    Despite the negativity I hope that the series becomes surprisingly good and remains longterm. That way more series that isn't Superman or Batman can be made

    Default have no idea who he is

    and in this case, that's a good thing.

    I'm looking forward to seeing him as Ollie.

    So? No actor will match our fanboy vision of who Green Arrow should be but I'd like to see him try and make the role work for him

    Never heard of Hair Color (or wigs) and spray on tans or tanning beds? Come on... acting ability first. Then we make him look the part.

    Sorry, not getting excited about this. Rumors abound that he's not a superhero, perhaps not even an archer. So what's the point??

    There's plenty of ways they could have done one if they'd wanted to, but it's probably just as well that they start fresh.

    So what you're saying is you don't want Black Canary to show up until later?
