		<description>They should have gone with Justin Hartley or someone who looks a bit like him. Green Arrow is not supposed to be this thick, he is slim built but muscular,  what are they smoking.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see...the following pilots were turned down or fans screamed not to go forward with the series:

1) Aquaman, which I personally liked.  I&#039;m would guess that some exec crunched the numbers, and decided the numbers didn&#039;t look good enough.

2) Grayson.  Dick Grayson at a circus?  Yeah, right!  Wait a minute...isn&#039;t the comic book? (sarcasm)

3) The recent Woman Woman pilot, which had more bad concepts than good going forward for it.  And I&#039;m not talking about the costume.

4) Blue Beetle (Jamie) is going to be part of the DC Nation.

And so, it seems, WBE is digging into the B-list characters since Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, the Flash, and Shazam are untouchable for live action TV shows.

If WBE and the WB aren&#039;t going to commit at least $1 million per Arrow episode, like how Paramount did for ST:TNG, then what&#039;s the point?  (Yes, I realize that $1 million back then is not the same amount as today.)  In other words, have enough money to produce a good show and not use &quot;cheaper&quot; resources like the company that did all the SPX for Smallville.  Bleech!

And also, make Arrow a more mature, less soap opera show then Smallville?  If this Green Arrow is going to be restricted to a normal bow and arrow--possibly due to budgets--then allow this Green Arrow to actually use his arrows to shoot people...like hit them in the legs or see his arrows slice through people&#039;s hands.

Considering what DC Comics did with The New 52, why isn&#039;t there a Cyborg TV series in the works?!?</description>

		<description>It won&#039;t work.  The creators of Smallville were trying to develop a show based on Superboy and it just evolved (in a good way) into Smallville.  Now it just seems like studios are intentionally trying to develop these super hero shows/movies.  They all seem to lack the &quot;concept&quot; and are just developing for the sake of developing.

A Bruce Wayne type Smallville would EASILY have been a hit (yes, I know this horse has been beaten enough) but it&#039;s the truth.  Why the rights were never given is beyond me. You can&#039;t tell me they&#039;re worried about it interfering with Nolan&#039;s movies.

Smallville, with more freedom, could have spun off a Bruce Wayne series and maybe even a Diana/Wonder Woman.  Heck, I&#039;d even take a Tim Drake/Red Robin high school series over a Green Arrow.  But you know what?  Creatively their hands are going to be too tied with anything Batman / Bat-Family related so never mind.  My prediction?  This will fail.</description>

		<description>Why do I have the feeling that other than having &quot;Arrow&quot; in the name this will have little resemblance to the Green Arrow as we know him.  Will the character even be Oliver Queen?  Maybe they should have just gone with the Golden Age Centaur Comics hero The Arrow...heck, he&#039;s probably even in the public domain.</description>

		<description>So glad they&#039;re going with a different actor.  The one in Smallville looks like a clean-shaven lesbian!

I guess WB is trying to capitalize on the potential of Hawkeye&#039;s popularity from this Summer&#039;s Avengers movie.</description>

		<description>They should have used Justin Hartley and made it a Smallville spin-off. Existing fan-base equals guaranteed audience.</description>

		<description>Well, at least he&#039;s pretty.  Everything I&#039;ve read about this pilot makes it sound like a typical CW young adult drama, but it&#039;s too early to to say whether it&#039;ll really be good or bad.  I&#039;ll just be glad to see another superhero on the screen.</description>

		<description>I liked Justin Hartley as Green Arrow in Smallville; Justin is not lucky, this leading role escape him after Aquaman was not picked up.

		<description>I liked this guy on Hung.

But you lost me with Andrew Kreisberg attached as a writer.

His Green Arrow/Black Canary story completely sunk that book. It was awful. Everyone knew it. Sales proved it. 

So yeah, lets put this guy on the TV show. 

He must work cheap.</description>
