Arrow is a billionaire who's company also provides him with many technologically advanced gizmos, just like Bats. Arrow was also a highly trained martial artist/parkour master. Am I saying Arrow can take Bats? No, but there are many similarities between the two.

Batman's "power" is a batarang and grapple hook. Hate him, too? Arrow is an entertaining show along the Smallville line of thinking, only darker. I guess someone needs to tell Daryl on Walking Dead that his weapon is shite, too. Any volunteers?
