First Thoughts: CW's Arrow

Finally got around to watching the preview trailer to the CW's new series Arrow; based on the DC Comics' Green Arrow character.

Just being a teaser we didn't get much, but it was enough to get us interested in seeing an episode or two if nothing more. Still too early for us to tell how this one will play out.

However we still have to wonder if the CW is doing the right thing. Think back a little less than a year ago and one of CW's biggest shows was Smallville; a show about a young Clark Kent (Superman). And in this show there was a Green Arrow; played by Justin Hartley, who in his own right was a fantastic Green Arrow.

It just seems that it would have made more sense to stick with what they already had; an established Green Arrow with backstory already in place, an easy way to bring in other heroes and guest stars, and probably the most important thing for any show, fans. A lot of people liked the Smallville Green Arrow.

What do you guys think? Should the CW have stuck it out with the Smallville version of Green Arrow? Or have they done the right thing by rebooting the character?

Smallville Finale (Review)

After ten years Smallville has finally come to an end.

Now I must admit I didn't watch most of Smallville's run; three episodes into the first season I said nuts with this, but gave it another shot during it's season seven run and was hooked.

As far as the finale goes though, it went as expected (which was not all good).

First the only physical action was between Clark Kent "Superman" (Tom Welling) and Oliver Queen "Green Arrow" (Justin Hartley); a fight that lasted all of a minute of airtime.

Next we have the fact that there was just way to much that needed to be wrapped up into this 2 hour finale. We needed to see what Lionel Luthor was up to, in what capacity Lex would show up in, when would Clark fly and get his suit, and the outcome of all the objectives Darkseid had set out to accomplish.

Now all of these were covered but for a two hour event, this was just way too much. Another two hours might have been helpful.



Over the last few episodes the show had been bringing in different characters / actors from throughout the last nine seasons, for their one final hoo-raa. Even Aaron Ashmore who played Jimmy Olsen made an appearance in the final moments of the finale (apparently playing a younger brother to Jimmy Olsen).

In the end, it was still a very impressive episode, everything wrapped up, favorites making one more run at glory, and an ending that allows for these characters to show up again somewhere in another DC tv show (Raven perhaps?).

So for a simple conclusion, if you have the chance to catch the season finale of Smallville...DO! And Smallville, you will be missed.

Day / Night Conundrum

So it has come to our attention that if you live in Metropolis or Gotham (yes they are fictional cities) that you need to pay close attention to the time when going out to commit a crime.

For those in Metropolis, Superman tends to work only during the day. So if you're looking to break the law, you may want to consider doing this at night.

However this does not hold true in the Smallville universe because this Superman (still currently being referred to as the Blur) manages to work both day and night; as seasons have progressed he tends to be working more at night.

This gives Smallville a little of that Batman type atmosphere that a lot of people prefer.

Speaking of the bat, when looking to do wrong in Gotham city, DO IT DURING THE DAY!! Bruce Wayne cannot manage a company, make public appearances, and be Batman during the day, but at night he doesn't have to spend his time managing his company and most expect him to be asleep, so he can easily be Batman.

Just wanted to throw this out there.

Our Smallville Ideas

Eight seasons, several sexy heroines and countless villains later, what more could Smallville offer viewers to keep them coming back. Well we have some suggestions.

1. A Darker Story Arc
The last time we saw Clark Kent he showed us that he has become angry with himself, and maybe ready to finally admit that not everyone contains good or caring qualities and he may in fact have to sacrifice one in order to save hundreds.

2. Darkseid
The conclusion of season eight ended with the arrival of a mysterious figure, our hopes is this figure will be revealed as the villain Darkseid. To learn more about Darkseid you can read his Wikipedia page.


3. The Caped Crusader Himself - BATMAN
Do we really need to say more. This show will go at least nine seasons, and with the way the economy is there is no guarantee for more, so why not give fans what they really want, the two biggest DC heros Batman and Superman together in one place.
We could honestly settle for Bruce Wayne simply making a business trip to Metropolis; maybe to discuss possibly purchasing Luthor Corp from Oliver. Just a suggestion.


Have a suggestion of what you'd like to see, well leave us a comment. - GJ
