Take a peek at the CW's new Green Arrow TV series

It's called "Arrow," because you can't adapt a comic book to TV without messing with it needlessly. It's a law.

Anyway, maybe with Hawkeye featured in the big "Avengers" movie, the wider pop cultural world is ready for a superheroic archer. Stephen Amell from the "Vampire Diaries" stars as Ollie Queen.

Show details:
While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver's own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.
