Another year and another season of Arrow dear readers, almost like clockwork.  This year, to celebrate the CW superhero show that started it all I’ve elected to bite the bullet and finally dig into the best covers Green Arrow ever appeared in the DCU.  For the sake of context I’m mostly going to be drawing from what’s known as “the Long Bow” era from the 1980s as I really like the visual design of it and don’t care for the New 52 or Silver Age Green Arrow stuff quite as much, though I reserve the right to return to this particular subject matter should those other eras produce something worth digging into in greater detail.  With that said, let’s take a look at everyone’s favorite emerald-clad Batman knock-off (that’s literally his origin) with the top 10 Green Arrow comic covers.

As Arrow barrels towards both us and what might well be its final season, the pressure is mounting for CW’s original superhero show to deliver something truly new and dynamic for its fifth season.  That pressure has been there for Arrow pretty much ever since its spin-off The Flash started pulling in a larger audience and revamped the entire superhero television tone in late 2014 but Arrow is really feeling the burn this year.  

After a magic-centric 4^th season didn’t really shake loose any new viewers, this new season features Green Arrow putting together a new team of vigilantes inspired by his deeds to protect Star City.  We’ve been getting the casting news all summer but now, thanks to some behind the scenes pics and a new trailer, we have our first new look at team Arrow 2.0.

Flash's New Season 2 Costume

As CW’s The Flash preps for its season 2 premiere later this year we’ve received a steady drip of teaser trailers and character reveals.  The latest installment of this is the reveal of Flash’s new costume for the upcoming season.  For the most part this costume is looking the same as Flash’s old duds with the major addition of a white circle emblem eclipsing his chest lightning insignia.  The new design could mean a lot of different things but it certainly conveys a central new fact about The Flash as a show overall and its plans going forward.  This new, circle costume actually appeared previously on the show, worn by a future version of Barry. 

It was the future Barry who came back in time with the Reverse Flash the night Barry’s mom died and even convinced his younger self not to save his mom.  It seems clear from the outfit change that The Flash wants to maintain a sense of chronological momentum with its characters moving forward and changing as the series goes on.  This was always sort of in question for The Flash as unlike Arrow it didn’t take the tract of its hero having to really earn his stripes.  Barry Allen is the Flash from about mid-way through season 1 forward while on Arrow Oliver Queen is only considered to be Green Arrow in this upcoming season.
