Thankfully, Black Canary isn’t going to let him go it alone. Lia being taken a right after Arsenal got her back in his life has him gearing up for war. It involves whisking them off to other planets/dimensions, so we can presume that’s what got Oliver. Lia’s disappearance came courtesy of Amanda Waller, and we were given a glimpse of her evil plans against superheroes at the end of Dark Crisis.
