The OP posts this like it's a negative, but I find it a much more enjoyable version of the "Batman story".

while there are a lot of similarities, there are many more differences.

oliver still has a family, he doesnt want to be a loner, he has killed many times, he isnt as protective on his "arrow" secret identity, he doesnt avoid romantic situations, he heavily relies on his team rather than himself due to his lack of detective skills, i could go on.

This makes all the difference in the world. While I've enjoyed the Nolan Batman movies, I really don't think I'd watch a TV series about him, but Arrow is great.
