Trailer: Arrow Season Two

The CW has unveiled a new full-length trailer for the second season of Arrow, premiering October 9.

One of last season’s biggest genre hits (and the network’s best premiere in three years), Arrow returns with the promise of a ton of new characters from the DC comics mythology — and a new mission for Oliver Queen. In the wake of last spring’s season-ending catastrophe, Oliver decides to try and shed the “vigilante” moniker and become the real hero that his city needs.

Guest characters include the Flash (Barry Allen), Black Canary (Caity Lotz) (but it’s not Laurel Lance … yet), Sin (Bex Taylor-Klaus), Bronze Tiger (Michael Jai White), Amanda Waller, defense attorney Jean Loring (Teryl Rothery), plus a few returning favorites. And Firefly‘s Summer Glau will recur as Isabel Rochev, a new nemesis in the business world.
