It’s a big week for superhero shows on the CW. “The Flash” is returning tonight for season 3, and “Arrow” will be returning tomorrow for season 5.
When “Arrow” returns the Green Arrow will be looking a little bit different this time around. Oliver’s Green Arrow suit has been modified to add long sleeves along with some other subtle changes.
The Green Arrow operates outside the law which sometimes puts him at odds with the Star City police department. In the season 5 premiere titled “Legacy” we’ll be seeing a new police sketch of the Green Arrow, and the sketch was drawn by artist Neal Adams.
Producer Marc Guggenheim revealed the sketch on Twitter, and it is impressive to say the least. Check it out below.
New Arrow costume means new police sketch. @nealadamsdotcom was kind enough to hook us up. Look for it in Arrow's 5th season premiere. pic.twitter.com/n126ZXcCXL

After Laurel’s (Katie Cassidy) death and the departures of both Diggle (David Ramsey) and Thea (Willa Holland) from Team Arrow, Oliver (Stephen Amell) takes to the streets solo to protect Star City’s citizens as the Green Arrow. With Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) guiding him from the bunker, Oliver is forced to deal with a city that has become overrun with both criminals and a slew of new (and painfully inexperienced) vigilantes. Watching Oliver try to balance his jobs as both the mayor and also the protector of Star City, Felicity suggests he form a new team, but Oliver resists. However, when a deadly new criminal, Tobias Church (guest star Chad L. Coleman), enters the picture, Oliver realizes the best thing for the city might be a new team of superheroes. Meanwhile, the flashbacks take us to Russia where Oliver faces off against the Bratva.
