Most prominently the approach to crime. Comics Bats views criminals as irredeemable and needs to be locked up, while comics GA wants to see the good in everyone and is willing to coax it out.

CW Oliver represents the former in his approach, playing the violent vigilante who is brutal to thugs and willing to play dark to fight the darkness.

Oliver has always had family in his life in Thea and William. Another difference is the impact on their cities. Green Arrow has been viewed as a hero or vigilante, however he has not made it to the scary legend status that Batman has. As shown when we saw the future of Star City and JJ brought no impact by wearing the Green Arrow suit. With Batman though, Terry had made an impact when wearing the mask. Finally Batman has a strict no kill rule, however Oliver loves doing it.
