Maybe Lian Yu is a giant sentient being asleep in the Pacific Ocean and the explosions will wake it up. Past seasons have certainly made it seem like this isn't your garden-variety island, it has special powers.

A recent casting sheet seems to indicate that the Big Bad of season 6 will be the New 52 Richard Dragon.

I have a feeling thats super hacker(name already forgotten) and Helix are gonna be a big issue next season aswell.

I think they've already confirmed Helix and "Cayden James" (probably an alias) will be a factor in this season, which makes sense.

Though Dragon will probably be the more direct, physical, threat for Green Arrow and the team to fight.

So I successfully avoided reading all the DC New 52 titles, but I'm going to be forced to know these plotlines because of movies and TV shows that insist on using them?

I get confused about which is HIVE, HELIX or HYDRA. All these secret H groups bleed together. All I know is H is for HERO.

You really don't need to read any of the New52 Green Arrow comics to follow the show's plotlines, as at best they take loose inspiration from certain aspects only. Also, almost all of the New52 Green Arrow comics were terrible, with the exception being Jeff Lemire's run (which was excellent). And I liked Kreisberg's small run, but almost everything he introduced (Mia Dearden, Felicity Smoak) was immediately forgotten once Ben Percy took over.

I hope they will somehow subtlety explain that there is a difference between the pre-52 Richard Dragon and the New 52 Richard Dragon.

"The son of a corrupt businessman who was taken down by Green Arrow". That sounds awfully familiar. I hope they stick to the hacker baddies thing.

Yes please. They practically have to do Lady Shiva too if they're doing Richard Dragon.

Richard Dragon is a bad guy?

I'm just as surprised as you. Maybe this is the Richard Dragon from the Earth-2 in the Arrowverse. It seems like all the heroes on that Earth turned bad. But the Richard Dragon I remember was a good guy.

It's apparently a student of Richard Dragon who killed his master and took his name. In the New 52 comics anyway, or so the Internets tell me.

Odds are at least 50% that the show just keeps the name.

[Elmo]

I know the character in reference and he was never particularly interesting. Richard Dragon, however, is an amazing character and one I've been waiting to see introduced for quite some time.

Lady Shiva has also been speculated to be the big bad for season 6.
