When Arrow first began , it was reticent to show off its amusing past — Oliver Queen was a snarly Batman - case , the Green Arrow became “ The Hood ” and “ The Vigilante ” , and Star City became Starling . But as the show increasingly bosom its root , those things have exchange ( okay , not Ollie)—and now the city has too .
Yes , just as the Arrow is becoming the Green Arrow on the show , so is Starling City being re - branded to its original laughable Koran name Star City . The variety was substantiate by actor Paul Blackthorne — who of course plays Quentin Lance on the show — posting a behind - the - view Instagram picture of his shiny new Star City PD badge :

By the way of life , CW , I ’ll take that Lance / Diggle sidekick copper spinoff show yesterday , please and thank you .
It ’s nice to see that theshow is lastly adopt its comic - bookness whole hog — a move presumably inspired by its rattling sibling The Flash blend in laughable book bonkers from pretty much sequence one — but this actually is n’t the first metre the show has float the melodic theme . Part of Ray Palmer ’s pitch for rebuilding Queen Consolidated as Palmer Technologies in season 3 was rebranding Starling to Star City , mainly to get over the fact no one wants to live in a city constantly , ceaselessly under attack from supervillain terrorist looney and knickknack .
At the same time though , it ’s kind of mad that they ’re shift the name of a whole blamed urban center and just brushing it off as an in - between - seasons sort of affair . It ’s really quite hard to modify a metropolis ’s name — andalso astonishingly rare . Like , recollect of all the rebranding servicing like the Police and Fire Departments have to go through . Think about being on the spur of the moment told the city you ’ve lived your entire life in is of a sudden named something else ( and it ’s not like any of the characters can go , “ Well , you see , there ’s this comic book … ” for an account ) !
Is it weird I want scenes of the legal summons for this ? Fewer arrows , more LEGAL PROCESSES . That ’s the paint to Arrow ’s achiever , right ?
