Aside from being similarly-situated--billionaire crime fighter with a teenage ward who fights crime with him--Ollie Queen (or his writers) seemed to go out of their way to try and imitate Batman. Green Arrow had the Arrowcar and Arrowboat and Arrowplane (OK, at least that one was a fair pun) and Arrowcave and gosh knows what else.
Did you ever wonder what Batman himself thought of all that?
It's back in the day, about two years after the Justice League has formed. Batman's not a member yet, but he and J'onn J'onzz are investigating strange doings at stately Queen Manor...including the super-hero headquarters below it.
Anyway, don't be shy, Batman--tell us what you think!!
Oh, Bruce...we all feel that way!!
From Legends Of The DC Universe #12 (1999)

I actually have this issue and the next. Loved the interplay and banter between Ollie and Bruce here as it really underlines their differences and similarities. That and the art's not too shabby either.
And A giant-sized poster of Spiro Agnew. Damn, never caught that before today. How does one get a hold of one of those, the Nixon Library? ;)
These nattering nabobs of superhero negativity.....
Fun fact: During the Golden Age, Ollie's car was bright yellow (for some reason) and called the Arrowplane (for some reason!)
There was a '70s comic where GA fought a villain who bore a remarkable resemblance to Agnew (who had just resigned).
