Green Arrow and Snow White sitting next to each other in an episode of The Roundtable.
The best part? They’re both badass archers in their respective shows. ♥
Night is made.
Arrow 1x07 Promo - “Muse of Fire” (HD) (par OfficialTVPromos)
Preview Batgirl Annual #1
Barbara may look good but Catwoman looks like shit. And talks like Samantha Jones. Ah, DCnU editors, are you so threatened that TDKR fanned the batcat flames and overwhelmed your pet ship that you’re foisting off Selina to Arrow so he can ride her coat tails? In the words of Madonna, this seems … reductive. And this comic. Um…Pass.Benes is the cover artist but Admira Wijaya in on interiors. I like what I see here; I think this may be the best Barbara has looked since the reboot sans the Hughes covers.
Yeah I’m not getting the Oliver Queen reference either. I haven’t been reading either Green Arrow or Catwoman after #0. Did Selina and Oliver appear in each other’s books recently or is this just another line Gail pulled out of a hat?? o.O
I know they’re going to appear together in Justice League of America, but that book doesn’t come out until next year.
The biggest problem with Arrow was, in my opinion, that I think the showrunners seem to be under the impression that Oliver is Batman if Batman were an archer. Which is a complete misunderstanding of Oliver Queen's character, but oh well. I should not expect any better from the CW.
That’s exactly what happened actually.
If you watch the music score featurette on the CW website for the show, the producer does specify that he wanted to go “dark” in order to do a “grounded” show based on a comicbook character, and even cites The Dark Knight trilogy as an inspiration for the direction of the show.
Basically the show’s version of Oliver Queen is what Batman would be if he was indeed an archer with a willingness to kill. Nothing about the character outside of the name and costume screams “Oliver Queen.”
