Latino Review SUPERMAX Script Review
The guys over at Latino Review have gotten their hands on the David Goyer Green Arrow script that is currently titled SUPERMAX. If you go over to Latino Review they discuss the script in great detail (SPOILER CITY). If you dislike spoilers stay away from the source article
The film basically starts with Green Arrow in prison being stripped of his gear and alter ego. He is left n de-robed hero in prison, and has to break out. In order to achieve this end, he makes alliances with criminals he himself put in prison in order to get out.
I must admit, this is a pretty interesting take on a superhero film and I am now quite curious about the project.
I am trying to unlearn what I read in the script review as I type. ….gone. ADHD has its perks.

I like this idea as a good cop movie. But not green arrow.
What’s the point of Green Arrow if he doesnt have his gear??
Once you take away everything that defines the character all you are left with is a normal guy.
Its a great story idea, but use it on some minor hero who still has his identity without his toys. Luke Cage or something.

Hey doug it isn’t just DAVID GOYER who wrote the script. JUSTIN MARKS was also involved in this script as much as DG.

A vendetta from D.C. is the best work they could put out. Marvel is my preferred comic book company. I haven’t read one comic ever but I have seen a lot of the movies. Batman and V has been the only D.C. Superhero that has done anything for me. After seeing Green Arrow on Justice League Ultimate and Oliver Queen/ Green Arrow character on Smallville I have seen the same love that I did from Batman and V. So in this entire movie looks good.

“What’s the point of Green Arrow if he doesn’t have his gear?”
The same can be said about Batman or even Iron Man.

Thank you for bringing that up Don. I should have sourced properly, It was not intentional; but I apologize none the less.

Meh. Another Superhero movie where the Hero stays out of costume most of the film. And is Green Arrow really a Superhero? Has he super strength or is he just a decent archer.
And who the hell wants to see a movie about this character? There is nothing remotely cool about the way he looks, his “power” or his poofy goatee.
I predict….that this movie….will never be made….ever.

I quite like the concept, although 99 percent of the audience will have no idea whatsoever who Green Arrow is.
This sounds like a project that is purely made for geeks. I’m not sure if it would connect with a wider audience.

This is a movie I’d watch, though I am a sucker for Super hero films, no matter the quality.
Elektra comes to mind…
