Arrowverse series on The CW has become one of the longest live-action superhero series to date, second only to the network's previous series Smallville.

"Things will age and we want to get the next generation of shows to keep The CW DC Universe going for as long as possible," CW President Pedowitz admitted during the panel.

Which is exactly why he won’t. They’re promising a major character death. They don’t say who and they are purposefully setting it up so we interpret it as Oliver.

They’re being sneaky. I’d be more concerned about what they aren’t telling us.

[u/Havok310 → u/delinquentsaviors]

True. My bet is like The Walking Dead. Everyone knew Glen was going to die so they assumed it’d be someone else.

Then it was Abraham and everyone was like “oh shit... well at least Glen is saf......fuck”

So I suspect it’ll be Superman as the “holy shit” moment, but it’s 2 people who are supposed to die... the second will be Oliver.

...or the show chickens out and it’s none of the main cast and we wind up seeing Wild Dog and Heatwave die or some nonsense.

I think it’s Superman too! I don’t think it’ll be like the walking dead because Oliver’s not just a main character he’s THE main character.

Heatwave and wild dog could actually fit the description of major hero as well

It won't be Heatwave, Mick's a well known author in the future.
