Jokeren og Gækkeren med i "The Green Arrow"

Filmen er fyldt med kendte skurke.

Manuskriptforfatteren Justin Marks har snakket med MTV News om den kommende DC Comics' film "The Green Arrow", og her afslører han, at filmens hovedperson ikke er den mest kendte figur i filmen.

Marks fortæller: "Oh, we've got Lex Luthor in there," udtaler han. "I'm pretty sure Riddler gets his shot — Ed Nigma gets his moment."

I filmen, der har arbejdstitlen "Green Arrow: Escape From Super Max", er Oliver Queen uretfærdigt sendt i fængsel for såkaldte meta-mennesker, og her må han sætte sin lid til en ordentlig bunke skurke for at slippe ud igen. Skurke der blandt andet tæller Luthor og ikke mindst Jokeren.

Eftersigende er den bedste del af filmen dog fængslet: "It's a very, very awesome prison. I majored in architecture in college, and design is how I actually started in. For 'Super Max,' designing that prison, it had to be the kind of thing that was a character in and of itself," fortæller Marks. "We're in a world where instead of just trying to contain a guy who's really big, you're trying to contain a guy who can — in the case of Icicle — who can freeze things. What kind of a cell would a guy like that need in order to have his powers neutralized? So to escape from Super Max they have got to go through the most elaborate heist we've ever seen, involving superpowers. Because the prison itself kind of has superpowers!"

Marks tilføjer, at Queen ikke får en traditionel baggrundshistorie: "We do deal with his origin — he's got a very interesting origin with a desert island and everything else — but we get to the core of Green Arrow not by showing where he starts but by pushing him into a key moment in his life where everything he has is lost, and he's got to earn it all back," he said. "I think for audiences it's going to be a great way to get to know a new character."
