Apr 9 2007Green Arrow Prison Movie Coming
Batman Begins and Blade scribe David Goyer has dropped his long discussed plans for The Flash in favor of a take on a DC Comics' villain prison starring comic book dandy Green Arrow. Called Super Max, the film tells the story of a wrongly-imprisoned Green Arrow fighting his way out of prison while both employing the help of and avoiding the wrath of the supervillains he put there.
They shave his goatee and they take his costume and send him to prison for life, and he has to escape. It's like 'Alcatraz,' and he has to team up with, in some cases, some of the very same villains he is responsible for incarcerating in order to get out and clear his name.
I really like that they immediately shave his goatee when he's jailed. As if it isn't already bad enough that they've wrongly incarcerated him, placed him amongst his biggest, most powerful enemies, and taken his only power from him (shooting arrows, I guess), there's that final nail in the coffin. But it's just as well, I suppose. From what I've seen on Oz, he's just going to get it worse with that cute little waxed beard. If he keeps that, he might as well have a green arrow pointed right up his ass.

Or....He could grow that weird-ass goatee thingy like Beecher and become all Wolverieneene (what? how do you spell that?) and then slash some throats with his finger-nails. But, either way, he is going to be a prag.
Sorry for all the Oz comments, just got through getting me my fix.

So they want to tell the same story that was just done in a daredevil arc? Daredevil was caught and thrown into rykers and had to escape by getting help from his villains and fought the same villains that he put there in the first place. Was Ben Affleck to busy to do a second daredevil movie?

.... Green Arrow is suppose to be rich, not Bruce Wayne rich but pretty rich. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't go to prison ... or at least THAT prison.

I'm a HUGE GA fan, and I'd love to see a GA movie. This might be a good way to introduce him, and then in a sequel get to spend more time as GA. Having said that, this wouldn't be my first choice for a GA movie.

I like that they've taken to making lame super-heroes sequels to movies that never existed....what a stupid way to introduce a character
