15 Reasons To Check Out ‘Smallville’ When It Hits Hulu

8: Justin Hartley’s Green Arrow

Before Stephen Amell became the Green Arrow of CW’s Arrow, Smallville had introduced the Emerald Archer for the first time in live-action as Justin Hartley suited up as the iconic archer. In many ways, it was Hartley’s popularity with the character that definitely raised the character’s awareness to regular viewers and even comic fans. Hartley’s Oliver was a great contrast to Clark as we saw the TV series show us and Clark other ways of being a hero and gave him a different perspective of the role of a hero. While it wasn’t a Green Arrow show per say, we do get to explore Oliver’s background that does honor the comics and we even get introduced to some of his characters like Black Canary and Speedy. Even though there were dark periods of this character, throughout most of his run, Oliver was always portrayed as the witty and smart character that we know and love from the comics.
