Report Comment this is going to be a train wreck

You are so wrong. Train wrecks are interesting at least.

New poll: What is more watchable, a train wreck or Arrow? Someone get that going please. I am on team Train Wreck.

@Owlman Where is that avatar from?

im gonna watch the pilot episode, that chick is hot the guy playing green arrow looks to be in ridiculous shape for the show. but if his masked is painted im on that will kill the show i hated black canary looking like on smallville and now green arrow with have a painted masked that is pretty weak. but the show looks better than some of the other stuff on tv

I am surprised at the overall negative comments on this thread. From what I've seen, it looks pretty good to me. Like anything with movies, comics, shows, etc., you decide if you're going to watch or read it, but nobody knows what the finished product is until it's aired/read. I don't like the fact that things sometimes aren't exactly like the source material, but that's the fanboy in me. I'm also open minded enough to give things a shot if they are indeed quality, despite minor changes from the source to the adaptation. If it does suck, then congratulations, you won an internet arguement. But if it's awesome, you're going to look like a raving lunatic. Point is, nobody can predict if something is going to be good or bad until it's ready. Hell, I thought Green Lantern was going to be awesome, but boy was I wrong. And for the record, Green Arrow is a very dynamic, complex character and does not suck. I also enjoyed Smallville (the first seven seasons anyway) and do not consider myself an asshole nor a brainless trog.

I think for a CW show, this looks great so far judging by the trailers. I really do wish he would put on some kind of mask to complete the costume but this looks a thousand times better than any other superhero TV show except for maybe The Incredible Hulk TV show with Bill Bixby.

In order for this series to ensnare my attention, there should be a high quantity of skin scenes from Dinah.

Katie's a really talented actress. She doesn't get much credit for her kind of, trashy-teen tv credits, but she's great. They really did do very well in casting her.

You can ALWAYS almost immediately tell when a CBM or CBTVS is not going to do very well. In interviews with the cast or production staff, those being interviewed always deliver "tow the line" answers to every question asked. Case and point: "I’m just there to do my job. I’m really excited about it! I think it’s going to be really, really fun. I’m working with a great group of people, and everyone is amazing and really talented. I’m really lucky to have given the opportunity to do that." - Katie Cassidy. And that's in direct opposition to movies you feel good about like the upcoming "The Amazing Spider-Man". Just listen to interviews with Andrew Garfield or Emma Stone. They are energetic and really into their part in making their movie/TV show whatever resonate with the fans. As a DC guy, I really really wish WBs would get their heads out of their collective a$$@$, get out of DCs way, and let them do their characters some "justice" (pun intended).

I haven't seen her in much, but I have a good feeling about her as Dinah Lance: she looks like her and seems like a good fit for the role.

If the show does well enough, and more seasons are ordered. Katie eventually needs to become Black Canary.

Even though Dinah won't have her "Canary Cry", she would still be bad ass.
