Q&A with Justin Hartley

Justin Hartley as Green Arrow

TVGuide.com reminds us that Justin Hartley returns to Smallville tonight as Green Arrow, with Black Canary along for the ride:

TVGuide.com: Especially when someone assumes the mantle of one of these beloved superheroes. If you mess it up, you will hear about it.
Hartley: Exactly. And rightfully so. I’m the same way with things that I’m really passionate about. Like I love baseball, and when you see all these guys you admire and then all of a sudden you find out about things that they have either admitted to or are being accused of, it doesn’t sit well. If you’ve grown up reading about superheroes, you have probably attached yourself to a few that you love. So if someone comes out and butchers that character, I can understand that it’s upsetting.

TVGuide.com: Plus, based on comic-book history, Green Arrow just goes with Black Canary. You almost need him to be part of this story.
Hartley: Yeah, you did. She dropped the ball so many times, she really needed me there. [Laughs] No, it’s great how they’ve been bringing different superheroes on, so I’m glad they thought to bring me back for this. I don’t know if they needed me there to introduce her — they could have done this a different way.
