## Trivia

* This is the first season to not have a main character killed off. Although Colton Haynes who played Roy Harper left the show, which technically doesn't count as being killed off. But it does continue the pattern of losing a main cast per season.
* This is the first season where said season's main antagonist dies.
* With the flashbacks in "Suicidal Tendencies" being revolved around Deadshot, this season marks the first time flashbacks have centered entirely around a recurring or guest character.
