A couple of weeks ago, it was rumored that the Batman villain Firefly/Garfield Lynns was set to appear in a future episode of The CW's Arrow, which was recently picked up by the network for a full season. Now, Entertainment Weekly confirm that the villain will make his debut on the show on its tenth episode, titled "Burned". The episode is scheduled to air in early 2013. Actor Andrew Dunbar (Tower Prep, Battlestar Galactica: Razor) will play Firefly. In the comics, Garfield Lynns becomes a villain after suffering severe burns as a firefighter. As with every character on Arrow, expect this take on Firefly to be more grounded/realistic than the comic book version. You can check out Arrow on The CW Wednesdays at 8 PM EST.

SolidSnake007 - 10/31/2012, 2:43 PM

So they just keep using Batman villains instead of Green Arrow ones? wow. fail.

What's with all these villains from Batman's rogue gallery? I mean, I know they created Arrow as a bow-wielding version of Batman, but this is getting out of hand, already. Arrow has his own rogues gallery. They need to switch it up.

Correction, grif is a piece of shit.

mgeoff88 - 10/31/2012, 7:35 PM

I hope that means Bruce Wayne/Batman will eventually appear on the show.

@CaptainAmerica That's incorrect. Grif is in fact the shit!

Looks like all batman characters are being shown in this tv series ... And i am loving it.

Eventually Batman is going to have to show up to thank GA for taking out all of his rougues!
Seriously though, loving the show so far!
