Season 4 of Arrow kicks off on Wednesday, October 7th, the day after The Flash has its season opener, and both shows look like they are up-leveling their game. That makes sense, since they have cranked up the tension each season from the beginning, and since they are building towards next year’s Legends Of Tomorrow. Both with these series and with the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad movies, it looks like DC is finally going to give Marvel a serious fight for the hearts and minds of the audience. I for one hope the competition stays intense for many years to come, if it causes both teams to keep cranking out quality science fiction of this caliber.
