"After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he’s become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver’s own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine."

That would be a good idea. 23 is too much,so many filler episodes each season.

I really like this show! I just hope Brandon Routh doesn't ruin it for me moving forward. :-(

I am sooooo for the idea of a mini-series spin off... of multiple characters for that matter. Suicide Squad & Firestorm could well benefit from a mini-series treatment. About 10 epidodes, 2-3 seasons max.

That would be really great idea to do, much like AoS is doing with Agent Carter

After I heard that this show wouldn't tie into the DCCU I instantly lost interest. Should be good enough to keep people satisfied until all of the big hitters arrive though. I still give them mad respect for expanding this universe, I just hate separate live action Universes from silver screen universes.

Great show. One of my favorites on tv right now. My only criticism is that Ollie is way too brooding. He's not Batman he's Green Arrow and he should have more charisma and charm.

Also a look like this would be awesome



But it could be worse

I wouldn't mind if all shows did this. The winner breaks suck hard. Follow marvels lead, next year do suicide squad, then the following year do a teen titans mini. Oh and by the way.

JGouveial@ Those were registered 14 years ago. Not really news anymore. Most characters' names are registered by the studios regardless of whether they are going to do a film or not. In this case 16 years plus and later it just may happen.

@JGouveia Me and one other person got our articles taken down considering those domains were, you know, 10 years old.

As cool as the Suicide Squad spin-off show would be, I don't think that's the right way to go about it.

I don't want to see the number of episodes per season be reduced.

mgeoff88 - 9/1/2014, 11:38 AM
@M0D0K Lol! That meme doesn't make any sense. You're saying it would've been better for Oliver to have killed non-violent criminals as opposed to violent criminals.

Btw, a white collar crime is a financially motivated non-violent crime.
