Could Steven McQueen Portray Nightwing in Arrow Season 3?

The CW's Arrow has incorporated numerous other DC properties into its two-season run this far. The Flash, Deathstroke and more have appeared on the show and played significant roles in the series. But could Nightwing join that roster in Season 3?

Rumors of the Batman character showing up in Starling City have simmered for months, but they picked up Thursday when Steven R. McQueen, who appears on fellow CW series The Vampire Diaries, posted a picture on Instagram with Arrow star Stephen Amell at Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals in L.A. with the caption "#arrow #nightwing #golakings."

McQueen has hinted for a while on Twitter that he has the part. He retweeted some of Scott Snyder's Batman quotes and pictures and also posted some pictures of DC Comic book titles. This could all just be him hoping for the role or throwing his name in the ring, or it could be actual confirmation from the actor.

In other Arrow news, the "Ask Ausiello" column at TVLine tackles the question of Barry and Felicity's relationship in Season 3:

"Question: What is gonna be the status of Barry and Felicity's relationship on The Flash and Arrow? -Rachelle
Ausiello: It is hinted in the Flash premiere that Barry's trip to Starling City (and/or a certain someone he met there!) indeed made an impression on him. But we also see almost immediately that the CSI whiz shares a quite complicated 'relationship' with Iris West, the police detective's daughter he 'grew up with' after his mother was murdered/his father arrested. Obviously, the question will be: When will those two ever be on the same page regarding what they feel beyond a 'brother/sister' vibe?"
