It seems that the CW has ordered an hour long pilot featuring Green Arrow. The series is being written and executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim &Andrew Kreisberg. The tentative word is the the pilot might directed by David Nutter, who directed the Smallville pilot, episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Game of Thrones, Shameless and Entourage. For those who don't remember, Green Arrow started out as a guest star in the 10 year running Smallville where he was portrayed by Justin Hartley. No word yet if Justin Hartley would be reprising the role, but the idea being bat about is to put the character in a new world not based on the DC comics. They tried that with Smallville for a minute but eventually DC continuity reared it's head because despite popular belief more the comic readers know who Superman is and that he lives in the same world as Batman and the rest. Green Arrow being a lesser known character outside of Smallville might work in a world without other DC character - there's much doubt about this but one never knows.
