While DC is hyping Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as the beginning of a new era for its superheroes, Arrow and The Flash have already doubled down on bringing in superheroes and heroines who have never previously appeared in live-action.

We’d expect Vixen season 2 to maintain the six episode format of season 1, but we’ll let you know if we hear otherwise.
Created by Gerry Conway and Bob Oksner in 1981, Vixen first appeared in Action Comics #521 complete with her animal mimicking abilities. Echikunwoke certainly looks the part, and Mari looks like she means business, so we’re anxious to see what she adds to the show. She’ll make an appearance in Arrow season 4, we’re told. She’s great as a voice actor and there’s no way she wasn’t cast to be great onscreen, too.
We’re still a month out from seeing Vixen on Arrow, but now we have the first peek at what she’ll look like.
Vixen’s secret identity is Mari McCabe, who ‘inherits a magical totem that bestows upon her the ability to access the inherent attributes of animals, from the speed of a cheetah to the powerhouse charge of a rhino and more.
