Deadshot (Arrow)
Say what you will about Suicide Squad, but the garments and make-up were on point. Even the Academy Awards thought so. Will Smith’s Deadshot, in particular, looked amazing and you’d find few comic book fans complaining about his overall appearance in the film.
Michael Rowe’s Deadshot on Arrow, though, is another story. Take nothing away from the actor since this was out of his hands, but his getup was pure trash on the show. First off, he wore an eye patch on the show after Ollie took out one of his eyes, absolutely confirming that the producers mixed him up with Deathstroke. Then, he donned a laser eye patch and became the real Cyclops afterwards. Seriously, we’re not making any of this up; it happened.
Sure, the TV’s show budget is smaller than a big blockbuster’s, but here’s a suggestion: if the producers stopped screwing around with the locations for all the flashbacks, they’d maybe have a few more pennies to put towards better outfits.
