Have you heard that they're coming out with a TV series about this guy?

I had never heard of him before reading the article about the show, but I thought you might be interested. The only downside is it's going to be on the CW, so there's a chance it could turn out to be angsty teen balderdash meets superhero, which would be terrible.

I know of him and I have heard and seen a bit for the show. I can't wait to see how they make a guy who dresses like an elf and shoots arrows with boxing gloves on them dark and edgy.

The last show I watched on the CW/WB/whatever you want to call it was as episode in the 3rd or 4th season of Smallville. I hope they can do this Arrow show properly, because TV really does need a superhero show that's not animated.

Sure that'd be nice, but it's not happening on the CW because that's not what they do. It been years since I last watched anything airing on the CW, but I know they're going after the young adult demographic. Their current line up according to Wikipedia is entirely teen melodramas.

The Green arrow show is going to star a protagonist mostly likely in high school, possibly early college and it will have lots and lots of relationship problems. It will be watched by girls, gay males, and some confused nerds thinking that a show starring a comic book character might be targeted at them.

Yep, that's what I was afraid of when I saw the channel it was airing on.

I would love to see the guys at USA give making a superhero TV show a shot. I honestly cannot remember the last live-action superhero TV show that was any good. The only problem I can see with making a superhero TV show these days is which superhero do you use. Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man, the 3 most obvious choices, have all be done so many times the show would get compared to the movies and would probably fail. They need to make a superhero TV show about a 2nd tier sueprhero. Somebody that everybody has heard of but who hasn't had 12.5 movies made about him.

This guy has some pretty good ideas about making a Batman TV show.

Luke Cage and Danny Rand are perfect for a live action show. Heroes For Hire would be amazing.

So essentially a new Buffy the vampire slayer?

I thought it was just a spinoff of Smallville.

It kinda is, but they're not using the same actor wo played the Green Arrow in the few episodes of Smallville he was in.
