Batman – As the Crow Flies | Comics
Batman is in a situation where he is facing a gangster named Thomas Alliaotto, better known as "Big Tommy A". A decade long experienced crime lord has just gone berserk and is carelessly shooting nonstop. Tommy has quite a murderous nature but he was never been a mindless creature. But right now he is hallucinating hideous monsters and demons all around him, which frightens the hell out of him. Batman tries to tranq him down but he is not giving up or slowing down for anything. Batarangs are thrown at him, his shoulder is dislocated, wrist is broken, but Tommy won't stop at nothing. Then all of a sudden he ran like crazy and jumped from the building, a maneuver that Batman failed to stop.

Next up, it's an ex-con and commercial club owner Ruben DeSoto went on rampage after three henchmen of Penguin pays him a visit. Batman quickly reaches the spot but had a very hard time subduing Ruben. Finally Ruben's heart gave up and he fell. Meanwhile, Penguin is berating his thugs for their irresponsible behavior that caused the recent incidents. When they were trying to explain what happened to Penguin, a person appears and it is revealed that the Scarecrow has joined Penguin and is now working for him with a vile plot. With no clue about the real culprit responsible for the incidents, Batman also starts suffering from a very old nightmare of his own.

Green Arrow | Comics

Growing up idolizing Robin Hood, Oliver Queen naturally had every quality to become an accomplished archer and so he kept practicing with bow and arrows. His life changed tragically when his parents were mauled by a lion and he paused without shooting it. But he grew up to be an irresponsible and drunken playboy inheriting the Queen Enterprises until his friend Hackett’s betrayal drifted him to Starfish Island only to confront a crime lord.

Green Arrow | Comics

Determined to become a crime-fighter, he returned to Star City and took the name Green Arrow as well as a sidekick named Roy Harper AKA Speedy. With their non-lethal Trick Arrows, he and Speedy would go on patrol in costume. Ollie becomes a member of the JLA and eventually met JSA member Dinah Lance AKA Black Canary.

In his career, Oliver Queen has worked alongside Batman, Catwoman and mostly with Green Lantern Hal Jordan whom he also stopped when Parallax got him in Zero Hour. He grew flustered and Connor Hawke took his mantle. He dies in an accident while investigating the Eden Corps even after the best efforts of Superman. He was resurrected during Final Night by his friend Hal Jordan.

When the entire League faced Doctor Light for his actions against Elongated Man's wife Sue Dibny, Green Arrow picked a fight with Deathstroke that lasted quite long (Identity Crisis). One Year Later, Ollie becomes the Mayor of Star City and Deathstroke took a hit on him. Teaming up with Batman, he even fought Brick and Red Hood. Upon ending the clash, he finally marries Black Canary.
