Suits LA
Spoilers ahead for Suits LA sequence 4 , " Batman Returns . "
Harvey Specter made hisSuits LAdebut in episode 4 , titled “ Batman Returns , ” which gave the show the perfect chance to reference Ted Black histrion Stephen Amell ’s most illustrious role . Suits LA ’s leading role is Amell ’s biggest undertaking sinceArrowcame to an final stage in 2020 , and while he has done other things since ditch the Green Arrow costume , it is difficult not to associate the histrion with the iconic role of Oliver Queen . by nature , many were expectingSuits LAto referenceArrowin some way , but the show might have wasted its best chance yet .
Ted Black is a very different character from Oliver Queen , even though Stephen Amell did get to make for “ Mayor Green Arrow ” in the CW series . causa LAreferencing a DC superhero would not be a surprisal considering how many timesSuitsreferenced Batman , Superman , and other pop finish ikon . With installment 4 being call “ Batman Returns , ” it seemed sensible to take over that there would be a character reference to Green Arrow as well . Unfortunately , that is not quite what happen .
Harvey’s Suits LA Episode 4 Debut Includes DC Superhero References
Harvey Is Batman, Ted Is… Superman?
Harvey Specter ’s restoration inSuits LAmight not have been what many were expecting . Rather than Harvey showing up to the delivery in present - day LA , Gabriel Macht reprised his role as the belovedSuitscharacter in two flashback sequencesset in 2010 New York . We got to see Harvey play with the DA ’s baseball game team , which included Ted Black . While Harvey was no longer working at the DA ’s office at that full stop , he was still hanging out with his sure-enough equal . Harvey described Ted as the only other soul he can see being ring “ Batman ” other than him .
Matt Letscher , who played Eobard Thawne in his original form in the Arrowverse , plays Ted ’s father inSuits LA .
This was accompany by Ted Black state that he , not Harvey , was Batman , lead into a sport bit in which they kept arguing over who was the main Heron and who was the sidekick . Ted suggested that he could be Superman to Harvey ’s Batman , but Harvey argued that Ted was more like a Robin material body . This mirrored the fundamental interaction between Harvey and Mike in the original serial , with the two often discover themselves as “ Batman and Robin . ” Of course , Harvey was Batman , while Mike , the house ’s boy admiration , had no choice but to be the sidekick .

Suits LA Could Have Referenced Green Arrow — Stephen Amell’s Best Role Thus Far
Stephen Amell Played Oliver Queen For Almost A Decade
Suits LAepisode 4 ’s DC references , which let in reference of Batman , Robin , and Superman , give the show the perfect opportunity to referenceArroworganically . To be reasonable , Ted Black was wear down a green sweater when he was babble to Harvey about what their superhero theatrical role would be . Still , case LAcould have gone all in and dropped some variety of reference to Green Arrow . Considering thatOliver faggot is a charming masked vigilance man just like Bruce Wayne , “ Green Arrow ” could have been one of Harvey ’s suggestions for Ted Black ’s superhero nickname .
suit of clothes LA instalment 4 continues to play up a mystery patch in a way that is ultimately unsatisfying while brook characters steal the spotlight .
Althoughnamedropping Green Arrow might have been a picayune too on the nose , the fact thatSuits LAwas suddenly referencing DC superheroes made it difficult for me not to mean an Oliver Queen Easter testicle was come . The joke honestly drop a line itself , but I understand ifSuits LAdidn’t require to go there . disregarding , seeing Amell cite Batman and Superman five years afterArrowin a all unlike show was fun , even more so considering that Oliver Queen interact with a few Supermen and multiple Batman - related grapheme in the Arrowverse .

Luckily, Suits LA Still Has Time To Reference Green Arrow
Suits LA Should Have Plenty Of More Pop Culture References
“ Batman Returns ” will certainly not beSuits LA ’s final chance to reference Green Arrow . With Gabriel Macht set to appear in two more episodes , there should be plenty of chance for Harvey and Ted to keep arguing about who is Batman and which DC superhero the other one can be . While it is a bit uneven to hear Harvey describe him and Ted as Batman and Robin considering this was originally used for his family relationship with Mike , it works in the context ofSuits LA.Harvey and Ted are very similar , so they will both want to “ be Batman . ”
Michael Keaton , who asterisk inBatmanandBatman Returns , is Harvey Specter ’s favorite Batman .
to boot , Suits LAis about the earth of amusement law and tackles how Hollywood works . The newSuitsshow has reference multiple movies , actors , and even Warner Bros. already , mean it could well continue to namedrop other superheroes , enfranchisement , and famous IPs . Whether there was a show calledArrowstarring an histrion who looks just like Ted Black in the existence whereSuits LAtakes property continue to be seen , but I desire that the show eventually drops a couple of Oliver Queen reference work here and there .
