True. Even that Silver Age story about "Green Arrows of the World" was a revised Bat-tale!
GA was conceived as a "second-string" Batman, just as Martian Manhunter was conceived as a "second-string" Superman. Gave the writers other characters to work with so the big guns wouldn't be "over-exposed".
I wouldn't say J'onn was conceived as a second-string Superman, though that's pretty much the way he was used in the early JLA stories. In his own series, his powers were somewhat different; mostly invisibility, shape-shifting, and walking through walls. Before the JLA, J'onn didn't even fly -- he propelled himself through the air with super-breath. Even in the JLA stories, the powers he used most often were flight, super-breath, and Martian vision, only occasionally making use of his super-strength.
Heck! He didn't even terraform his eyes until _after_ he joined the JLA!*
*Prior to that, they were a hundred percent black; what you might call the polar opposite of Little Orphan Annie's optics.
I loved Mike W. Barr's Green Arrow miniseries in the early 1980s. It was a classic murder mystery but Barr (and prolific Batman writer) did a great job contrasting the way Green Arrow would go about solving a crime, as opposed to Batman!!!!
OMG, that's Dave Gibbons' background for the free transfers with issue 1 of Doctor Who Weekly in 1979! If I hadn't had gotten that comic I might have grown out of Doctor Who and had a normal life.
That was a great miniseries I wish he and von Eeden had been given a continuing series in that vein!
