Waiting for his return is his mother Moria Queen, his sister Thea Queen, his best friend Tommy Merlyn and his dad's old CEO and now his stepfather Walter Steele. He then starts his plan to get rid of the people that has been taking advantage of the powerless and the poor. First on his list is Adam Hunt, a corrupt billionaire who has gain his wealth through unlawful means. He first threatens him to transfer 40 millions dollars to an account that he provided. Naturally Adam Hunt refuses to hand over his money. Using a welcome home party that Tommy has thrown for Oliver's return as an alibi, Oliver cross the adjacent building, which is where Adam Hunt is, stormed his base and stole  Adam's money by hacking his account and giving it to Adam's victims.

This is hard enough but what makes his task more difficult is detective Quentin Lance, father of Sarah Lance who blames Oliver for his daughter's death. Oliver now has to be more careful as he juggles with his secret life as a vigilante and being the person that his family wants him to be.


The Pilot was interesting enough to make you want to watch more episodes. It has a feel of Batman begins and somehow a feel of Smallville. Why Batman begins, there are similarities with the way Oliver has gone missing and started his training with how Bruce got his training in the Batman begins movie. It is also similar to Smallville because of the Merlyn-Oliver friendship thing. Eventually Merlyn would be his enemy and he would learn to use the bow and arrow. It might be jealousy that would push Merlyn to hate Oliver. I predict that Laurel Lance would pick Oliver or Oliver might go after Merlyn's father or someone close to him. Well that's just my prediction.

I would give Arrow a few more episode before deciding on continuing watching the series.
