Arrow & The Dark Knight




The Dark Knight movies made us fall in love with Batman after that horrible Batman forever. We were all a bit saddened when the trilogy ended 2 years ago. So driven by nostalgia I found several references or similarities to the Dark Knight trilogy in the television show "Arrow" which I wanna share with all of you. These heroes are very much alike, they don't have any powers, they are both billionaires who try to protect their cities. 

Here are some scenes that I found from Arrow that are similar to the Dark Knight Trilogy 

 
This is the very first time that we see Oliver with the Green Arrow suit and the scene resembles a lot the first time we ever saw Christian Bale as Batman.





Detective Lance meeting up on a roof talk to talk to "the Arrow" is not the first case of a law enforcer meets up with a masked vigilante.





In the 8th episode of the 2nd season of Arrow, "The Arrow" is chasing Solomon Grundy and he uses the same trick that the caped crusader used in the Dark Knight Rises: we only see the motorbike with nobody on it. 



 
Have you ever noticed the way that Oliver hangs up his suit? To me it resembles a lot the way that Batman hangs up his suit.





"The Arrow" questions a criminal by paying homage to Batman's interrogation in Batman Begins

I know this might seem like a long shot but Count Vertigo is introduced excatly like the Joker in Batman Begins





Most vigilantes have to disguise their voice in order to keep their true identity a secret. The Arrow and Batman have similar voices.



 
They both disappear while people still think they are in the room




Don't tell me you didn't think of it when you heard Sarah utter these words

Count Vertigo Threatens the city is a very peculiar way sort of like somebody I know




This post is by no means a criticism towards the tv show Arrow, on the contrary I love Arrow and I love the fact that they are paying homage to a great trilogy.
