Following his departure from Passions, Justin was signed to star as the main character Arthur Curry in a TV series based on the DC Comics character Aquaman. The pilot was produced and created by Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, but sadly did not get picked up by the CW. It was released on iTunes on July 25, 2006 where it sat at #1 on the iTunes TV charts for one week.^[1]

Even though the Aquaman series ended up sinking, the producers were impressed enough with Hartley that they cast him for a multi-episode role in Smallville's Season Six as Oliver Queen (Green Arrow).

While Hartley only appeared once in Season Seven (in episode 11 Siren), he also co-starred alongside Cassidy Freeman in another CW pilot called Austin Golden Hour, which was completed by the end of Season 7 but not picked up by the network.^[2] After that series fell through, the CW made both Justin and Cassidy series regulars on Smallville Seasons Eight, Nine, and Ten as Oliver Queen and Tess Mercer respectively.
