Let ME write Green Arrow and he will have made provisions to preserve many of the giant props from Old Gotham City and the re-install in STAR CITY AS TOURIST ATTRACTION.<br /><br />"Prop Town" would finally give Star City some of the individual character it still lack after all these years.

They could even have Ollie invest in things that he knows will be important at some point in the future, such as the Daily Planet or the Wayne Skylight Glazier Company. Not that I think of Ollie as being that forward-thinking, but they could go there if they wanted.<br /><br />- HJF1<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-82985900483364014592022-12-28T11:19:13.861-05:002022-12-28T11:19:13.861-05:00It also makes sense of "Ollie The Tech Billio...It also makes sense of "Ollie The Tech Billionaire" if you want to fold that in. Because, although Ollie as a tech genius seems a bit of a stretch, Oliver as man who invests in 1940 in everything he knows will pay off he gets back to the present is definitely in character.Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112155718721908876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-82667802884069594232022-12-28T09:53:40.995-05:002022-12-28T09:53:40.995-05:00Believe it or not, “Ollie is angry because he has ...Believe it or not, “Ollie is angry because he has to be grim & gritty but longs to be a swashbuckling adventurer” would be consistent with the Mike Grell run. Grill’s Ollie is old-fashioned, has a sense of humor, and deplores the violence of the modern world. Given that the Grell run is where “grim & gritty” Ollie gets codified, putting connective tissue between Golden Age GA and ‘80s GA is impressive.<br /><br />- Mike LoughlinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-74437826805404941282022-12-27T16:03:34.554-05:002022-12-27T16:03:34.554-05:00This is bonkers and I love it.

I like to imagine Oliver getting into a fight with Hawkman and finding himself shouting: "someday they're going to invent plastic and I'm going to make a cat arrow out of it!"<br /><br />I observe, wryly, that they're STILL trying to patch the holes left by CoIE.<br /><br />- HJF1<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
