"Arrow" season 4 release date is just one week away and while many are excited for the new storyline and the new big bad, there is one thing fans are not happy about.
John Diggle (David Ramsey) is finally getting his own costume. His helmet is already on the internet. However, from the moment it was leaked, fans expressed how unsatisfied they were about it saying it is basically a copy of Magneto's.
Check out Diggle's new suit in action Wednesday, October 7 on the season premiere of #Arrow!

Ramsey is aware of the backlash regarding his helmet. However, he warns fans to just wait for "Arrow" season 4 release date before they make judgement. Once they see Diggle in action, they will see how different the helmet is from the Marvel character.
"I know there's a lot of criticism that it looks like the Magneto helmet," Ramsey told TV Guide, addressing it head-on, "but by the time you see Diggle in action - we also get into what the helmet can do - you won't be thinking of the X-Men at all."
He also has another reason why fans should get excited about the helmet.
"There is a very cool gun too. The gun and the helmet, by the way, are S.T.A.R. Labs creations."
"Arrow" season 4 release date is on October 7 and while the focus will still be on Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and his fight against Prince of Darkness Damien Darhk, Diggle will also get his own storyline. It will start by addressing his feud against Oliver in the pilot episode.
"Dig has a huge bone to pick with Oliver when they see each other again, at the top of Season 4," executive producer Wendy Mericle said in an interview with Collider last month.
"We're gonna work that out. It's not gonna be easy. With what happened to Dig's family, it's really tough to buy that back, and Oliver is not gonna to be able to. Obviously, they can't be mad at each other forever, or what are we doing?"
