Arrow is the best Batman TV show ever. And Gotham will be the best Bruce Wayne show ever. I can't wait to see a Bane-like version of Ra's Al Ghul in the Starling City version of Batman Begins' Gotham. It's going to be awesome.

Seriously, I find Arrow entertaining, and watch it each week, but I don't know if I will be able to make it through another season of League of Shadows references. I hope they step up their game a bit.

Arrow IS becoming Batman-lite!!! I love it but it's like it doesn't have it's own identity anymore. Utilizing Barman mythology like crazy. If a Batman show eer arises showcasing Batman, it'd be like damn AROOW using our world. Ra''s is strictly a Batman adversary I'm sorry. I think they'll do him justice on Arrow but it's starting to get tiresome..Batman references. The Arrow new 52 run proves tht Arrow and his mythology work well and are entertaining all on it's own

The series in my opinion will always be Batman like but Batman is DC's bread and butter and it they can use his outline and other things in their property, the whole grounded, dark, brooding, etc. type hero and have his villains why not use it

I don't mind the inclusion of minor Batman villains like Firefly but they're taking too far with Ra's. GA has some decent villains they haven't utilised, this is kind of disappointing.

If we can't get Oded Fehr, Naveen Andrews would be good.

How could you be disappointed if almost a fourth of Green Arrow's villains are from Batman's rouges gallery?...Ra's Al Ghul and the League of Assassins are part of Green Arrow's rouges gallery too..if you guys didn't know.

Why would you think Bane and not Ra's in Batman Begins?

Clip of Naveen Andrews as Jafar from Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, didn't watch much of the show but he made a pretty good villain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLYjDQlzE_Y

Arrow has never had or even attempted to have it's own feel or unique style. It's basically nothing but a plagiarist TV show that steals every plotline, character, situation from Nolan's movies and other Batman mythos.

Arrow is like a traced drawing or some kid cheating on a test. It is a culmination of ideas stolen from others.

It is the only comic book based TV show in history with no style of it's own.

they probably put think Bane cause Bane had a more terrifying presence in TDKR than Ra's in Begins.

@Rokyn
Ra's Al Ghul and Green Arrow have never fought.

@ManDeth
Yeah, they plagiarised the romance, teen drama and awkward humour perfectly.

It makes sense to mention Bane because he felt like far more of a threat than Ra's in Batman Begins. Begins was more focused on Batman, whereas the sequels were great at establishing villains.

Yes, Arrow is the only comic book show that is "unoriginal"...

*Tries not to look at Agents of SHIELD*

Didn't they already cast the guy from the Mummy movies to play Ra's?

Once they mentioned the League of Assassins we all knew Ra's was coming, why are people complaining now?

Batman-lite? Ra's has had trouble with even Superman, Green Arrow & Flash... SMH King Patel needs to read a comic
DCGuy
DCGuy - 8/16/2014, 10:53 AM
Batman bad guys used by Arrow... Deathstroke (who is not Batman only) & Ra's (who is not batman only)

yes Dark Archer, Count vertigo, Bronze Tiger and mutliple others are not from Arrow...oh wait yes they are

Isn't Ra pretty much a world evil force? I'm not seeing the issue with him being the big bad. Even fits pretty damn perfectly with the storyline they set up.

Ra's isn't exclusively Batman's bad guy - I mean he kind of wants to purge mankind.

In fact, if you look a the comics, you'll see that a few Batman villains didn't start out in Batman's pages - like Clock King or Shiva, but appeared in the cartoons as such. Merlyn, in fact, got his start trying to kill Batman, but Green Arrow stopped him. Deadshot was a Bat-villain before becoming a full-fledged character appearing in a starring capacity in Suicide Squad. A lot of these guys are interchangeable, and considering the Bat-embargo going on, I think we should be happy we're getting what we're getting.

DCGuy - 8/16/2014, 11:08 AM
Ra's has attacked the entire world and like I said has even gone Vs the entire league and Vs Superman

Deathstroke is NOT a batman bad guy at the most he should be a teen Titans bad guy if we start taking it like that.

Arrow has 2 Count vertigo's, Sharpnel, Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, Dark Archer, Clock king and more...

Funny how @Klone now does not want white people in shows...I forgot about how everyone is black in comics?

oh right Klone is a racist that said that the JL team should not include Cyborg because diversity of race is not a factor that applies to a hero
