Arrow Season 3 Episode 1 will air on October 8, 2014, at its regular Wednesday 8:00 PM time slot on the CW network. Entitled "The Calm," the season's first episode "opens with the Arrow now a hero to the citizens of Starling." Lance who will have become a police captain calls off the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. Lulled into thinking that things are back to normal, Oliver even asks Felicity for a date. But just as he was getting used to the relative calm, another threat emerges in the city, making him realize that "he can never be Oliver Queen - as long as the city needs the Arrow."
Arrow Season 3 will see six new characters being introduced in the CW's top-rated series: "Ray Palmer" who will become the new CEO of Queen Consolidated and possibly Felicity's new love interest; "Seth" who is a chemical genius who develops a drug which can drain people's willpower; "Maseo Yamashiro," a character from Oliver's past who was his friend and teacher in Hong Kong; "Tatsu Yamashiro aka Katana," another character from the past who was Maseo's wife and Oliver's handler; "Werner Zytle aka Vertigo" who will become the new dealer of the drug vertigo; "Ted Grant aka Wildcat," a gym owner for underprivileged kids and a former boxer who will cross path with Lance; and "Mark Shaw aka Manhunter," an A.R.G.U.S. operative who will cross path with Diggle.
Of the Arrow Season 3 spoilers, none probably beats executive producer Marc Guggenheim revelation at last week's San Diego Comic-Con that Batman's nemesis Ra's al Ghul will also be on his way to Starling City. But as he clarified to Hollywood Reporter, "We have a really clever way of doing Ra's this year that is true to the comic-book origins but different from the way Ra's was portrayed in the Nolan movies. You don't want to compete with Batman Begins, even though we've always said Batman Begins was a big influence on us. We really wanted our Ra's to be very different - at least our own Arrow-ified version."
Any other Arrow Season 3 spoilers? Stephen Amell who plays the title role told Comic Book, "Suit upgrade is coming. There is going to be new stuff added to the suit at some point this season."
