Spoiler TV recently revealed the logline for Arrow's sixth episode in Season 2 called "Keep Your Enemies Closer." The description reads, "This episode will see the introduction of recurring character Amanda Waller who is an agent of A.R.G.U.S. who sends out a team to kidnap Diggle."IGN reached out to The CW, and they confirmed Waller will indeed be introduced in this episode. However, there's no word on casting just yet.

his will be Waller's third live-action incarnation in the past few years; Pam Grier portrayed the character in Smallville, while Angela Bassett assumed the role in 2011's Green Lantern. In the latter's case, many assumed Bassett's Waller would connect to the larger DC universe -- when the hope was for Green Lantern to set up DC's new movie universe in general.

More recently, one of the ongoing questions has been whether Arrow will tie into the new DC movie-verse with Man of Steel. Now that they're introducing Waller -- on top of The Flash in Season 2 -- this only adds to the speculation that this could all be setting up for one big shared universe.
