New Green Arrow writer Chris Condon discusses the character's distinct personality compared to Batman, highlighting his rebellious nature and how it has evolved over the decades.
Green Arrow may have started out as little more than a Batman copycat, but new series writer Chris Condon has found the perfect way to differentiate the Emerald Archer from the Dark Knight. Both characters are rich playboys who moonlight as costumed crime-fighters with high-tech gadgets, but their individual personalities couldn’t be any more different. In an interview with AIPT Comics, Condon talks about the approach to the character in his new Green Arrow series.
‘I think he’s always kind of been a little bit more of a radical,’ Condon says of Oliver Queen, explaining, ‘just in terms of what he does and how he does things.’ Condon goes on to explain how the revamp of the character by Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams informed everything that came after it, with Ollie’s personality as a rabble-rouser remaining intact throughout the decades: That kind of goes back to the first Green Arrow stuff that I really read, with the Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams stuff and it goes all the way into the Mike Grell work, which is fantastic obviously, I’ve talked about that enough. And on into you know, on into later iterations, whether you’re talking about the Jeff Lemire or any of the Josh Williamson stuff that I’m following, that character has remained. That’s what I was interested in, in terms of the character. Green Arrow Is More “Radical” Than Batman New Green Arrow Writer Chris Condon Explains the Difference Close Green Arrow and Batman have long had a shared legacy, with the Emerald Archer basically acting as a second-rate Batman in his earliest adventures. Much like Batman got around in the Batmobile and Batwing out of his Batcave, Green Arrow also zipped around town in an Arrowcar and Arrowplane before retiring to his Arrowcave
