SUPERHEROES/TV SHOWS – What to Watch if you Like the ARROW TV Show.

The TV show Arrow has introduced Green Arrow to a larger audience than the comics have. If it’s made you a fan of the character and makes you crave a bit more of him, I’ll show you where to get more.

Besides the comics, which I recommend, there are other shows Green Arrow makes an appearance in that you might be interested in. So I’ve made a list.

Here’s what to watch if you like Arrow.

DC Showcase: Green Arrow

This a short animated film starring Green Arrow.

While picking up Black Canary at the airport, Count Vertigo and the Merlin show up and are up to no good.

If you’re curious about how different the Arrow TV show is to the Green Arrow character as he’s originally been written in the comics, this is a great way to find out.

 Green Arrow in Justice League Unlimited (JLU)

In JLU, you will get much deeper into the character of Green Arrow than you do in the animated short above. You especially, get to see how well he interacts with other superheroes like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

He’s a very entertaining guy on his own but when he meets Black Canary in the show, it gets even more fun.

If you’re interested, here are the episodes of the shows where he is most prominently featured:

• “Initiation”
• “Fearful Symmetry”
• “The Cat and the Canary”
• “Double Date”
• “Flashpoint”
• “Divided We Fall”
• “To Another Shore”
• “Patriot Act”
• “Far From Home”

 Green Arrow in Young Justice

My favorite animated superhero cartoon also features Green Arrow, although, not a lot. He only make a substantial appearance in two episodes in season 2 of the show, and one is very dramatic. Those episodes are:

• “Salvage”
• “Satisfaction”

The thing that makes Green Arrow worth watching in the show is his relationship with Roy Harker, his protégé. Roy in Young Justice reminds me a lot of the Roy in the Arrow TV show.

I think, as a fan of Arrow, you might find this version of Roy fascinating. Especially when you discover what happens to him in season 2.

 Green Arrow in Smallville

If you’re more interested in a live action version of Green Arrow, you can always give the Green Arrow of Smallville a try.

This version of the character was played by Justin Heartley and is no where near as dark and brooding as the Oliver in Arrow Still, he’s very much the antihero of the show.

That said, he’s no less interesting and heroic. He’s also quite a bit wittier and much more humorous.

Green Arrow made his appearance beginning is season 6 of Smallville and he stayed on till the show’s end. His role in the show is pretty significant .

I recommend giving this Green Arrow a try as well.
