It's funny how Green Arrow has almost become the Batman of TV. When Smallville was on the air, Bruce Wayne was off limits, so the -producers introduced Oliver Queen/Green Arrow to fill in as a millionaire playboy/non-powered costumed vigilante to interact with the Man of Steel-to be. In the current Arrow series, Queen works out of a subterranean base with a close knit group of operatives, has an ongoing feud with Ra's al Ghul and has had a hand in introducing a bunch of other heroes - once again filling the role that Batman usually would.
I loved how "Silver Age" Grendel once pitted himself against Batman by plagiarizing the Riddler. So, I would definitely buy a real-life gn featuring these two matching wits and weaponry!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, here's a little challenge for you: Radioactive Man (from THE SIMPSONS) vs. the Radioactive Man from THOR, et al.
Wasn't Green Arrow pretty much created as Batman with a bow? He had the Arrowcar and Arrowplane and so many of Batman's gimmicks. He even had a sidekick...
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using the Simpson's character Radioactive Man and even Fallout Boy but he/they should be teamed up with other superhero characters from shows within the shows. For example Captain Caveman from the Flintstones or the Brown Hornet from Fat Albert.
ReplyDeleteNah! Ross already has the Brown Hornet committed to Space Ghost's team.
ReplyDeleteUnless, of course, he's been kicked off the team for conduct un--bee--coming of a spacefaring superhero?
