Lets give this a chance...

It's at least better than the zillion medical dramas and cop shows on TV these days...

They should just continue with GA from Smallville recast if necessary but don't go the Smallville route just move the character from Metropolis to Star City. Go the lost fortune route and make him the street vigilante he was in the 60's and 70's with dark story lines and not cheesefest romance that WB is keen to use to bring in legions of female viewers to up its ratings but ostracize the fans.
