Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Conspiracy theorist/Rorschach-esque JLU Question is probably the most popular, but I could see Arrow going with Denny O'Neil's Zen master martial artist version who teamed up with Green Arrow in the late '80s a lot, especially since they have been influenced by so much of O'Neil's other work with the League of Assassins, etc. If they can get Constantine back, they could do their own version of the Trenchcoat Brigade

OB_Juan posted:It's true that many of the versions of the Question are great, but I think the JLU version was probably the best. It could work really well mixed in with the TV news anchor version, I think. Just so long as he's insufferable. Save the newscaster character for Jack Ryder/The Creeper. Just let The Question be The Question.

The marine stuff was later folded in a bit more, but they retain a lot of his attention to detail and meticulousness in his constructs. There's an issue from several years ago which shows off him assembling a sniper rifle construct with each and every individual part as a separate construct as he puts it together. The lantern who has the "boring" constructs is Hal iirc.

grack posted:Hal Jordan was also taken down by a bird. An evil bird, admittedly, but it wasn't even green! Hal is the worst of the classic four human GLs. His only advantage is that he has the most "Willpower." Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz aren't great either, but it's nice to watch Cruz develop from someone with crippling anxiety to a full fledged superhero. Simon otoh is a lot less interesting. At least he doesn't have his gun anymore

If Captain Marvel/Shazam wasn't such a naming and rights cluster gently caress, I'd say Routh could do a pretty good Big Red Cheese.

I assume it'll be about Slade's search for his son. Which one though?

STAC Goat posted:I haven't read in a long time but traditionally, yeah, there's a lot of it there. He's long been the leftist voice for that world who confronts the rest of the heroes on their priorities and methods and how they only really care about big alien threats and never actually use their powers to make the world better or address societal problems. Back in the 70s there was a classic run where he traveled the country with Green Lantern confronting all the political and social problems of America where Arrow argued for radical change against GL's more moderate approach. He also has a similar "family" of sidekicks who have all manner of problems like drug addiction, daddy issues, and HIV from their prostitution pasts. Also he always cheats on Black Canary and everyone else he dates and neglects his "kids" creating all kinds of interpersonal conflict. Ollie's gone back to his leftist roots after Rebirth and still resists the JL because they tend to focus on the very large threats without really engaging in the more human problems. He used to largely run solo with occasional help by his half-sister, Emiko, daughter of Shado and Robert Queen. Unlike Felicity and Diggle, Thea wasn't written in. Idk where Felicity has gone, and Diggle is working with Merlyn. During New52, a larger overaching plot was set up regarding the Arrow Tribe, one of several secret groups based around some weapon or another. Oliver's dad was a part of it and the island they shipwrecked on was involved. Idk if that's still canon or relevant since it hasn't been brought up after Rebirth. He's more or less the reluctant hero iirc wherein he was pushed into the role because of those events. I haven't read the New52 GA stuff, so I'm not sure about that, but obviously there's a bit of the show that leaked in since they were coming out at around the same time. Currently he's trying to take back Seattle, renamed Star City, from a villainous organization who acts as the bank and financier for numerous supervillains and supervillain orgs. The person leading this takeover is a Trump-like figure (Make Star City Great Again) so the political parallels are a lot stronger. Ollie also got to recently interact more closely with the JL and came to an understanding with him being an auxillary member ("Friends with Benefits").
