DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” has been a lot of fun so far, and one of the best episodes without a doubt has been “Star City 2046.” In “Star City 2046” the team traveled to the future only to discover that Star City had become overrun by criminals. There they met Connor Hawke who had assumed the mantle of Green Arrow after Oliver Queen went into hiding.
It was later revealed that this version of Connor Hawke is the son of John Diggle. In the episode Diggle was dead so we never got to find out how he felt about his son becoming a vigilante. But David Ramsey recently spoke to Zap2it and he told them that he thinks Diggle would be proud of Connor Hawke.
“In any capacity, whether his son decided to become an ADA like Laurel Lance and protect the innocent or a vigilante or a cop like Captain Lance — I think he’d be proud in any instance if he took on that mantle,” Ramsey explains. “Obviously taking on the mantle of Green Arrow is beyond Diggle’s wildest dreams. He’s just a proud father.”
Connor has yet to be born in the current “Arrow” timeline, but with time travel being so common in the Arrowverse nowadays, it’s always possible that Diggle could meet an older version of him at some point. Joseph David Jones who plays Connor has said in the past that the writers are trying to find a way to bring him back to DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow,” so never say never.
“Arrow” will return with “Canary Cry” on April 27.
