A "Different" Kind of Superhero Film

David Goyer plans on making a Green Arrow film, but not the type you'd expect. Apparently he will only be Green Arrow for the first ten minutes of the film and then we find ourselves dealing with a very different kind of movie that Goyer calls, "Super Max". Goyer gave details on his script:

“He’s Green Arrow for the first 10 minutes of the movie, and then he’s arrested and his secret identity is revealed. They shave his goatee and they take his costume and send him to prison for life, and he has to escape. It’s like ‘Alcatraz,’ and he has to team up with, in some cases, some of the very same villains he is responsible for incarcerating in order to get out and clear his name. Of course, tons of people try to kill him while he’s in there. We’ve populated the prison with all sorts of B and C villains from the DC Universe. For the fans, there will be all sorts of characters the hardcore comic book junkies will know, but they’re all going to be there under their human names and no one is wearing a costume, but there will be a lot of characters with powers and things like that.”

A movie about a superhero put in prison to team up with the very villians he put there in order to prove he's not guilty? Ok, so the concept itself has been done before, but the players could make this very interesting, I like the idea of a superhero movie that's not really about the hero's origins or personal troubles of being a hero. We've done that 100 times already. A person becomes a hero. He has trouble accepting his life as one, but in the end he realizes it's for the best! We get the point. This concept sounds much, MUCH more interesting. I hope it takes off.
