Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) Character Review
Green Arrow is a fictional Character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Morton Weisinger and designed by George Papp, he first appeared in More Fun Comics #73 in November 1941. His real name is Oliver Queen, a billionaire businessman and owner of Queen Industries, as well as a well-known celebrity in his locale of Star City. Sometimes shown dressed like Robin Hood, Green Arrow is an archer who invents trick arrows
with various special functions, such as glue arrows, diversions
(smoke), net, explosive, time bomb, grappling, fire extinguishing,
flash, boomerang, and tear gas arrows, as well as cryonic arrows, and
even a kryptonite arrow. At the time of his debut, Green Arrow functioned in many ways as an archery-themed analogue of the very popular Batman character, but the writers at DC subsequently developed him into a voice of left wing and progressive politics very much distinct in character from Batman, with his own supporting cast.

Throughout his first twenty five years, Green Arrow wasn't a significant hero. In the late 1960s, writer Denny O'Neil, inspired by the character's dramatic visual redesign by Neal Adams,
chose to have him lose his fortune, giving him the then-unique role of a
streetwise crusader for the working class and the disadvantaged. In
1970, he was paired with a more law and order-oriented hero, Green Lantern, in a ground-breaking, socially conscious comic book series.
Since then, he has been popular among comic book fans and most writers
have taken an urban, gritty approach to the character. The character was
killed off in the 1990s and replaced by a new character, Oliver's son Connor Hawke (the Second Green Arrow),
the second Green Arrow; however, Hawke proved a less popular character,
and the original Oliver Queen character was resurrected in the 2001 "Quiver" storyline, by writer Kevin Smith. In the 2000s, the character has been featured in bigger storylines focusing on Green Arrow and Black Canary, such as the DC event The Green Arrow/Black Canary Wedding and the high-profile Justice League: Cry for Justice storyline, prior to the character's relaunch alongside most of DC's properties in 2011.
Green Arrow wasn't initially a well-known character outside of comic
book fandom; he had appeared in a single episode of the animated series Super Friends in 1973. In the 2000s, the character featured in a number of DC television properties, including the animated series Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice, The Batman and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, several DC Universe Animated Original Movies and the live action series Smallville, played by actor Justin Hartley, who became a core cast member. In 2012-2013, the live action series Arrow debuted on The CW, in which the title character is portrayed by Stephen Amell.

Powers and Abilities (Oliver Queen)
Acrobatics: He has displayed on many occasions that he is an expert
in acrobatics, and often uses this skill while evading enemy fire.
Archery: Oliver Queen is perhaps the finest archer ever known. He
claims to be able to shoot 29 arrows per minute (he stated this himself,
in the Sound of Violence story arc, when he corrected Black Canary for
saying 26). He has a wide-variety of trick arrows, ranging from bola
arrows to time-bomb arrows to his infamous boxing-glove arrow. In recent
years he has used these arrows sparingly, preferring the time-tested
simple arrow. Green Arrow has shown the ability to shoot an arrow down
the barrel of a gun, pierce a drop of water as it leaves a tap, and
shoot almost any part of the human body; although he aims only to wound
and not kill when he shoots. He once shot two arrows down two different
gun barrels while upside down, in mid-flip while somersaulting off a
building.
Martial Arts: He is proficient in several forms of hand-to-hand
combat including Judo, Kickboxing and Karate. Proclaimed as a martial
arts master, he has shown the ability to take on seven people at once.
He spent several months dedicated to making himself a better fighter and
trained with many of the world's finest martial arts teachers and even
went through training from Natas, the same person who trained
Deathstroke.
Hunting: Archery is by far Oliver's preferred method of hunting
however the ability to hunt comes from years of training, patience and
survival. He is proficient enough in hunting to pursue a cougar without
it ever noticing.
Swordsmanship: Ollie is also very proficient with a sword, though it is not his preferred weapon of choice. He has beaten Jason Todd in a sword-fight and has deflected an incoming arrow with the sword he carries.
Aviation: He used to own and fly his own airplane called the
Arrowplane. He still has some skill in flying different types of planes.
In Other Media (Movie)
David S. Goyer and Justin Marks penned a script for a movie starring Green Arrow originally called Super Max. On June 5, 2008, the film was retitled Green Arrow: Escape from Super Max.
The reported storyline is that the hero (framed for a crime he didn't
commit) must escape a high security prison filled with A, B and C list
villains and rogue superheroes.
MTV posted an interview with Marks on its site in 2008. Marks says:
" It's a very, very awesome prison. I majored in architecture in college,
and design is how I actually started in. For 'Super Max,' designing that
prison, it had to be the kind of thing that was a character in and of
itself...We're in a world where instead of just trying to contain a guy
who's really big, you're trying to contain a guy who can — in the case
of Icicle — who can freeze things. What kind of a cell would a guy like
that need in order to have his powers neutralized? So to escape from
Super Max they have got to go through the most elaborate heist we've
ever seen, involving superpowers. Because the prison itself kind of has
superpowers!"
Marks added that Black Canary won't be making an appearance in the film, and that it will include cameos from the Riddler, Lex Luthor and the Joker.
