After the pilot was not picked up, it was released for download on iTunes and was the #1 downloaded program. It was the first unsold pilot to be available on iTunes.
The creation of this pilot stemmed from the episode Aqua (2005). Alan Ritchson played Arthur Curry in the episode but he was not considered for the pilot because the creators did not want it to be a spin-off from Smallville (2001).
Justin Hartley also played Green Arrow in Smallville at around the same time this episode was released.
Adrianne Palicki made other one time DC Comics television appearances. She was in one episode of Smallville and was Wonder Woman in the failed NBC pilot of that name. Eventually Palicki had a much longer amount of success in comic book based television when she joined the cast of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as a regular in the second season.
