[[Justin Hartley]] portrayed Oliver Queen/Green Arrow in ''Smallville'', and is first introduced in the season six episode "[[Smallville (season 6)#ep112|Sneeze]]". DC Comics writer [[Mark Waid]] had particular praise for Hartley's performance, stating "I think Justin Hartley nails Green Arrow perfectly, I mean, there's that brashness, that, cockiness – but not to the point where you want to smack him  – but right up to the edge."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SYP8QCpAHUo&feature=youtu.be|title=The Legend of the Emerald Archer|website=YouTube|date=21 December 2013 }}</ref>

[[Geoff Johns]], former President and CCO of [[DC Entertainment]], and who wrote for Hartley in the episode "Absolute Justice" concurred, saying "I love Justin as Green Arrow. I didn't realize how good he was until I saw him on screen. Like, I knew he was good; but every line he delivered was perfect. He can make any line sound good. So I was pleasantly surprised by how much he stole the scenes."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.kryptonsite.com/geoff-johns-absolute-justice.html |title=KryptonSite Interview: Geoff Johns Talks Absolute Justice! |last=Byrne |first=Craig |date=2010 |website=KryptonSite |access-date=February 8, 2020}}</ref>

The character starts off as a recurring character who is already an established vigilante in his home of Star City, and is originally paired with [[Lois Lane (Smallville)|Lois Lane]] in a romantic storyline. After a rough start, he becomes a trusted ally and friend of [[Clark Kent (Smallville)|Clark Kent]]. Green Arrow retains his many unique arrows and demonstrates expert archery skill, along with skilled use of a [[crossbow]] with many trick arrows. In the episode "Justice", Oliver teams up with Clark to put an end to [[Lex Luthor (Smallville)|Lex Luthor]]'s experimentation with supervillains by teaming up with other superheroes Clark has met on his journeys, forming a prototypical Justice League. Oliver is seen again in season seven for the episode "[[Smallville (season 7)#ep143|Siren]]", in which he continues his fight against LuthorCorp and meets another superhero, [[Black Canary]], whom he recruits for his Justice League. In a flashback sequence in the season seven episode "[[Smallville (season 7)#ep147|Veritas]]", a young version of Oliver Queen can be seen being played by Luke Gair.

From season eight through season ten, Hartley is a series regular, and is woven into the backstory of ''Smallville'' through the Queens' business connections with the Luthor, Teague, and Swann families; Oliver was a childhood friend and schoolmate, and later a teenage bully, of Lex Luthor. In the season eight episode "Requiem", Oliver risks his friendship with Clark by killing Lex, something which Clark would never support. Over the course of the series, Oliver and Clark become increasingly close friends and they establish themselves full-time as superheroes, working with other members of the Justice League when required. Oliver later becomes romantically involved with Clark's best friend, Lois's cousin [[Chloe Sullivan]], whom he ultimately marries. In the series finale, Oliver serves as the best man at Clark and Lois' wedding service, and Chloe is shown to have a son in the future, who is implied to be Oliver's. ''Smallville Season Eleven'', a comic book continuation of the show, reveals he is Oliver's son; Jonathan Queen, named after Clark's adoptive father.

During the sixth season of ''Smallville'', there was talk of spinning off [[Justin Hartley]]'s portrayal of the character Green Arrow into his own series. Hartley however refused to entertain the idea, feeling it was his duty to respect what ''Smallville'' had accomplished in five seasons, and not "steal the spotlight" because there was "talk" of a spin-off after his two appearances. According to Hartley, "talking" was as far as the spin-off idea ever got.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Smallville: The Official Companion Season 6 |last=Byrne, Craig |date=March 2008 |publisher=Titan Books |isbn=978-1-84576-656-6 |location=London |pages=136–138}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/former-smallville-star-reveals-green-arrow-and-lois-lane-nearly-had-a-spinoff-series?amp |title=Former Smallville Star reveals Green Arrow and Lois Lane nearly had a spin-off series' |last=Marnell |first=Blair |date=June 1, 2018 |website=[[SyFy]] |access-date=October 12, 2019 |archive-date=June 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613000131/http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/former-smallville-star-reveals-green-arrow-and-lois-lane-nearly-had-a-spinoff-series?amp |url-status=dead }}</ref> A spin-off series in which Oliver led the Justice League made it into early development.

In January 2012, following ''Smallville''{{'}}s conclusion, [[The CW]] prepared a new series centered on the character Green Arrow. [[Andrew Kreisberg]], [[Greg Berlanti]] and [[Marc Guggenheim]] were announced to be developing the series.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/01/12/green-arrow/ |title='Green Arrow' TV series near pilot order at The CW! |last=Hibberd |first=Justin |date=January 12, 2012 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=April 2, 2020}}</ref> A week later, the series was ordered to pilot, to be directed by [[David Nutter]], who had previously directed [[Pilot (Smallville)|the pilot]] for ''Smallville''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2012/01/18/green-arrow-tv-pilot-ordered-by-cw |title=Green Arrow TV Pilot Ordered by CW |last=Goldman |first=Eric |date=January 18, 2012 |website=IGN |access-date=April 2, 2020}}</ref> When developing the series, producer Marc Guggenheim expressed that the creative team wanted to "chart [their] own course, [their] own destiny", and avoid any direct connections to ''Smallville''. Thus rather than continuing on with Hartley's incarnation of the character, they opted to cast a new actor in the role and establish the series as its own separate continuity.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url= https://ew.com/article/2012/07/30/arrow-cast/amp/ |title= 'Arrow' producers explain why Justin Hartley wasn't cast |last=Hibberd |first=James |date=July 30, 2012 |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |access-date=October 9, 2019}}</ref> At the end of the same month, Canadian actor [[Stephen Amell]] was cast in the titular role of Oliver Queen.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://deadline.com/2012/01/stephen-amell-is-green-arrow-lands-title-role-in-cw-drama-pilot-arrow-223663/ |title=Stephen Amell Is Green Arrow: Lands Title Role In CW Drama Pilot 'Arrow' |last=Andreeva |first=Natalie |date=January 31, 2012 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood]] |access-date=April 2, 2020}}</ref>

The series, titled simply ''Arrow'', follows the story of former playboy billionaire turned vigilante Oliver Queen after he is rescued from a presumably deserted island, where he was shipwrecked five years earlier.
