Bruce Wayne and Ollie are inherently different people. Ollie is a socialist hippie who fights against "the man." He champions social issues. Bruce Wayne is definitely more conservative in his views about society.
Batman is a much darker character than Green Arrow from what I've seen. I haven't read any green arrow comics but from the shows and Justice League, he does not have near the baggage that Batman does.
I don't think the Batman movies have really done a good job of portraying this but some of the comics do: Is Batman himself insane? Is he the catalyst for what's happening in Gotham. I get none of that from Green Arrow.
Those are my thoughts. But I do agree CW is trying to play up the comparisons.

yeah but CW Ollie is nothing like DC Comics Ollie

They both have a sense of moral entitlement which is at the core of the character.

I don't know if I could've taken the show if they tried to pump out some of the liberal propaganda that some of the Green Arrow comics pumped out.

But a Roy Harper with a needle hanging out of his arm might've added some much needed depth to his on screen character. Although an HIV positive prostitute version of Thea/Mia might've been a little much for tv.
