Sounds like it's shaping up to be "Smallville meets Bourne Identity meets Macgyver"

Deadpool: Yo Siryn! Cannonballs!
Sam: It's Cannonball you twit.
Deadpool: Really, you sure? Coz I kinda had a healthy dose of respect for you before just cause you got rocket-powered farting powers.

I wish they had the decency to call this show "Green Arrow." "Arrow" is way too generic of a title. At least "Smallville" was a distinctive title; a title that didn't distance itself from the Superman comics. "Arrow" seems like it's trying hard to distance itself from the comic book roots of Green Arrow. This is a bad idea because a vigilante armed only with a bow is an inherently silly idea and they should embrace the conventions of the comic book.
If it were up to me it would be called "Green Arrow," and it would be about a modern day Robin Hood who protects the little guy, by doing things like infiltrating corrupt corporations. He would wear a green costume, domino mask, and that Robin Hood hat with the feather in it. I mean if they're just making this show a Bourne Identity clone, then why bother using the Green Arrow property, why not just make a new show with new characters?Last edited by sandwich eater; 02-09-2012 at 08:42 PM.
