Green Arrow: Escape From Super Max had the potential to be a great comic book movie that ignored the standard superhero formula. The film would have skipped the hero's origin and took things in a much more interesting direction. Written by David Goyer during the mid 00's, the movie was set to begin with the Green Arrow being framed for a crime he didn't commit and thrown into a high-tech prison featuring some of the DC Universes most vile villains (half of whom Arrow helped put away). The plot would then follow Green Arrow as he attempts to break out of the prison and clear his name, all while taking down an army of villains in the process. The premise sounded promising and the initial buzz was strong, but Super Max currently resides somewhere between the first two levels of development purgatory.
