Arrow Action Figures Coming Soon from DC Collectibles

Gotta love the folks at DC Collectibles for actually listening and giving us what we want case in point, this nice two-pack featuring Oliver Queen/ Arrow (Stephen Amell) and Deathstroke.

Sad though that this is "island" Deathstroke and not Deathstroke from Arrow Season 2. Also you really can tell that the pack is a bit dated because the figure is still using the face paint/ war paint. Still its a nice addition to your Toy shelf.

The pack is already out and retails for give or take $50 from the WBShop.

TV5 is Ripping Off Green Arrow with Robin Dude

I screamed profanities when I browsed the TV this afternoon when they show this were about to premiere entitled Robin Dude. Based on what I saw, the guy was running around rooftops and I assume he's fighting crime in the barrios.

What's wrong with this channel? I mean really? I'm greatful that they're pushing comic book/ superhero genre in the limelight but I think it's a bit pathetic that they're not even coming up with their own heroes. Rather, the station just greenlights stuff and then rip off everything. 

Case in point: Kidlat; the Derek Ramsay starrer which looks uncannily like DC's Black Lightning. 

If you're unfamiliar who this is based on, this is based on the DC character Green Arrow. A Justice League member and secretly Oliver Queen, a millionaire who operates in Star City. Going back to Robin Dude, I'm not really sure that this is going to be a TV series or it's a one-shot thing. What I do know is that it's the following:

• It's riding on the popularity of CW's 'Arrow' starring Stephen Amell, which is a more legit TV series based on DC's Green Arrow. 

•  I find it ridiculous that they took almost everything about the costume from the Smallville version of Green Arrow...

I'm actually surprised that they didn't even snag the same type of arrow and bow. 

Honestly, I'm appalled with this. Oh and I smell a lawsuit, scratch that, I'm half wishing they get slapped with a lawsuit for this one. 

Update 2: Yup it's a series apparently.

Robin Dude. pweh.

First Look at the Unmasked Deathstroke in ARROW

I totally loved the easter egg in ARROW where we get to see Deathstroke the Terminator's mask in Oliver Queen's camp (this was I think in the first episode). Now there are some news sites that are already showing what this bad ass looks like without his mask. Here's a peak.

Yeah kind of unappealing. Well it's better than the New 52 and Pre New 52 version of the character who looked like this:

GREEN ARROW JOINS INJUSTICE and DEATHSTROKE APPEARS IN ARROW

Green Arrow has been officially announced as a new addition for the game INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG MEN.

This is certainly interesting. The guy looks like a total badass in this new shot taken directly from Entertainment Weekly.

New Still Image from CW's "Arrow"

The Green Arrow TV show is officially well underway with a new announcement from CW as well as a complimentary new image featuring Stephen Amell who plays Oliver Queen.

The new show will be part of CW's 2012 - 2013 lineup of shows and will air every Wednesdays in the US followed by the Supernatural season 8. 

CW also shared a new synopsis of sorts for the TV show which really rubs like a modern day take on Green Arrow much like what the WB did with Superman ala Smallville.

After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he’s become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver’s own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.

While we're on the subject of "Arrow" heres a look at Amell in his Green Arrow garb.
