I honestly do kind of agree & think that would be a good way to go with him. But the ‘single dad, who’s kind of a mess but has a heart of gold’ shtick is really good too.

I also think Roy would be a good character to explore mental illness & the strength of the human spirit.

Also, I didn’t know this subreddit’s policy on showing people’s twitter names so that’s why I censored their name

i’ve been reading the green arrow rebirth comics and I noticed that green arrow is already a good few years into his crime fighting and I wondered if any other older comics are canon to this universe?

Currently making a Green Arrow pokemon team list because I was compelled to by greater forces (Autism), and I found myself struggling to come up with a team for him. Aside from the obvious, Decidueye, what other pokemon would Oliver have? So far I've come up with Decidueye and Crabominable because Decidueye is a green hooded archer and Crabominable throws its arms as projectiles.

Specifically referring to his run during Brightest Day

I used references from JLA (97) 121-123.

Hi, everyone. I believe you guys know about the Ultimate Marvel Comics, Right? In the 00's, It was a initiative created by Marvel to bring the Superheroes from the 60's in a modern take. It ALL begun with Brian Michael Bendis in the Ultimate Spider-Man series.

Now. In 2003, the Wizard Magazine did a few Ideas in how could DC do his own Ultimate Universe. And Green Arrow was on It. But not who you expect!

The Idea was to bring the Teen Titans as a team created by Lex Corp as something similar to what the Vought from The Boys comics and tv show does With their heroes.

So, we had Cyborg, Raven, Aquaman who is actually still a prince, Richard who wanted to be Nightwing, but the industry made him Robin instead, Donna, who's an Amazon that run away from Themyscera. And Green Arrow.

This Green Arrow is actually Roy Harper. Who was raised in a Native reservation. Learning deadshot marksmanship with his bow, being the Wild Card of the team. He loves to nicknames his friends, calling Richard, Dick, and Aquaman, Artie. The Titans Discover that after a rave party With Raven, Roy is overdosing ecstasy.

What do you guys think of this? Roy being the Green Arrow. And no more Oliver. But he is working With the Titans for a Enterprise. Would you have read this?

In Red Hood and The Outlaws and other New 52 stuff, Arsenal has tattoos all over his arms. I’m currently reading the current Green Arrow run and I noticed he’s missing the tattoos. I know he’s died at least once in between then and now, I just wanted to know if there was an in-universe point where they disappeared or a canon reason behind it.

Hi, everyone. Sometime ago, i made a list with my 12 favorite GA villains, and then, a list with 15 forgotten GA villains. But, in my research, i found some other villains that i didn't remember, so i thought, what the heck, i'm gonna post it. LOL.

In this post, i'm not gonna say how they could be re-introduced in the comics, like i did my last post, i'm just gonna say who's the character. Let's go!!

1 - Bad Penny - She's a super villains who wears gloves who can gives strongs electrical shocks in anyone she touches. Simple, but cool, imo.

Bad Penny

2 - Big Bad Wolf - He is a criminal that has been infected by Lukos, a disease that when untreated slowly mutates people. So, he can infect other people, but has claws, fangs, super strength, durability, stamina and regeneration. I love his "Main Man" design.

Big Bad Wolf

3 - Big Game/Blake - This is a two for the price of one. Big Game was a villains that is like a hunter, or something alike. He was killed by Cupid, what made his son, Blake, took his father name and place, to get revenge on the killer. Good luck for him!

Big Game // Blake

4 - Blaze - He is an incendiary villain, an arsonist, who use a suit that can handle the heat while he starts the fire using some bombs he keep in his hands. I like this, it's so simple, but it works for me.

Blaze

5 - Blood Bag - Jeffery Paragon is a rich immortal who is over 130 years old. He is a well known criminal in Seattle and has hired Deathstroke to hunt down and bring him back alive Doctor Miracle, whose blood can heal anything. That's disgusting. But i kinda understand.

Blood Bag

6 - Blue Lancer - He's a villain who wears a blue lance as his main weapon... That's kinda obvious... But anyway, there's so much villains like these, why they don't turn them into a group, to fight the Arrows?

Blue Lancer

7 - Camorouge - Camorouge is an international thief and assassin-for-hire who is able to turn invisible thanks to a stolen military stealth suit. I like this idea. A villain who's invisible fighting someone who needs to shoot right at her.

Camorouge

8 - High Rise - The henchman of the villain Brick. He has Cybernetic Enhancement and can shoot energy from his gauntlets. Imo, they should do more henchman of criminals like this. Lex Luthor has one, Brick too... Cool.

High-Rise

9 - Hyrax - Hyrax is an international eco-terrorist and the leader of the Eden Corps. She planned on using a bomb called the Mutajek 9-9 to destroy Metropolis and rid nature of its blight upon the Earth. It's a nice idea. An eco-terrorist.

Hyrax

10 - Iron Eagle - The mercenary was secretly hired by Robert Queen to attack Oliver Queen so that he would survive or die and ultimately wash up on the island in order to teach him how to survive... Robert wins as father of the year...

Iron Eagle

11 - Midas - Once a scientist working on a bacterial strain that would be able to revolutionize the treatment of toxic waste. While demonstrating his findings, he encountered a woman who seduced him, but eventually turned out to be an eco-terrorist hoping to steal the formula. He has super strength, durability, toxic immunity and can desintegrate everything he touches. I hope he come back.

Midas

12 - Nix - An assassin and master of disguise, that was hired by Isabel Rochev to kill Oliver Queen. Once again, simple, very simple, but it really works. I wanna buy her mask. So cool.

Nix

13 - Pinball Wizard - A villain who works with Bad Penny, and can shoot some pinballs from the shooters in the side of his arms. This guy should totally lead his own team...

Pinball Wizard

14 - Printer's Devil - A villain who works with Bad Penny and Pinball Wizard as some kind of a "Target Trio", who uses a trident to fight. They should rename him. I just don't know what to name him after.

Printer's Devil

15 - Rainbow Archer - Of course there should be a new archer on this list. Rainbow Archer is a villain who was an artist by day was also a leader of an underworld criminal gang, that was printing counterfeit money. I don't know why, but i like his outfit. It's cool.

Rainbow Archer

PS: The informations on this post were taken from the DC wiki, searching the pages of the Green Arrow Villains.

So, that's it guys. Tell me in the comments, did you knew these people? Do you think they should come back in the comics? How so?

And let me get this straight: I know that the show Arrow had a big influence on the character and he was more like Batman than the original green Arrow at some point that what my friend told me so I want to start with the comic series where Ollie acts like himself, he's sarcastic etc. I don't want to read green Batman or something like that. ThanksWhere to start?

I really like the Outsiders idea of the New 52 Green Arrow run by Jeff Lemire with the different clans with their different weapons. But, i don't know how they can use this concept back in the comics now. So i was thinking about using the Outsiders as villains of the Batman Outsiders, but then i thought: no, this would only work against heroes without powers, or kinda...

Maybe, we could divide the clans into each clan fight a superhero who also uses that weapon the clans represent and unite them in a great saga. What do you guys think? My ideas are not complete, so i would really like some help with anyone who likes to share ideas too.

The Outsiders Clans

So, i was thinking in how they could be used in the comics with different heroes fighting them:

1) Arrow Clan: Led by Shado. I think this is the most obvious choice for who could led the Arrow Clan after Robert died and the arrow totem was broken. I don't think they'll ever bring Komodo back tbh. They could use Merlyn, but i don't think they would change his origin with the League of Assassins. And they are the Green Arrow and his arrow team villains.

​

Shado

2) Axe Clan: Led by Butcher. I didn't like the New Earth version of this character, but i like this new 52 version. He could be a great challenge for the heroes if he decides to be a threat to them. I don't know who could he fight as there are not many heroes in DC Universe who were axes as the main weapon, so i don't know, but it could actually be a new character too, i think there's a great oportunity here.

​

Butcher

3) Shield Clan: Led by Kodiak. If i'm not wrong, he died in the Outsiders War story arc, but it's comics and they could bring him back, or, they could use the name as a title, and a new Kodiak could be his sucessor. I think that would be pretty cool. I think that a superhero who uses a shield that could fight him is Guardian, or Golden Guardian, of Metropolis, i think it could be cool.

​

Kodiak

4) Sword Clan: Led by Tsukuri. This character, if i'm not wrong, was only created for the DCAU as a replacemente for Katana, because the character could not be used at the time, which is funny cause Katana is not a villain.. Anyway, why not bring Katana her own "Doppelganger Nemesis"? LOL. I think it could be really cool. Both of them fighting for the Soul-Taker Sword.

​

Tsukuri

5) Dagger Clan: Led by Garasuki. The Dagger Clan only appeared in the Birds of Prey and Katana comics, so there's not much about them, except for the obvious. I, again, don't know much people in comics, who uses dagger as their main weapon, but i think at this point, they could create a new hero for this purpose, i don't know. Garasuki is a villain who i think it has a cool design.

​

Garasuki

6) Spear Clan: Led by Golgotha. This is another character who i think it's dead since the new 52 story, but again, he can come back or put someone to take his title as the Spear Clan leader. I was thiking about the Monkey Prince, and make his staff turn into a spear, LOL. I don't know, but i think it could work...

​

Golgotha

7) Mask Clan: Led by Magus. The first and only member introduced of this clan. So i was thinking, what about him being the enemy of someone like Plastic Man, who can change his form. I was first thinking about Martian Manhunter, but i think no aliens is best. Then, i thought about Beast Boy, but it's only animals for him. So, i think Plastic Man could be a good idea.

​

Magus

8) Fist Clan: I have no idea. Onyx was replaced with her new Earth version, no Outsiders, only the League of Assassins, and i didn't want anyone in here being related directly to the Batfam (no hate btw, i love Batman and the batfamily, but i wanted something different) as the villain or as the hero, as much as i like characters like Cassandra Cain and thought she could've work, i think it's better no. The funny thing is, there's a lot of people who can totally fight without any weapons, but i didn't think about anyone. LOL.

So. That's it, what do you guys think? I accept any ideas. Let's talk in the comments!

It’s essentially the last thing I need to complete my G.A. Timeline but there’s only one trade released of his time on G.A.

Hey guys, a few days ago i made a list with my 12 favorite Green Arrow villains, and some people ask me if i could made a list with 15 more. The only rule is that should be a Green Arrow only villain, not Connor Hawke, not Black Canary, not Batman, JLA, or any other hero, he should have appeared in a Green Arrow story and fought Green Arrow specifically, it has to be a Oliver Queen villain.

So, i made a research and i've found a few Green Arrow villains who i think it could be very well worked if they were brought back into modern comics. Mostly of this list is pre-Crisis, but i think there's a few who also appeared after the Crisis, but with minor appearances. One thing i don't get it, is why DC has never brought them back, even if it's for the Suicide Squad? I guess we'll never know.

I'm not only posting here the villain, but also how i think they could be adapted into modern comics, as the world has changed, not everything that worked in the 50's to the 70's could work nowdays. So, that's it. Tell me in the comics if you know any of these villains and if you think they would work in the modern comics stories and how. Here's the list:

1) Acrobat - He was just a thief who does acrobacies and have a bow and arrow. He can be brought back into modern comics as a villain who just makes acrobacies and uses another weapon and not a bow and arrow.

2) Archer From Mars - He's an alien from Mars who uses a bow and arrow. I have no idea on how to bring him to the modern comics. That's not how martians act. Maybe an experiment of a psychotical scientist villain who try to clone someone, maybe...? That's not much of Green Arrow villan type...

3) Bonzo The Ape Archer - Ok. This one has two version, one is a guy in a suit, and the other one is a real monkey. I think the idea of an ape being the sidekick of a archer villain is awesome, and i think this could be his story if they ever come back to the comics.

4) Boomerang - He appeared before the Flash Captain Boomerang... Just saying... But anyway, he's just a crook that uses boomerang. So, i don't think he's that much of a threat or could be nowdays, but what if he works with a group of people that uses different weapons i think it could work.

5) Bull's Eye - This was the Green Arrow archnemesis a long time ago, he was a Joker type character with an Target Symbol. He could come back as a psychotical canibal serial killer or something alike. I think it would be very cool to see. Or maybe, he could have him own \"Arrow Family\" with different weapons user villains.

6) Crimson Archer - He is a villain of silver age that is colorful and use a bow and arrow as weapon. He could come back as a Red Hood/Godspeed a like to the Arrow Team, as someone who is not a villain, but has less limits about killing, torture, kidnapping people to use as baits, etc. A dark vigilante.

7) Death Dealer - That's a villain who dresses as a king from a deck of cards, and use razor cards that can cut basically anything with a paper cut. He is very sadistic. I think it could be a good mercenary who fights with Green Arrow and he's allies that same way it was back then.

8) Detonator - He's kind of a Cyborg terrorist, who can shoot bombs from his metal parts, or something like this... I'm being honest, i didn't read the issues the most characters in this list appears, sorry, not sorry. But i think i terrorist is always a good villain for street level heroes.

9) Phantom Bandit - A crook who drink the formula of a scientist he killed and gain the powers of become intangible. I think that's a pretty good villain for someone whose shoots arrows that touch his targets. He just need a new villain suit, i think white would be a good color.

10) Polka-Dot Bandit - He's a thief that uses the mask with a lot of polka dots. That's it. They could bring him back as a mafia boss in Star City maybe, as a rival of Brick? I'm not sure. Or turn him into a \"death-thrower\" who uses colored balls to fight and commit crimes... I have no idea...

11) Slingshot - One more villain that shoots stuff at people. I don't know who they still haven't made a villain team with people who shoots things and have a very good aim. I think that's actually a pretty good idea, and i would love to see Green Arrow fight this kind of team.

12) Snare - He's a kidnapper, who uses traps for collect humans. I think he could be a great villain, a seria kidnapper, maybe a superhero kidnapper, who targets teen heroes, just like Green Arrow sidekicks. I think it could have a lot of potential if he was well written.

13) Stinger - He's a Gang Leader. I don't think he need to change. He just need to become more agressive and a bigger threat. But i like these kind of villains that are gang leaders, mafia bosses and stuff. I know Star City isn't Gotham, but still, i think it works this kind of villain.

14) Survivalist - The leader of a extreme rightist paramilitar group, that wanted to provoke a nuclear war, and make Star City become the center of this war, by shooting some missiles at the city. This just need to be update, but i think it's a great idea for a Green Arrow villain.

15) Vengeance - This is a Vigilante type anti-hero, who also uses a suit that looks almost exactly like the one from the Vigilante Adrian Chase, who has no problem into killing the villains, torture for information. Maybe a group of anti-heroes fighting Arrow Family could be great.

Haven't seen her since the Kevin Smith stuff. Been too long.

I'm a relatively newer DC fan, and I'm really not sure where to start in the comics. Like, where to read them or what to read, or how much I should read. I wanna start with Green Arrow, Titans, or Batman, but I don't know if I need to read others to even start. Any and all help would really be appreciated!
