The CW’s Arrow was the show that kickstarted a slate of TV series based on DC comics that came to be known unofficially by fans as the ‘Arrowverse’. But with its 8th and final season just gone, The CW and Arrow star Steve Amell have been wondering what to name the shared universe after its cornerstone ended.
The CW have attempted to solve this quandary with a promotional video released on their YouTube channel, paying tribute to Arrow while laying out the future of their DC shows, calling it The CWverse! But fans have rejected this with one commenter saying “Umm Stephen Amell ain’t build this universe to be treated like some goofy. It’s the ARROWVERSE forever & always.” However Steve Amell stepped into the discussion with a suggestion of his own, posting on his Twitter account “It’s the Berlantiverse” referring to Arrowverse/The CWverse creator and executive producer Greg Berlanti.
First broadcast in 2012, Arrow was an instant hit with DC comics fans spinning off and crossing over into The Flash in 2014. Since then it’s quickly expanded with Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, Batwoman, Stargirl and the upcoming Superman & Lois. The regular crossover events between those shows culminated with the recent Crisis on Infinite Earths, loosely based on the landmark DC comics crossover, which featured cameos from practically every DC screen adaptation that’s ever existed. It even intersected the DCEU movies when Ezra Miller’s Flash met with Grant Gustin’s CW Flash. The huge crossover event was lauded as one of the most ambitious TV projects ever undertaken.
The DCEU films and Arrowverse/CWverse look set to become even further entwined with each other and the 2022 solo The Flash movie that’s set to combine all filmed DC adaptations into one giant shared universe, with Michael Keaton returning to the role of Batman for the first time since 1992’s Batman Returns.
