Our first look at Stephen Amell as CW's 'Arrow'

Arrow will be "darker and harder edged" - OK, we get the point.

Thanks to the CW, we now know what the new Green Arrow outfit looks like on "Arrow" star Stephen Amell. Pretty cool.

As for the pilot itself, director David Nutter says he is drawing on his experience from helming a certain other super hero series in the DC Universe:

“When I directed the pilot for Smallville, I knew that making Clark Kent relatable would be the key to audiences believing in him as a hero. Arrow is a different show — darker and harder-edged — but it’s the same core idea. We’re creating a real, believable world in which Oliver Queen can do incredible things. [Costume designer] Colleen Atwood’s great work on the Arrow costume reflects that effort.”
