They've also changed his character so he's more like the driven and haunted Bruce Wayne of the Nolan movies. In the comic books, Ollie is more of a natural playboy in the vein of Tony Stark, albeit with a strong political streak. Arrow has also made Deathstroke more important in Oliver Queen's life than he is traditionally. Manu Bennet has been so successful in the role that he becomes a recurring character in season two. In fact, more (every?) shows could benefit from Deathstroke the Terminator joining their cast.
