Wondering how all the DC universe TV spin-offs, crossovers and webseries fit together?
We have the answer…
The series proved quite the hit for The CW, and a second season renewal inevitably followed.
And with it the question: how does it all fit together?
OnlyThe Flashhad a clear connection withArrow.
As well as being anArrowspin-off, the two shows shared first one, then several crossover episodes.
So, how best to watch these shows?
There are multiple options.
While inter-connected, each show can obviously be watched in its own right.
To keep up, you just need to add the other shows crossover episodes to your chosen series.
Last seasonThe Flashaired on Tuesday,Arrowon Wednesday, andLegends Of Tomorrowon Thursday.
The only possible problem here might be that you have to go from one story arc to another.
So this might not be the ideal viewing order if binge-watching.
Often there are a number of episodes connected to each other in some way, for example by cliff-hanger.
The following list is a suggested and entirely unofficial watch order for the most pleasurable viewing experience.
Of course, you’re able to cut out a show at your own choosing.
Everything here is quite easy to follow, just go with the episode order.
It is important to note that the canon status of these comics are secondary to the TV series itself.
Thats why we start here.
Episode 2 does not flow directly into episode 3, so we go back toThe Flashafter this.
4.Arrowepisode 3 Corto Maltese and episode 4 The Magician
These episodes flow into each other.
5.The Flashepisode 4 Going Rogue
Felicity was not in episode 4 ofArrow, this episode explains why.
20.VixenSeason 1
VixenSeason 1 is a series of six webisodes, each about five minutes in length.
The latter will have a costume change soon, so it cannot be set later.
29.Arrowepisode 23 My Name is Oliver Queen
The season finale.
ConstantineSeason 1 is also its only season.
It has thirteen episodes.
You might wonder why she is added here, but it will all work out in the end.
2.Arrowepisode 1 Green Arrow
This self-contained episode returns Oliver Queen to Starling, I mean, Star City.
A self-contained episode that fits well in the break betweenArrowepisodes.
12.The Flashepisode 8 Legends of Today and Arrow episode 8 Legends of Yesterday
The second big crossover betweenThe FlashandArrow!
As the episode titles show, this crossover sets up the new showLegends Of Tomorrow.
13.Arrowepisode 9 Dark Waters, episode 10 Blood Debts
These episodes directly flow into each other.
14.Supergirlepisode 10 Childish Things
Another self-contained episode.
These episodes also flow into each other.
Episode 17 has an open ending, but this one will soon be resolved.
27.Supergirlepisode 18 Worlds Finest and The Flash episode 18 Versus Zoom
A case of overlap between these episodes.
InThe Flashs Versus Zoom we see The Flash break the barrier between Earths.
This is a quick event that is not mentioned in the episode, only shown.
However, this breach has to be The Flashs visit to Supergirls Earth, because of his costume modification.
After this each episode flows into the next on of their own show.
28.Supergirlepisode 19 Myriad and episode 20 Better Angels
The first show to finish its season.
These episodes all flow into each other.
This bunch of episodes all flow into each other, with an open ending for next season.
Written by Merlyn himself John Barrowman and his sister Carole Barrowman.
However, early in season 1 of that show a building with a neon green Q logo was spotted.
And inLegends of Tomorrowwe are introduced to Nyssas older sister Talia Al Ghul.
Maybe because she got pregnant with the child of a man from Gotham who left the League of Assassins?
So is Batman a real superhero in the world ofArrowandThe Flash?
Answers on a postcard like.
Some of you might also be wondering why The CWsiZombieis not included.
Another Vertigo adaption isLucifer.
This show is also standalone, but in this case, who knows?
TheLucifercomic did spin off fromHellblazer, the comic starring John Constantine.
There are also a number of older DC Comics shows, likeHuman Target.
Another addition to this universe will beFreedom Fighters: The Ray.
An animated series for The CW Seed akin toVixen.
Furthermore, FOX has ordered a Pilot episode forBlack Lightningfrom Greg Berlanti who famously produces the previously mentioned shows.
It is unclear if this new series will be set in the same universe, though.
Maybe in the end, its all connected…
