This series parallels another CW superhero origin story, Smallville (2001) in a number of ways. In Smallville Clark Kent allies himself with a superhero team formed by Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. Members of this team (a fledgling Justice League) include Black Canary and Bart Allen (in comic lore, a relative of Barry Allen who also carried the Flash mantle), who doesn't yet use the name Flash. In Arrow, Team Arrow includes in varying degrees the Flash, and two versions of Black Canary. The teams in both series have a female computer wiz who acts as a 'control tower' providing tech back up- Felicity Smoak/Overwatch in Arrow and Chloe Sullivan/Watchtower in Smallville. Their codenames are also so similar that it is a possible homage to Smallville. In both series Oliver Queen and the tech wiz have a relationship though in Arrow the relationship fails, Smallville's Oliver marries Chloe and has a son. Watchtower is not only Chloe's codename in Smallville but is also the codename for her base of operations which also serves as the teams lair. This lair is the clock tower of a high building providing a perfect view across Metropolis, this building and clock tower are similar to the Canary's hideout in Arrow season 2 which she picked for similar reasons. In both series the clock face becomes smashed during the course of events.
