Quick question, why is Connor Hawke preforming the ceremony? I mean that seriously. I have an OK idea of Connor, I'm not an expert on him by any means, but I was a bit surprised that he was the one marrying Dinah and Ollie. Wouldn't someone like Zauriel have been a more logical choice to carry out the ceremony?

When Connor was growing up, before Ollie even knew that he existed, he lived in some Buddist monestary in Asia, somewhere. Anyways, I believe that he either was a priest or was considered one because of his education there. Plus, in comic book years, Ollie's only even known about him for a short period of time . . a few years. In that time he's been doing everything he can to make up for missing his childhood. I think he thought he was making a gesture when he asked him to perform the ceremony. You can find out a lot about Connor in the last Green Arrow series, plus there's some crossover in the Kyle Raynor Green Lantern books. They tried to do a Green Lantern/Green Arrow thing for a while there.
ReplyDeleteI actually have a bunch of those Green Arrow/Green Lantern comics, but, like many other comics I own, I haven't gotten around to reading them yet.
ReplyDeleteThe idea that Ollie asked Connor to perform the ceremony as a good will gesture makes the most sense, given your logic, plus the fact that Hal Jordan and/or Roy Harper were the best man/men, so Ollie had to give Connor some kind of important role at the wedding. Thanks for making that a little clearer.
