Roy really is becoming his father.

Seriously why is Lian still in Gotham? why is Roy not being her present parent? Why doesn’t she use a bow, literally was taught by her father and grandfather? Has she even interacted with Donna on page yet? Why is she with Jason over Dick?

• listens to the Smiths, he is a canon R.E.M fan this is totally possible. And I bet Oliver was rolling in his grave knowing his blood was out there listening to Moz

• Still Can’t Drive, avid user of Public Transit

• Doesn’t pay taxes, I know people like to headcanon Oliver as the tax evasion man, but it’s Connor. He just doesn’t do it.

•keeps the bow from Robin Hood that he used to use above his non existent mantle. It’s like the only thing hanging on his wall.

Like sure Arrowette maybe could be read that way, but Golden Age and Silver Age Oliver was never really seen with women. Dinah was his first real love interest. I mean that man was head over heels, absolutely devoted to her before Mike Grell stepped in and forced in the Oliver who gets around. And it just snowballed from there.

If you only know Roy from Red Hood and the Outlaws + Red Hood/Arsenal, you can shut the fuck up about Roy and Oliver’s relationship.

That shit got sorted out instantly. Like after the events of Snowbirds, Roy was sending gifts back him to Oliver. He keeps photos of Oliver in his house. He’s called him Dad. Oliver calls him son. Roy considered Connor his brother.

LET HER BE A LEGACY HERO. GIVE ME DINAH DRAKE LANCE AND LARRY LANCE!

Dinah Drakes story as a woman who was trained by her father to become a cop only to not be allowed in because she is a woman. So she turns to being a superhero and Larry Lance leaving the force due to his disillusion after seeing them reject a very qualified candidate simply because the woman roles were filled. So together they arrange flowers and fight crime 🌸

Then Dinah Laurel Lance who has a rocky relationship with her mother, who puts crime fighting above her daughter. Or in some versions hides her entire life from her daughter, retiring. Although that story isn’t for me as it has Larry not being as close with Dinah, due to her mother being just as active. But either way she ends up going against her mother’s wishes and secretly trains to be a hero. Taking on her mother’s name in either spite (first backstory) or in honor (second version).

Either way it’s a mother-daughter relationship I find missing from a lot of media. A mother who is the opposite of a stage mom. One who doesn’t allow her daughter the freedom to choose for herself. No matter how good of a reason Dinah Drake had. She didn’t want her daughter to be in the way of danger, but Dinah Lance wanting to have that decision to make herself.

Genuine question does Connor have meta abilities. I’ve seen people bringing this up, but I can’t find any actual proof aside from some encyclopedia entry from 2008. And I know never take a DC Encyclopedia as a source because they are usually outdated and have incorrect information. It’s just the nature of how they are made.

In the 80/90s series he is as far as I found just mentioned to be well trained and even lacking in the archery department compared to Oliver.

In the Green Arrow/ Black Canary series it says he is non Meta when he is in the hospital.

Connor Hawke: Dragon’s Blood he does gain some strength/resilience from that whole ordeal.

And Rebirth, I know people claim Damien called him Meta. But I swear I’ve read those issues multiple times and maybe I’m personally missing it.
