During a Q&A session at Heroes & Villains Fan Fest, Arrow‘s Stephen Amell was asked about the possibility of other DC characters – specifically The Joker – crossing over into the television series for appearances.
“Well, I mean, the short answer is yes, of course,” Amell answered. “Within the DC Universe, if they are in the DC Universe, if you were to ask if Iron Man could come to Arrow, I would be like, ‘Well, no, probably not.’ But of course, The Joker could come to Arrow, Batman could come to Arrow, Superman could show up on The Flash. There’s a whole myriad of options because again DC and WB have a slate of films coming up, and those films happen, and maybe Arrow’s still around when they’re done. Or maybe there’s a change and people are just like, ‘You know what, let’s invest in something that’s doing well for us.’ So you never know.”
This was followed up with a fan asking who would win a hypothetical fight between Arrow and Batman, to which Amell playfully answered “me”, while adding “What do you want me to say? Well, Batman’s more experienced and his costumes cooler, and Arrow’s just a ripoff, so Batman would win for sure. No, I would win, absolutely.”
