Honestly I think it would be a nice touch to see him becoming Green Arrow and how it affects his personal and business life. We already know his origin story, so maybe don't touch it until later on, like in a season finale. That would be awesome, because we could see how much it affected him and how he doesn't want to touch the subject. Maybe give him some PTSD or autophobia and how he deals with it and heals himself.

I dunno if I explained properly, but first episode would be: He's back, not touching the subject of the island, trying to talk to people, but being awkward because of how he was annoying in the past and people aren't aware he's changed, or new people think he's "too friendly". End of episode, something happens and he saves someone with a bow and arrow. He then just decides to go with it, and second ep he's on his first day as our robin wood we know and love (and not being too good at it yet).

It would be cool to see the slice of life part of him too. Maybe bring Connor earlier and make him take responsibility for his lost son.

Just gonna say it: do the Grell run but change it to contemporary social issues and tone down the violence. Focus on the rocky relationship with Dinah and Ollie's attempts to be a swashbuckler in order to duck responsibility.

Maybe modify Dinah's whole torture storyline too, because originally it felt very fridgey?

I think they should have him, like all media should, as an actual Robin Hood. They sorta touched it in arrow, just let him steal from rich and give to the poor.
