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.
Green Arrow, specifically the original Oliver Queen iteration, has enjoyed a recent resurge in popularity. First, Kevin Smith got him brought back from the dead in order to write the character. Then he was featured prominently on the now-defunct animated Justice League Unlimited. Then Smallville got hold of the character to launch a live-action JLA in the Millar and Gough "Superman" retelling, and now people who had never even heard of Oliver Queen can debate whether or not he and Black Canary are soulmates. Putting him in prison with B and C list supervillains will be icing on the green, fletched cake.
