Dating all the way back to 1941 when he made his first appearance in "More Fun Comics" #73, Oliver Queen is a billionaire who leads a double life as expert archer and costumed hero Green Arrow. Over the years, Queen has been a member of the Justice League and even Mayor of his hometown, Star City.

Justin Hartley previously played a television version of the character on "Smallville", becoming a regular cast member in later seasons. It's not mentioned whether or not the new series will connect in any way, but it is noted that Hartley is not being sought to play the role at this time.

"Green Arrow" isn't the only DC superhero being planned for the small screen. Plans for a "Booster Gold" pilot were announced late last year with "Blue Beetle," "Deadman" and "Spectre" series still believed to be in various stages of development. Of course, just because a network expresses an interest in a pilot doesn't mean that a series will see the light of day, as was the case with last year's proposed "Wonder Woman" series.

Bryan Q. Milller, story editor and writer on the CW series, says that ‘Smallville’ might have more stories in it yet. Miller has picked up the idea of continuing ‘Smallville’ in novel form. The proposed novel would, in essence, be a sort of season 11.  There’s no official announcement from either CW or DC Comics, so Miller’s idea could switch tracks and end up being totally different altogether.  I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Miller’s ‘Smallville’ season 11 ends up back in the format from which its lead character originated. The real question begging to be asked is: Will it still be ‘Smallville’ if the characters have left the namesake town? Wouldn’t it just be Superman?

And, especially if it ends up in comics, what would differentiate ‘Smallville’ from the ‘Superman’ and ‘Action Comics’ titles already published by DC Comics? As a fan of ‘Smallville’, I’d like to see a continuation that follows the mythology of the show, which was different from that in the original Superman comics or that of the rebooted New 52 Superman titles. What do you think? Would you like to see what happened after the Clark Kent of ‘Smallville’ finally became Superman? If so, would you rather read it as a comic or a novel? 

Smallville: The Complete Series is available now!

According to TVLine, Durance will appear in a Season 2 episode of 'Harry's Law' as a "psychologically infirm" woman who thinks she's the DC Comics character. In her Wonder Woman persona, Durance's character seeks revenge on those who commit domestic abuse. Durance will appear in the 11th episode of 'Harry's Law,' which does not have an airdate yet. Audiences may recall NBC produced a pilot for a new Wonder Woman series from 'Harry's Law' creator David E. Kelley. The pilot never made it to series.

No word on whether Durance will don the iconic ensemble. (Keep your fingers crossed!)
