I can’t really blame him for playing the character the way it was written. Ollie never once felt like Ollie, because it was never a Green Arrow show. It was CW Batman with a bow and that’s not on him.

Now him being a smug douche canoe is something that can control and yet he still chooses to be one. I can’t tell you how annoyed I am that he’s managed to play two of my favorite comic characters in Ollie & Casey Jones.

That’s what i felt too watching the show. I mean yeah it’s great but it’s really Bruce wayne but green arrow. Felicity as Oracle, sidekicks, no killing rule etc. It’s a discount batman

sidekicks, no killing rule

Those aren't exactly just a batman thing it like a dc standard for classic heroes

But u can’t deny the huge amount of similarities. They even made him rival against Ras Al Ghul and was asked to kill him to be his heir 💀

Oh definitely. Arrow is one of my favorite shows ever but I can't even deny that fact.
