Synopsis: Green Arrow and Arsenal waste no time in attacking Solomon Grundy. Immediately they begins sinking arrows into him, knowing that they will have little effect on him. Grundy swipes Arsenal down knocking him out cold.

Green Arrow dances around, slinging arrows trying to stay out of Grundy's reach. Grundy picks up the old dusty Arrowcar and throws it at Ollie who barely manages to dive out of the way. Grundy gets off a lucky punch, but fortunately, Ollie rolls with it so that it does minimum damage. On the downside however, GA's bow is snapped in half. Ollie scrambles up two arrows and drives them into Grundy's feet. He then takes the broken bow string and wraps it around his throat. He strangles Grundy to the point that he starts bleeding sap and passes out.

Arsenal revives soon after, and after everything is said and done, Ollie retrieves what he came to find: an old plaque acknowledging his membership in the Justice League Of America.
