"You have failed this city!"

Today I'm gonna write about "Arrow" - a TV series about a comic book superhero Green Arrow. (WARNING: Spoilers!!!)

My name is Oliver Queen. After five years on a hellish island, I have come home with only one goal: to save my city.

These are Arrow's words which open every episode.

Oliver Queen is a playboy billionaire (just like Bruce Wayne - Batman), he has his own company (like Bruce Wayne), he loves his city (like Bruce Wayne), but his perfect life is interrupted by an accident (which actually wasn't an accident), his dad dies (like Bruce's), but Oliver manages to escape to an island called Lian Yu (purgatory) (not like Bruce Wayne),

 where he meets Yao Fei, his first teacher,

 Slade Wilson (friend and enemy), Shado (friend, lover, Yao Fei's daughter) and many many other people. He spends there 5 years (well not exactly, because one day ARGUS hires him and he travels all around the world) until some fishermen notice him and take him to China, from where he came back home - Starling City. Of course everybody thinks he's dead, and when they find out he's not, they're not as happy as we could think. The only person who's truely happy for him is Thea, his younger sister. From now on Oliver decides to become someone else - Green Arrow, a hero or vigilante (basically like Batman) who uses bow and arrow to put a fear of God in criminals (Batman has his own special belt - who should know what I mean, knows it). Naturally he has a superhero indentification: "You have failed this city" and a cool costume - a green leather outfit.
The writers introduced some other characters from comicbook like Tommy Merlin, Laurel and Sarah's father det. Lance, Malcolm Merlyn (Magician), Moira Queen - Oliver's mother, Captain Boomerang, Barry Allen (Flash), Ra's Al Ghul, Nyssa Al Ghul and of course the members of team Arrow: Laurel Lance, Sarah Lance (both Black Canaries) and Roy Harper (Arsenal). But they also created some new characters like John Diggle ( a nod to the creator of the comic book) and Felicity Smoak who becomes a love interest for Oliver, she's an IT girl, at first she works for Oliver, then she becomes he's partner and mybe something else, especially after watching this video:

I can't wait for the next episode (wednesday) because last episode ended not so well because of Thea's death, so now they will to resurrect her in Nanda Parbat's water. Well, she will come back to life, but she will change, like Robin in "Batman under the Red Hood". In general Arrow and Batman have a lot of common, they have the same enemies, Gotham is next to Starling City, so they should meet, but they won't because of the producers. That's why we won't see anymore Captain Boomerang in "Arrow" or Harley Quinn (an Easter egg in one of the episodes). Arrow knows only Flash, but he will meet the rest of the Justice League, well the character, but they hire another actor so it's still not cool. Arrow is awesome, especially when he tries to act like a normal human being, but he forgot how to do it, so that's why it's so funny sometimes and unpredictable.
