    Is "universe" the right word for this? I mean they're not connected, are they?

    Maybe "The DCW Loosely Affiliated Range of TV Shows"...

      The CW has long been quietly doing successfully what studio after studio has failed to do following the MCU's success, emulating it. Quietly they have built a concurrent TV universe across five shows and a huge array of characters, even featuring cross overs and team events in a manner that even Marvel has struggled to make work with its own TV content.

      At this point, and after losing updates from last year, it's easier for these shows to fall under one roof as the DCWU (commonly and somewhat inaccurately these days referred to as the Arrowverse, is showing no sign of ending soon and continues to expand. It's also only a short three years younger than the MCU.

      Both the character of Batwoman and Gotham City are set to officially become a part of the Arrow-verse this December. The CW has announced it will host another superhero crossover event this Fall with “Supergirl,” “Arrow,” “The Flash” and “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” once again crossing over with one big story. “Arrow” star Stephen Amell […]


      This years Arrow Season 7 will be notable because it's not just the first time one of the shows reaches the traditional finale season point that will indicate whether CW plans to place a cap on incarnations or to continually extend as they do with Supernatural, but it will be the first time that (outside a brief line of dialogue) the universe brings in the core Batman mythology.

      This coming season Ollie will travel to Gotham City and Batwoman will feature. This appears to be for this years four episode event storyline where the four active shows merge for a single threat.

        This is a rare occasion where they're all properly connected with characters regularly popping up on other shows, they've reached a point where even key events from one show can occur in another. It's only let down by the fluctuating quality levels across the shows

          With five DC Comics adaptations already airing on The CW network, super producer Greg Berlanti is adding a sixth – “Batwoman”. Caroline Dries (“Smallville,” “The Vampire Diaries”) is reportedly writing a potential pilot for a “Batwoman” series, with the character to be introduced in this Fall’s annual crossover event between four of the five main […]


          CW is set to launch another part of the growing 'Arrowverse', this time it being Batwoman. The character will be introduced in this Decembers four episode long four show cross over event. It's said it could be on air for early 2019 though I'd guess late 2019 is more likely.

            The CW president Mark Pedowitz has made it clear – the character of Batman will NOT be appearing on the upcoming in-development “Batwoman” TV pilot. Batman already exists in the Arrowverse because last season Oliver Queen mentioned his name at one point, and the upcoming “Batwoman” pilot – should it go forward to series – […]


            The upcoming Batwoman series will unsurprisingly not feature Batman at all which is the norm given how restrictive Warners is about TV appearances of the character in live action form

              Ruby Rose has been cast as Batwoman. The only good news here is that presumably she'll be in less movies now.

                Earlier today a costume test photo of the newest costume that Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen will sport in the upcoming fifth season of The CW’s “The Flash” leaked online. We can’t post it here but it’s only a quick search away on Twitter. It’s a quite different look, one more akin to the comics with […]

                  This December’s Arrowverse crossover gets more super by the minute. The three-night, Legends-less crossover event — kicking off Sunday, Dec. 9, with a special airing of The Flash — will not only introduce viewers to Kate Kane aka Gotham vigilante Batwoman (played by Orange Is the New Black‘s Ruby Rose), but also return Superman (played […]


                  The upcoming crossover episodes will see Superman return as well as the introduction of Lois Lane

                      Cassandra Jean Amell, wife and producing partner of “Arrow” star Stephen Amell, has been tapped to play Nora Fries in The CW’s annual Arrow-verse DC/WBTV crossover. Nora Fries is the wife of Batman villain Mr. Freeze and first appeared as a character in the 1990s “Batman: The Animated Series”. While we know the crossover event […]

                        First image of the costume for Batwoman has been released and by the TV standards this is a great first pass:

                          As quickly as it started, recent rumors that The CW is set to add a full “Superman” series to its DC Comics-inspired ‘Arrowverse’ stable of shows have been shot down. FandomWire published a report which suggested the upcoming ‘Elseworlds’ crossover event in December – which sees one storyline cross over three series including “Arrow,” “Supergirl” […]


                          CW have shot down rumours that they are planning a Superman based spin-off.

                            Jesse L. Martin, who plays Detective Joe West on The CW’s “The Flash,” is taking a medical leave of absence from the superhero drama. TV Line reports that Martin suffered a back injury during the hiatus, which is why he has been sitting down in almost all of his scenes this season which have mostly […]

                              The CW has announced that the iconic comic book storyline “Crisis On Infinite Earths” will serve as the story for their next DC series crossover in Fall 2019. Said storyline has been specifically teased throughout much of “The Flash” throughout its run so far and the announcement was made following “Elseworlds, Part 3,” the third […]


                              That first summarising post above could soon be seeing a major expansion. At the end of this years multi-show crossover event run, CW took the very early opportunity to announce that next years event special would be an adaptation of Crisis on Infinite Earths

                              This is already being seen as an opportunity to connect the existing DCW Universe to other DC superhero shows past and present in a scaled event that has never happened before. On twitter John Glover has already been teasing a return in the event as Lionel Luthor, the role he played in Smallville. They already have Routh on cast so could easily pull the Reeves era Superman in also.
