The CW have officially picked up Arrow, the new TV series about DC Comic's Green Arrow, for the 2012-2013 TV season. TV Line were among the first to report the news, as The CW picked up five new series for the next season, including The Carrie Diaries, Cult, First Cut and Beauty & the Beast.
Arrow stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, who was presumed dead for five years, until he is found on a remote island. Returning home, the wealthy Oliver decides to create a vigilante alter ego.
Many of us were fans of the TV series Smallville, but many of us hated it. (I was one of the many who was a fan although very disappointed by the series finale) We can only hope that this series does not end up like Smallville. I'm sure we will all at least check out the pilot episode and hope for lesser known DC characters to be brought to the small screen.
