    He'd have to be to justify using a bow after 1600 AD.

    Not to me. "Looking cool" means actually looking smart. Not taking the extra time to draw you string

    They used guns, too, though. And by the 40s, nobody was using them. IMO it's just a "we think it's cool so let's keep it even though it makes no sense"

    (Shrug) Green Arrow makes it look cool.

    By this point you're complaining about the core concept of the character

    Is this the CW? Do they even have the budget for good choreography?

    And none of that changes my argument? He's doing exactly what I said was the problem. It only works on an isolated island where he has no other option

    Um, yeah, that is what I'm doing.

    Yeah, and it's pointless.
    If you don't like the concept then move on, there's no point in complaining about it.

    It's not like I'm saying DC should get rid of the characters. But that doesn't mean I think it's not a little stupid.

    Arrow had pretty good fight choreography.

    Most of the clips aren't from the island?

    Well when you're a superhero usually you have a no kill policy unless you're a vigilante or anti-hero and thus not a superhero.

    & Arrows are less deadly than Bullets.

    And?
    It's a fictional character, it doesn't need to be realistic

    Any more stupid than a Batarang? Or a colorful costume? No hero is immune from some kind of "stupid" theatrical presentation that's part of the fantasy of superheroes. That's why a lot of people used to think comics were stupid in the first place.

    Doesn't he use a bunch of trick arrows with lethal potential?

    Um, that's not quite true.

    While you have a point, Batman isn't trying to replace a gun. He's trying to take in people non-violently, and he's using a fictional weapon which can do that. Green Arrow is using a real, obsolete weapon to shoot projectiles, while Batman can rapidly throw batarangs.
