Doug Jones Is Deathbolt On The CW’s ‘Arrow’!

Briefly: Hankering for more Doug Jones after rewatching the sizzle reel for Geekscape’s own Paul London: Hero of the Prophecy, in which Jones plays the terrible, evil wizard searching for the all powerful ‘Artifact’? Wait, you have seen Hero of the Prophecy, right?

Doug has just revealed that he’ll be returning to the DC Universe (he played the Thin Clown in 1992’s Batman Returns), this time portraying Deathbolt on The CW’s Arrow.

Name doesn’t ring a bell? Yeah, I couldn’t recall it either. The character first appeared back in 1983 (seven long years before I was born), and according to the DC Wikia, his “body functions as a living electromagnetic battery. He can absorb, channel, and redirect electricity for offensive attack.” In Arrow, the character will “be a metahuman with the ability to harness and weaponize plasma energy.”

We love ourselves some Doug Jones, and we can’t wait for this episode. Doug will appear in this season’s nineteenth episode, which is called ‘Broken Arrow’. Oooh, ominous.
