Arrow Season 3 Spoilers: Will Ray Palmer Become The Atom?

Brandon Routh has joined the CW's Arrow as Ray Palmer, the new head honcho at Queen Consolidated. In the comics, Ray Palmer is The Atom, the superhero who can shrink down to almost nothing. We've seen no indication from Ray in the first two episodes of Season 3 thus far, but could that change?

The "Matt's Inside Line" column at TVLine has the scoop. "'Anything is possible,' showrunner Marc Guggenheim allows, before adding: 'My instinct is if Ray Palmer is going to shrink he'll probably shrink on another show. With The Flash in existence, there's no compelling reason for us to do superpowers on Arrow.' That said, the EP teases, 'We have plans for Ray that don't involve shrinking but are actually really cool.'"

The column has some more Arrow news this week about returning character Nyssa al Ghul from the League of Assassins, played by Katrina Law. 'As you may have heard, Katrina Law will soon return as Nyssa al-Ghul, and given what happened to her lover Sara, the LOA badass 'absolutely' has some bones to pick, Katie Cassidy told me. 'You will see [Nyssa go through] a wide range of emotions,' Cassidy previewed, 'but ultimately, through the resentment and negativity, you'll get a chance to see [her and Laurel] sort of come to understanding.'"

Do you think Ray will suit up and shrink down on Arrow or The Flash? Both? Neither? What you do you think will happen between Nyssa and Laurel? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
