After being a presence in Arrow throughout the second season, villain Ra’s al Ghul finally is going to appear in Season 3 as is the hero Wildcat, fans at Comic-Con’s Warner Bros TV and DC Comics mega screening learned tonight. While his face was not identified, the criminal mastermind was seen in full costume and with a sword in a previously unseen preview clip. Following up on a Facebook hint by Arrow lead Stephen Amell of Ted “Wildcat” Grant joining the show, producer Marc Guggenheim tonight confirmed both additions to the hit CW drama. A longtime villain in the DC world, Ra’s al Ghul was played by Liam Neeson on the big screen in 2005’s Batman Begins and 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises.

The screenings were followed by the largest panel on one stage in Comic-Con’s multi-decade history with filmmakers such Constantine EP David S. Goyer and cast from all four shows, like Arrow‘s Amell, Gotham‘s Jada Pinkett Smith and Ben McKenzie appearing simultaneously. After the panel, those remaining in the giant hall were shown the full Constantine pilot.
