10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Green Arrow
10. Black Canary Is His Only Love Interest
DC Comics
The Black Canary/Green Arrow partnership is legendary in the medium.
They're by far DC's greatest power couple (sorry, Bat-cat shippers), with their relationship having survived death, resurrection and, by far their most impressive feat, multiple alterations to the DC Multiverse. It might be surprising, then, to discover that Ollie and Dinah haven't always been the item fans know and love.
While Dinah is and should always be his main love, Oliver has, over the years, briefly had romances with Arrowette and Sandra Hawk, the mother of his son, Connor. While Arrow fans may point towards Shado as being another love interest, the character's comic book roots are an entirely different matter altogether, and is someone who definitely shouldn't be included in a list of Ollie's loves.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
