Arrow has been so busy casting new characters for the show that I’ve fallen behind in announcing all of them! Not that I’m required too. It’s not like Arrow is slipping me any money to be the geek blog that announces these castings. And it’s not like I have a secret source in Hollywood that gives me any scoops. Sometimes I just like talking about casting choices. For example, actor Matt Ward has been cast as Komodo, a brand new villain that I think first showed up in GA comics earlier this year. That’s pretty cool. And I think Manhunter, another superhero, was also cast a few weeks ago. It’s getting out of control!

Just announced today is Amy Gumenick cast as Cupid, a character introduced a few years ago, and created by Arrow executive producer Andrew Kreisberg.

Should be fun. I don’t know anything about either of them, but awesome nonetheless.

Also announced this week was the recasting of Katana. No longer will she be Devon Aoki from Sin City. Instead, Katana will be played by Rila Fukushima from The Wolverine.

That should also be pretty fun! I liked Rila in The Wolverine.

Unfortunately, despite this flurry of casting, the people at Arrow have yet to cast the one character we’re all dying to see. I’m speaking, of course, about the best new character introduced in the New 52 so far.

Drum roll, please.

Make it happen, Kreisberg!
