Inspired by Adam the theOtaku.com's bossman's series of theOtaku.com discuss posts on theOtaku.com's homepage, I begin today a post series specially for DC and Marvel Assemble where in each post, I present a topic that has to do with a DC Comics or Marvel Comics comic book hero franchise (though sometimes the theme will relate to both DC and Marvel stuff) and you, the readers post your comments about the post's topic in the comment box attached. It's not something I will do every day, but it's just a matter of posting topics when new ideas on what to discuss pop up in mind.
In the opening post of this forum series, the topic of discussion in general is the currently running hit T.V. series Arrow, the first T.V. show to have Green Arrow as the sole protagonist. So you're invited to share your thoughts about the show so far. Your commentaries can be something like if it's about favorite episodes, if it's about the show's sense of character development, if you find the show to be one of the best attempts to reversion DC comic book heroes for live-action film and television, if you find the show's lead actor acts and looks the role of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow well, if there any DC superheroes you like to see Green Arrow team up with in future episodes, etc.

Though this piece of news is dated days ago, I just found it online today and I want to share it with the DC Universe fans who visit theOtaku.com on a regular basis. According to Entertainment Weekly, DC Universe super-hero character Oliver Queen/Green Arrow will be getting his own live-action T.V. series. Though a premier date has not yet been confirmed, it will not have "Smallville" actor Justin Hartley reprise the role the archery superero himself. Anyway, it will be executive produced and written by Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, who last worked on the 2011 live-action film "Green Lantern" with "Green Arrow" comic book writer Andrew Kreisberg taking part and The CW to serve as its U.S. broadcaster.
