Now some fans have gone to speculate that Diggle's now son, John Jr. will grow up to take on the mantle of the Green Arrow with the new name of Connor Hawke as seen in the future-set episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow which was in the show's first season. But that may not be the case due to what Doctor Who fans, like myself, would refer to as wibbily wobbly timey wimey stuff - basically dealing with time travel rules.
“We go back and forth on that,” the show's executive producer, Marc Guggenheim explained. “That was certainly a notion of ours. It’s hard for me to honestly answer the question without committing to a version of time travel, because in order for that to be the case, then Flashpoint would’ve had to have happened. You start to get into the very, very complicated time travel rules that, quite frankly, I as a writer don’t have an appetite to answer unless we tell a story one day that deals with John Jr., and even then, I don’t know if we would directly address that issue head on. Anyone who watches Legends knows that, by design, we don’t spend a lot of time discussing temporal mechanics — some people like that and it annoys the hell out of other people.”
Legends of Tomorrow returns with all new episodes at its new timeslot, Tuesday, January 24, 2017 at 9/8c on The CW
