When I was a small child, I fell in love with the Green Arrow character on my favorite cartoon series the Challenge of the Superfriends.\u00a0 Later, I discovered him in comics and finally in a Kenner Super Powers action figure.\u00a0 Anyway, there was always something that drew me to the Emerald Archer.\u00a0 He just kicked ass in my eyes, especially when he teamed up with the Green Lantern.\u00a0 Now those were some of my favorite comics as a child.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, years go by and I still followed\u00a0Oliver throughout his many costume changes as well as team changes and I still loved the character.\u00a0 Then a show called Smallville came around and introduced us to Ollie in a different view, but it worked for the show.\u00a0 I was happy that the Green Arrow got some recognition even though they changed his back history a little bit.\u00a0 I mean we all know that Oliver was not a guardian of Metropolis.\u00a0 But that idea seemed to work for the show.\u00a0 Then all of a sudden no more Smallville on the small screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rumors ran wild with a Justice League series or Superman, but one rumor was a constant and that was a series about the emerald archer.\u00a0 The only question was, who would be cast as the Green Arrow?\u00a0 Well, I just assumed they would stick with Justin Hartley from Smallville fame, but the writer’s wanted a different direction.\u00a0 At first I was pissed but then I was excited to see this new direction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, let me tell you, when I first saw the first episode I was hooked.\u00a0 The action is nonstop and Stephen Amell is by far the best Arrow that has ever graced television.\u00a0 The show is very believable and realistic and I think that is what draws in the fans.\u00a0 That and the fact that they introduce some of the best villains in the DC Universe.\u00a0 I mean it has only been one season but we have already seen the Royal Flush Gang, Deathstroke, Deadshot, Count Vertigo, and Merlyn to name a few.\u00a0 This season has also introduced us to the Huntress and Roy Harper.\u00a0 You cannot go wrong with this series.\u00a0 This is by far the T.V. show everyone who calls themselves a comic fan should be watching.\u00a0 Hell, what am I saying, you should watch this show even if you do not read comics because it is just a kick ass show!<\/strong><\/p>\n
