I've always been partial to this movie, so my answers won't surprise...

Smaug looks good to me. He's very feline which fits some of the description of him in the book, even if it pushes away from Tolkien's own, more-reptilian drawing. I don't think that design would quite work in live action, but I like it in this context. He's a fat old cat indeed, but he's malicious too (as cats can be) and his looks match his rumbling, old voice.
Bard I am less fond of, but he works. The outfit is in line with the dress from the rest of the movie and is a reasonable rendering. The mustache is a little overdone and shows the era in which the movie was made.
As for the Black Arrow, I like that RB included it (otherwise the killing of Smaug would be pretty damn random!). And I hope PJ not only includes it, but expands it a bit with some earlier set-up like Bard telling a tale about a time he made some improbable shot and retrieved it against all odds - maybe even a flashback to its forging. IMO it warrants a meatier role. The magic (or semi-magic) weapon that kills Smaug should get a little bit more spotlight.

Since that's all part of The Silmarillion, it wont apply to the new films.
