Stephen Amell Says Green Arrow Would Beat Batman in a Fight, Teases DC Comics Cameos

Stephen Amell is no stranger to speaking his mind, as the star of Arrow has maintained a very active Facebook page for much of his run on the show. But during a recent panel, the actor took things a step further and said that the Green Arrow would beat Batman in a fight!

Amell appeared at a recent Heroes & Villains Fan Fest where, according to ComicBook.com, he spoke about the possibility of The Joker's appearing on the CW hit. "Well, I mean, the short answer is yes, of course," he said. "Within the DC Universe, if they are in the DC Universe...If you were to ask if Iron Man could come to Arrow, I would be like, 'Well, no, probably not.'"

"But of course, The Joker could come to Arrow. Batman could come to Arrow. Superman could show up on The Flash," he continued. "There's a whole myriad of options because again DC and WB have a slate of films coming up, and those films happen, and maybe Arrow's still around when they're done. Or maybe there's a change and people are just like, 'You know what, let's invest in something that's doing well for us.' So you never know."

The topic then changed to who would win in a fight: Batman or the Green Arrow? Amell simply answered, "Me."

"What do you want me to say? Well, Batman's more experienced and his costumes cooler, and Arrow's just a ripoff, so Batman would win for sure," he joked. "No, I would win, absolutely."

Those who criticize Arrow commonly claim that the titular character is just a watered down version of Christopher Nolan's version of Batman, a fact of which Amell seems to be acutely aware.

More interesting, though, is the actor's assertion that various DC Comics characters can show up on any of these series in the shared TV universe.
