In a recent panel at the Salt Lake City Comic-con Stephen Amell, the man who portrays Green Arrow in the television series Arrow talks how he feels about DC television universe crossing over with the DC Cinematic Universe, I don’t think that logistics are going to make it possible for the television universe and cinematic universe to co-exist,” Amell said. “We shoot for ten months out of the year, literally ten months. And, boy, I’m just thinking about how difficult it’s going to be for when we do crossover episodes with The Flash, the logistics of that." Stephen Amell then was asked if he would want Green Arrow to star in the upcoming Justice League film, He replied, “Sure, I’d like to be in it. Absolutely! If Hawkeye can be in the Avengers, then Green Arrow can be in the Justice League.” To see more of what Stephen had to say about Season 3 of Arrow premiering on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, hit the link below!

Arrow is an American television series developed by writer/producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Andrew Kreisberg. It is based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, a costumed crime-fighter who was created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp. It premiered in North America on The CW on October 10, 2012, with international broadcasting taking place in late 2012. The series follows billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, portrayed by Stephen Amell, who, after five years of being stranded on a hostile island, returns home to fight crime and corruption as a secret vigilante whose weapon of choice is a bow and arrow. Unlike in the comic books, Oliver does not go by the alias "Green Arrow" in the television series. Arrow also features appearances by other DC Comics characters.

People who say Stephen Amell perfectly encapsulate Green Arrow and only him should play the character are stupid. I still think we hvae yet to see the definitive green arrow on tv/movies but the tv show does a good job. The only thing I hate about Amell's acting is that he sounds constipated when he delivers a line.

Don't like my TV and movie universes mixing. Sh*t gets complicated.

There's pretty much a very slim possibility of this happening now that they've further expanded their "TV cinematic universe", they had a good chance of thing that universe with the DCCU but I can't throw shade at them for it, they already had plans for their universe. Would've been a giveaway though...

I'm fine with Green Arrow being in Justice League too. Is Josh Holloway available?

What I don't get is why the shows aren't allowed to use certain DC heroes and villains. If the shows and movies are separate, why do they need permission from WB/DC to use characters? Do they really think it's going to confuse viewers? They've already done that by having two Flash characters and this TV/Movie separation in general is confusing.

Jesus, none of this shit makes sense and we're all fans of this.

He's not going to spoil the crossover this early in the DCCU. I feel like the 3rd justice league film will be similar to a "crisis"; but thats probably in 2021. Stephen is most likely aware of these long term goals by DC, but he'd be lynched if he just went out and said it. It'll be a while, but I really think it'll happen. It's one of DC's few cards they can play that Marvel literally can't match. Though technically Marvel still could do their own "crisis", it wouldn't be as momentous as a Flash, that we've grown to love, crossing over with a completely different Flash that we also grew to love. Please don't wait this opportunity DC!!

Green Arrow totally could be in the Justice League, but not that guy Amell plays.

Not to be bashing Man of Steel or Dawn of Justice, but for me, Arrow and The Flash are the real DC live action universe. Granted that Arrow had its ups and its downs in the first season, but it has really tight storytelling and interesting characters. At the very least, its earned my respect as a unique entry into the genre.

Sure Green Arrow can be in Justice League, just not CW's version of Green Arrow

Hawkeye is a original member of the Avengers, Green Arrow is not.
Hopefully this never happens.

I think it goes without saying that GA is not a member of the Avengers.

It would be dope, but it ain't happening. DC has made that much clear.
