Synopsis for "Team Up: Green Arrow"
At a senate committee hearing, representatives ask Steve Trevor to plant a member on the Justice League. Trevor responds, stating that the League is a very tight-knit group, and that he doesn't know anybody as professional and well-respected who could join.
In Metropolis, Green Arrow assists the Justice League in dealing with Professor Ivo's Amazo robot, much to their chagrin. Arrow is desperate to join the League, but Batman believes that an addition to the team is the last thing they want.
Green Arrow continues to follow the League and aid them on their missions, fighting adversaries such as the Court of Owls and Cultists, but they continue to deny his requests. Once Arrow arrives in his lair, he encounters none other than Steve Trevor. Trevor believes that Queen has no place on the League, and offers him a spot on another team that could use his skills.
Back on the Watchtower, the League agrees that rejecting Green Arrow was a good thing, as the last time they allowed someone into the team, it ended very badly. While Martian Manhunter may be long gone, he still knows more about them than they know about each other.
Back on Earth, Martian Manhunter listens to the League's conversation, stating that "they are not prepared".
