First glimpse of the CW's Green Arrow

The CW has been working on their new super hero show Arrow for some time now and they have officially given fans a first glimpse of actor Stephen Amell (Private Practice) in his costume as the Green Arrow. The CW has made it clear that this incarnation of Green Arrow will be much darker than the one fans saw in the series Smallville and that they should understand that this is a whole new character.

"Described as a modern retelling of the DC Comics’ Green Arrow property, the potential series revolves around former billionaire playboy Oliver Queen who, after being marooned for five years on a remote island, returns with a mysterious agenda and a lethal set of new skills that he uses in a war on crime."

You cannot see too much of his outfit from the picture (which was probably intentional) but it certainly has a dark, edgy feel to it. I cannot explain why but I really like that we clearly see the quiver on his back. I also really like that he is using a recurve bow as opposed to a compound bow like in Smallville. How do you guys feel about this new look for the Green Arrow?
