A 'Hong Kong Day' Episode To Feature In Chapter Three?

Since Harley Quinn made a brief appearance in season 2 of Arrow, speculation started running rife that the Batman villain would be making a more impactful comeback.

In the episode, titled Suicide Squad, viewers didn't quite get to see Quinn's face and all that was accessible was her voice. The character was voiced by Teenage Titans star Tara Strong. While people were still unsure if that was the great Quinn herself, as the character was described as the "deranged squad female" executive producer Marc Guggenheim confirmed that it was the Batman villain indeed. At the Comic Con event, Amell was asked if the infamous DC character will be returning for the thirs season.

"I don't know if she's going to be involved in season three, but the high-pitched voice in Episode 16 was absolutely Harley Quinn," said Amell. "I didn't know about any of this, by the way, because I wasn't in that scene. But I'm a fan and I remember seeing that preview and feeling like I should have known that this was going to happen!...I also know that there was an additional scene with that character in the finale -- again, still in the cell, still with her back to us -- but it had to be cut for time."

Here's the official press release for season 3 of the show:

"After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. He returned home to Starling City, bent on righting the wrongs of his family and fighting injustice.

To do this, he creates the persona of the Arrow and allies himself with former military man John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), street brawler Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) and international assassin Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), while keeping his secret from those closest to him including his sister Thea (Willa Holland), who has allied herself with his most deadly enemy. Rivalries and allegiances will shift as Oliver faces his most difficult challenge yet."

The finale, titled Unthinkable, of season 2 of Arrow aired on May 14 on CW.
