The Arrowverse is an American superhero media franchise and shared universe that is centered on various interconnected television series based on DC Comics superhero characters, primarily airing on The CW as well as web series on CW Seed. The series were developed by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg, Geoff Johns, Ali Adler, Phil Klemmer, Salim Akil, and Caroline Dries. Set in a shared fictional multiverse much like the DC Universe and DC Multiverse in comic books, it was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast and characters that span six live-action television series and two animated series.

The franchise began with Arrow, based on the character Green Arrow, which debuted in October 2012. It was followed by The Flash in 2014, and the animated web series Vixen in 2015. The franchise further expanded in January 2016 with the debut of Legends of Tomorrow, starring characters who previously appeared on both Arrow and The Flash. Later that year, the CBS series Supergirl, having already crossed over with The Flash, moved to The CW for the remainder of its run. A second animated web series, Freedom Fighters: The Ray, was released in 2017, which followed Ray Terrill / The Ray, who would make a live-action appearance during that year's crossover event "Crisis on Earth-X". In addition to the live-action and web-based series, the franchise has spawned three promotional tie-in live-action web series: Blood Rush, Chronicles of Cisco and The Flash: Stretched Scenes; released in 2013, 2016 and 2017 respectively. A fifth series, Batwoman, premiered in 2019. Six ensemble crossover events involving many of the live-action series of the Arrowverse have taken place, beginning with "Flash vs. Arrow" in 2014 and concluding with "Crisis on Infinite Earths" between 2019 and 2020. Additionally, Matt Ryan has reprised his role as John Constantine from the NBC series Constantine, initially in guest appearances in episodes of Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, before becoming a series regular for the latter, in addition to continuing storylines from the former series. In 2023, the franchise concluded with the ninth and final season of The Flash.

The 2018 and 2019 crossovers, "Elseworlds" and "Crisis on Infinite Earths", saw multiple DC television series and films retroactively added to the franchise's multiverse. "Crisis on Infinite Earths" also rebooted the multiverse, with Supergirl joining the other live-action series on a new Earth-Prime along with the series Black Lightning, which had been separate up to this point. The franchise has been successful, creating a large fandom around the world, and has received positive reviews; critics have praised the themes, acting, action sequences, direction and character development.

{{anchor|CWverse}}In September 2020, The CW released a trailer for the various series that would be airing on the network in 2021, which featured the name "The CWverse" in it. Many outlets felt the change was due to Arrow having ended and the character no longer a part of the shared universe.{{Cite web |last=Gillespie |first=Daniel |date=September 1, 2020 |title=The CW Is Attempting To Rename Arrowverse Now That Arrow Is Over |url=https://screenrant.com/arrowverse-new-name-cwverse-cw-superheros-trailer/ |access-date=September 1, 2020 |website=Screen Rant |archive-date=September 3, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200903083628/https://screenrant.com/arrowverse-new-name-cwverse-cw-superheros-trailer/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |last=Mitovich |first=Matt Webb |date=September 2, 2020 |title=Arrowverse... or 'The CWverse'?

Mitovich also pointed out the term had been used a year prior in a similar trailer, which had featured the Arrowverse series plus Black Lightning, which was not part of the universe at that time. Jake Abbate of SuperHeroHype also referred to the name as encompassing the "programming block" of superhero shows on the network. Daniel Gillespie from Screen Rant felt if this was The CW's attempt to change the Arrowverse's name, that fans and the media would not "suddenly start" using the name, and if The CW kept using the term, could "lead to a situation where the universe is called one thing officially, but another entirely by the majority of people who watch it". In May 2021, when discussing the 2021–22 season of shows, Pedowitz referred to the series as the "CWverse".

He felt a crossover like "Crisis on Infinite Earths" was something "you've got to build to" and the goal of the next crossover was to "return to the roots" of the Arrowverse crossovers. In May 2020, Pedowitz revealed the crossover would be two hours, occurring on episodes of Batwoman and Superman & Lois, with an expected air date in Q1/Q2 of 2021.

===John Diggle storyline===

In December 2020, David Ramsey was revealed to be reprising his role of John Diggle on Superman & Lois, Supergirl, The Flash, and Batwoman,{{Cite web |last=Petski |first=Denise |date=December 1, 2020 |title=David Ramsey To Direct, Return As John Diggle & Mystery Character in the CW's Arrowverse |url=https://deadline.com/2020/12/david-ramsey-john-diggle-dc-legends-arrow-the-flash-1234635557/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201201173421/https://deadline.com/2020/12/david-ramsey-john-diggle-dc-legends-arrow-the-flash-1234635557/ |archive-date=December 1, 2020 |access-date=December 1, 2020 |website=Deadline Hollywood}} as well as on Legends of Tomorrow as "a historical Western character". Ramsey directed the episodes of Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl he starred in.

According to Superman & Lois showrunner Todd Helbing, Ramsey's return was originally conceived as a five-episode story across the various series that was "pretty cool". However, because of the production difficulties that arose from the COVID-19 pandemic, his appearances were adjusted since it would have been "impossible to make it make sense", though there would still be a through-line between each appearance.{{Cite magazine |last=Agard |first=Chancellor |date=May 14, 2021 |title=Superman & Lois boss teases David Ramsey's turns as director and Arrow's Diggle |url=https://ew.com/tv/superman-lois-david-ramsey-episode-7/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210516215116/https://ew.com/tv/superman-lois-david-ramsey-episode-7/ |archive-date=May 16, 2021 |access-date=May 17, 2021 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly}} The Batwoman, Flash, Superman & Lois, and Supergirl episodes explore what Diggle has been up to since the end of "Arrow" when he encountered a glowing green box. Ramsey spoke to the grounded nature of Diggle as a character, and given that, "he refused the invitation of whatever was in the box" since the last thing he would want to do is "receive an invitation from something otherworldly". However, there are consequences for Diggle with that decision.{{Cite web |last=Mitovitch |first=Matt Webb |date=May 17, 2021 |title=Will Diggle Become a Green Lantern?

Ezra Miller's cameo as Barry Allen from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) in "Crisis on Infinite Earths" opened up more possibilities for crossovers between the DC films and Arrowverse. DC Films president Walter Hamada revealed prior to "Crisis", DC had been structured in a way that the television division had to clear the use of characters with the film division.

{{main|Constantine (TV series)}}

By May 2015, Amell had had discussions with DC Entertainment about portraying Queen on NBC{{'}}s Constantine, starring Matt Ryan; saying, "The reason that I was going to guest star on Constantine...was [Constantine's] an expert when it comes to the Lazarus Pit, which is now something that is a part of and will continue to be a part of Arrow." Amell stated that, even though Constantine was not renewed for a second season, a crossover "was and is still on the table".{{Cite web |last=Moser |first=Cassidee |date=May 10, 2015 |title=Arrow's Stephen Amell on a Possible Constantine Crossover |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2015/05/10/arrows-stephen-amell-on-a-possible-constantine-crossover |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150512020406/http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/05/10/arrows-stephen-amell-on-a-possible-constantine-crossover |archive-date=May 12, 2015 |access-date=May 10, 2015 |website=IGN}} Guggenheim revealed a desire to integrate John Constantine into the Arrowverse, saying, "A lot of the pieces are in place, except for that one final piece, which is what's the fate of Constantine?

In August 2015, it was confirmed that Ryan would appear in Arrow{{'}}s fourth-season episode "Haunted" for a "one-time-only-deal". Guggenheim said, "This is something the fans were clamoring for," praising DC for being so "magnanimous and generous in giving us this one-time dispensation." Due to Arrow and Constantine sharing the same studio, the producers of Arrow were able to use Ryan's original outfits: "The trench coat, the tie, the shirt...the whole wardrobe is being taken out {{sic|for}} storage and shipped up to Vancouver [where Arrow shoots]." John Badham, a director on Constantine, directed the episode that Constantine appears in.{{Cite web |last=Holbrook |first=Damian |date=August 11, 2015 |title=Constantine's Matt Ryan Conjures Up Magical Return on Arrow |url=http://www.tvinsider.com/article/33819/constantines-matt-ryan-conjures-up-magical-return-on-arrow/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150813190942/http://www.tvinsider.com/article/33819/constantines-matt-ryan-conjures-up-magical-return-on-arrow/ |archive-date=August 13, 2015 |access-date=August 11, 2015 |website=TV Insider}} Mericle confirmed that this version of Constantine would be the same character that had appeared in Constantine.{{Cite web |last=Goldman |first=Eric |date=August 12, 2015 |title=Arrow: Constantine Will Help Bring Sara Lance Back |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2015/08/12/arrow-constantine-will-help-bring-sara-lance-back |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150813184826/http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/08/12/arrow-constantine-will-help-bring-sara-lance-back |archive-date=August 13, 2015 |access-date=August 13, 2015 |website=IGN}} On filming the episode, Guggenheim referred to it as "a Constantine{{hairsp}}/{{hairsp}}Arrow crossover" and felt that "we got the chance to extend Matt Ryan's run as Constantine by at least one more hour of television.

Jesse Schedeen of IGN felt in October 2018 that none of the character's Arrowverse appearances thus far "really directly reference the events of the Constantine series, leaving it up in the air as to whether this John Constantine is the same character from that series or if Ryan is merely playing a different, very similar version of his character."{{Cite web |last=Schedeen |first=Jesse |date=October 29, 2018 |title=Arrowverse Elseworlds Crossover: What The Return of The '90s Flash Means For DC's TV Multiverse |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/10/29/arrowverse-elseworlds-crossover-smallville-revival-90s-flash-john-wesley-shipp-barry |access-date=November 19, 2018 |website=IGN |archive-date=November 20, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181120015204/https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/10/29/arrowverse-elseworlds-crossover-smallville-revival-90s-flash-john-wesley-shipp-barry |url-status=live }} In November 2018, Ryan spoke to the relationship between the character seen in the NBC series and the one seen on Legends of Tomorrow and in the Arrowverse. He said the two were the same character with "the same DNA", and likened each appearance to that of different comic book writers and artists working with the character: "He has the same outline, but he looks different. The hair is slightly different. He has a slightly different cadence sometimes. Different artists and different writers write him in different ways." Ryan also noted that while the fourth season of Legends of Tomorrow mentions the Astra storyline from the NBC series, it would not explore the Brujeria storyline, though Constantine "still carries that baggage around with him".{{Cite news |last=Cairns |first=Bryan |date=November 26, 2018 |title=Matt Ryan Explains How Constantine Confronts His Dark Past (And Old Shows) In Legends of Tomorrow |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/matt-ryan-explains-how-constantine-confronts-his-dark-past-and-old-shows-in-legends-of |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181127064017/https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/matt-ryan-explains-how-constantine-confronts-his-dark-past-and-old-shows-in-legends-of |archive-date=November 27, 2018 |access-date=December 21, 2018 |website=Syfy Wire}}

Although Superman & Lois was initially conceived as a spin-off of Supergirl with several Arrowverse cast members reprising their roles, the series' second-season finale established it as set in an adjacent universe.{{Cite web |last=Burlingame |first=Russ |date=June 28, 2022 |title=Superman & Lois's Link to the Arrowverse Explained |url=https://comicbook.com/dc/news/superman-loiss-link-to-the-arrowverse-explained/ |access-date=June 29, 2022 |website=ComicBook.com |archive-date=June 29, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220629104953/https://comicbook.com/dc/news/superman-loiss-link-to-the-arrowverse-explained/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |last=Swift |first=Andy |date=June 28, 2022 |title=How Is Superman & Lois Connected to the Arrowverse?

Once they were, it "became a can of worms" to try to tie into the universe, with Helbing discussing with DC during the first season that the series would instead be on an alternate earth, which he could not reveal publicly until the end of the second season, which concluded in June 2022. At that time he said, "I totally understand DC's position... This wasn't meant to alienate us from the Arrowverse, but because a lot of the other shows are sadly no longer going to be on the air, it felt like the right thing to do."

After the first Arrow{{hairsp}}/{{hairsp}}Flash crossover, Brian Lowry of Variety talked about the spin-off series and the crossover, applauding the producers for replicating the success of Arrow but with "a lighter tone" and "a hero with genuine super powers" in The Flash, and calling the crossover an appropriate moment for everyone concerned to take a short but well-deserved victory lap." Lowry also said that the crossover "does a nifty job of bringing the two series together, although probably not in a manner likely to boost the shared audience between them much more than already exists."{{Cite web |last=Lowry |first=Brian |date=December 2, 2014 |title='The Flash' Keeps Hitting Its Stride With 'Arrow' Crossover |url=https://variety.com/2014/tv/columns/flash-arrow-crossover-review-episodes-1201368828/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160222094328/http://variety.com/2014/tv/columns/flash-arrow-crossover-review-episodes-1201368828/ |archive-date=February 22, 2016 |access-date=January 24, 2016 |website=Variety}} Meredith Borders at Birth.Movies.Death. called the crossover episodes "fun" and said positively that "too much happened that was unrelated to one show or the other – and that's a good thing. While the crossover episodes were definitely open to new viewers of either The Flash or Arrow (or both, presumably), with each episode wrapped up tidily by the end of its hour, plenty of show-specific plot stuff was advanced without spelling it out for newbies. New viewers to either show could follow along and have a good time, but veteran viewers were rewarded with major storyline motion."{{Cite news |last=Borders |first=Meredith |date=December 4, 2014 |title=TV Review: The Flash And Arrow Crossover Episodes |url=http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2014/12/04/tv-review-the-flash-and-arrow-crossover-episodes |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160130122809/http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2014/12/04/tv-review-the-flash-and-arrow-crossover-episodes |archive-date=January 30, 2016 |access-date=January 24, 2016 |website=Birth.Movies.Death.}}

Following the release of the first trailer for Supergirl, Paul Tassi wrote for Forbes about why he felt that series should be kept separate from the Arrowverse: He called the moment in the Arrow third-season finale where Barry Allen appears briefly, but abruptly leaves since "Arrow needs to let its own characters solve its problems", a "weird moment" that shows "the cracks [that] form when it's just two shows that have to work together on the regular." Tassi then noted the further complications of adding Supergirl, saying, "The more shows you have, the more heroes you introduce, the harder it is to keep explaining away why they're not constantly around to help each other. Supergirl already has that problem built-in with Superman, who it seems will not be a regular fixture on the show, and I'm sure there will be many excuses as to why he's too busy to help Supergirl fight her latest battle. Add in Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow mythology, and it's probably too much to juggle....I think Supergirl deserves to launch without Arrow and The Flash on its shoulders, and be allowed to find itself before being assimilated into an existing universe."{{Cite web |last=Tassi |first=Paul |date=May 14, 2015 |title=Why Supergirl Shouldn't Join The Flash/Arrowverse |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2015/05/14/why-supergirl-shouldnt-join-the-flasharrowverse/#730b6ac65b57 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160130114227/http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2015/05/14/why-supergirl-shouldnt-join-the-flasharrowverse/ |archive-date=January 30, 2016 |access-date=January 24, 2016 |website=Forbes}}

With the premiere of Legends of Tomorrow, Screen Rant's Alice Walker discussed how the series "has hurt Arrow and The Flash", noting that the latter required minimal setup when it was spun-off from the former and had an element of mystery surrounding its quality with "a "wait and see" attitude" from audiences, while Legends was instead met with much excitement long before its release leading to each piece of news concerning it being "publicized and met with fanfare – to the detriment of the other shows involved." Walker felt that audiences knowing which characters would appear in Legends, and how, took "the thrill out of the story" of the other series as such information spoiled some of their upcoming plot twists, including the resurrection of Sara Lance or the fact that Ray Palmer "could never really pose a threat to Oliver [Queen] and Felicity [Smoak]'s relationship, or run Palmer Technologies long term, since it was widely known that he would be a huge part of Legends." Additionally, the annual Arrow{{hairsp}}/{{hairsp}}The Flash crossover suffered from also trying to set up Legends, which was "too much to ask from the already crowded storylines and ended up feeling like an exercise in synchronicity, with producers planting more seeds than they could reap. The crossover event was no longer a fun way to contrast the two shows; it now had to serve the much larger purpose of setting up an entirely new world." Walker stated that the premiere of Legends "means that Arrow and The Flash can finally stop dedicating so much time and plot to laying the groundwork for the spin-off, and start focusing on the fundamentals of their own shows again."{{Cite web |last=Walker |first=Alice |date=January 20, 2016 |title=How Legends Of Tomorrow Has Hurt Arrow & The Flash |url=https://screenrant.com/legends-tomorrow-arrow-flash-plots/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170408004114/http://screenrant.com/legends-tomorrow-arrow-flash-plots/ |archive-date=April 8, 2017 |access-date=January 23, 2016 |website=Screen Rant}}

After the conclusion of the "Elseworlds" crossover revealed that the next crossover would be an adaptation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic, Mike Cecchini of Den of Geek stated: "The Arrowverse is becoming the most intricate, risky live action superhero universe in history. Yes, it's at least as big and crazy (perhaps even moreso in some ways) than the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and we had best enjoy this while we have it, because it's unlikely we'll ever see this much crazy DC Comics love on screen in one place at one time ever again."{{Cite web |last=Cecchini |first=Mike |date=December 12, 2018 |title=Elseworlds Ending Explained: What Does it Mean for the Future of the Arrowverse? |url=https://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/dc-entertainment/278127/elseworlds-ending-arrowverse-crossover-crisis-on-infinite-earths |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181212084248/https://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/dc-entertainment/278127/elseworlds-ending-arrowverse-crossover-crisis-on-infinite-earths |archive-date=December 12, 2018 |access-date=December 12, 2018 |publisher=Den of Geek}}

Ahead of the airing of The Flash{{'}}s series finale, "A New World, Part Four", which marked the conclusion of the Arrowverse as a whole, Sam Barsanti of The A.V. Club opined: "If not for the fact that it was focused on television, the Arrowverse would be regarded as one of the only cinematic universes beyond the MCU to actually work—and if you're basing it on pure hours of content, the Arrowverse is completely unmatched. For 11 years, the Arrowverse tied together one show, then two shows, then three shows, then four, five, sometimes six, then—once the multiverse was introduced in the 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' crossover event—the entirety of all live-action DC superhero shows and movies that have ever been made."{{Cite web |last=Barsanti |first=Sam |date=2023-05-24 |title=R.I.P. to the Arrowverse, the most ambitious experiment in the history of superhero TV |url=https://www.avclub.com/eulogy-for-the-arrowverse-the-flash-finale-the-cw-1850405897 |access-date=2023-05-25 |website=The A.V.

On February 23, 2016, Titan Books released Arrow: Vengeance, a tie-in novel by Oscar Balderrama and Lauren Certo, which is set before and during Arrow's second season, which details the origins of Slade Wilson, Isabel Rochev, and Sebastian Blood, and how they would all eventually meet and collaborate with each other to battle Oliver Queen / The Arrow as seen in the TV series.

When a group of his worst villains, including Pied Piper, Weather Wizard, and Peek-a-Boo, decide to launch an assault on him, so Barry decides to seek help from his most trusted ally, Oliver Queen / Green Arrow. The story continues in Arrow: A Generation of Vipers, by Susan and Clay Griffith, which was released by Titan on March 28, 2017, which detailed Team Flash and Team Arrow working together to eliminate the bizarre energy that threatens to kill the Flash.

{{Further|Blood Rush (web series)}}

On November 6, 2013, a six-episode series of shorts, titled Blood Rush, premiered alongside the broadcast of Arrow, as well as online. The series, which was presented by Bose, and features product placement for Bose products, was shot on location in Vancouver, similarly to the main show. The miniseries features Emily Bett Rickards, Colton Haynes and Paul Blackthorne reprising their roles of Felicity Smoak, Roy Harper and Quentin Lance, respectively. The episodes set during the course of the second season of the television series, show Roy coming to Queen Consolidated to have a meeting with Oliver. As he is out, Felicity tells Roy to go wait in the lobby. As Roy leaves, Officer Lance calls Felicity, telling her that the blood sample the Starling City police found on the vigilante, which Felicity destroyed, has resurfaced. Felicity then calls Roy, using Oliver's voice encoder, asking him to break into the lab to retrieve the sample. Felicity guides Roy through the lab, where he is able to recover the sample. As Roy is leaving, doctors enter the room, seemingly trapping him. He notifies Felicity, who then hacks into the building's PA system, and issues an evacuation notice, giving Roy a chance to escape. Roy gets out of the room before it enters into lock down, and is able to avoid two guards with the help of Felicity and exit the lab. Roy returns to Queen Consolidated, and Felicity offers to mail the acquired sample for Roy as he goes in to meet with Oliver.{{Cite news |last=Graser |first=Marc |date=November 8, 2013 |title=Bose and 'Arrow:' Sound Company Helps the CW Launch Superhero Spinoff 'Blood Rush' |url=https://variety.com/2013/digital/news/bose-and-arrow-sound-company-helps-the-cw-launch-superhero-spinoff-blood-rush-1200809759/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113010750/http://variety.com/2013/digital/news/bose-and-arrow-sound-company-helps-the-cw-launch-superhero-spinoff-blood-rush-1200809759/ |archive-date=November 13, 2013 |access-date=November 14, 2013 |work=Variety}}

The series features Valdes and Britne Oldford reprising their roles as Cisco Ramon and Peek-a-Boo respectively. Set in the second season of the television series, the series sees Cisco attempting to make the Flash suit bulletproof and body-odor proof. While working on these, he receives a late-night Meta-Human Alert within S.T.A.R. Labs, and learns that Peek-a-Boo triggered the alert. She has come to S.T.A.R. Labs to make Cisco create a weapon for her, as he did for Golden Glider, Captain Cold, and Heat Wave. When he does not cooperate, she shoots him. Cisco survives being shot, realizing that the orange soda he spilled on his shirt was the missing catalyst to his bulletproof formula. Cisco tries to bring Peek-a-Boo back to the pipeline, but she locks him in the cell instead. Cisco is then seen being woken up due to a call from Barry. He believes he dreamt the whole experience, until he finds the bullet that shot him on the ground.{{Cite web |last=Siegel |first=Lucas |date=April 19, 2016 |title=The Flash: Chronicles Of Cisco Part 1 Released |url=https://comicbook.com/dc/2016/04/19/the-flash-chronicles-of-cisco-part-1-released/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160420122510/http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/04/19/the-flash-chronicles-of-cisco-part-1-released/ |archive-date=April 20, 2016 |access-date=April 19, 2016 |website=ComicBook.com}}
