An unusual duo, but Roy and Kyle would be a fun team up!

THE HAT IS MORE PRACTICAL THAN THE HOOD! THE HOOD IS STUPID!
Archers will wear a hat to keep the sun out of their eyes. And medieval longbowmen were even known to store a second string tucked under their hat or helmet.
The medieval bycocket hat (associated with Robin Hood and by extension Green Arrow) had the advantage of the brim only going forward, not out to the side, so it would not impede a bowstring. They were associated with hunters and outdoorsmen.
If you watch an Olympic archery tournament to this very day, notice how many of them are wearing hats.
A hood blocks basically all of your peripheral vision. No fighters in all of history have worn a hood into any kind of battle. Hoods are a huge liability in a fight.
I cannot imagine a more stupid thing to wear in a fight than a hood.
The only purpose a hood serves is protection from the weather and concealing your identity in a crowd (at least in a crowd where wearing a hood is normal and doesn't actually stick out).
And yet, the "grounded" depictions of Green Arrow favor the impractical hood. While "whimsical" depictions favor the much more practical hat.
Make it make sense!

Where does Green Arrow's reputation as promiscious and/or sleezy come from?
Reading Green Arrow V2 and Green Arrow V3, I don't see it at all. Yet many comics treat Ollie as, to put it bluntly, a slutty slut who hits on women all the time and can't keep his hands to himself.
ಠ_ಠ
Am I being gaslighted by crossover comics and adaptations? *Where* is this behavior shown? Gimme specific issues!
The closest he gets to "flirting" with women is just chivalrous Robin Hood roleplay.
He was a womanizer before the island, which is over 20 years ago in-series. Was he promiscious early on as Green Arrow? Reading GA V2, he spent 5+ years being fateful to Dinah without issue.
Ollie cheated on Dinah once, maybe twice. I admit that. But, other superheroes have also cheated on their partners and never had this rep!
Grace Choi, Helena Bertinelli, and Roy Harper sleep around but no one is making jokes about them being leeches constantly.

I don't care for Emiko. Gimme some of her best runs and/or issues
The topic title tells itself.
I *want* to like her, but DC just doesn't use her well. She's far too "superhero" for my liking, which is an issue I have with Damian as well. No school, no social life, no non-cape friends, etc. She's not like Roy or Mia where they were allowed to be kids as well as superheroes.
I don't even know where the heck Emiko is in current canon. Maybe that was explained in a Teen Titans run.

Idea for a Roy Harper and Garth story
* Back when they were Speedy and Aqualad, Roy and Garth were separated from their friends- The Teen Titans- while on a mission. In an underground chamber, they come across an ancient giant that aspires to return to the surface and wreck havoc. The two boys succeed in stopping the giant, but little do they know that the giant implanted a piece of itself in both of them that germinates to the present day.
* Now Arsenal and Tempest, they feel the presence of the giant in them, feeding off their anxieties and emotional baggage (Arsenal's feelings of worthlessness, Tempest's grief for his lost son Ceridian and failed relationship with Dolphin) and transforming them into the giant's vessels for destruction. The two of them must return to the underground chamber to expel the giant's influence to save the world and themselves.
* Tentative title is "The Enemyway" which is in reference to the Navajo ceremony that invokes the story of the Hero Twins, Monster-Slayer and Born-Of-Water, the story that Roy tells Garth while lost underground.

What do you think of this run
Has it's flaws Book 1 mostly Book 2 in my opinion is a major improvement but it still feels like a sequel to a book I never read. Like about Roy Harper drug addiction and death and why I should care about him or how Emi joined Arrow(I don't mean the clock king backstory).
It feels like I'm missing years

It should be called the Arrowpoint NOT the Arrowcave.
I think thats a much more fitting name. The Batcave is called The Batcave because bats live in caves. Do arrows live in caves? Not that I know of.
Arrows do however, have points. Imagine Oliver's base of operations high up overlooking Star City. The Arrowpoint.
