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

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.

That's cool to see! I mean, comic Luke is pretty different from show Luke, but still cool .

Also neat to see Dreamer in the comics, where she might end up meeting future Dream Girl .

"Suit Up" hits differently with Ollie gone .

Look at all these heroes whose shows are ending and probably won't interact with each other because of COVID restrictions (that and Stargirl is on another Earth) .

Set to begin November 16 at 8 p.m. ET, “Armageddon” will feature numerous guest appearances from some of the CW’s most notable heroes and villains.

Tom Cavanagh and Neal McDonough will return as enemies Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash and Damien Darhk, respectively.

In “Armageddon,” a powerful alien threat arrives on Earth under mysterious circumstances and Barry (Grant Gustin), Iris (Candice Patton) and the rest of Team Flash are pushed to their limits in a desperate battle to save the world. But with time running out, and the fate of humanity at stake, Flash and his companions will also need to enlist the help of some old friends if the forces of good are to prevail.

Will the crossover include episodes of the other DC shows? We didn't have something like that last season for obvious reasons.

For now, it's just the first 5 episodes of The Flash season 8. It's possible others will but that is to be determined, an episode in each will have a minor set up for the crossover as Batwoman and Legends will have already aired a few episodes of their new seasons by November 16, or if there will be fallout in episodes afterwards.

We sorta had it last season with Diggle showing up in one episode per each show as in Batwoman, The Flash and most recently, Superman and Lois and he is set to appear in an upcoming episode of Supergirl and his actor played Bass Reeves in a recent episode of Legends of Tomorrow.

Glad to see Naomi is getting a solid lead in with S&L.

I figured this might be worth posting here too; in light of the news the CW might be sold to another company - reportedly the network was never too profitable despite their "Arrowverse" shows.

(The CW's potential sale can be discussed more here)

 

[Frontier]

Is this the end of the Arrowverse ?

Is this the end of the Arrowverse ?

Probably not, if it's still profitable.

David Ramsey's John Diggle is set to star in "Justice U," a new series in production for the CW.

In the new series, which is set in the Arrowverse, after years of fighting alongside masked heroes, Diggle embarks on a new mission to recruit five young meta humans to live undercover as freshmen at a prestigious university. There he will oversee their education and train them to become the heroes of tomorrow.

In addition to starring in the series, if it is picked up to pilot, Ramsey, who has directed a number of Arrowverse episodes, will helm the pilot.

Mod Note: Thread started here.
