"DC TV Universe" News & Discussion Part 1 (Spoilers)

[Frontier]

Tentative production start dates for more shows-

Whatever time is safest for the actors .

Tentative production start dates for more shows-

A wise decision, IMO.

 

[PF9]

I think that because the pandemic pushed its season start to spring, Legends of Tomorrow's new season will only have 10-13 episodes.

Anyone have any idea how many episodes will be in each season of the other DC shows on the CW?

EDIT:

Another idea I had for an Arrowverse show was one featuring Batman and Robin, set as a prequel to Batwoman.

Guggenheim confirmed he's no longer working on anything related to the CW shows.

Deadline reports David Ramsey will return as John Diggle, as well as play a new character on Legends of Tomorrow and direct episodes from other "Arrowverse" shows.

David Ramsey (aka John Diggle) will be busy both behind and in front of the camera for the CW. Ramsey, who most recently starred in Arrow as John Diggle/Spartan will return to direct five episodes in the DC Universe, including the new series Superman & Lois, and Supergirl. Additionally, Ramsey will guest star in five episodes across the Arrowverse, returning as fan favorite John Diggle in Superman & Lois, Supergirl, The Flash and Batwoman, along with a mystery role in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which is being kept under wraps.

I was worried we wouldn't be seeing Diggle again anytime soon, so this is nice to hear .

I wonder if the "mystery role" in Legends is him as Green Lantern? They kind of have to address it in at least one of his appearances, I would assume, and this season of Legends is centered around space/aliens to some extent...

I figured he would be at least showing up on Superman & Lois because of the family moving. But this is excellent news. I mean, it's gotta be GL. Maybe another possibility is the Legends have to go forward in time and meet a future Diggle? Wait, when was the last time they even went to the future?

To get Zari in season 3?

Season 3? Wow. Bout time to go... back to the future? Eh? Eh?

A couple of comments from Mark Pedowitz, also covering the DC TV shows on the CW-

EDIT:
Looks like there won't be any Batwoman / Supergirl / Superman & Lois cross-overs.

He could be playing Parallax, instead of GL.

Well, that would definitely be a twist .

 

[RoyalRubble]

The Superman & Lois premiere will be 90 minutes long (still on February 23, but at 8 PM ET/PT), followed by a half-hour special, Superman & Lois: Legacy of Hope.

The special, Superman & Lois: Legacy of Hope, will feature sneak peeks and interviews with cast of the new series, as well as special guests discussing the legacy of the Man of Steel.

Season 7 of The Flash will now premiere on March 2, at 9 PM ET/PT.

 

[AdrenalineRush1996]

He could be playing Parallax, instead of GL.

Oh, I hope not. I would be fine with future Diggle not ending up being a host of Parallax.

Though we are seeing the ends of Black Lightning and Supergirl this year, this certainly will not be the end for other DCTV properties because those series have all been renewed.

THE FLASH, LEGENDS OF TOMORROW, BATWOMAN & Nine More Score Early Renewals; New Trailer Released

It doesn't sound like the Scarlet Speedster will be stopping his run anytime soon as The CW has issued an early renewal for The Flash along with Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow, and nine more series!

Yeah we are getting at least another season of Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash which IMHO means that Black Lightning and Supergirl's endings were more planned out to finish around this time. Probably not as much as Arrow's but I doubt those other shows were just cancelled. Especially as that would imply a ratings thing and yeah Legends of Tomorrow though a strong cult hit was never the ratings darling of the network and Batwoman isn't doing well in the ratings so yeah going with a "those shows wanted to wrap up while these want to continue."

While Stargirl and Superman and Lois haven't been renewed yet, though that's because they haven't been began airing their respective seasons yet, especially the latter, which got a two-episode extension for its first season.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Minor but I thought this was kind of cool - Nicole Maines will write a Nia Nal story for an upcoming DC Pride anthology comic. Camrus Johnson will also write a Luke Fox story for Batman: Legends Urban, but that seems to be separate from the "Arrowverse" version of the character.
