They really could've found a better way to replace Lex than with an embittered marine biologist turned corporate mastermind. (The hell?!?!!) The suit from the season premiere was right to be skeptical about her qualifications. In fact, I don't think he was nearly skeptical enough, given this new information. I really hope Doomsday shows his true colors soon, or Brainiac gets more control over Chloe, or something, because I'm really starting to miss our bad guys of old. And, yeah, I thought fighting for truth, justice, etc. was plenty of motivation for the Green Arrow. Don't get me wrong, I like a good whumping as much as the next fangirl, but not when it's as gratuitous and nonsensical as what happened to Ollie. They couldn't be happy with him averting global crises with the nascent Justice League as an excuse for Justin Hartley's absence the last year or so? Ugh.
