GREEN ARROW TV Series Is On Its Way!

If I’m not mistaken, a few years back there was a plan to make a GREEN ARROW movie titled SUPER MAX which would center on the superhero Green Arrow who finds himself framed, stripped of his identity and imprisoned in a high-security penitentiary for super villains, with whom he must team up to clear his name and escape. Of course that project didn’t happen.
GREEN ARROW did show up in Smallville series, the character was played by Justin Hartley. But what about a movie? Sorry, not happening, what’s happening is the TV show.
Now that Smallville‘s over, CW wants to get another DC Comics character to do business with
EW reported that they’re close to ordering a pilot for a new series about GREEN ARROW.
No word yet if they’re going to approach Hartley for the role in this new series, developed by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim (the team behind last year’s Green Lantern film) along with Andrew Kreisberg…

Here’s DC Database’s bit on GREEN ARROW

Green Arrow is a vigilante superhero who fights crime using archery, technology and martial arts. In his secret identity he is liberal politician and billionaire Oliver Queen, a hot-headed social activist and owner of Queen Industries. Black Canary is his long-time love interest and Speedy is his side-kick. The extended family of heroes to work with him calls themselves Team Arrow. Oliver was killed in an explosion at one point and remained dead for many years until he was resurrected during the Quiver storyline. He has been a member of the Justice League and the Outsiders. Green Arrow was created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp, first appearing in More Fun Comics #73. (1941)
