ARROW Could Adapt Jeff Lemire's Terrific NEW 52 Green Arrow Run

The Weapon Clans and Outsider War could appear in some form or fashion on The CW's Arrow. "I'm sure, eventually, they'll end up on the show," says Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim. Are the various Weapons Clans something you'd like to see on Arrow?

One of the best comics to emerge from DC Comics' New 52 relaunch was the Green Arrow run from Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino. On that subject, Arrow excutive producer Marc Guggenheim has revealed that discussions have taken place on that subject and the topic comes up in the Writer's Room all the time. With Katana (Sword Clan), played by Rila Fukushima, being introduced last season, it appears the Weapons Clans are a storyline that's definitely on the table. A version of Komodo has also already appeared on the show.  However, Guggenheim cautions that it has to happen organically on the show, it's not something they would shoehorn in just to check off a box. "I'm sure, eventually, they'll end up on the show."  

Also, David Ramsey confirms that at the start of Arrow season 4, Diggle will be running Team Arrow, while Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and The Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) are on "sabbatical." It will be interesting to see how much the trio of Diggle, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and Thea (Willa Holland) can accomplish without Felicity's IT expertise and Oliver's skills and connections.  

 

Big changes are coming to Arrow when Season 4 returns this fall. How big? DC All Access caught up with the cast including the newly-minted Green Arrow himself- Stephen Amell-to find out. As if that’s not explosive enough, check out the interview with Marguerite Bennet about the new Bombshells digital first comic book series—featuring the legendary ladies of DC as you’ve never seen them before—as the heroes of WW2.

Domt because you'll [frick] it up. I love that storyline. Lemire should be a writer for this show only way I'd like this idea. These writers would ruin the story

Sounds good to me, Arrow has the ability to redeem itself here so the more Green Arrow it becomes the better.

yes and no. yes because that storyline was incredible. lemire's work really helped better establish GA as his own hero and not just "Batman with arrows". He hasnt been that way for some time in the comics but its really hard to say that after his run. But i say no because i feel like it should almost be better saved for a film or an entirely new show altogether. Because i feel like Arrow would not interpret it correctly or well enough.

we will see how season 4 goes though

Did you guys see Manu Bennett slamming Arrow on Facebook?

A fan basically told him to stay away from Arrow because the writers would probably butcher Deathstroke's character.

He responded, and I quote, "Yeah, they probably would".

"Kill off Felicity"

Am I cool now? Am I cool for thinking that my opinion is the majority of wanting a character dead?

There was an article posted on here last week about that. It was funny.

I wondered if it had been covered on here. I also continue to wonder if they'll let him come back after making that dig.

This would be awesome, if i were them i would be tempted to have the league of assassins fracture into the weapon clans with no strong RAG to lead them, then Merlyn could play the role Komodo did in the book. I would also be tempted to use Connor Hawke as the pawn in the story rather than creating Emiko and giving Ollie another sister.

Saying that though making Emiko the daughter of Robert and Summer Glau would also work as obviously Shado wouldn't make sense.

Plus it would drag Ollie away from team Arrow and leave them to try and cope with the city going to crap without him, I'd love it.

Also this story is the best thing to come out of the New 52 by far!!!!

Yeah because they haven't shoe horned anything at all in this show ever right?

I personally would prefer the real Outsiders. Arrow already showed that Stagg Industries exists. So Metamorpho is the next thing that needs to be shown. Plus then they can bring in Black Lightning. Plus the files for OMAC exist, so that's another member that has been a part of the Outsiders. So Arrow already showed three members of the team and they just need to add Black Lightning and bring back Katana.

Which is why I didn't like the fact that they made Komodo a simple assassin. I found his story in the comics to be very interesting

@NovaCorpsFan

When you read that yingyang's reply to you, don't pay it any mind. Manu has criticized the way Slade Wilson was dealt wiith on how only The Arrow stopped him in the S2 finale(as he brought up how, in the comics, the Justice League had to beat Deathstroke) and then in his episode in S3, but as much as that Arrow-detractor would like you to believe, he never criticized the entire series. Even Manu's reply on Facebook is being held up as him criticizing the whole 'Olicity' thing and that's just Manu only replying as how he'd be defeated by Felicity because that once more alludes to Manu's comments about how the writing for Slade Wilson has gone downhill ever since Slade first showed up during the present day storyline. That yingyang fellow loves to bash a series that he doesn't watch, or watches and complains online which adds nothing because he's still watching while his comments online really do nothing except him having something to do with his life.

I'm just waiting for Arrow to use one of the many, legendary, villains from his OWN extensive rogues' gallery.












Why is everyone laughing?
