Warning Graphic Video Ahead!

That means bring on the Governor, Michonne and the Prison! Take a look:
Season Three returns with 6 episodes this Fall.
The CW unveils the first image from Arrow. The pilot stars Stephen Amell (Hung) as playboy/vigilante crimefighter Oliver Queen. This photo shows a darker, edgier hero. The retelling is based on the DC Comics hero but creators say don’t expect this to be like Smallville.
“When I directed the pilot for Smallville, I knew that making Clark Kent relatable would be the key to audiences believing in him as a hero,” says pilot director/executive producer David Nutter. “Arrow is a different show — darker and harder-edged — but it’s the same core idea. We’re creating a real, believable world in which Oliver Queen can do incredible things. [Costume designer] Colleen Atwood’s great work on the Arrow costume reflects that effort.”
Thanks to TV Line.
For fans of the comic book version – legendary Ann Nocenti took over as writer this month. The DC Comics New 52 Oliver Queen is based on Seattle. (My home.)
