Arrow pilot

On October 10, 2012, the world premiere of the new show Arrow was aired on the CW.  Arrow is a new tv show about a superhero, and is based off of the fictional character "Green Arrow" from DC Comics.

There has only been one episode released so far, but I feel like I already know the storyline for the rest of the season, or maybe even seasons.  The main character, Oliver Queen, played by Stephen Arnell, is a found billionaire playboy.  He is found on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean after his yacht was shipwrecked.  He returns home and you find out he has developed almost superhuman capabilities on the island.  I have never read the comic, so whether there is more to the story (which there probably is) I am unaware of it at this point.  He plans to use these abilities to become a Bruce Wayne/Batman-esk vigilante.  He sets up his "bat cave" or headquarters in an abandoned warehouse and proceeds to start his take-down of what seems to be a corrupt corporate world in his city.

The story also has many sub-plots as well.  There is the typical romance with the woman who cant get to close because he is dangerous and has broke her heart and all that.  There are also obvious family issues that he must resolve and survive.

Overall I thought it was pretty good.  Executive producers and developers are Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Andrew Kreisberg.  I would recommend you watch the pilot because it would help explain pretty much everything even though you could probably grasp it if you decided to jump in.  It aires Wednesday nights on the CW.
