The ‘Arrow’ Revealed!

According to Deadline, the image to the left is the “Arrow,”(above) from the upcoming CW series.  I could just be a bit off-base, but I was expecting a new interpretation of DC’s Green Arrow (below).  Instead, it looks like they’re sticking to, essentially, the same costume as the character wore on “Smallville.
