Would a Green Arrow video game work?

[Destructor9875]

Have it based off of Seasons 1 and 2 of Arrow as an inspiration and have this Green Arrow take more of a militaristic approach, visible kevlar in the design, killing (you don't put an arrow through someone's shoulder and expect them not to die of blood loss) and all that. He'd be on the island for 4 or 5 years but the last year he'd get picked up by customs and put in a (fictional) out of the way shoddy Chinese prison and have to escape and find a way back to Star City which is where he would get even more skills.

I mean, sure, you could. I'm dubious about how much appeal it would have beyond "Arkham clone", is the thing. Its not just that Green Arrow is largely "Batman with a bow", but the version you are specifically drawing from is even *more* "Batman with a bow" than the average Green Arrow.

Grittiness sells. And whimsical superheroes not named Spider-Man tend not to.

Grimdark gets old fast.

Especially when its the exact same flavor of grimdark that is already available in a different franchise.

I would love to see a Green Arrow video game. Take some inspiration from the Arkham games, but not too much. Have him go back and forth between being a fighter and then when using his bow, go into first-person shooter mode.
