What happens

DC Showcase: Green Arrow is a 2010 short animated film, directed by Joaquim Dos Santos and written by Greg Weisman, featuring Neal McDonough as Green Arrow, who must protect a young princess, Perdita, from Count Vertigo. The film was released on September 28, 2010 as a bonus feature on the Superman/Batman: Apocalypse DVD. It is the third of the DC Showcase series and was included on the compilation DVD DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection in an extended version. Greg Weisman considers DC Showcase: Green Arrow to be adjacent to the animated series Young Justice, meaning a version of its events happened within the series's continuity. The character of Perdita, who originated in DC Showcase: Green Arrow, appeared as a recurring character in Young Justice. In 2022, the comic series Young Justice: Targets showed the canon version of these events, which has differences to the short. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
