a Superman Martian Manhunter fight. They're basically at the same level so I would be brutally awesome.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! That would be really funny. LOL LOL!!! Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteThat would be seriously cool. Nerd coma guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteI knew I'd start something with that phrase.
ReplyDeleteReally?!!! Now even Malcolm has one but Laurel Lance the only costumed female hero in this universe would not have even one. I hate you CW marketing team.
ReplyDeleteYUP :D
ReplyDeleteI have to say Malcolm poster is better than Oliver and Roy's.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope they are saving it for another week. It looks really bad on them when they are not really promoting the only masked female hero.
ReplyDeleteMega Facepalm.
ReplyDeleteOverheard in the writer's room...
ReplyDeleteGuggenheim: "Wouldn't it be cool if "
Voice of Reason: "But, that doesn't really fit with the overall story arc...."
Guggenheim: "Story schmory....it'll look SO COOL guys!!! Also epic....and game-changing"
I think you should really give Superman:TAS, and JL. A shot. I think you may really quite enjoy it. At least give it a scan. It's not gonna hurt. Throw Batman Beyond and Batman: Under the Red Hood in there while you're at it. BUTRH doesn't really go with the point I'm trying to make but I just really love that freaking movie. Lol I really want you to watch it. Lol
ReplyDeleteGuggenheim: "The show will never be the same."
ReplyDeleteVoice of Reason: "Will the The plot holes and plot convenience vanish. "
Guggenheim: "Well... No.."
Voice of Reason: "Characters will stop acting ooc right?"
Guggenheim: "Uhm.. Nope not that either."
Voice of Reason: "The script will start making some sense?"
Guggenheim: "Erm.. Not that either. Just know the show will never be the same."
Voice of Reason: " So it will all be the same *sigh*"
Now I think they will release it before episode 3x21 if they do as it is a Laurel heavy episode. They should have released it with Oliver and Roy. They released Barry's then too. Today they released Malcolm and Reverse Flash. Even villains get preference over female heroes.
ReplyDeleteBravo! *applauds*
ReplyDeleteSince they are trickling out two or three a week, with Reverse-Flash and Dark Archer posted today, I suspect Black Canary will appear before long.
ReplyDeleteI hope so. :)
ReplyDeleteHey it's a thing.
ReplyDeleteSure Graydon. Lol
ReplyDeleteEveryone check your DVR as tomorrow "The Flash" is prempted due to baseball ... make sure you have 'it' programmed for the other 8pm CW afiliate.
ReplyDeleteHahaha Superman and JL sure I will give them a try. But anything Batman related sorry the answer is nope lol
ReplyDeleteMine still says The Flash. Thank god! If that game airs tomorrow, I'm gonna bust!!
ReplyDeleteFair enough. But BUTRH is Sooo good. May I also suggest Hulk VS Thor and Hulk VS Wolverine. I liked Hulk vs Wolverine much better, but they're both enjoyable.
ReplyDeletespot on lol
ReplyDeleteIt's airing tomorrow. You just have your DVR set for the right CW afiliate.
ReplyDeleteWhat station do you get it on where you are at ?
If it airs tomorrow. The guide won't change for me til later. My dvr is already set, for these types of situations, so i'm good on the backup. (I've more than one). I get mine on PIX 11.;
ReplyDeleteThat is the station that is airing it well WGN is not. So I had to set mine for PIX 11.
ReplyDeleteI figured. But for now it says Flash. Guess I'll be disappointed tomorrow. Smh
ReplyDeleteI can understand the reasoning behind Laurel's lack of a poster but why does Roy have one when he isn't even on the show anymore. They took so long to get these posters out that because of the plot line now one of the characters is gone. For people who are excited to see Roy on the show its false advertising.
ReplyDelete
