Grant Gustin's Jaw-Dropping Twist On Oliver Queen's Grave Meme Leaves Fans Speechless
Grant Gustin pays homage to The Flash's iconic meme, posing next to Oliver Queen's grave in a remarkable new photo Fans are left in awe once again as Gustin showcases his flawless recreation
Summary
Grant Gustin, star of The Flash, recreates the popular Oliver Queen grave meme with a fan at a convention, bringing the meme back to life.
The joke has remained a beloved and frequently used meme ever since the conclusion of Arrow's final season. Despite the conclusion of the Arrowverse on The CW, there is potential for a potential limited return in the future, whether it be as a television event series or in the form of comics. The incorporation of the multiverse concept is also a possibility.
Grant Gustin, the star of The Flash, has further contributed to the popularity of his Oliver Queen grave meme by recreating it in a new Arrowverse photo alongside fans. The Arrowverse has garnered immense popularity for various reasons, including its incorporation of DC's iconic heroes and villains, establishing itself as one of the most successful TV franchises to date. However, the Arrowverse has also made a significant impact on popular culture beyond the television screen, particularly through memes. One particular image went viral and has become one of the most widely used memes in Internet history.
During the finale of the Arrow series, Grant Gustin shared a photo of himself striking a pose next to Oliver's tombstone, serving as a farewell to the Green Arrow. Fast forward almost five years, Gustin has now recreated this memorable moment with Gary Lizaso at the FanX convention. Lizaso, dressed as Oliver's tombstone, stood next to Gustin, capturing the attention and excitement of the fans.
Will The Arrowverse Ever Return?
The Flash star has received gratitude from an Arrowverse fan for revitalizing this meme, with the fan hailing Gustin as a champion for accomplishing this. Interestingly, the person who has expressed the most disapproval towards this picture is none other than Green Arrow himself, Stephen Amell, who, in 2021, straightforwardly told the online community to "kindly f--k off" if they were to reuse this photo.
With the conclusion of Grant Gustin's run in The Flash Season 9 earlier this year, it also marked the definitive end of the Arrowverse on The CW. Superman & Lois, the sole remaining DC TV show on the network, only loosely maintains ties to the franchise. While the future of the beloved DC TV franchise created by Greg Berlanti remains uncertain, there is speculation whether it could make a comeback. Despite the upcoming launch of a new DC Universe by DC Studios, the possibility of exploring Elseworlds properties could still exist under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Down the line, it wouldn't be surprising if the Arrowverse made a prominent but limited comeback, especially if Warner Bros. Discovery can find profitable opportunities. With Max still being a destination for future DC content, a limited event series that reunites the actors as the Arrowverse Justice League on the small screen is highly possible. Another option is to continue the Arrowverse through comics, similar to Smallville season 11 serving as a companion series after its original run ended in 2011.
If the Arrowverse were to return in the DC Universe's era, it would be exciting to see them incorporated through the multiverse, a concept familiar to the DC TV franchise as they adapted Crisis on Infinite Earths in 2019. Although the DC Universe may not currently utilize the multiverse, if they revisit this storytelling in the future, it would make perfect sense to include the Arrowverse in some capacity. For now, fans can continue to relive the entire Arrowverse through streaming services and physical copies.
