Fans Go Wild Over the Possibility of anAbsolute Green ArrowSeries
Currently, DC’s Absolute lineup includes six titles:Absolute Batman, Absolute Superman, Absolute Wonder Woman, Absolute Flash,Absolute Martian Manhunter,andAbsolute Green Lantern.With such a strong lineup of core Justice League heroes already established,it feels almost inevitable that Green Arrow will eventually join them with a title of his own.

There’s One Problem: How WillAbsolute Green ArrowBe Different FromAbsolute Batman?
What Will Oliver Queen’s Twist Be in the Absolute Universe?
While most fans are thrilled at the possibility of anAbsolute Green Arrow, there are still lingering questions and some voiced concerns. The most common worry, frequently raised in online discussions, is whetherAbsolute Green Arrowwill feel too similar toAbsolute Batman.
A defining element ofAbsolute Batmanis that it strips Bruce Wayne of his wealth, resulting in a grittier, more grounded version of the character. Since Oliver Queen’s advantageous trait in the main DC Universe is also his wealth, fans fear that his Absolute counterpart will simply follow the same pathand lose his fortune as well.
That concern has sparked the central question on discussion boards:“What will Green Arrow’s twist in the Absolute Universe be?”If Snyder and DC decide to remove Oliver’s wealth, it may come off as a repetitive retread of what has already been done with Batman. To makeGreen Arrowstand out in the Absolute Universe, the creative team will need to take a different and unexpected approach.
