Ok. So there's a Green Arrow tv series that was picked up by the CW. Currently it's simply being called Arrow.
Character details for CW Network's upcoming Green Arrow series has been revealed. Looks like Black Canary is in it (altho she's not Black Canary yet...) and Oliver Queen's mom is alive...Speedy is um... now his cousin and her name is Thea...

More details are coming out.
Oliver Queen is a “27 year old reformed bad boy.” He spent five years shipwrecked on a tiny, dangerous island. He returns to Starling City “a different man.”
Dinah “Laurel” Lance is 28, and she’s “a legal aid attorney determined to use her life as a one-woman war against the 1%” following the death of her sister Sara (Sara was on the boat Ollie and his dad were on. Yeah. Laurel isn't too keen on Ollie for the death of her sis)
Tommy Merlyn - Ollie's best bud. Doesn't like the changes in his friend. Bit of a frat boy.
Moira Queen - Ollie's mom and in charge of the Queen fortune. Remarried in the 5 years since her husband Robert, son Ollie, and Sara Lance disapeared. Her hubby's name is Walter.
Thea Queen - Ollie's lil sis. Only one allowed to call him Ollie. Bit of a celebutant bad girl. Ollie calls her speedy.
There's also a bodyguard for Ollie that he keeps on skipping out on. A fellow named John Diggle
Oh yeah the town? Starling City....I suppose the Birds of Prey could get their start there. *lol*

Im a such a huge Smallville fan! Like mega huge!! Ive got props from the show and replicas, and Im torn on this idea of Arrow. Justin Hartley was the ideal Oliver Queen. And for the cw to do a psyeudo spin off with out him is kinda weird.
I guess ill have to wait and see.

Hartley's Green Arrow was a piss-poor version of the character, his fangirls need to read the comics and get an education on GA.
Amell looks the part more than him too. Looking forward to a more comics-accurate portrayal.

Haha:lol: funny comment but Im not a fangirl! Just a fan. I peraonally liked his portayal. I know its not identical to the comics, due to it being a Clark Kent based show. But thats my opinion and you know people say about opinions :roll:

Considering that in "Arrow" Ollie's mom is still alive and he has a sibling this is NOT comics accurate. :lol:
I consider "Arrow" to be just another earth :P An earth where Speedy is his sister....

Just because the show is based on Clark Kent doesnt mean the other portrayals should be so off-key. Smallville managed perfect representations of The Legion, the JSA, Aquaman, and Booster Gold, it's GA that they radicly altered for a teeny bop audience.

John Barrowman has joined the cast in a recurring role! No word on who his character is (some think he's Deathstroke) but the character's description is a "well-dressed man [who is] as mysterious as he is wealthy … he is an acquaintance of the Queen family and a prominent figure in Starling City."

Anybody else on this board watching this show??? Totally loving it so far!!
The flashbacks to the island have been a tad confusing but so far it seems the big bad is Ollie's mom.
Also in the latest ep it was revealed that Bludhaven, home of pre-DCNu Dick Grayson, isn't that far from Starling City! *lol* Just a train ride away apparently.

this show is pretty good. i like this portrayal of green arrow. may not be an exact comic replica. but still a very good representation. he's a little batman-ish with all his brooding. but since they extended ollie's exile from mere months to 5 years... it's understandable. not to mention... deathstroke was a badass in his only fight scene.

TRUE! and i like the goatee!
this show is really getting good.
+ ollie's archery looks really cool and fluid.
+ slade wilson just steals the episode every time he is on. the dude is just plain badass.
+ diggle is an interesting character. i just hope they give him something else to do than give ollie pep talks.
+ action is top notch. fight scenes are... well.. actual fight scenes and not super-pushes.
+ more felicity smoak!
- with the recent introduction of roy harper... i'm not too thrilled with the whole "abercrombie-ish" persona they're giving him and the whole thea-love-interest thing seems forced.
- hope they stray away from making it get too batman-ish.
- GOATEE!
- laurel: less kissing more fighting (and scream)

Now here's a bit of a plot twist. Black Canary will be in season 2 of "Arrow" but she's not portrayed by Alex Kingston (Dinah Lance) or Katie Kassidy (Laurel Lance). Instead they've cast Caity Lotz for the recurring role. Wonder how she'll do her Canary cry since supposadly there's a "No powers" policy on the show.

Something tells me she'll only be named for her tattoo or something equally 'meh'. -_-

Season 2 is starting to be rather interesting. We have The Flash (Barry Allen) origin story, Black Canary popping up, possibly Ra's Al Ghul and now Amanda Waller has been cast! A rather YOUNG Amanda Waller at that. She'll be played by Spartacus actress Cynthia Addai-Robinson.

I've got to buy the first season online since I'm so very behind on this show. I got up to Odyssey before my teacher certification course started kicking my butt in the Spring. But can't wait to get to s2 since it sounds so promising. My better half will probably want to restart the first season though. I'm hoping they give Flash his superspeed. I mean, it's The Flash. If he's going to get his strength from drinking a frap, I ain't touchin that lol. Save for Arrow's no powers policy, it's proven to be quite a memorable series. Wondering if they'll bring Batman in at some point or is WB still under the impression that fans are too dumb to tell the difference between a film and TV show universe?

This season so far "feels" better, for whatever reason it may be. Everything just seems to click a little better, though I still can't stand Thea & Roy that much. Diggle's still the best part of the show, IMO. And Felicity Smoak will never hold a candle to Chloe Sullivan in the cute blonde hacker sidekick department ;)

I'm still curious if they're gonna actually do the superpowers thing. I mean they've definitely been building towards it... but it's a pretty risky move. The safe way to do it(especially now that The Flash will have its own pilot) would be that Barry is hurt in an accident with the particle accelerator and thats the last we hear of him in Arrow. Then the pilot would be a quick recap of that, and how he is awaken with superpowers. Meanwhile, on Arrow, Barry's injury can be used to give something else for Oliver to be mopey and driven about.
I don't know. I'm very curious to see how this turns out though :D

I thought Cult was very interesting and that's usually what happens to all the shows I find interesting. So hopefully this show will last up to 10 seasons. Lovin all the Batman rogues showing up! Wasn't Clock King one of his originally? He's always been one of my favorites. He had such a silly yet relatable origin story in BTAS and looking forward to seeing how he's portrayed here. Also great to be seeing Amanda Waller and really hoping we'll eventually see Ra's al Ghul.

Midway thru the first season it totally picks up. Season 2 has been totally awesome so far.

I finally started watching this show last week. I've really been enjoying it.
I think I'm going to begin watching this show since S1 is on Netflix and everyone talks about how good it is. Hesitating because I don't like watching shows and then waiting a long time for the next episodes, counting Netflix is my only option outside of torrenting I'd have to wait a while for S2 and even then I'd have to wait just like everyone else. I just prefer watching shows already finished. I make some exceptions from time to time when I really want to watch a show but even then I forget what happens, after the long breaks Young Justice had I would often forget all the small things that had happened in the previous episode which had aired months ago, so not sure if I should start. This would be my first time I binge through a show and only do that every year when a new season is finished. I might try it just because of that.
Krutch
04-19-2014, 02:49 PM
I was really hoping for a goatee for Arrow in this series at some point.
My buddy and I were talking about that the other day. It'd be hard to do convincingly since the long pointy goatee and twirly moustache is a pretty big giveaway as to who's underneath the mask.
But, what if he just adapted a fake goatee and moustache for when he dressed as Arrow? Someone close to him can be onto him(say, Thea for example) and he needs to throw her off. Felicity makes the suggestion of a fake goatee. He can make a throwaway comment about how ridiculous it is but does it anyway. Iuno, just a thought.
Well I started watching it, only 4 episodes in and why isn't this thread more active? It's easily one of the best superhero interpretations ever made, including movies. Only problem I have and it's a problem GA has always had is that the show feels Batman with a bow, he's just too similar to Batman, but this show makes it more blatant because there's plenty of scenes/ideas taken straight out of Batman Begins. I like it because they expand on things I liked from the movie but other times I feel "oh yeah this isn't Young Bruce"

Well here's something unexpected! The JSA is coming to Arrow starting with Wildcat! He will be played by J.R Ramierez. So they're going with a young JSA I guess since J.R is currently 33 (he'll be 34 in October).
In Arrow, Grant will be a former boxer who now runs a gym for underprivileged youth. A man with a mysterious past, he will play a pivotal role in Laurel Lance’s arc this season.
A former boxer at that young of age? Well at least he gets to mentor Laurel...
Incidentally J.R had a recurring role on "Emily Owens, MD" which also had Justin "I was Oliver Queen/Green Arrow once!" Hartley.

Maybe not "Mickey From Rocky" style, but it's easy to see how someone could be a former boxer by their mid-30s. That sh*t's catastrophic, it only takes one bad fight to scramble your eggs permanent.

The saddest part of that is that with that costume, we won't be seeing Laurel in the fishnets...a sad day.
Well I started watching Season 2 and I'm 1/3 through it and I'm not liking it a lot so far. Don't get me wrong its still good but I had heard so much about S2 and so far the episodes are about as good as the weaker S1 episodes. Maybe the season picks up after this since the Flash episode is the next one but yeah none of the episodes have been too interesting. Black Canary being laurel's sister is ridiculous, Laurel which I used to not hate in S1 is now one of my least favorite characters and even the island flashbacks aren't as good as the original flashbacks. I hope Deathstroke can really live up to the black archer who I loved but so far even Slade hasn't been as good as he was last season.

Well I finished off the other two thirds of Arrow and it did get a lot better, fantastic show and probably one of the best interpretations of a live action superhero including film. I know the general consensus is the opposite but to me the first season is far superior in every single way. The flashbacks are not as interesting, Slade is great but not as awesome as Merlyn, the whole super strength actually made Slade into a more boring villain, the whole army of supermen was a bit out there for this show and many people complained about Laurel in the first season but she never bothered me too much, she is indeed far more annoying in the second season however I hated Sarah Lance/The Canary she was terrible. Well looks like I have to wait a while before Season 3 of the Arrow hits Netflix, hopefully The Flash is also included. I hope the show tries to be less Batman next season, I mean I love the show but it is "Batman with a bow and arrow" and I know the character can be more than that.

Green arrow doesn't have a large rogue gallery, so using minor batman villains like clock king, firefly, bronze tiger, anarchy, etc. that will never really be used in any large batman production (since he has the largest rogue gallery) is a good way to include them. Deathstroke has been a villain of GA before, and really outside of Cupid, China white, Dark Archer, count vertigo I really can't name too many other GA villains, except Onomatopoeia who I'm sure they will add
Dead shot was included because of Suicide Squad, so Ras was the only really large and common batman villain used.

It seems that episode 8 will be the backdoor pilot to Legends of Tomorrow. A 2 hour backdoor pilot (one hour for Arrow, one for Flash).
"4x08, our typical crossover episode, will be doing a lot of heavy-lifting in terms of getting the Legends of Tomorrow characters set up and also seeing where they are with relation to The Flash. It's a big episode."
So I guess every season we'll be expecting a crossover event with the 8th episodes.

Not a bad season premiere episode. I already like Damien more than Ra's. Nice to know he isn't a metahuman.
Dat Hal Jordan reference though. Makes me hate the fact that the DC films are around and this is probably the closest we'll see of him in the Arrowverse.
And on a positive note, I hope that's Felicity's grave.

Yeah. I freaked out over the flight jacket. That'll probably the only semi-appearance of Hal we'll ever have.
As for the whole scene of the grave. Stephen Amell had a live vid chat Q&A after the ep on facebook and not even HE knows who's in the grave.
I hope tho Ted Kord makes an appearance cuz his company was all up in this episode! He'll probably come to Star City all pissed about missing shipments. *lol*

Eh. Oliver was so absurdly annoying at the brunch; also not a huge fan of the shift towards mysticism, but I'll wait and see if they do it in a compelling way.
Damian Dark was a little too campy for me, but his unnerving occult abilities made up for it. Intrigued to see more.
PLEASE be Felicity in the grave. She wasn't too bad this episode, but Oliver was. All sappy and happy... ugh. Break his heart with six feet of dirt, please.
Oh, and Diggle's grudge is unbelievable. Lila's over it, but he's not? Eh.

I don't think it's Lance. Why would Oliver hang around after everyone is gone? Why wouldn't Laurel(btw, wish she'd start going by Dinah) be there? Then I don't see why Barry would really even show up if it was Lance.

Because Oliver specifically asked Lance to stay "inside" with Dark, and feed information. So in a way, it's Oliver's fault Lance is dead.
I mean, it's obviously NOT his fault, but he'll still take some portion of guilt onto himself. That's my theory, anyway.
But that is a good point regarding Barry at the grave... ALTHOUGH, it could be clever misdirection on the writers' part, knowing that we'll think it's Felicity.

i agree that its probably felicity. The scene right before it showed the 6 months later was of oliver and her. transition into scene of just oliver, and i take that as some foreshadowing.
if not her, i really dont know who other than lance, but that wouldnt seem to be that dramatic. i couldnt see them killing off laurel (and hope they dont, shes been great lately) or thea, and i mean, maybe diggle, but hope thats not the case either.

It seems to be that whatever motive HIVE had for offing Andrew Diggle had to be changed by the Arrow writers once Suicide Squad and Deadshot got taken off the table because of 2016's movie.
Anyone else think the same? Or am I just overly skeptical?

There IS more to Diggle's brother's murder. Supposedly he's a drug lord. Okay, but Dahrk is into magic and mysticism...
The flashbacks! So far, the Baron's operation seems to be drugs... but Constantine has told us mysticism and magic are involved! Correlation! Parallels!

Ever since Berlanti and Kreisberg stopped being the showrunners, this show has gone to hell. Go back to the dark tones of season 1 and 2.
I don't think that Marc Guggenheim understands that when we say we want to have Felicity stop crying, we don't mean have her stop crying for 5 episodes THEN have her cry again. I'm ****ing enjoying the flashbacks more than the actual main story since Felicity isn't in them.

I came into Season 4 knowing that I was only watching it for Legends of Tomorrow setups and the Flash crossover.
Then we had episodes #3-5, which were actually really good! Just like the few good episodes of Season 3...

Agreed. Felicity was cute, fun, refreshing, and vital to the team in Seasons 1 and 2.
Seasons 3 and 4, she's bitchy, overwhelmingly emotional, useless, selfish, full of drama, and in way over her head. Plant her under the tombstone already; "Lost Souls" was the last straw for me.

Deathstroke was handled really well, Season 2 is probably the highlight of the show. Except for the future moment when hopefully Felicity will be planted. Felicity is now my official scapegoat for every single problem I have with "The Batman License Was Too Expensive But We Already Committed."

We're gonna have to disagree there, mate. Unlike Felicity, Laurel's character is essential to the Green Arrow lore, so she can't afford to be killed off. Felicity can.

Maybe I should have been more specific. She's been useless in terms of combat recently. She's got her ass kicked in almost every fight this season. :lol: I'm sorry but it's true, no disagreeing about it. Until she starts being more helpful, she might as well get killed off as well, going by some people's logic here. I personally do not believe this.
And everyone who's watched the show knows that Felicty is essential too. Nobody else on Team Arrow can hack like she can.
if the writers would pay more attention to her (Laurel)
THIS is the problem tbh. We know she can helpful, we just need to be shown it. :P
As I suspected, as soon as they rescue Ray, Sara leaves to no doubt join her spin-off show. We just got her back gosh darn it.

Yeah, but Laurel is hated for reasons that baffle me. Honestly, a lot of Arrow fans are unsympathetic asshats, IMO.
Her fiancee runs off with her sister for a cruise of adulterous sexytimes, only to result in both their deaths (or so she thinks). She finally moves on and forms a relationship with another man, only to eventually see him die, too--this time, not in a storm, but (she feels) because of an outlaw vigilante's violent actions. Plus her fiancee and sister both return from the dead and start in again on the sexytimes. Who wouldn't start hitting the bottle or popping pills? Who wouldn't try to take down the vigilante through your position in the D.A.'s office?
But yeah, since Season 3, Laurel's characterization has just fallen off the table and is lying forgotten next to somebody's sandwich. If it weren't for the fact that the writers have to spin off Sara to LOT, maybe we'd get to see her be more than just a plot device. :trolleye:

Couldn't agree more. I sure as hell would start hitting bottle AND popping pills if all that crap had happened to me. :P And please lets stop having Laurel getting her ass kicked in every fight. We know she can defend herself. It bugs me when she's incapacitated so easily.
Maybe things with Laurel will improve once LOT is all set up? Maybe? The same no doubt can't be said for Felicity, unless certain rumored things come to light. i.e. Damien possibly being her dad, and her being killed somehow.
It really is frustrating for a such a good show to slip so much. At least The Flash is still solid, although I feel Zoom hasn't been built up enough as a menacing enough villain. Unlike Darhk. But that's just me, season 2 is still early days as of now.

That's the big difference: people don't like Laurel because (inexplicably) they can't relate to how she was dealing with her pain and loss, while people don't like Felicity because the writers have turned her into a Mary Sue.
Hell, I know I'm not alone when I say I adored Felicity in Seasons 1 and 2! Remember, Slade thought Laurel was Oliver's true love until Oliver deliberately set up Felicity as a decoy. And then Tumbler went "OH NOES! THIS MUST BE TWUE WUV FOR REALZ!" and the writers idiotically went along with it.
I really hope we can get rid of Sara and let Laurel come back to being more than just background and plot device.

Is that how it went down? Because that actually makes a lot of sense.
Felicity was better before she got with Oliver. Her quirkiness is still intact now though so she's not completely unlikeable like others are saying.
I'd say have her get back with Ray, but he's leaving for LOT so I guess she has to stay with Oliver. :roll: It's okay to be single y'know, it might actually do her some good. :P

She should absolutely have gone with Ray. They worked together.
And I can't imagine how ELSE it could have gone down. Until someone else can prove otherwise, I will bet money that my theory is 100% correct.

I really miss the adult themes of this show. The drinking, pill popping, etc. It really showed the depression of Laurel in a mature manner that served as an interesting side plot, albeit not my favorite, for Season 2.
Now it's a bunch of teen drama ****.

This season certainly is showing signs of its season 1 soap opera roots, isn't it?
The only thing more overused in Arrow than Felicity:
"Hey, you okay?"

"Brotherhood" was a GREAT episode. Funny how a great episode came right on the heels of a pretty terrible episode.
Highlights include:
The drama between Diggle and his brother
Malcolm serving up a pedophile for Thea to sate her bloodlust
Dahrk suspecting Lance
The Baron finding out Oliver's innocence... and the other soldier's lies
Laurel and Diggle
Ray was actually not annoying
All of the fight scenes were top-notch
Now to marathon Jessica Jones!
But that pedophile is still on the loose...

And Laurel didn't get her ass kicked and Felicity was useful again like she was before. Good to know I'm not the only one who enjoyed this episode. As I was watching it, I kept thinking, "I wonder if the folks over at the Technodrome are enjoying this." :P

The recent episode was pretty good, but you know who surprised me the most in it? Ray. Back in season 3, the guy couldn't even throw a punch. But in that one fight scene with Oliver he was taking down those H.I.V.E. guys like a pro. Would definitely like to see more of that.
And on another note, King Shark is still alive and kicking, and apparently will apparently appear in the crossover with Flash: http://comicsalliance.com/flash-king-shark-arrow-diggle-david-ramsey/

EXCELLENT. We never got any sort of logical closure to King Shark... plus he's a beast. :tgrin:

Tom Amandes has joined the cast as the DC villain The Calculator/Noah Kuttler. Well I guess if we can't have a Lantern we can have a villain who makes stuff out of hard light. In the comics he's also the father of Wendy and Marvin so now we have the potential of Wonder Dog showing up. He's also an ally of Doctor Light... hmm

Maybe he can calculate how long it'll take Felicity to die.
If you haven't noticed, I want a certain thing to happen this season. :roll:

No worries man, it's all good. Remember what Barry said about how time travel can backfire on you in the worst way when you change the past?
Bye bye, Felicity. :tgrin:

Course everyone died this week. :lol:
My fave quote tho is from Speedy "A bunch of super heroes in a farm house? I feel like I've seen that in a movie before..." :lol:
Incidentally... Vandal Savage said he knew and trained Robin Hood. To me this means there's some good in him despite him being an immortal villain.
