I will say this: I'm glad it appears Arrow and co will be facing Count Vertigo to start the Season, although I will truthfully miss the original, with his manic ways, erratic behaviour, and still packing the Vertigo drug.
But, I feel this guy works as, in the case of the same character, regardless of moniker, an older version.
Or, if a new iteration instead, as it seems, then a more theatrical Count than the crazier, edgier one we've known. See how it goes.
