Default Arrow

We're now at that time of year where folks start announcing their TV show/schedules for next year, I'm sure we'll have a thread for that (we tend to?), but wanted to share Arrow.. well because I love comic book stuff!

Its a show about the Green Arrow on The CW.. so yeah I also fear it will suffer from Smallville, but eh first clip looks promising



Quote:
Arrow, the television series based on DC Comics’ Green Arrow, will kick off The CW’s Wednesday lineup this fall, serving as a lead-in to veteran drama Supernatural on its new night. The last holdover from The CW’s predecessor The WB, Supernatural was moved from Thursday to Friday in 2010.

The announcement of the network’s 2012-2013 was accompanied by the release of the first still from Arrow, featuring Stephen Amell (Hung) as a bow-wielding Oliver Queen.

Created by Green Lantern screenwriters Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim and Fringe co-executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, the series centers on Oliver Queen, a wealthy young bad boy who, after spending five years shipwrecked on an island, returns to Starling City — changed from Star City — with a mastery of the bow and a determination to make a difference.

Amell is joined by Colin Donnell as Tommy Merlyn, Katie Cassidy (Supernatural, Melrose Place) as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey (Dexter, Blue Bloods) as John Diggle, Willa Holland (The O.C.) as Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Kings) as Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne (The Dresden Files, 24) as Detective Quentin Lance. Here’s the official description:

After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he’s become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver’s own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.

Arrow will air Wednesdays this fall at 8 p.m. ET/PT, followed at 9 p.m. by Supernatural, which begins its eighth season.

I'm a sucker for a training montage. I wonder if they're going to flashback to the island where he learned to use a bow. Just hopefully not with Lost/Once Upon A Time's frequency.

I'm not sure why they didn't just make it a spin-off of Smallville. Not that I want more of Smallville, mind you. Justin Hartley was pretty good, though, and I generally didn't mind his scenes as Queen (outside of just wondering why there's more Green Arrow than Superman, but that wouldn't be a concern in a show about Green Arrow).

Like how it isn't a Green Arrow show, but a show BASED on Green Arrow.

Yeah, its weird... I mean.. they are making some changes.. like him being/working in Starling City.. and sounds like his mother may be evil.

Here's the full trailer
I like it aside from the main character's acting
