There’s lots to love in the first trailer for Arrow season 4.
Here’s what we found…
TheArrowseason 4 trailer hit us like a pounding from the League of Assassins.
It also packed a bunch of DC Comics lore into its relatively modest two minute running time.
Wait, whats that?
You havent watched theArrowseason 4 trailer yet?
Allow us to fix that.
Then keep reading for all the good stuff that we found in it.
Speaking of domestic bliss, the Olicity fans should be quite happy with the start of this season.
Okay, now on to the good stuff…

The Star City name change is now official.
We knew it was coming, but now theres a real reason for it.
Im willing to bet that Ray has just shrunk down to subatomic size and nobody can find him.
Oh, and they have a friend.
With the visor down, Diggles Magneto mask looks a bit more like Joe Simon and Jack Kirbys Guardian.
These soldier goons appear to be agents of HIVE.
In the original comics, HIVE stood for Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Extermination.
Something tells me that the show will pick something a little more subtle.
Some more HIVE goons for you.
Heres the new Green Arrow suit, complete with actual green arrows!
It seems like Felicity is behind the design of this one, which is kinda cool.
I wonder if she enlisted any help from the Flash team at STAR Labs, too… Gotta love it.
Heres Echo Kellum as Michael Holt.
Michael Holt eventually becomes the superhero known as Mr. Holt is a genius level intellect, probably surpassing Ray Palmer and Felicity.
Maybe Felicity helps design them here on the show!
Is this a welcome sight or is this a welcome sight?
Matt Ryan is back as John Constantine, cigarettes and all.
Speaking of which…
Caity Lotz will return as Sara Lance.
This shot is probably also from episode 5, The Haunting.
Although maybe he has a good reason for sucker pistol whipping Diggle here that we dont know about.
Shes right, by the way.
This is acting like some kind of terrorist attack or attempted assassination at a mass transit depot.
Note the sign for the Central City Orbiter.
She is also a mother, and cares for her daughter above all else.
Danforth first appears in season 4 episode 2, so this shot is probably from there.
Here he is having a chat with Damian Darhk.
This may or may not be Anarky using a flamethrower to give everyone a headache.
This is Double Down, a really minor Flash villain who has tattoos that can be used as weapons.
I dont think well be seeing him in more than one episode.
Im going to wager that this is a flashback sequence.
Was Ollie already experimenting with his vigilante archer identity back when he was spending time in Coast City?
If so, who is he confronting here?
Theres also a chance that Green Lantern will show up while theyre in Coast City.
I only included this shot of Team Arrow making an iconic superhero entrance via skylight because its badass.
But its not as badass as…
Heres a shot of Felicity firing a machine gun.
Because its Felicity firing a machine gun, thats why.
Your argument is invalid.
Arrowseason 4 premieres on October 7th.
Ill be here overanalyzing every frame of every episode for you.
