11 on The Arrowverse Mostly Sucked, and that's OkayThe Arrowverse is officially over. It technically ended with The Flash last year, but Tyler Hoechlin and Bitsie Tulloch as Superman & Lois were a leftover from all of that, even if the network said that their characters weren't connected to the Arrowverse. So now, with the end of Superman & Lois, it's over. It mostly sucked, but…
This last week saw the cancelation of Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow, after 3 and 7 seasons, respectively. It raises a tough question: Is the Arrowverse dead? And then there were two... Let's look at the facts. The shows that are explicitly part of the Arrowverse include Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black…
There was a time when the Arrowverse was, for me, the most exciting thing on TV. It was weird and ambitious. It was silly and comic-booky. Fresh off of Deathstroke on Arrow, the Flash started boldly with Reverse-Flash. Crossovers grew in size and scope with Invasion! and then Crisis on Earth-X. Then, Crisis on Infinite…
The CW has begun making decisions about which of its pilots will be picked up to series, and Green Arrow and The Canaries has not made the cut. Airing originally as a backdoor pilot during the final season of Arrow, The CW has been keeping the project in a holding pattern for over a year…
Will we ever see the proposed Green Arrow and the Canaries spinoff from Arrow? Potential series star Katherine McNamara certainly hopes so. Run as a backdoor pilot in season 8 of Arrow, Green Arrow and the Canaries was set to follow Mia Smoak (McNamara), Laurel Lance/Black Canary (Katie Cassidy), and Dinah Drake/Black Canary (Juliana Harkavy)…
Neither Oliver Queen nor Greg Berlanti could've imagined the world they were creating when Arrow began. The dark, gritty, and violent show spawned a universe of optimistic, powerful, heroes. Arrow began as a follow-up of sorts. Smallville had ended and another grounded comic book show probably made a lot of sense at the time. Then, Berlanti,…
Arrow's final season has been really, really good. It has been focused and has used seven seasons of characters and back story to give us the kind of closure and sense of history that shows almost never get. As someone who has stuck around with the show since the early days--I discovered it on Netflix…
The Crisis on Infinite Earths left an impact on all of the Arrowverse shows, and that will be on display in the series finale of Arrow. Arrow episode 810, "Fadeout," will see Oliver's friends and family gather to say goodbye to Oliver Queen one last time. STEPHEN AMELL SIGNS OFF AS THE GREEN ARROW; EMILY…
We had to wait an entire month for it, but the Crisis on Infinite Earths has ended, and the two-hour finale, which encompassed Arrow and the Legends of Tomorrow, didn't disappoint as it did exactly what a DC Crisis does before giving the heroes time to wrap up the story. In case you hadn't guessed,…
Arrow is picking up from the fallout of Crisis on Infinite Earths and it is time to get a taste of the potential spinoff, Green Arrow & The Canaries. Arrow episode 809, "Green Arrow & The Canaries," will see the potential team in 2040 as Mia is drawn back into being a hero. STAR CITY…
As the Crisis on Infinite Earths approaches its end, it seems that Oliver has returned to reveal to everyone what he has become. Arrow episode 808, "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Four," will see the origins of the Monitor and Anti-Monitor revealed. OLIVER HAS BECOME SOMETHING ELSE IN PART FOUR OF "CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS." EPISODE…
As I dig around through forums and social media to see what people are saying about Crisis on Infinite Earths, I see all these posts about how it sucks, it's terrible, it's trash. But the truth is that Crisis is its own small miracle of writing, scheduling, licensing, acting, and special effects. This isn't a…
The Arrowverse now totals 30 seasons of television, if you include the on-going shows and the Legends of Tomorrow season starting in early 2020. It can be tough to know where to start if you haven't been paying attention. It might be too late to catch up before Crisis on Infinite Earths begins, but the shows…
As Arrow comes to a close, it must end where it begins. The team wakes up not in Star City, not in Russia, but back on the island of Lian Yu, newly lush and green after an energy spike caused rapid growth (and because they didn't have the effects budget to make it look like they…
Arrow has been through more ups and downs than any other show in the Arrowverse, with some of the best and worst episodes in the entire library belonging to good old Ollie. This last season, though, has been consistently excellent, cashing in on years of character equity in all the right ways. This episode is…
As the Crisis on Infinite Earths approaches, it seems that Oliver still has a few loose ends to take care of. Arrow episode 807, "Purgatory," will see Team Arrow return to Lian Yu which never goes well for anyone. BYRON MANN GUEST STARS -- Oliver's (Stephen Amell) mission takes him to Lian Yu where he tries…
What's a father to do when his daughter from 21 years into the future suddenly appears in the present? Get into fights with the Russian mob, of course. This sounds more like a Flash plotline. Actually it kinda is. But with Arrow, it somehow feels more organic. The adult children cast has some natural chemistry with the…
As the Crisis on Infinite Earths approaches, it seems that old friends will be making some appearances. Arrow episode 806, "Reset," will see Team Arrow dealing with betrayal as Laurel tries to make amends with her past. YOU CAN'T FIGHT YOUR FATE -- After being double-crossed by Lyla (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson), Oliver (Stephen Amell)…
The heroes of Arrow are preparing for the coming of Crisis on Infinite Earths, and that requires some traveling. Arrow episode 805, "Prochnost," will see Team Arrow gathering more allies and resources for the upcoming fight. DON'T LET YOUR PAST DEFINE YOU -- Upon learning the key to oppose The Monitor (guest star LaMonica Garrett),…
There's no question that the Arrowverse is deeply flawed; sometimes characters don't work, and sometimes entire seasons stumble. But after 20-plus seasons of CW heroes, the Arrowverse has done the work to create an intricate universe of heroes that it can cross over and play with. And that means that when Oliver Queen meets the…
