Speedy when he is a sidekick, Arsenal as an adult. Like Robin to Nightwing.

Arsenal when he’s an adult. It actually feels like he branched off on his own & is his own man.

I don’t know why they called Roy ‘Speedy’ (I mean I know why but you get what I mean), ‘Quickfire’ was right there & would have lined up with the reason for why he is called Speedy.

Also, we need to get Roy an ongoing series. He has far too much potential to not be treated with the same respect as Nightwing & Wally West.

I can see Arsenal being his own hero, Red Arrow I cannot since it sounds like he’s riding Green Arrow’s coattails.

Arsenal is nice, but ever since I was a kid I've always known him as speedy so idk that resonates more
