DC Showcase: Green Arrow

wow this is one fast paced animated short film.blink and you'll miss.it's just under ten and a half minutes long but it feels a lot quicker because it's pretty much all action and nothing else.i was just getting into it and it was over.i realize you're not gonna have a lot of story or character development in such a short time span,but even a hint about what kind of person the character is would be nice.if you're not familiar with character of the Green Arrow,you still won't know anything more about him after watching this short.at least with the Jonah Hex short,you got an inkling about what kind of man Hex was.this one was mildly entertaining from an action standpoint,but i wanted more.for me,DC Showcase: Green Arrow is a 5/5

Loved a short glimpse of arrow in this. Characters and everything make it so perfect.

Green Arrow (2010) is the third of four DC Showcase films on a DVD titled Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam. The storyline surrounds Green Arrow when a prince is scheduled to land in his hometown of Emerald City. A renowned assassin threatens the life of the prince so he will need to try and stop him.

Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos (known for Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse), the movie boasts the voices of Neal McDonough (Minority Report), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Grey Griffin (The Book of Life) and John DiMaggio (The Super Mario Brothers Movie).

The animation is polished, reminiscent of a traditional Justice League cartoon. The storyline is clear-cut, with straightforward dialogue and predictable outcomes. The action sequences are engaging, and the conclusion aligns with genre expectations. Overall, I would give this a 6/10 and recommend it to fans of the superhero genre.

This short deserves a follow-up TV series. There's so many stories to tell about the wonderful adventures of Green Arrow and Black Canary.

Still waiting for the live-action adaptation of Green Arrow.

It may only be 11 minutes long, but it manages to capture the essence of Green Arrow in no time at all. At to that a plot with is simple but very effective. Green Arrow must protect a princess from assassins at an airport. DC may be screwing up their live action films, but at least this shows that not all hope is lost. The animation is fairly standard, but the action scenes are fluid and easy to follow. There's a lot of tension for only 11 minutes, and I kind of wish this had been a climax to a live action blockbuster. Could be a super-hero Die Hard movie. But then again, Green Arrow has too many similarities with other superheroes, unless he is directly compared to them by being in their same universe.
