In case you've forgotten, there's a new superhero TV show coming this Fall. The CW will debut Arrow, a show based on Green Arrow, on October 10th at 8 pm ET/PT.

A poster for the show has been released but it looks like it might have been a little rushed.

Guess he forgot to put on his actual costume before this pic was taken. The show stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen and is under the creative control of Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg and David Nutter.

The synopsis appears to be sticking close to the actual comic origin with Ollie being marooned on an island and learning to survive on his own for five years. You can bet you'll be hearing a lot more about the show around here in the coming weeks.

Sooo, what was he attacked by?

That seems like it's distancing itself from the comics quite a bit.

DESTINY LEAVES ITS MARK

BUT NOT ON HIS PRETTY FACE THANK GOD!

Well I think its trying to do its own thing. Which is good but I am will remain cautiously optimistic.

A cross between Wolverine and a badger so horrible that no words could ever describe it.

That's good, get people that are buff, because superheroes are. The first right step.

Can't wait to see the show.

badgerine ?

"No charge for the view."

Can't imagine what demo they're targeting here. lol

looks like something bit him in the stomach.

Can't fugure out why they changed small things like him being referred to as "Arrow" instead of "Green Arrow" and the show being set in Starling City, not Star City. These changes are so insignificant, unnecessary and thus bothersome that it boggles my mind

I know the man's in shape, but really?

But what are the chances of viewers actually seeing all these really defined scars... Or is it just a metaphor?

Yeah, TV shows like always get posters. That's not new. Anyway, really looking forward to this.

lol. So True. I will not be watching this.

Will probably check this this whenever sky 1 get round to showing it in the UK

Definitely looking forward to this. I just hope that Ollie is less of a douche bag than he is in the comics.

topless guy. yep, you can deffinatley tell that this is a CWE show :P

Im suprised that they actually gave him a beard in the trailers. I mean, it covered up that face for like 5 seconds :P

I joke, but im still interested in the show. :)

Not bad. And he's probably not in a costume because CW probably thinks the show, and the actor, is more marketable without one.

At first, this looked like one of the old "Got Milk" ads.

Well since he was marooned on an island I am going to guess the wily land shark.

A badger on steroids, with anger issues.

I love the poster!!! I am so excited for this show!

lol conveniently all his scars accentuate his muscles...

So his destiny was to be animal food?

Just like Batman. Tons of scars on his chest and back but not on his face or arms. What could be seen... lol

Why doesn't he have blond hair?

That would be pretty amazing. If Bruce Wayne was COMPLETELY MESSED UP in a perfect square on the lower half of his face.

@SimonM7: That'd be pretty hilarious.

Honestly, my only nit pick so far is.. Why not call it Green Arrow?

So hot. Love the scars

BB

And thus Hollister Arrow was born.

I need the Errol Flynn look, damnit :( I'm still gonna watch this but man, just isn't the same without the Errol Flynn look, but then again Hartley didn't have it either. Ah well, I stand by what I said regardless.

oh come on guys, this is totally objectifying males. As males we should..... oh who am I kidding!

the scars are probably when he was in the island. I can't wait for this.

I hope it's good.
