Victor Von Deathstroke no go read the full comic even after superman got hit by kryptonite he was still standing and batman just got a heart attack so they stopped fighting. I don't call that a win.
You for got to mention that Prometheus, also was kind of responsible for the death of Roy's daughter that was like a grandchild to Ollie. So him killing someone that killed his kid's kid makes it rather sympathetic.
He'd also nearly killed Prometheus several years earlier, basically turning him into a pincushion. I think it might have been back around Infinite Crisis?
TheBlues32 no he ran away for a bit trying to kill other people who conspired with Prometheus. Turned himself in to Flash and Green Lantern. He was then placed on trial where he was unmasked and the people of Star City exiled him from their city, Black Canary divorce him and then Flashpoint. Hopefully his relationship with her in Rebirth gets better, as long as their memories of Pre-New 52 don't emerge
Sadiki St. George Seconded. Dude has been considered a joke for too long. His body can survive the crushing depths of the ocean, for god sake! Do you realize how durable that means he is?!
arrow was the one who really took out superman for batman with a kryptonite arrow. alot of people forget or underplay arrow's role in fighting against superman.
BLUE MARAUDER arrow could beat superman with criptonite easy I think, batman struggled a lot because it was h2h combat but arrow can use his range and beat sup much more easy(I think I killed the english but you will understand what I mean)
I had a friend who's a big Green Arrow fan explain to me the relationship between Green Arrow and Deathstoke. Deathstoke seems to have respect for Batman because he feels he Batman can defeat him in honest combat. But apparently he absolutely loathes Green Arrow because he feels as though Green Arrow only beats him with stupid tricks, and will go out of his way to fuck with Oliver.
If anything, the being useless without his bow point isn't the case as since everyone knows him best from Arrow, there's more hand to hand combat than archery in that so they wouldn't get it wrong
Another interesting fact about Green Arrow, he is sometimes portrayed as having a friendly rivalry with Batman, the two sometimes competing when working together who can get more done.
Blake Adams the character of Thea Dearden Queen is based of Mia Dearden. Thea doesn't exist in the comics. He do have a sister in the New 52 but she's called Emiko Queen and she's the daughter of Robert Queen and Shado.
Green Arrow is my favourite DC hero, he has since great stories, plenty of depth, and I love the Robin Hood motif. Superman is fun, but has to have ridiculous stakes, Batman is good, but they really oversell his intelligence, so much so he's generally as invulnerable as superman. The Green Arrow though has much better more relatable stakes in its stories more often.
Hi, I'm a huge Green Lantern fan and after reading GL & GA presents and watching DCs animated series, I would like to start off with Green Arrow. Could you recommend where to start or a couple good GA stories to start reading? Thanks in advance :D
Carlos Mariano Moya Caballero I've not read any of the new 52 stuff, but for older stuff I recommend Green Arrow: Year One, also Longbow Hunters (which he and Black Canary move to Seattle and the Green Arrow comes back to hunt a serial killer), and Quiver written by Kevin Smith covers his life after being resurrected by Hal Jordan and has some great moments. Another favourite of mine is The Road to Jericho which is a great collection of stories including one with Batman and the Red Hood. Happy reading 😁
Just want to point out here that the Arrowette photo they used was Miss Arrowette's daughter, Cissie. The Arrowette that Ollie was involved with was her mother Bonnie. LOL!
KevWebsz The CW wanted to take Green Arrow and have their own spin of it. It's pretty much a "fan" show. They literally ask their viewers what they want to see and they do it. That's why Filicity stayed on the show. She was only supposed to air 3 times but the viewers wanted more of her.
Green Arrow most famously killed Prometheus??? I'm showing my age, but he killed Green Lantern, and it was a way bigger deal. (Even though he came back years later).
Well he killed Hal Jordan who was posses by Parallax if my comic knowledge hasn't failed me during the events of Zero Hour. After that Jordan became the Specter
The Arrow show is not accurate at all for green arrow, He is a wisecracker and not that serious, plus the only reason he was made is cause DC wanted another not powered hero instead of focusing on batman so much.
Meh, it's different enough it's like the show is it's own mythos rather than just copy-pasting the comics entirely. Yeah I know most movies and shows about comic book characters are different but this one even goes as far as completely changing how he became the Arrow in the first place. Some people might not like that but I do for being it's own thing even though I think it takes itself a lot more seriously than it needs to sometimes.
If I am not mistaken it was success of Dark Knight Trilogy that made them want to make Green Arrow very much like Batman. He even got some Batman's villains like Ra's Al Ghul and they also made Prometheus evil version of him when in comics Prometheus is evil version of Batman.
Eddy The Martian Yeah and that's why I don't like Arrow Oliver that much. He is just given Bruce's gruffness instead of Oliver's light hearted banter. Anytime I see him being happy, I want to see the happy go lucky Oliver that I saw in Justice League.
10 things Arrow got wrong about Green Arrow. 1. Oliver Queen / Green Arrow. 2. The Black Canary'(all 3 of them.) 3. The Focus of the Show 4. OTA (Original Team Arrow.) 5. No Goatee. 6. Ra's Al Ghul ( He's a match maker.) 7. Seasons 3 and 4. 8. Almost Everything about the Show when compared to the Comics. 9. Felicity. 10. Olicity. Things it got Right. 1. The Bad Guys for Season 1,2 and 5. 2. Nyssa Al Ghul is ok 3. Got the Flash started. 4. the fighting in seasons 1,2 parts of 3 and 5. 5. Oliver's List in season 1. 6. Roy was alright for what he was. 7. Thea was actually a good substitute for Speedy. 8. Diggle. 9. Bringing in John Constantine. 10 teaching DC what not to do with with DC rebirth (try make the comic more like the show.) and what not to do if we ever get a Green Arrow Movie.
BobnosaurusSteve To be fair, that was originally meant to be Batman. So they decided to take Green Arrow in a more serious direction. And in all fairness, he's The Arrow rather than Green Arrow.
He'll yeah Simon covering my favorite hero. He is such an interesting character that has been reduced to a cw tv show. He's so cool, uber liberal, sarcastic, who will legit murder you. So much depth. Thanks what culutr.
To be fair all the DC-shows are pretty inaccurate on many characters, plots and pretty much everything. There is a reason why it is called the arrowverse and not part of the DCU
Well the Arrowverse certainly treats him like a discount Batman. Also it would be nice if the tv Green Arrow would drop a joke every now and then, instead of being serious all the time. I like the wisecracking Green Arrow from the comics, cartoons, and video games; and it would be nice to see that reflected in the tv show. I would like that. So there!!
The point of the arrow tv show was kind of to show what superheroes would more or less be like in real life, no time for jokes, barely time to sleep or eat as he's the mayor and green arrow. He's working around the clock with the thought of everything being his fault because he made a mistake.
I loved this character in Justice League, he was extremely everyman but also had the greatest sense of responsibility and self sacrifice to get the job done and his allies safe. Like that Wildcat fight, oh damn was that impressive.
Finally a video on my all around favorite comic hero green arrow nobody want to do green arrow like he's not one of the best and hawkeye got nothin on green arrow he is a infinite # of times better idc about anyones opinion on that because that's what i believe GREEN ARROW FOREVER!!!!!!!!🎯
"It's about the destination, not the journey." Simon, you fucked that saying up pretty badly, mate. It's entirely about the journey, otherwise all the damn reboots would have completely ruined comics for all of us.
I think the majority of Batman comparisons come from the TV show. Weather it be Ollie's to serious personality to outright stealing Batman's villians and storylines
Another reason the "Hawkeye" copy argument is false is that in the Golden Age there were numerous archer heroes across many publishing houses, including Golden Arrow (from Whiz Comics, which DC might technically own since they own Shazam) and the Arrow from Centaur Publishing among others.
I just want to know how he became such a tactician. Especially with a sword. I thought his training just consisted of hunting on an island for a while.
One thing many folks also don't know about Green Arrow is that he was a member of DC's second superhero team - the Law's Legionnaires aka the Seven Soldiers of Victory.
Uhhh... His political side hasn't been addressed out side the comics? Bollocks. The CW's Oliver McQueen is freaking mayor of Starling City. He ran a political campaign for the better part of a season. He makes clear policy statements at press conferences on a regular basis. He stopped being the Arrow at one stage to focus on his political career. How much more political do you want to get?
Yeah, he wanted to become mayor (and is), but he doesn't really care. The mayoral office isn't really important to him in the show, he'd much rather be out in the streets. He isn't really bent on anything, he's just doing whatever will shut the press up. Not very political, except perhaps for Spectre of the Gun.
While he was never a big enough character in Justice League: Unlimited for it to really shine through, Green Arrow there also made several remarks regarding his political affiliation. This was mostly during the arc where Luthor was running for president and causing increasing friction between the Justice League and the United States.
If the show is so political. Is TV Oliver a Republican? Democrat? Socialist? Independent? Libertarian? Yeah, you have no clue. Because they haven't addressed his political side AT ALL.
Actually in the original pre-new 52 comics Shado was a love interest of Green Arrow and may have been the mother to one of his sons. It wasn't until the new 52 that she was retconned to be his father's lover and the mother of Green Arrow's sister Emiko.
Hawkeye's deal is that he's a supervillain turned hero, and a spy who is a perfect shot with a bow, and can go toe to toe against Bullseye in marksmanship. In comparison, Green Arrow is a modern day Robin Hood, sticking up for the poor and the oppressed - but he's hardly a perfect marksman. He's really good archer, sure, but relies more on gadgetry, planning and equipment than raw aiming skills. All they have in common is that they both use bows and arrows, but that's like saying Batman is a ripoff of Superman because both fight with their fists.
To say his politics have not been addressed outside of comics is a bit not true. His character in Justice League Unlimited on cartoon network was political. Calling himself a Liberal and a lefty. Batman wanted him there to keep the rest of the league honest
Well, the fact that the Ollie from the series IS a Batman ripoff doesn't help making the case for him being his own deal, tbh. But truth is, out of the whole DC universe, Ollie has always been one of the few people the Bats truly trusts.
Ummm in the New 52 and Rebirth, Ollie has a half sister, named Emiko. The story similar to Thea's, except instead of being the daughter of Merlyn and Moira Queen, she's the daughter of Shado and Robert Queen. Also in Rebirth, Seattle is rebranded as Star City, literally making them the same place.
In the current Rebirth run of Green Arrow his home city is of Seattle, however due to the planned actions of the 9th circle to bankrupt the city and rebuild in their own image using their own piles of wealth the city of Seattle was rebranded as Star City after the leader of the 9th circle blew up the Space Needle, along with other terrorist level of attacks on the city.
Before New52 Ollie paid a number of martial arts masters to come back to the island he was stranded on and train the entire Arrow family in hand to hand combat.
Whatever. It's all vacuous in the show. I wouldn't even stoop to call it lip-service. No actual political ideology is clearly present in the TV shows version of "Oliver Queen"
Yes Green Arrow has been for many decades debated as being a variation on Batman as a review of mine in an '80's issue of Detective Comics even points out.
"He managed to give Deathstroke a run for his money" How? How in the holy name of flying fucks did a B tier street level hero give DEATHSTROKE a harder fight than Batman, an A-lister whose whole thing is being the best at hand to hand and ingenuity? I will never understand that.
I'm a huge Green Arrow fan so I knew a lot of the stuff already like before he even said it I knew Seattle was another city home to Green Arrow and about love interests and stuff
FACT: Green Arrow makes the BEST and STRONGEST chili.
mikkelnpetersen
Yea batman is the only guy who can eat it without any reaction. Even superman can't eat it.
You mean the most delicious Paint Thinner. :3
*_Lets not forget that Superman ripped off his right arm..._*
NodMan don't forget he got revenge by shooting superman with a kryptonite arrow allowing Batman to win their fight. Revenge!
Victor Von Deathstroke no go read the full comic even after superman got hit by kryptonite he was still standing and batman just got a heart attack so they stopped fighting. I don't call that a win.
Shrey Vaghela Batman won the fight and had a heart attack because of it. That's why superman walked away.
Victor Von Deathstroke no superman had to carry him to his grave and he looked alright to me...
To be more accurate, Superman cut off his arm with his Heat Vision. That's less brutal.
Don't mix it up with Superboy Prime's arm-tearing-off fetish.
You for got to mention that Prometheus, also was kind of responsible for the death of Roy's daughter that was like a grandchild to Ollie. So him killing someone that killed his kid's kid makes it rather sympathetic.
LupineShadowOmega He also took responsibility for it...I think. I know he wound up behind bars.
Yeah, he did. It was the only good part of that Arsenal Mini-Series.
He'd also nearly killed Prometheus several years earlier, basically turning him into a pincushion. I think it might have been back around Infinite Crisis?
TheBlues32 no he ran away for a bit trying to kill other people who conspired with Prometheus. Turned himself in to Flash and Green Lantern. He was then placed on trial where he was unmasked and the people of Star City exiled him from their city, Black Canary divorce him and then Flashpoint. Hopefully his relationship with her in Rebirth gets better, as long as their memories of Pre-New 52 don't emerge
Everything people get wrong about Aquaman this is needed
Sadiki St. George Seconded. Dude has been considered a joke for too long. His body can survive the crushing depths of the ocean, for god sake! Do you realize how durable that means he is?!
He has a magic trident, super strength, can control sea life, and, oh yes, HE CAN CONTROL WATER. 75% of the earth is HIS!
He also founded his own Justice League team.
It was the Detroit one...but still.
One of Aquaman's main villains is Black Manta, who was a Black civil rights activist...with AUTISM.
Oh he also had a baby...named AQUABABY.
Sadiki St. George they'll just get 90% of it wrong again just like they did on this video.
arrow was the one who really took out superman for batman with a kryptonite arrow. alot of people forget or underplay arrow's role in fighting against superman.

Arrow or as it's colloquially called Green Batman.
Another interesting fact about Green Arrow, he is sometimes portrayed as having a friendly rivalry with Batman, the two sometimes competing when working together who can get more done.
"he's just DC's Hawkeye" the main difference is that green arrow does stuff and is useful
Die-Nah not Dee-Nah, Thee-ah not They-ah
Pretty sure it is Me-ah not My-ah aswell
Nick Creson it's Thea not Mia ...smh
Blake Adams the character of Thea Dearden Queen is based of Mia Dearden. Thea doesn't exist in the comics. He do have a sister in the New 52 but she's called Emiko Queen and she's the daughter of Robert Queen and Shado.

Sweet, thanks man! I'll go check em out
Yeah, like how Superman has laser vision, is made of steel, can fly around the world in a few seconds and has super strength. Not exactly relatable.
QUESTION
been my favorite superhero since I was 12, keeping in mind Arrow came out when I was 14 and I had no idea Arrow was happening
Just want to point out here that the Arrowette photo they used was Miss Arrowette's daughter, Cissie. The Arrowette that Ollie was involved with was her mother Bonnie. LOL!

10 Things CW Always Gets Wrong About Green Arrow
Oh if there were only 10 things....
KevWebsz The CW wanted to take Green Arrow and have their own spin of it. It's pretty much a "fan" show. They literally ask their viewers what they want to see and they do it. That's why Filicity stayed on the show. She was only supposed to air 3 times but the viewers wanted more of her.
KevWebsz too many, too many
KevWebsz watch mojo did a top five
Killing off Black Canary is a start.
He's underrated af
Green Arrow most famously killed Prometheus??? I'm showing my age, but he killed Green Lantern, and it was a way bigger deal. (Even though he came back years later).
im intrigued
Well he killed Hal Jordan who was posses by Parallax if my comic knowledge hasn't failed me during the events of Zero Hour. After that Jordan became the Specter
He believed he killed Green Lantern, but it wasn't the case, and Hal met him a little before Oliver died, so he knew he didn't killed Hal.
The Arrow show is not accurate at all for green arrow, He is a wisecracker and not that serious, plus the only reason he was made is cause DC wanted another not powered hero instead of focusing on batman so much.

Both Batman and Arrow fought Prometheus. They just tweaked the Origin to tie more into the Arrow Story.
Eddy The Martian Yeah and that's why I don't like Arrow Oliver that much.
He is just given Bruce's gruffness instead of Oliver's light hearted banter. Anytime I see him being happy, I want to see the happy go lucky Oliver that I saw in Justice League.
Eddy The Martian Arrow is a reimagining. I love both versions of the character personally
Your pronunciation of Dinah and Thea is cringe worthy

batmanfanforever08 do you really think, after all he has benn through, that he would "drop a joke" no

Everyone forgets Ollie has a sense of humor
His base is called the Arrow Cave while it should have been called the Quiver. Thank you Harley Quinn for suggesting that.
Hawkeye's deal is that he's a supervillain turned hero, and a spy who is a perfect shot with a bow, and can go toe to toe against Bullseye in marksmanship. In comparison, Green Arrow is a modern day Robin Hood, sticking up for the poor and the oppressed - but he's hardly a perfect marksman. He's really good archer, sure, but relies more on gadgetry, planning and equipment than raw aiming skills.
All they have in common is that they both use bows and arrows, but that's like saying Batman is a ripoff of Superman because both fight with their fists.
To say his politics have not been addressed outside of comics is a bit not true. His character in Justice League Unlimited on cartoon network was political. Calling himself a Liberal and a lefty. Batman wanted him there to keep the rest of the league honest
Well, the fact that the Ollie from the series IS a Batman ripoff doesn't help making the case for him being his own deal, tbh. But truth is, out of the whole DC universe, Ollie has always been one of the few people the Bats truly trusts.
In 2013, it was revealed that Oliver has a half-sister named Emiko. Her mother is Shado.
Spiderman and Batman have the best rogue gallery
Ummm in the New 52 and Rebirth, Ollie has a half sister, named Emiko. The story similar to Thea's, except instead of being the daughter of Merlyn and Moira Queen, she's the daughter of Shado and Robert Queen. Also in Rebirth, Seattle is rebranded as Star City, literally making them the same place.
In the current Rebirth run of Green Arrow his home city is of Seattle, however due to the planned actions of the 9th circle to bankrupt the city and rebuild in their own image using their own piles of wealth the city of Seattle was rebranded as Star City after the leader of the 9th circle blew up the Space Needle, along with other terrorist level of attacks on the city.
I love all your channels but the pronunciation of names triggers me. It is Dinah not Deena. It is Thea not Thaya. It is Mia not Myer.
In your discussion about the sister you completely missed the character of Emiko Queen - his sister in the New 52 and Rebirth stories.
The Benjamin Percy run on Green Arrow for Rebirth is excellent.
And I seriously like his longer goatee design more, its just distinct.
According to the Smallville storyline he also appeared in Metropolis and fell in love with Lois Lane for a while.
Before New52 Ollie paid a number of martial arts masters to come back to the island he was stranded on and train the entire Arrow family in hand to hand combat.
FYI he's the mayor on the TV show and has been constantly talking about improving the city for three seasons now. He's VERY political
Whatever. It's all vacuous in the show. I wouldn't even stoop to call it lip-service. No actual political ideology is clearly present in the TV shows version of "Oliver Queen"
It's DIE-nah not DEE-nah
Yes Green Arrow has been for many decades debated as being a variation on Batman as a review of mine in an '80's issue of Detective Comics even points out.
I mean in the show he became the mayor of the city so it's not exactly ignoring politics like you're saying.
Nice, someone finally giving recognition to Bill Finger
The show never managed to get him right. Where are the quips, the alcoholism, etc? It's like getting the flash and making him dark and gritty.
Green Arrow is one of my favorite dc characters
Finally a video which doesn't try to degrade the green arrow
Superman deserves a list like this.
Hmm don't wanna start a fan war, but I still think green arrow can beat Hawkeye
Andres Gonzalez he can easily
dimitris likopoylos thank you
Hawkeye vs Green Arrow.

Subline don't use death battle man, they usually downplay characters man
Why can't he pronounce "Diana" or "Thea" properly?
1. Green Arrow
At least he never had any physical or magical augmentation to enhance his talent of using a bow.
Wrong Arrowette, Simon, you perv. That's her daughter.
"He managed to give Deathstroke a run for his money" How? How in the holy name of flying fucks did a B tier street level hero give DEATHSTROKE a harder fight than Batman, an A-lister whose whole thing is being the best at hand to hand and ingenuity? I will never understand that.
Believe it or not, his name was inspired by the traffic symbol.
I'm a huge Green Arrow fan so I knew a lot of the stuff already like before he even said it I knew Seattle was another city home to Green Arrow and about love interests and stuff
Completely ignored Emikos existence.
It confuses who copies whom ...both DC and Marvel have similar characters and somehow same type story line
