if they were aware, green arrow could have a distance advantage. But since not I think red hood will take this fight in a good scrap

This should be good. I'll sit back a bit before I offer any arguments.

Although it is kind of clear who I will debate for...

Here is the New 52 Green Arrow Respect Thread and New 52 Red Hood Respect Thread for those who haven't been reading these titles.

I cant even give an opinion I didn't even notice Green Arrow was in the New 52.

Olly should take this I think.

Going with red hood he outclasses green arrow in everything except marksmanship

I would say Red Hood until Jeff Lemire takes over Green Arrow and turns him into a bad ass.

Hmm... The surroundings should help give Jason a better chance at avoiding Ollie's shots and making the distance "problem" obsolete. He has more than enough cover to dart around from and he's a pretty darn good shot himself so he isn't exactly useless in that regard. If it ever came down to hand-to-hand, Jason would have the advantage, although I doubt Ollie would allow that to happen so quickly.

I like green arrow, but I dropped that comic after a little bit. It was not excellent.

I haven't read anything on either character during the new 52 but do either have any stealth feats? Green arrow as far as I can tell has the advantage there due to his mask having thermal imaging. He also seems a lot more accurate to me (shooting off grifters mask) and also seems more versatile due to his trick arrows. I think he wins due to better accuracy and gear.

Agreed. These were my first two New 52 titles. Jason just has way more impressive feats than Ollie. Mainly due to Ollie's poor writing staff, but he seems to struggle with every villain he has. Lime and Light, Rush, etc. Really? I love Ollie to death, but he's just awful in New 52. Glad he's getting a competent writer. Like I said though Jason takes this easily. He hasn't lost a step as far as skill goes, even though he's taken a backseat the last couple issues to Kori and Roy.
