Green Arrow New 52 Issue #0 Review
I heard people talking about the New 52 Green Arrow and how his Batman light, I of course didn't buy into it because not that deep down I already know Oliver Queen is more warm hearted Bruce Wayne. That being said I didn't like the reimagining on Green Arrow's story because it didn't feel like Oliver Queen it felt like an Else World Bruce Wayne. The comic has nineteen year old Oliver Queen partying on a Queen Industries oil rig and because Ollie breaks protocol pirates board the ship to steal oil. Ollie alongside Tommy Merlyn goes and plays hero Ollie making a mistake causes the deaths of everybody on borad the ship except himself and Tommy only because Tommy pushes him off the rig and falls a long with Oliver. With that origin it screams Batman like it's not even trying to hide that it's copying The Dark Knight, which is sad cause while Batman and Green Arrow are very similar the minor diffences show case how different they are at the core. The Oliver Queen I wanted to see is a man betrayed by a friend and left to die on an unknown island where he learns to become a skilled archer with said story it would have shown why Green Arrow is such a left wing superhero. Showing how money and power screwed him over and coming back to a city were the diffence between the upper and low class is so great anyone can see the line that divides the rich and poor. This Emarld Archer is feels guilty and is trying to cover the sins of his past by doing the "right thing" in short this isn't a Batman light it's a Batman wannabe.
