Batman’s Mask In Arrow Season Premiere Clip

The CW has released the very first scene of tonight’s Arrow season premiere, and at first glance, it looks like a repeat of the series premiere back in 2012… but there’s something different.

Things are back at Lian Yu, but instead of a mask of Deathstroke on the island, we see the mask of something else… someone else… the mask of… Batman!

“Thank god for Batwoman,” Executive Producer/Showrunner Beth Schwartz said when asked about how they managed to get permission to put that in the season premiere. “Now that they’re in our universe, we’re able to get away with a lot more things Batman-related.”

You can see the preview clip below. Arrow airs at 9PM tonight following The Flash; photos from the season premiere can be found here.
