Will she eventually go the route of sidekick?  Merlyn is the name of Ollie's best friend.  Will he evolve into the Green Arrow nemesis of the same name?The Deathstroke mask on the beach was very, very cool.  It was almost a visceral reaction for me, all from seeing a freakin' cloth mask...Honestly, while I've always liked Green Arrow, he never made it into my top-tier of heroes.  I'm totally fine with them not hewing directly to the pre-New52 canon.But then, I really enjoy the New52 version of Green Arrow.  A more accessible Olliver without the goofy goatee & in-your-face liberalism.The thing I'm wondering about the most, however, is how much the "super" aspect will be in the show.  Will we ever see a Black Canary with Canary Cry or will we keep the more "realistic" street-level tone...On my watch list.</blockquote>
