Exclusive: Teen Wolf Vet Colton Haynes Joins Arrow as…Who?!
by Damian Holbrook
Ya might wanna sit down for this one, Arrow fans. TV Guide Magazine
has learned exclusively that the CW show — which is already exceeding
its hot limit with Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy and Colin Donnell —
has just hit a major bull's eye by signing Teen Wolf alum Colton
Haynes.
"We were big fans of Colton from Teen Wolf and we are thrilled he's
joining Arrow," says executive producer Greg Berlanti of the actor,
who is set to begin appearing on the show in 2013 as none other than
Roy Harper.
DC Comics aficionados will recognize that name as the young marksman
who has been known as, since his debut in 1941, the Green Arrow's
sidekick Speedy, Teen Titans member Arsenal, and the Justice League's
drug-addicted, one-armed Red Arrow. While details on this iteration's
possible secret identity are being kept, well, secret, Haynes' Harper
is being described by The CW as "a handsome, street-savvy, teenager
from 'the Glades,' the harsh, poverty-stricken portion of Starling
City."
The recurring role will provide a love interest for Willa Holland's
Thea (who is also nicknamed "Speedy"...hmmmm), as well as some serious
juice for the show's growing mythology. According to the network's
breakdown on the character, in addition to falling for Ollie's little
sister after crossing paths "in an unexpected way," Roy is "destined
to become a significant part of her life and an important player in
the larger world of Arrow." In other words, this is awesome.
The casting comes just two months after Haynes shocked Teen Wolf fans
by tweeting out his decision to leave MTV's hit drama, although there
is nothing surprised about how fast it took another show to snatch him
up. Seriously, look at the guy.
Are you psyched to see Colton Haynes get his bowhunter on? Share your
deepest feelings in the comments below!

Alls I know is from the recently-vanished YOUNG JUSTICE show where
Luthor an' 'em took it for cells for cloning. (Hmm... not sure if
that show gave him the addict background.)

I didn't recognize the actor's name, but I instantly knew who this was just
based upon asking myself: 'which TEEN WOLF' alum would a show like ARROW
most likely cast.

Aparently not. I haven't seen all of the episodes but I don't find any
reference to Speedy or Red Arrow past drug use on "Young Justice". Too
bad just like in the comics 41 years ago it would be a great way to
send an anti drug message, but Ironically people might be worried
about having drug use in a "kiddie show" even though DC Comics got
wide priase for that storyline in 1971. "Young Justice" is
sophistcated enough for it IMHO.

I agree that is why I put "kiddie show" in quotation marks. People who
don't wach it may just regard it as a "kiddie show".

I found it amd it is mentioned out right:
"Clark tells the President that Batman will never be brought in alive.
Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow, drops in to see Bruce. He lost an arm
because of Superman, and want to assist Batman."
http://batmantdkr.weebly.com/book-4-the-dark-knight-falls.html
So amrisk8 is technically right.
But it doesn't say that Superman actually took his arm off, just says
that he was responsible, but how it is not mentioned. Did superman
actually rip off his arm or does Green Arrow hold Superman
responsible for some mishap that he feels Superman cased or failed to
prevent that cost him his arm. I've been searching the NET for an
explaination and the circumstance but I can't find it yet.
In one telling Green Arrow was killed in a bomb blast because he felt
he would rather die than be maimed because the choice was should
Green Arrow let Superman take off his arm to prevent the bomb from
exploding and save many people and save GA's life or save many people
but GA dies but he keeps his arm. In that telling GA perfered to die
and did
http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Green_Arrow_(Oliver_Queen)
Maybe in the "Dark Knight Rises" book series Superman went against
GA's wishes and saves GA's life at the cost of his arm, earning GA's
hatred.
Or something else happens.
This isn't the first time some body held Superman responsible for the
loss of an arm:

A few years ago during a weapons test in which Superman was a
volunteer target, a tiny piece of shrapnel went into Derwent's left
arm. Infection and blood circulation problems began to occur, and by
the time the medics had examined the arm, Gangrene had set in.
Derwent's arm had to be amputated. The general blames Superman for the
loss and believes that the Last Son of Krypton should have taken
precautions to prevent any damage.

So the General blames Supes for his bad luck. Maybe Ollie is doing the
same depending on the circumstances
So until Isee something that explicitly says that Supes ripped off
GA's arm physically. I am not going to find the Big Blue Boy Scout
guilty.

It doesn't say the circumstances it happened in. Without that it could
be very possible that Oliver is blaming Superman for something even if
Superman never touched him or wasn't even his fault.

losing track of the cliche? (Or, somewhere in between, having Ollie
lose track of what he was saying?)
