If I didn't know any better then I would think that "Daniel" was Bruce Wayne. But I certainly hope he isn't. This version of Arrow is pretty "Batman-esque" (dark, brooding, amazing fighter, [former] billionaire, lady's man) and I think it would be too much of a competition between the two on so many levels. It would take away from everything that makes Arrow unique in this universe. I think that's why they should go with a lesser known hero, that way they can mold the story and make him different from Oliver to a degree. My guess is one difference will be that this guy will rely more on his tech (armor or something) than his true physicality to fight crime.

I'm really curious as to how they are going to play out Oliver's lack of family fortune now. I'm guessing he'll end up working for Walter at least for a while, but that could put a strain on his activities as the Arrow. I originally thought that the match for Oliver's comment of who would hire him was clearly ARGUS but I get the feeling it would be an "I'd rather crawl over broken glass" response from him.
