The Miranda Tate angle was used in part for Isabel Rochev, when they did actually bring Talia in she was after vengeance for the death of her father but this time she has Prometheus instead of Bane. So Batman has always been like a ghost hanging over the show and they kept moving it in that direction.

I've always been a big fan of having Bruce Wayne appear, not Batman, although they could hint at his alter-ego. My idea was that the billionaire of Gotham meets the millionaire of Star City at some function or so, Bruce could go across to Oliver and make a comment about Oliver's other identity. A brief conversation, really just winking at the fans in the audience.

Could Nightwing appear on LoT? I think that would be a far more realistic possibility. Despite similar story elements, most of them have been unique to this Green Arrow. Even the stuff they did take is minor considering that Oliver has fought these guys in the comics. (e.g Prometheus, Deathstroke)
