Long before the DC Extended Universe became a thing, Warner Bros. was looking at developing a movie titled Supermax which would have revolved around an imprisoned Oliver Queen. Over the course of the R-Rated adventure, Green Arrow would have crossed paths with villains like The Joker and Lex Luthor but it never came together and has obviously vanished off the studio's radar since.
Will Arrow season seven borrow elements from that, though? At the end of season six, Oliver was arrested for years of utilising lethal force as the Green Arrow and producer Marc Guggenheim has now confirmed that the hero is heading to the fictional Slabside Supermax prison. That's obviously going to change his status quo in a big way and could point to us getting a different version of Supermax.
While it's unlikely The CW series will be able to utilise big name villains from the comic books, it seems like the first part of season seven will revolve around the vigilante's time behind bars which makes it the closest thing to Supermax we'll probably ever see. More details about what's to come are expected to be revealed at Comic-Con next weekend so be sure to stay tuned to CBM for further updates.
