While Marvel are doing a great job of keeping th🎐eir film and TV universes connected - albeit loosely - DC have opted to keep their big screen endeavours se🐈parate from their small screen efforts. That hasn't stopped speculation on whether we might see some of DC's heavy-hitters show up in the Arrowverse, and Green Arrow himself, Stephen Amell was asked as much at a recent Heroes & Villains Fanfest convention.

Courtesy of , here is his reply: "But of course, The Joker could come to Arrow, Batman could come to Arrow, Superman could show up on The Flash. There’s a whole myriad of options because again DC and WB have a slate of films coming up, and those films happen, and maybe Arrow’s still around when they’re done".

"Or maybe there’s a change and people are just like, 'You know what💟, let’s invest in something that’s doing well fo🀅r us'.", Amell continued. "So you never know."

While it would be awesome to see 𒈔Green Arrow facing off against a small screen version of The Dark Knight, at this point it will likely remain a wishful൩ thought. As to the winner of that hypothetical confrontation, Amell says he would be the victor: "What do you want me to say? Well, Batman’s more experienced and his costumes cooler, and Arrow’s just a ripoff, so Batman would win for sure. No, I would win, absolutely." Wishful thinking indeed.

Season 4 of Arrow airs on Wednesday nig♚hts on Sky 1 in the UK and on the CW in the US. Check o🐈ut the trailer for the winter finale below...
