Please, please let this be true.
So, John Barrowman was cast in a recurring role on the new CW superhero show Arrow, probably a villain. (Thanks Flist, for alerting me to this important fact!) Here is speculation about who his character might be:
Another (and seemingly more prospective suspect) is a modern spin on classic Green Arrow villain, Count Vertigo. Count Werner Vertigo is the last descendant a royal family that ruled the small eastern European country of Vlatava. Vertigo possesses a device that destabilizes the inner ear of his victims and causes them to lose focus and balance to debilitating levels. -source
COUNT VERTIGO. HE MAKES PEOPLE DIZZY AND FALL DOWN. JUST IMAGINE THE CAMP. IMAGINE.
To be honest, I was kind of meh about this show before. However, I am EXCITED AS HELL about a campy superhero show whose villain is John Barrowman and is named Count Vertigo. This needs to exist in my life.
