Here’s what it has cooking. When we finally get to see filmmaker Kevin Smith’s “Green Arrow,” it will be as a 12-issue limited series.

Smith has had recent conversations with DC editors and affirmed that he desperately wants to do the project that will return Oliver Queen to the DC universe, but can’t seem to find the time to write it. He already has a good chunk of it in his head, perhaps all of it, but getting it down on paper is harder.

Maybe it’s time for Smith to adopt a scriptwriter who can take the general plotline and turn it into a book. In an interview three years ago, Smith told how he plans to bring Green Arrow back from the dead and the ramifications of that action.

I said I would not divulge it and I won’t, but it will be so cool it will make Smith’s “Daredevil” look like the “Powerpuff Girls.” Actually, the archer is already back, but you had to be quick — it happened in one panel.
