This upcoming Green Arrow film Supermax, sounds more like a really bad action flick. with some villains with speacial powers mixed in, and one of the more interesting DC characters put at the head of the film just to get fans to go to it.
Why isn't this film being taken in a more serious direction? Green Arrow is called a second string hero, well, that's because no one has taken the time to put him in the front. Instead, he remains behind Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. The Supermax film will not help the character become a popular charater, instead, it may just push him farther back into people's minds.
If they really wanted to make a good Green Arrow film it would have to involve the Black Canary, the Green Arrow's one true leading lady. She's tough, she's smart, and she's incredibly beautiful. What more could a studio ask for in a character? With Black Canary by his side the story would have the romance (which ladies really like) but it also would add more to the character's relationships. The tension, the loyalty, the anger. That would be more of a film that i would want to watch. A film that actually explores the character, before watching the emerald archer sling arrows at people's heads.
