He appeared first but Clint is the standart for being a badass archer.

Where do you get things like this? Hawkeye has never had a definitive story...like ever.

Green Arrow has had many.

Hawkeye is the direct ripoff and the wannabee.

I wanted an old fart commie Green Arrow show Would've been funny as shit.

Lol I would agree with you but you are wrong. Hawkeye had numerous defining stories and moments.

That would have been confusing as hell for the people being introduced to the new Green Arrow, aka "Steve Jobs with a Robin Hood fetish."

I'm hoping for HUGE things in his Secret Avengers stint. The last time I felt anyone do him justice was his first mini with Mockingbird and that was forever ago.

Cancelled after 13 episodes.

It would have to get picked up after this pilot, first. Aquaman didn't. Neither did Wonder Woman (which was NBC, but oh well)

If it was connected to Smallville I would care... but since its not I'll ignore it.

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

Smallville left them the perfect spinoff point and they do this. But I don't know if a Green Arrow spinoff would've even worked like that anyway. The worst news is there's less Allison Mack on my TV than there was before. I'll check it out when I get the chance to.

They really should have just continued on with Green Arrow from Smallville. Already covered his back story so they could just use it as flashbacks for the first episodes as a set up, plus the built-in audience coming from Smallville.

I've been saying this all along. CW let a good opportunity slip through their hands with that one. Justin Hartley was pretty good, even if there were a few deviations here and there from the original character.

They really didn't want to do a Smallville spin-off, though. It was much more cost-effective to start over, even with the same writers.

That is probably true. And it does give them an opportunity to do something different with the character. Just going to seem weird seeing a new guy playing the character after Hartley has done it for the past five or so years.
