According to Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim, Matt Nable's Ra's Al Ghul will completely change the landscape of the show. "What's really cool about Ra's coming to the fore is [that] his presence changes the show. Literally, the show will not be the same after [S03E09-The Climb]." Guggenheim also states that the motivation or Ra's shares a similarity with Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) in that both characters were motivated by death. Fans of Batman Begins will recall that Christopher Nolan's take on Ra's also had the character motivated by death. Perhaps Arrow is borrowing from that particular film's playbook again?
Also touched on in the interview is the news that John Barrowman will have a larger impact once the show returns from mid-season hiatus in 2015. This comes on the heels of Barrowman teasing what looks to be a fitting for a mask so perhaps he'll be donning a new costume in reaction to his excommunicated from the League of Assassins?
