Green Arrow Movie to Showcase DC Comics Characters--Mainly Villains!

---

A script review of "Supermax," a comic book movie highlighting DC's Green Arrow, has appeared online at Latino Review, in it writer/director David Goyer describes one of the most unique storylines in super hero moviedom.

"He’s Green Arrow for the first 10 minutes of the movie, and then he’s arrested and his secret identity is revealed. They shave his goatee and they take his costume and send him to prison for life, and he has to escape. It’s like ‘Alcatraz,’ and he has to team up with, in some cases, some of the very same villains he is responsible for incarcerating in order to get out and clear his name."

"Of course, tons of people try to kill him while he’s in there. We’ve populated the prison with all sorts of B and C villains from the DC Universe. For the fans, there will be all sorts of characters the hardcore comic book junkies will know, but they’re all going to be there under their human names and no one is wearing a costume, but there will be a lot of characters with powers and things like that."

This may not be what Green Arrow fans had in mind for the first movie from that character, but if Goyer pulls it off, maybe there will be sequels with the hero in his classic robin hood role.
