Why My Favorite Show Is Better than Your Favorite Show
This is
Arrow star, Stephen Amell, training LIKE A ****ING BOSS! Let's see Christian Bale do any of this **** without putting himself in traction.
The second video has a lot of the same footage as the first---and some truly ****ty music---but there's other stuff just as badass as the first.
And yes, he does use a stunt double on the show, but he still does a lot of his own stunt work.

Now let's see what all that training was good for (
Spoiler Warning! obviously)...
Season 1
Arrow vs. Deathstroke from Season 2
(The blonde fighting is Black Canary)
(Interspersed with flashback)
Take that, Breaking Bad!
Oh, and just as a bonus, since this isn't so much about the actual Arrow, here's a scene involving Captain Boomerang being a total badass from the
Arrow half of this week's
Flash/
Arrow, two-night crossover. If you're a fan of the shared universe aspect of superhero comics, this is pretty much sex.
Also, just cause I think it's funny, here's Stephen Amell's Facebook profile pic.
P.S. Sorry to anyone whose computer was slowified by all the videos, but I didn't want to mess up the look of this entry by putting everything in spoilers.
