Green Arrow (CW)

[JD]

I really liked the actress who did Huntress, and I thought the episode was great. It was kind of interesting seeing Ollie look at someone so similar to himself. I did not expect the reveal of John Barrowman's character, but now I do wonder if he's going to be The Dark Archer.

I'm guessing that Tommy's Dad is the Dark Archer...for now. Eventually Arrow will kill him and Tommy takes over vowing revenge against Arrow.

I'm guessing the "Dark Archer" is the other guy from the island (the one who helped Ollie)

Arrow[/I]. DC has started up a monthly title based on the show.

Ah, the good ol' comic book of a TV show based on a comic book.

Except that the Dark Archer's name is Merlyn. Which means Tommy or his father.

So we are going the Spider-Man - Green Goblin route? With the lawyer as Mary Jane, Tommy as Harry.

Funny, but I liked the actress they got for Huntress. Granted, she's not as beautiful as Helena is usually drawn in the books, but she showed the kind of edge that I would expect from someone playing the character.

I'm the opposite. I think she looks great, but it looked like she couldn't act.

As for chemistry, I don't think Amell has much chemistry with anybody, though he has gotten better with many of the characters/actors in his immediate circle.

That's true. I love the show itself, but the lead lacks charisma.

How is Arrow #1? I was thinking about picking it up.

Don't know. I haven't read it yet. It's well drawn, but the colors are subdued just like on the show.

And to Eduardo... I looked and issue #1 has the first three chapters of the digital series.

Let me clarify, I think the actress is attractive. She's not as voluptuous (sp) as Helena is in the comics, is all I meant. The actress is a bit raw boned.

The Huntress episode has aired.

As usual, the guy has his judgment impared by a pretty girl. If a man had done what Helena did, Ollie would have taken action.

I am still confused. What IS the difference between them?

Comics need to start drawing more realistic women--I would be fine if Huntress got a visual makeover (haven't read World's Finest yet) to make her look more like this actress.

I don't know. They're very much alike.

Writer's fiat.

Helena Wayne was robin on earth II to her father Batman. Changed her costume persona after accidentally ans irrevocably sliding to Earth 1.

The TV show is using the post crisis revision of the character from the 80s which is spot on with the TV show except that she was also a teacher and a little more well adjusted.

I know the current situation, but I am referring specifically to how the character is drawn.

Ben Browder is set to appear in the 11th episode “Trust But Verify” as Ted Gaynor, a character from the comics.

Spoiler: Trust But Verify

On Arrow, Gaynor is Diggle’s commanding officer from his first tour in Afghanistan, who now works as a bodyguard for Blackhawk Squad Protection Group in Starling City. As a series of armored truck robberies strike the city, Gaynor proves to be a polarizing figure between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey).

In the comics that character was born in Menomonee Falls, WI?????!!!!!

I grewup right near there! I wonder if the writer came who choose that is from there too.

But not more realistic guys?

I think the way Oliver sees it is that -

Huntress is going after the people who killed her fiancé, so it's purely about revenge while Oliver is going against his father's associates who have harmed the city. So I suppose he sees himself as pursuing a selfless goal.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Another DC character coming to Arrow...Shado.

 

[Icemizer]

^It would work well if she was the daughter of the guy who was helping him on the island.

Yes, but the conversation was specifically about Huntress. And I don't see hoards of teenage girls drooling over Superman's lovingly drawn pecks when I am in the comic shop.
