Kevin Smith Interested In Writing For ARROW

If you loved tonight's episode of The Flash, then you're going to love the idea of Kevin Smith being interested in making his way to Arrow to write for the Emerald Archer. You're also going to love what villain he wants to introduce.

Tonight's episode of The Flash was fantastic, and with the recent announcement about how writer/director Kevin Smith would be returning early on for the show's third season to direct the Scarlet Speedster in another episode, it seems like the DCTV Universe is welcoming Smith with open arms. During a recent interview with Variety, Smith spoke about how much enjoyed directing The Flash, but if he could write for any hero, it would be for the Emerald Archer.

“I prefer not writing the episode because what we were able to do with me not writing it was, at least for me, substantial and wonderful … just as a directing exercise, I was so happy with it,” explained Smith. “So I wouldn’t want to write on ‘Flash.’ I would, though, like to write on ‘Arrow.'” The director then went on to reveal just which villain he would want to see the Green Arrow take on. "I would love to jump in for a one or two episode arc just to bring that Onomatopoeia character to life. That would be so badass – I created this character in the comics and then to do a live-action version of it that fit into their universe, fit into the run of their show? That would be exciting to me. That’s the one I can get my head around writing, but ‘Flash,’ whenever they bring me back, I think I prefer somebody else doing it. I heard rumor that when I go back, I think Zack [Stentz] might be writing my script again, which would be amazing – we’d be keeping the home team together, so that’d be cool.” 

Kevin Smith is known for two of the best story arcs ever written for Green Arrow, 'Quiver' and 'The Sounds of Violence', the story arc that introduced one of the best villains the archer has ever faced, Onomatopoeia. So the idea of Smith coming in to write a few episodes for Arrow might be the only thing that will get (real) Green Arrow fans to watch the show again, and it's something that definitely needs to happen. What do you think about Kevin Smith coming in to write for Arrow?

He created a character for Green Arrow, so hopefully Ozimotopia gets to be in the script.

Yes, please. As a Green Arrow fan, he really understands the character and could finally make the show feel like the comics.

God I hope so. Have a 2-3 episode arc like the Brick episodes in Season 3 but with Onomatopoeia, have the tone be like S1 even if it's just for those episodes. And no Olicity bullshit romance.

The CW isn't allowed to touch Onomatopoeia after the seasons they've shat out of their stupid assholes.

They'll make him talk and be an ex boyfriend of Felicity.

Or he'll be a throwaway villain in one episode.

I'd be interested in seeing him take on a movie. I knoe he was supposed to do Superman and Green Hornet, but it would be interesting what his take on a superhero property would be in the day-and-age of shared universes.

@Quicker - Let him write the Green Arrow movie and have him do Black Canary justice. Smith writes amazing dialogue and he would rather not direct a big budget comic book movie.

Green Arrow: Charlie Hunnam




Black Canary: Natalie Dormer

@Kr08 - He would great as Green Arrow for DC and also great as Ghost Rider for Marvel a bit on the nose but great nonetheless.

@Kr08 - A Green Arrow/Black Canary movie would be epic. Especially since it wouldn't require a big budget. I'd love to see Count Vertigo as a villain.
