It wasn't that long ago that we saw Green Arrow on television on an almost weekly basis. On Smallville, Justin Hartley was seen fighting evil along Tom Welling's portrayal of Clark Kent. Many thought after Smallville ended its tenth season we'd see a continuation with Hartley reprising the role. That didn't happen but it appears that The CW hasn't lost faith in the character.
According to InsideTV, The CW is giving thought to bringing superheroes back to a television near you. A pilot has been ordered, which doesn't guarantee a show will actually happen but it's a step in the right direction.
Don't expect Hartley to return as he is not involved with the project. The executive producers/writers are Greg Berlanti (Brothers & Sisters) and a couple names that should be familiar to comic readers, Andrew Kreisberg (Vampire Diaries, Fringe) and Marc Guggenheim.
No further information is available. Green Arrow joins Booster Gold, Deadman, Spectre and Blue Beetle in the list of DC characters with a television show in some stage or production. Hopefully we'll start seeing more progress on these potential shows.
Thanks to The Dark Huntress for the tip.
