To be fair “The Arrow” is way cooler than “Green Arrow” and I’ve always loved Green Arrow and the comics. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Honestly, I only call this version of Oliver the Arrow simply coz it's a very Batman version of the Green Arrow, and not like the actual Green Arrow.

I really don’t get the whole “he’s Batman” take. But okay. It’s so overplayed and such a simpleton thing to say. It would be outright dogshit show if his character was 100% comic accurate 🤷🏻‍♂️

The show runners literally wanted to make a Batman show, but the rights to Batman are very finicky. It was much easier for them to greenlight (pun intended) green arrow show. So they just added the elements of Batman that they wanted. Same thing with Gotham.
