Shaman's Thoughts: How to make the 'Arrowverse' THE DC Cinematic Universe (Part 2)

Yes, I used the same photo from the last post, fight me brah

Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back once again with some Superhero talk! Earlier this week, I wrote a post in regards to how to make the 'Arrowverse' (Or CWverse if you prefer) the DC Cinematic Universe and how to fit the DCEU movies into them. If you want, you can check it out in my featured posts. Today however, we're more focused on building this crazy new universe I've created. 

Shaman's Thoughts: How to make the 'Arrowverse' THE DC Cinematic Universe

I resist the urge to vomit at calling it the 'Arrowverse'...

Happy New Year (9 days in is remotely new, right?) Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with some more Superhero talk; and today we're writing Fanfiction! No seriously.

Today's topic has been something that's plagued my mind for a month now, and with the Gotham City Sirens movie recently announced, I need to write it out and get it out of my head; a little while ago, I read that the DC Tv shows have made a billion dollars a year for Warner Bros. These shows include IZombie, Preacher, and Gotham. But also, the CW/Arrowverse which consists of The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl. This is as opposed to the DCEU and the fact that it's biggest movie (Batman v Superman) struggled to break even in theaters. 

Now this post isn't some DCEU bashing, I've done that enough on my various social media accounts. This is just me looking at things as they are currently at face value, who knows what could happen in a year's time. But as is, The DCEU is currently 1 for 3 financially (Counting Man of Steel because it didn't make the money WB wanted it to make) and 0 for 3 critically; and while I don't know how much money the CW Verse is pulling in as a profit, considering TV shows are cheaper to make than most movies it's safe to say that WB is making a pretty penny. Not to mention, they're generally more well received than the movies so far. So, the way I see it, instead of trying to push forward with a movie universe that continues to divide fans, let's go all in and expand on a universe that IS working.

Before the DCEU fans jump down my gullet, I'm not trying to nix everything in the universe. In fact, I want to take everything that DOES work and retrofit it into the Arrowverse, even expand on some (Okay, like maybe just one) ideas they brought to the table. This is just an idea/concept I'm working with so the details aren't hammered out. Sit tight folks, this is my attempt at merging the CW Universe and DCEU, leaving the CW Verse as our DC Cinematic Universe.
