Arrow Season 3 Spoilers: What Does Ra's Al Ghul Want?

The CW's Arrow will receive a brand new villain in Ra's Al Ghul (Matt Nable) for Season 3, as the show revealed at Comic-Con in July. But what exactly does the Batman villain want with Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) this season?

The "Spoiler Room" column at EW.com reports the villain's mission has to do with "identity."

"Any more news on Arrow's version of Ra's al Ghul? - Scott

Fans of the comic books will be pretty excited for this incarnation of the Batman villain. 'Now that the Arrow/Flash universe contains people with powers and contains the Mirakuru serum, it gives us a bit more license to be a little more 'comic book-y' than certainly even Christopher Nolan set out to do,' executive producer Andrew Kreisberg says. So, what's the big bad really after? 'A lot of the themes for Oliver's journey that we were discussing this season are wrapped up in identity,' he continues. 'Can he be both Oliver Queen and the Arrow? A lot of that turned out to get tied up with what we thought of Ra's al Ghul and who he was and where he came from and what his ultimate goals are. All of those things lined up perfectly.'"

The Arrow universe is definitely expanding into more magical and superpowered territory with the inclusion of the speedy Flash, the Mirakuru and the inclusion of Ra's, so it should be interesting to see how far the show pushes these boundaries.
