Green Arrow: Every Trick Arrow Explained
2. The Kryptonite Arrow
Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns is regarded by some as the greatest graphic novel of all time. And while that book is famed for its portrayals of Batman and Superman, Oliver Queen is just one of several other famed DC names to make an appearance in that 1986 tale.
With Batman and the Boy Scout duking it out, it's revealed that Bruce Wayne had called in a favour from an old friend. That friend, of course, being a one-armed Green Arrow.
Making his presence a pivotal part of The Dark Knight Returns, Ollie turns out to fire a kryptonite-headed arrow at the Man of Steel.
How did he get hold of that arrow? Why, it was specially crafted for him by Bruce - apparently at a hefty cost and constructed over a number of years.
Not only does Ollie get to wield this most unique of arrows in Miller's comic book The Dark Knight Returns, but, as pictured, the Green Arrow also turns up to make the exact same move, with the exact same weapon, in Jay Oliva's mesmerising two-part movie adaptation of that source material.
Elsewhere, the Emerald Archer has also been seen using a kryptonite arrow in the Arrowverse's Crisis on Earth X crossover event.
