I still think had Black Canary been revealed to be Tim’s blood aunt early on, Arrow would owe more to Disney than it does to Smallville in some manner. I mean with Tim Drake being in Felicity Smoak’s role, should Felicity Smoak proper appear she could be a cameo character as intended. But rather than being a hacker, she’d actually be a hyena.
Both Felicity and the Hyena started out as Firestorm characters, the titular character of that series being a nuclear superhero. Since Disney’s no stranger to using hyena characters since Lion King, this would fit in better in the context of Black Canary being Grandma Duck and Tim being Donald. Logically Oliver is Scoorge.
Another major change’s that Tim Drake would resemble Donald Duck more right down to personality. Maybe rather than a whiny Felicity Smoak, we’d get a whiny Tim Drake. Especially if he gets bossed around by Uncle Oliver. Again not necessarily any better but tonally speaking Arrow would end up as Ducktales for adults.
