DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE

PRESENTS​

​

BILLY BATSON AND THE MAGIC OF SHAZAM​

Following a surprising blockbuster success story of the Aquaman sequel which was perceived as a huge improvement on the middling first instalment. The second film of the third chapter of the DC Extended Universe would serve as an introduction of a character who had received prominent feature in the previous iteration of the DC Universe. As we would see the origin story for the character of Billy Batson (Finn Wolfhard) and his transition into the superhero Shazam. We would start however not with an origin of Billy Batson, but instead in a big shift from many movies which start with a heroes origin. Our opening scenes would instead serve to introduce Dr. Thadeus Sivana (Christopher Eccleston). Revealed to be afflicted with a crippling genetic condition which would not only claim his life but potentially his families later on. Dr. Sivana who was once one of sciences finest minds in desperation would search the world for any kind of a cure. Shown to be a brilliant mind but someone who from a young age had battled being perceived as a weak. Dr. Sivana was someone who never quite truly felt like he was good enough. Turning his back on Science and medicine, Dr. Sivana would in an effort to save himself and his family begin exploring magic and mysticism. This would see him begin to investigate the story of Black Adam. Described as a former slave who was given the power of the gods when he truly needed them in order to save his people. Dr. Sivana became obsessed with this legend as he studied this phenomena, Sivana would hear stories of a wizard appearing before others in an attempt to pass on his powers. Determined that Black Adam was his means to find a cure and save him and his family. Dr. Sivana would begin using his fast resources to travel the world as he hunted for the tomb of Black Adam. This would take him to Baghdad where he believed the tomb was held and he would fund a private expedition and dig in an effort to locate Black Adam's tomb. On locating the tomb however Sivana would find himself faced with a new issue. As there was multiple inscriptions on how to open the tomb but none were in a language which Sivana could understand or translate. Lashing out and cursing the gods, Sivana's words would come back to bite him as a freak storm would trigger almost like a wrath of the gods. These freak storm like events would see many of Sivana's hired help killed while a bolt of lightning struck Sivana through the eye. This however would allow Sivana to read and understand magic including the language on Black Adam's tomb. Specifically that Black Adam would only rise when a true challenger to him would be found. However while his mission to awaken Black Adam may not have proven successful, Sivana's new gifts would afford him with an opportunity to seek out others who may have the power to save him. We would then transition to the origin story of Billy Batson starting by meeting his parents Marilyn Batson (Riki Lindhome) and Sinclair Batson (Jim Cummings). While Marilyn was shown to be an idealistic young woman who wanted nothing more than to provide the best for her son Billy. Sinclair was shown to be a selfish and greedy individual who would do anything in order to make quick money. This included Sinclair accepting a job for Thadeus Sivana and dragging Marilyn with him. His plan however would be to rip off and rob the Doctor and his plan would prove successful until the freak storm ran the couple off the road killing them instantly and leaving a young Billy as an orphan. Spending a lot of time in care home after care home. Billy was sadly very much a project of the system and someone who constantly would be in trouble as he was an angry young man who never processed his grief. Despite this anger, Billy deep down was a good kid who always looked to do the right thing. However he was shown to frequently be on the run as he looked to escape the homes. This would be until he was taken in by Rosa (Vanessa Rubio) and Victor (Rodrigo Santoro) Vasquez. A caring and loving couple who wanted to provide some love and stability to Billy as they had many others. Billy at first would be resistant to this when he'd be introduced to the other children that the Vasquez family had taken in. We'd start with the eldest Mary Broomfield (Maya Hawke), a student looking to start the next chapter of her life at university. Mary in many ways was shown to be an attentive caretaker who would prove to be a responsible and wise figure. Along with Mary would be Freddy Freeman (Jaeden Martell) with whom Billy would form a close bond with. A fellow troublemaker and very much a class clown. Freddy was shown to be a boisterous and thrill seeking individual at the times at the cost of his own welfare. Following Freddy would be the youngest child Darla Dudley (Priah Ferguson) who was very much a sweet and affectionate character who was always there for the rest of her siblings with her positive approach. The remaining two siblings would be Pedro Pena (Nathan Arenas), a shy and quiet individual despite his large stature and Eugene Choi (Nathaniel Oh) who was a smart and tech savvy young man. Despite his hesitancy Billy would form close bonds with all the other siblings but he still couldn't stop himself from his worser instincts and would often flee the home to wonder through the night and travel on the trains. This would be until one fateful night when the train would flash lights of green and come to a halt. Stepping off the train and out into a dark underground throne. Billy Batson would be met by a mysterious individual who introduced himself to Billy only as The Wizard (Tony Shalhoub). Introducing his full name as Mamaragan, The wizard would introduce Billy to the Rock of eternity as he revealed that this was once where the circle of eternity was based before they were all struck down by Black Adam. Now the sole survivor of this collective, The Wizard would reveal that he had been heavily weakened and his mortal form was perishing. This is why he needs a champion and believes Billy to be worthy. While at first he may have been dubious, Billy would see this as a chance to make his mother proud and do some good leading to him accepting the offer. This in turn would see the Wizard pass on his powers to Billy before his mortal form would disappear. In turn the Wizard would appear to Billy as a spirit and protector of the Rock of Eternity who would serve to mentor Billy and his new powers when he uttered the word Shazam. After the Wizard would tell him of his history and his purpose, Billy would return home to the Vasquez family. Here Billy was confronted by a concerned Rosa who had been calling the police while Victor had been out searching for him. After a heart felt apology, Billy would be forgiven and welcomed into the home. While Billy however seemed to grow closer with his family. A stark contrast would be Dr. Sivana's journey. Seemingly growing stronger and more capable of mystic arts himself, Sivana had found himself a new mentor and ally in his journey. This would be an alien by the name of Mister Mind (Peter Weller). The evil space worm similar to Sivana on his own would be lacking but together they had a plan to gain power. This would see Mind enter the minds of people who had encountered the wizard at the rock of eternity. In doing so they would find the keys to the door or the symbols which would allow them to enter but their journey would see them confronted by the Wizard. Despite his mortal form being gone, the Wizard still had many gifts and would banish the pair to another realm. Unfortunately for the Wizard in this rash decision, he would put Dr. Sivana before the Seven Deadly Sins. The ancient evil spirits would play on Sivana and his desperation and insecurities. This would lead to Sivana agreeing to become their champion as they looked to defeat the Wizard's Champion in an effort to become free. While Sivana would accept this offer we'd see his priorities become jaded as he went from saving himself and his family to instead defeating the Wizard's champion. Billy meanwhile would begin to train and get used to his abilities. Showing his trust in Freddy, Billy would confide in Freddy and show him his abilities and capabilities which Freddy thought was fantastic. Billy soon would begin to help out around the city as a local hero but it wouldn't be long for him to get his very first opponent. This would be a man known as James Barr/Bullet Man (Austin Amelio) who was shown to be a desperate and misguided former police detective who stole some experimental technology which made him move and have the power of a bullet. During his first conflict with Bullet Man who was shown to be a bank robber, Billy in his hero guise would see the good in Barr and attempt to talk him round. While Barr at first would be resistant to this over the course of their battle, he would come to see the danger he had put others in the bank. Wanting the money to change his life but acknowledging this is not the way to do it. Barr would surrender to Billy and the police. His exploits in this would see Billy's heroism begin to be more noted as social influencer Desiree Anderson (Coco Jones) would begin to report on his exploits. Showing his naivety behind the heroic figure, Billy would allow Desiree to continue profiling him which would draw the attention of police detective Muscles McGinnis (Colm Meaney). The former detective partner of Barr, Muscles was not a fan of superheroes or those with enhancements believing them to be in the way of good police work and he would personally want to see to it that this hero was stopped. One consequence of Billy's hero growing notoriety was that his exploits would draw the attention of Sivana. Recognizing the powers of this hero now being called Shazam as the capabilities of the Wizard's champion. In turn Sivana would arrive in Fawcett City fully intent of bringing an end to the Wizard's champion. It wouldn't be hard for Sivana to locate Billy either as thanks to his immaturity, Billy would let the fame go to his head a little and have Desiree profile his many acts of heroism. With Mister Mind keeping watch of the socials, Sivana would manage to find Billy who was being referred to as Shazam. It would be in this battle that Billy was humbled and brought back to reality as in Sivana he found himself an opponent who he couldn't just rely on his powers with. Quickly overwhelmed Billy would only be rescued by the efforts of the Wizard who pulled him to the rock of eternity. Mulling that he should not have trusted a child to do this on his own. Billy would then face the realization that before when the Wizard faced a great threat he wasn't alone either and so Billy recognized that he needed help. With Sivana threatening Fawcett City until the hero appeared once more, Billy in his hero form would contact Freddy before he'd appear before his siblings. Billy would bring them to the rock of eternity and while the wizard may have had some misgivings he would agree to help as Billy asked his family for help. In a true bonding moment we'd see the siblings one by one agree. With that the wizard would complete a process in which all the family would be outfitted by his powers. It would then be Freddy who asked about names for the group and while Billy was forced to go with the name of Shazam, Freddy would become the first ever Captain Marvel. Mary meanwhile would don the name Mary Marvel while Darla become Lady Shazam. Pedro would become Lieutenant Marvel while lastly Eugene would become the hero known as Captain Thunder. Quickly we would also see each of the siblings would use their own grasp of their powers with Darla being the fastest and Pedro being the strongest while Eugene was the fastest to pick up the electrical abilities. Returning to a ravaged Fawcett city, the Shazam family would quickly prove themselves to be worthy heroes as they rescued many would be victims of Sivana. This included Muscles McGinnis and James Barr which caused McGinnis to change his mind on the heroes. Releasing Barr and having him use his gifts for good to save others, McGinnis and the police force focused on vacating the city while the Shazam family went to Sivana. Having completely lost his way and forsaken his earlier goals. Sivana now relished the chance to combat the wizard's champions as he was corrupted by the sins. In the ensuing battle we would see Sivana was truly as strong as the shazam family. As the battle wore on however we'd see Billy mature into a leadership role and while Freddy managed to distract Sivana, Mary was the first one to note that while they all coexisted and worked together. There was no harmony inside Sivana and his symbiotic relationship with the sins. Recognizing that this could be preyed upon, Billy and the family would begin to exploit the characteristics of the sins. This would cloud Sivana's mind and judgement as the sins would all begin to fight among one another and allow the Wizard to cast a spell breaking the chain of command between Sivana and the sins. His powers stripped, Sivana would collapse from his weakened state as Fawcett City was saved. With Sivana put in a comatose state while doctors looked to treat him for his condition. Desiree Anderson would begin to profile the superhero family as a whole. This mission would firmly bring Billy and his siblings together as they all banded together to enter this new stage of their lives. While they may not have known about their children's secrets, Rosa and Victor were very happy to see their kids all bonded and Billy now fitting into the family. As the movie would begin to wrap up we would see Mister Mind having escaped the encounter with the Shazam family plotting his next move while the Wizard would begin to mentor Eugene who he saw as a worthy student. Freddy meanwhile would show himself to be very excited to become a hero as he constantly was out on the streets as Captain Marvel. Mary meanwhile in a tease for things to come would begin to pack as she readied herself for an exciting next step in her life as she looked to head to university. This would bring the film to an end but before the credits ended, we wold go back to the tomb of Black Adam where some noticeable cracks would begin to appear! ​

GREEN ARROW II: THE SOUNDS OF VIOLENCE​

As we ae still in the early portion of the third chapter of the DC Extended Universe. A much anticipated sequel would be the next movie in line as we would follow on from the Highly successful Quiver debut of the Green Arrow with a exciting sequel entitled the Sounds of Violence. Like most of the stories we've had in the DC Extended Universe as part of this third chapter, this would very much be a direct continuation of the third Justice League movie as we'd see like many of the team Oliver Queen (Alexander Ludwig) was also rattled by his encounter with the forces of Apokolips. Unlike some of the others however Oliver actually showed some maturation from his time in the league. As while still a brash figure, Oliver would confide his team and how he felt being so outnumbered and out powered. This would only further strengthen his bond with John Diggle (Laz Alonzo) and Felicity Smoak (Alexis Knapp). Yet it had to be noted that there was still some separation between Oliver and the newest addition to the team Laurel Lance (Blake Lively). Similar to Oliver, Laurel was someone who was haunted by her past and trauma. Yet unlike Oliver, Laurel still was having issues letting her walls down and trusting others. We would see however some growth in Team Arrow and this would be through Felicity. While Felicity of course now was on the straight and narrow, we'd learn that she did have a criminal past once as a hacker and through this had some contacts namely Samantha Clayton/Jax (Maude Apatow). While a shady individual in her own right Clayton would prove an asset to Oliver and his team as she was shown to be a skilled technician in her own right as she served as the teams armorer. This was further on display as she helped design a new suit not just for Oliver and Laurel but also for Diggle as he fully embraced the moniker of Freelancer. While Felicity would also embrace the codename with the moniker of Overwatch. Rounding out team Arrow for now would be detective Mack Morgan (Joseph Gordon Levitt). Still shown to be working alongside the team in secret. Mack Morgan couldn't help but wonder if in someway making the city better by removing the Dark Archer and his grasp on the city. Did they in others make it worse, this would include Mayor Bolt (Boris McGiver). While in private mayor Bolt may have been a supporter of the vigilantes. In the open Bolt was shown to be a terrified and shameless politician who was under the firm orders of a criminal cabal under the leadership of China White (Summer Glau). Also working alongside China White would be Moira Queen (Paige Turco). While unaware of her son's identity, Moira was heavily involved in this corruption of Star City as it was through her that Adrien Rivers (Cassie Scerbo) was planted in the office to ensure that Bolt followed orders. In fact here it would be a little more depth we saw in Adrien Rivers as we learned that she was in fact a cleaner and fixer who worked for China White who had little qualm in taking a life if necessary. The film would then shift as we went from the corruption of Star City and Team Arrow's side of things to a more personal side to our characters. More focusing on Oliver and Laurel there was however some teases as Diggle for example mentioned in passing encountering an ex girlfriend while also we'd see an early seed of a potential chemistry forming between Oliver and Felicity. We'd see an early focus on the shocking return to star city of Thea Queen (Natalia Dyer). This of course would be one of the more anticipated reunions in the Arrow franchise as Thea was notably missing from the last film. Having been travelling the world in order to escape the reality of her family situation. In her reunion with Oliver it was clear there was some noted feeling out between the pair as neither was the same person they was before Oliver vanished. This would create a noted distance and tension between the pair as we also saw that Oliver did not have an entirely harmonious moment either as their views on the city would cause them conflict. Laurel meanwhile would begin to struggle with her past. Having been in the captivity of Ricardo Diaz (Shemar Moore), Laurel was haunted by the torture she endured and struggled to remember who she was before or how she ended up in Diaz's clutches. While both Diggle and Felicity would attempt to help her in their own ways. It would be two surprising individuals who Laurel formed closer bonds with. One would be Samantha Clayton with whom Laurel formed a bond based in part to their more outlaw like mentalities. However her more notable interactions would be with detective Mack Morgan as it would be noted there was some chemistry between the pair with the duo even agreeing to go on a date. While Laurel would see this spark return in her life. Oliver's life would begin to see more turmoil. This would be thanks to the reemergence of Tommy Merlyn (Oliver Jackson Cohen). At one point Tommy was Oliver's best friend when the pair was growing up. The pair had hosted many parties together but this of course was long before we knew that Tommy's father was the Dark Archer. This would be the first time the pair had seen one another in years. Similar to Oliver's other reunions this would not be a harmonious as it clear that these two were not the same people they was many years before. On top of this Oliver was dubious about Tommy's motivations as Tommy claimed he was in Star City to make amends for the sins of his father and rebuild their families reputation. This included Tommy using his now inherited stake in Queen Consolidated to join the board. He wouldn't be the only familiar face however who would assume a stake in the business as Walter Steele (Chi McBride) would also assume control of his stake. Revealed to be a former friend of Robert Queen, Walter Steele's return to Star City would send some shockwaves through the company. In particular with Zehra Dervish (Shohreh Aghdashloo) who was not thrilled to see Steele back and less trusting when Steele announced a new business partner and potential investor for Queen consolidated in Isabel Rochev (Eliza Dushku). Steele would very much be heavy in praise for Rochev unaware that Rochev was in a secret partnership with China White as a means to gain control of Queen Consolidated. Shown to be a highly intelligent, aggressive and ambitious woman. Isabel would very much enjoy taunting Zehra. This wouldn't be the only new addition we'd also meet as we'd meet a few new faces in the Star City Police Department. The first of which would be Mack Morgan's close friend Andrew Lopez (Brian J White) who in a similar fashion to Mack was shown to be in support of Team Arrow and far from happy with what had transpired Star City. A true believer in the Green Arrow, we'd learn that Lopez while not fully aware of all of Mack's dealings was aware that Mack had worked with the vigilantes previously. In stark contrast to Lopez was Naomi Singh (Simone Ashley). A rising upstart detective with a fearsome reputation thanks to her dogged pursuits. The ambitious detective was a recruit of new police commissioner Briana Nudocero (Pollyana Mcintosh). Having been personally assigned to the department by the mayor. Briana had a zero tolerance stance on vigilantism. At the same time as this crack down we would see Thea begin to go down the wrong path. Clearly troubled at the reemergence of her brother as well as the death of her father. Thea would begin to hang out with some questionable individuals. This would include a petty criminal by the name of Roy Harper (Jacob Bertrand) as well as a fellow socialite Suzanne Jones-King (Alyvia Alyn Lind). In these parties and settings we would see Thea begin to experiment with drug use. As we'd learn similar to Thea, Suzanne had her own troubles putting her down this dark path. The daughter of a furniture magnate by the name of John King (Andrew Howard). While the furniture side of his business may be legitimate. It was also a front for several criminal smuggling outfits. This included drugs, weapons and prostitution. However despite his criminal enterprise King was a relative small fish in the pond and this was very much put on display thanks to the arrival of Jin Fan/The Kraken (Park Hae Soo). A rival of the now fallen Ricardo Diaz, The Kraken was someone who played aggressively an saw the fall of the Dragon as his chance to make a play. In order to do so he would join forces with criminal financier Midas (Brendan Hines) who was once a colleague of King. A violent individual, Kraken was joined by a likeminded individual in Aaron Bird (Justin Harvey). Looking to force King's hand and take over his organization it would be Midas and his knowledge of King which led to Aaron Bird kidnapping Suzanne as a means to force King into their service. This aggressive play would infuriate China White as she could not abide someone taking King's operation before her. In what was one of the more darker threats we've seen The Kraken would force King's compliance by making it clear that refusal would see his daughter become the next product of trafficking. As the crime world would feature this upheaval. We'd also see new faces appear on the streets as rivals to the Arrow. This would include the crazed and maniacal Leapo/Bulls-eye (Mark Musahi). A noted sociopath and killer who was skilled with projectile weaponry, Leapo wished to test his skills against the archer who took down Merlyn. Shown to be putting people at risk in an effort to take down the Arrow. It truly seemed like Leapo would be a formidable threat to Oliver and his team especially after he was able to make a big escape. Which made it all the more shocking when a few scenes later we'd see Leapo dead with a Heart Shaped arrow in his chest. Exposing herself to be crooked Briana wouldn't listen to evidence or the differences in arrows. She pinned all of this to the Green Arrow and would even hold a press conference revealing that a series of similar killings had been taken place. This would cause Oliver to begin researching the Heart Arrows with the help of Mack Morgan. The big intro here would be of reporter Evan Gibson (Austin Nichols). While not a trusted or liked figure by Mack Morgan, it would be Evan who provided some insight to Mack that a series of love letters have been received by his paper for the Arrow. Shifting through these letters, we'd soon learn that Oliver in fact had a stalker. This would very much serve as our introduction to the character of Cupid (Stephanie Hsu). Real name Carrie Cutter, we'd learn that Carrie had become an obsessive stalker following being rescued one night from an attack by the Arrow. We'd see this obsessive stalking go to new heights as the crazed Cupid would begin stalking the Arrow and his circle with a lot of her rage and jealousy being targeted to the Black Canary. Setting her sights on the Black Canary as she'd begin to follow her. Carrie's rage would only grow as she'd learn of Canary's identity and started to make note of Laurel's dealings Mack Morgan. Following Laurel as she'd clearly set her sights on Laurel and not believing she should be happy. Opening fire on the restaurant and numerous dating couples. Cupid would even graze Mack with a shoulder wound as Laurel ushed to his aid. This would infuriate Laurel and her and Lopez would form a bond as they set their sights on bringing down Cupid. While this would strengthen some of Laurel's bonds in the team. It would notably cause some friction between her and Oliver. As Laurel became frustrated that Oliver's time was being more split between his vigilante work and his time at Queen Consolidated. As we'd see the board steadily being taken over by the trio of Isabel Rochev, Walter Steele and Tommy Merlyn. This aggressive attempt at a take over would further cause dissension in Oliver's relationship with Tommy as the pair became more hostile with one another. Aided by Felicity meanwhile, Laurel would go out into the streets and hunt down the delusional Cupid. In the following fight which was a brutal battle we would see Laurel defeat Cupid before leaving her for detectives. Despite the evidence of Cupid's weaponry, Briana would ignore this as we'd see once again Rick Flag (Jensen Ackles) would appear and collect Cupid into his custody. While this may have been a win for Team Arrow we would see Oliver struggling to maintain his company against the aggressive play of Rochev. Rochev would also prove a nemesis to Moira Queen as we'd further see some dissent between Moira and China White. As mayor Bolt and police continue to hunt the Arrow for the Cupid killings. We would finally see Naomi Singh begin to question some orders as she knew that Cupid was the killer. However her attempts to investigate and find evidence were constantly shut down. As Mack Morgan returned to duty, we'd see Thea finally turn to her brother for support as the pair reconciled and soon Thea voiced her concerns for her friend Suzanne. Remarking that he had some connections who could look into her disappearance. Oliver would use Felicity to research all the players in Star City while Diggle would use his status as a once henchman of Diaz to find new employ as a lower level member of Kraken's gang. It would be through this that Diggle learned that China White was still active in the city and was able to warn Oliver of such. As Diggle continued to dig however Lopez would warn Diggle of Aaron Bird. Calling him a dangerous player and someone to be wary of. It would be in Diggle's time that he learned that John King was being threatened with his daughter being used against him. It wouldn't just be team Arrow who were looking for Suzanne either. As Roy Harper was sick of having no luck finding his friend and actually reached out to the police. As he did so however this would put him in the crosshairs of Aaron Bird. Researching and trying to expose what was going on in the city would be Evan Gibson. Despite his abrasive attitude Evan wanted to do what was right for the city. Unlike his colleague Bethany Snow (Devery Jacobs) who was shown to be a slacker and someone with little interest in making waves. This would be until we'd learn like many others she was a plant designed to draw attention away from China White. As Gibson continued his work and hoped to reach the vigilantes. Gibson also found Roy Harper and listened to his testimonial. As they spoke however Aaron Bird would begin to stalk his prey. Revealed to be a mercenary notorious for his word with a bladed weapon. It would be The Green Arrow and Diggle who arrived on the scene. While the Arrow managed to save and rescue Roy Harper and Evan Gibson. We would see John Diggle battle Aaron Bird and actually knock him out before leaving him for the police. As a means of repayment for having his life saved. Evan Gibson would reveal that Bird had ties to a new nightclub being opened known as Verdant. In turn Diggle and Oliver would provide Gibson knowledge of what was going on with King. While the duo then proceeded to stake out Verdant, we'd see Roy Harper was seemingly inspired by the vigilantes. With Felicity's help they would find that not only learn that Tommy Merlyn was an investor but they would also see him meeting with Midas. As she watched this unfold Canary would recognize Midas and actually break rank in order to confront him. Overcome with rage as she charged into Verdant we would see John King armed with a shotgun also enter the facility in an effort to save his daughter. Seeing this nightclub about to turn into a crazed shootout. Both Diggle and Oliver would enter the scene as we'd see that this nightclub was in fact the main front for the Kraken's organization. King's mission while noble would see him be mortally wounded but in his last acts he'd shoot the lock to the door holding his daughter. In the ensuing chaos we'd see Black Canary break ranks truly as she looked to pursue the criminal financier Midas who appeared to recognize her. As Midas tried to flee with Canary chasing him down, we would see Roy Harper based on a tip from Evan Gibson manage to rescue Suzanne. Diggle meanwhile would be confronted by the Kraken while Oliver found himself facing off with Tommy Merlyn. Merlyn would be unaware of the Arrow's identity but held a lot of anger and hostility to the man who he blamed for the death of his father. Fueled by pure rage Tommy would attack the Arrow only to be swiftly knocked to the ground while Diggle managed to wound the Kraken. At the same time as police began to arrive The Green Arrow's attempt to learn more of Kraken's operation would be cut short thanks to a thief known as Camorouge (Geneivieve Padalecki) who managed to escape with money and several files. With the Kraken stopped it would be Merlyn who screamed in rage at the Arrow he was so focused on crippling the Merlyn family that he should have done the same to the Queen family. With Tommy Merlyn in captivity it would be Isabel Rochev who publicly washed her hands of both Merlyn and Walter Steele. In turn we would see Walter Steele looking to flee the city only to be gunned down by Adrien Rivers. With the death of Walter Steele, an intimidated Moira Queen would finally begin to realize that she was in over her head and had gone too far. At the same time China White and Isabel Rochev would look to continue their takeover as they ensured in their plan would be the death of the Green Arrow. As the Arrow patrolled the streets he would find a new admirer as Roy Harper wanted to follow in his footsteps. Not wanting to put Roy in danger, Oliver would refuse to work with him but soon after the Green Arrow would be visited by Evan Gibson. Having found some documentation to further add to the story Evan Gibson with this documentation managed to prove Moira Queen's involvement in criminal enterprises. Stunned by this exposition Oliver would return home and confront his mother. During this tense conversation Moira would learn her son is the Green Arrow. While horrified at her own actions Moira would truly express her pride at her son and what he was doing. With that Moira would agree to turn herself in and expose the truth to the world. Tragically however this would not happen as it wouldn't be long until Moira was killed off screen behind bars. The next scene would be a funeral for Moira in which we'd see many of Team Arrow present. During the funeral we would see Oliver and Thea truly come together in an effort to overcome their grief. During the funeral Evan Gibson would meet Oliver and reveal that he knows Oliver is the Arrow but has no intention of saying anything. Instead he warns Oliver of his colleague Bethany as he knows she conducted an interview with Moira not long before he passing. This would put Mack and Lopez on Snow's path and as they did some digging and found a series of mysterious deaths following her interviews. As the detectives banded together and managed to capture Snow. They would find details of her involvement with China White. The fall out of Moira's death however would see Isabel Rochev make a power play leading to her becoming a fifty fifty partner with Oliver in less than a harmonious relationship. At the same time we'd see China White having seen some of her allies fall reach out to a notorious mercenary known as Slade Wilson (Brad Pitt). While there is little known in regards to Slade's bio. We would know that he is a former veteran and someone who served multiple tours before going into the private sector. It was then alluded to that Slade had undergone some experimentation which amplified his already impressive attributes. As we'd see however Slade while coming to Star City, didn't seem to have much interest in China White's criminal enterprise. Instead he wanted to test himself against the man who took out the Dark Archer. One of China White's moves in an attempt to cover Slade would be to have Adrien Rivers stake him out. But proving himself to be more than just a hired gun, Slade would not only discover Rivers but kill her instantly by shooting her through the head. In a further display of power to show he isn't just a hired gun for China White, Slade would march into the mayors office and plunge a blade through Mayor Bolt's chest killing him instantly. Recognizing Slade as a loose cannon and not someone who can be controlled. Isabel Rochev would in an effort to survive turn herself into Oliver. Telling him of her side of the story which made her sound like a victim. Oliver would listen to Rochev and make it clear that he would not be turning her in for the sake of the company but that she will resign and turn herself in. While China White realized that Rochev was turning against her and made plans to strike we would interestingly see Laurel had over a bloodied Midas to Mack and Lopez who took him in for questioning while agreeing to overlook his clear torture. Naomi Singh meanwhile with the fall of Bolt was able to expose Briana's corruption and arrest her before the department thanks to documents provided by Evan Gibson. China White meanwhile would rush to Queen Consolidated only to find herself confronted by the Black Canary. Teasing a past between the pair of them a brutal fight would follow in which Laurel would finally put her differences with Oliver aside and the pair would work together to defeat the martial artist. With China White arrested, we'd see Slade Wilson would not stop his pursuit and actually began stalking Team Arrow as the film very much shifted it's main villain. Quickly learning the identity of all it's players with it's components. Slade would begin small as he captured Roy Harper with the intent to use his to draw out Team Arrow. This would prove successful as first Slade confronted John Diggle in his Freelancer gear. Despite Diggle's training he would be effortlessly disarmed and wounded by Slade in what Wilson called a message for Oliver Queen. After this Slade would rush to Queen Consolidated, here we would see Oliver joined by Thea Queen, Felicity and Samantha Clayton as they looked to put the building on lockdown. Aware of this attack Mack and Lopez would be joined by Naomi Singh while we'd see Evan Gibson also heading to Queen Consolidated. As she was hiding out at Queen Consolidated and called by a scared Roy Harper who was tending to Diggle, Thea would also learn of her brother's secret. While Naomi Singh began to help Felicity and Clayton escape the building. She would be confronted by Slade Wilson. Attacking Slade in an effort to allow the others time to escape. Naomi Singh would find herself quickly overwhelmed when Gibson tackled Slade in further growth of his character. Outmatched Gibson would soon be wounded by Deathstroke when Mack and Lopez started opening fire on Slade. As Slade took cover we'd see Naomi Singh help Evan Gibson make his escape. While this happened however Slade would manage to wound Lopez. In what was a stunning moment just as Laurel rushed onto the scene Mack Morgan would distract Slade and in turn be stabbed through the chest with a sword. With police on the scene Slade would make a quick escape while Mack Morgan would tragically die in Laurel's arms. Faced with the loss of another team mate, Oliver and his team would reunite while Evan Gibson published an exposition of China White's grasp on the city. Having been rescued by Diggle and shown his mettle. Oliver would agree to train Roy Harper but this would be only after Slade Wilson is stopped. In a shocking moment Camorouge would then appear before Team Arrow. While the thief may not have been happy to be there, she made it clear that she was doing a favor for Edie Fyers and passed them a file. This file would be a detailed point of research of Slade Wilson's origin story and the experimentation he underwent. While Camorouge vanished Team Arrow would formulate a plan to take the fight to Deathstroke. Knowing that he was Slade's target and that Slade would be watching him, Oliver would take himself into the Streets of Star City with the full support of the police force. This would soon draw out Slade Wilson who would quickly engage Oliver and it wouldn't take long to realize that this was a fight in which Oliver was over matched in everyway. However in a resourceful display as he knew the terrain and had Felicity guiding him through the streets. Team Arrow would begin to take the fight to Slade as Laurel's Canary cry and some open fire by Diggle and Clayton would allow Oliver to shoot an arrow directly through the eye of Slade. As Slade collapsed against a wall and laid dying it would be Naomi Singh who allowed Team Arrow to flee before they looked to take Slade in. To their shock as the police closed in all what was left in Slade's place was an arrow through the eye of his mask with a pool of blood on the floor. With Slade in the wind, the film would begin to wind down starting with a musical montage to Disturbed Sound of Silence. We'd begin with a funeral for Mack Morgan in which he was given full honors by the Star City police department. All of Team Arrow would be present for this with a broken Laurel being comforted by Felicity and Samantha Clayton. We'd also see clips of Roy Harper beginning his training under Oliver Queen while Naomi Singh was named the new Star City police department captain. Former mayor Jack Major (Ken Leung) would be released from prison with the exposition of Bolt and planned to rerun while we'd see Laurel Lance visit China While in prison. Wanting information from her, China White would smirk and tauntingly say she'll tell Laurel everything she wants to know for a price. The final scene of the film would then show an eye patch wearing Slade Wilson boarding a plane to wrap up the story. As this film came to an end, there would be a post credit scene which took us back to Starfish Island. Here Eddie Fyers (Sean Pertwee) and Shado (Rinko Kikuchi) would be joined by Camorouge. Unhappy at being that close to someone like Slade Wilson, Camorouge reveals that she did her part and managed to take anything relating to Robert Queen from the books. With that Eddie Fyers would nod his head and ask how she is doing. The cameras would then pan out and we'd see a woman training in the island who Shado would introduce as Emiko Queen (Devon Aoki)!
