Stephen Amell’s turn as the hooded vigilante Green Arrow in The CW’s Arrow has proven a huge success thus far, so it makes sense to use Amell’s likeness and voice in other DC-related projects that feature the character.
Green Arrow in NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive’s Injustice: Gods Among Us video game has been a confirmed character for months. All the superheroes and villains in the game such as The Joker, Batman, The Flash, etc. are based on their comic counterparts and not television or film-related portrayals.
However, NetherRealm has added a skinned version of Green Arrow that will be based on the likeness and voice of Stephen Amell. Imagine going up against recently announced Doomsday with Green Arrow and hearing Amell mutter the words “Doomsday, you have failed this city” as the fight gets underway. I’m not saying that’s how it will go as I don’t know. But I would be shocked if Arrow’s signature line from the CW show didn’t make it into the game, maybe while he’s finishing off an opponent.
You can see the Stephen Amell skin in action in the fight below that pits Green Arrow up against Superman, followed by a couple high resolution screenshots.
Injustice: Gods Among Us comes out on April 16 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii U.
