That was slow as [frick] for parkour. But then again I can't even do it so I should shut up.

@Grifter

As a Tricker and a Parkour head myself, the execution is actually done really well. It's not only about speed, but fluidity =]

It seems as though they are moving way too fast with this show. They need to slow things down a bit.

Looking forward to seeing this. Hoping in this show they stay away from the classic Green Arrow uniform and update it a bit, similar to Smallville, but diverse.

Parkour is intense. I did it for a little bit until I tore my ACL. Now I just do crossfit, which is probably the most intense workout you will ever experience.

You compared the Special Olympics to the CW, that is quite insulting to the Special Olympics. haha...

Green Arrow sucks as a lone character. This show will tank.

Already better than Justin Hartley
Not a fan of the character, but I'll keep an open mind for this, personally speaking CW seems to have stepped up their game a bit recently...

Parkour training for a superhero role? I think that's a first.

That actually looks it would be a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind checking out an academy for this.

I would never do that outside or on actual buildings though. I was a daredevil when I was much younger; but you always have to know your limitations.

Before Parkour, there was Jackie Chan...... enough said. :P

Of course, Spider-Man practices Peter Parkour:

@MoonKnight91, to answer your question, it's probably because they don't want to risk having a TV series based on mainstay characters like Superman and Batman affect the success of their film franchises, and Green Arrow is about the closest thing you can get to Batman without actually using Batman... oh, also Moon Knight is a Marvel character.

Cautiously optimistic. Ecstatic about comic books coming back to TV, though!
