Cutting across Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow and running between December 2019 and January 2020, the five-part Arrowverse mega-crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths" featured a ton of appearances from several DC Comics-related series So you can only imagine how excited Smallville fans were when they heard that Tom Welling and[...]

When we last checked in with Grant Gustin, he was having a reunion in NYC with his Arrowverse bud Stephen Amell (Arrow) as he was readying for his Broadway debut in the Imperial Theater's production of Water for Elephants But not long before then, Gustin celebrated that all-important February 3, 2024 date (more on that below)[...]

While we will always think of Stephen Amell & Grant Gustin as Oliver Queen from Arrow and Barry Allen from The Flash, respectively, we can't expect them to spend their entire careers in the Arrowverse In fact, both made headlines over the past few weeks, with Amell locking down the lead role for the pilot[...]

Ray Palmer on The CW's DC's Legends of Tomorrow (and several guest appearances throughout the "Arrowverse"), and as Superman/Clark Kent in 2006's Superman Returns and the Earth-96 version in 2019-2020 "Arrowverse" crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (Part 2: Batwoman Season 1 Episode 9) While we still have mixed feelings about "Returns" overall, Routh's portrayal[...]

It's February 3, 2024, Flash fans - did you really think that Grant Gustin would forget? Check out what he had to say about the special day...

We were closing the book on the "Arrowverse," though the love, respect & appreciation for what that small-screen DC Universe was able to accomplish hasn't diminished Earlier today, Panabaker brought the "Arrowverse" back into our lives one more time, offering a series of behind-the-scenes looks at her run over the years in honor of January[...]

For Arrowverse fans, May 24, 2023, was truly the end of an era That's when "A New World, Part Four: Finale" (directed by Vanessa Parise and written by Eric Wallace & Sam Chalsen) aired – bringing to an end not just the nine-season run of The CW's Grant Gustin, Candice Patton & Danielle Panabaker-starring The Flash but also[...]

After nine seasons of a series that helped the "Arrowverse" blow up and also closed the final chapter on it (at least for now?), it's no surprise But maybe the biggest compliment paid to Gustin's turn as the Scarlet Speedster was the legion of fans who took to social media wondering why Gustin wasn't being[...]

Though the final chapter on the "Arrowverse" universe may have been written when The CW's Grant Gustin, Candice Patton & Danielle Panabaker-starring The Flash ran its last mile back in May with "A New World, Part Four: Finale," Warner Bros Home Entertainment is giving fans a chance to own Barry Allen's (Gustin) final run this Tuesday,[...]

On Friday, showrunner & executive producer Beth Schwartz (DC's Legends of Tomorrow), series creator Marc Guggenheim, and other members of the Arrowverse unleashed the "Arrow" Reunion Picket upon Warner Bros Studios in Burbank, California And the focused event was a success on a number of levels – not the least of which was shining a spotlight[...]

While we will readily admit that there was a lot more to cover than we could reasonably do in 1-2 posts, we do have a look at what a number of members of the "Arrowverse" had to say about the importance of SAG-AFTRA & WGA and why it's important for the unions to stand up[...]

Today? Amell joined the SAG-AFTRA picket lines in NYC earlier today (check out some images here) – but didn't forget to reach out to his "Arrowverse" fam on the west coast. Image/Screencap: The CW, TMZ Here's a look at the video from The Hollywood Reporter, with Guggenheim sharing that he spoke with Amell the night before and[...]

Even in the midst of his birthday celebration, Gunn was still able to carve out some updates and a bit of gossip clean-up regarding The CW's "Arrowverse" The Flash star Grant Gustin But first, we have those updates we just mentioned – and both have to do with Gunn & Peter Safran's upcoming animated series based[...]

Writer & EP Beth Schwartz put the word out about the Arrow Reunion Picket set for Friday, August 11th - but will Stephen Amell attend?

Stephen Amell (Arrow, Heels) issued a lengthy statement online looking to clarifying his comments about not supporting the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Before actor/director Michael Cudlitz (The Walking Dead, Clarice) joined The CW's Tyler Hoechlin & Elizabeth Tulloch-starring Superman & Lois during the third season as the major big bad, it was Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor who was terrorizing the "Arrowverse" on The CW screens So if anyone's radar was going to go off when Elon Musk revealed[...]

Heading into the series finale of The CW's Grant Gustin & Candice Patton-starring The Flash, we checked with a number of folks from across the Arrowverse as they shared their thoughts & feelings about television's shared DCU coming to an end (for now?) after a decade-plus run In particular, we were curious to know how[...]

Now, we've made it pretty clear in the past that we thought Gunn & Safran should publically acknowledge an appreciation for the importance of it as The CW's Grant Gustin & Candice Patton-starring The Flash and the overall Arrowverse First, because the folks behind the decade-plus-old shared universe had earned the respect, and it would[...]

In the case of Arrow star Stephen Amell, we get to dip our toe back into the Arrowverse in a very personal way Taking to Twitter on Friday, Amell posted a message to a kid who he accidentally ran into at the Seattle airport while trying to grab a connecting flight In reaching out to[...]

That resulted in a ton of unhappy Arrowverse fans who want a little more clarity about the decision-making process that went into leaving the show -and Gustin, in particular – on the sidelines (more of our thoughts on that in a minute) Well, leave it to none other than Kevin Smith (joined, as always, by[...]

For us, that translates further into "We chose not to include the Arrowverse in the film." And that brings us to the film's seemingly disappointing holiday weekend box office numbers (we won't know the final number until probably Tuesday – maybe late Monday night) The reportedly $200M+ film has had a three-day box office at around[...]

Even with The CW's Grant Gustin & Candice Patton-starring The Flash set for its final run, Arrowverse fans had some hope back in May that maybe the book wasn't being closed on the shared DC television universe Speaking with EW, The Flash showrunner Eric Wallace revealed, "I'm going to have lunch with [Superman & Lois[...]

And when you're playing Supergirl, it's not a huge surprise if you get asked about Melissa Benoist, who portrayed the character for six seasons and was one of the main staples of the "Arrowverse." Speaking with Buzzfeed, Calle shared the exchange she had with Benoist and how much it meant to her – especially since[...]

The CW's Grant Gustin, Candice Patton & Danielle Panabaker-starring The Flash has officially closed the book on its nine-season run as well as the decade-plus-old "Arrowverse," but not before attempting to tie up as many of the show's storylines as possible while leaving the shared universe with a sense of promise & hope To make[...]

Just when we thought there were no more "feels" left to be kicked when it came to the end of The CW's Grant Gustin, Candice Patton & Danielle Panabaker-starring The Flash and (at least for now?) the Arrowverse, leave it to Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen, Arrow) to have one more gem left to share And[...]

Maybe it has to do with this quote coming only two days after we shared our thoughts on how DC Studios' James Gunn & Peter Safran should handle the Arrowverse moving forward Whatever the reason, there's this quote from The Flash film director Andrés "Andy" Muschietti during The Discourse podcast about Ezra Miller that kinda[...]

It began on October 10, 2012, with Arrow S01E01 (directed by David Nutter with a story by Greg Berlanti & Marc Guggenheim and a teleplay by Andrew Kreisberg & Guggenheim), and it ended on May 24, 2023, with The Flash S09E13 "A New World, Part Four" (directed by Vanessa Parise and written by Eric Wallace[...]
