The CW has released the first promo photos for Arrow’s season 7 premiere. The episode, entitled “Prisoner #4587” is set to focus on the aftermath of Oliver’s imprisonment at the end of season 6. From the look of these photos Felicity looks to be struggling without Oliver. That or she’s undercover as her old, goth alter ego. It definitely seems things aren’t going well for the character as she seems pretty beaten up by the time she visits Oliver in Supermax.

In an interview with Slash Film the executive producer of the series says: “We always set out to make Swamp Thing as hard R as we could and go graphic with the violence, with the adult themes, and make it as scary as possible. We really took our inspiration from the Alan Moore run in Swamp Thing.” Dauberman also went on to discuss the look of the character for when the series finally hits our screens: “Swamp Thing himself looks…
