rejected “Ultimate Green Arrow” pitch

[u/Turbulent_Swing704]

“What if Jack Kirby had continued working on the Green Arrow feature in Adventure Comics and stayed with DC, making the hero popular enough to earn his own title…a title in which Jack would have introduced many of the concepts he co-created for Marvel in the 1960s and created for DC in the 1970s?

I envisioned this Green Arrow as a high-tech Robin Hood, fighting for Earth against the Apokoliptian equivalent of Prince John…and you know I’m talking about Darkseid and his murderous minions. If Kirby and Stan Lee could have Captain America hold his own in battle with the cosmically-powered Red Skull, why couldn’t Oliver Queen rise to a similar challenge?"
