Arrowverse General Arrowverse Watching Order 2.0

[famicommander]

Massive update, sorry for the delay.

I may regret it if the show factors into the Crisis next year, but since there have been no crossovers after two seasons I have removed Black Lightning from the list.

Assuming Batwoman is ordered to series, it will takeover the black lettering in the order next year.

Where does LoT fall in the episodes since Christmas? Is it after everything currently listed?

Amazing work by the way, this list keeps me sane when trying to watch all these series.

Hey, any update on this for the rest of Year 7?

Are you the same loldudester from the RT subreddit?

I am, why d'you ask?

I am, why d'you ask?

No reason in particular. I just recognized your name and was curious if you were the same person.

Always nice to meet a fan

Updated through the end of year 7.

Next year Batwoman joins up. It will be represented by the color black in the watching order.

As I said before, Black Lightning has been dropped since it went two full seasons without a crossover. If it ever happens to cross over down the line, I will add it back.

 

[JimmyKillmonger]

First of all, this is freaking amazing. I've seen a lot of the earlier seasons of these shows, but dropped watching them all a couple of years ago. So I'm using this order while going ahead with my rewatch/catch up.
With that being said, I have a question. Is there a reason why Arrow 3.01 and 3.02 are placed before The Flash 1.01? In Arrow, Barry and Oliver speak, and Barry is already the Flash, so wouldn't it make more sense to have the Flash pilot come first in year 3?
Sorry if this comes across as rude or anything. Definitely not my intention. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for this!

 

[famicommander]

There are some episodes which take place over the span of more than one day, and events of another series take place within that span. So it won't always line up 100%.

But it doesn't mean my order is necessarily right. I keep meaning to run back through and look for any inconsistencies, but I can't find the time.

 

[JimmyKillmonger]

Thanks for the response! I'll admit that from an Arrow narrative standpoint, it makes more sense to put those episodes first. It's just a little jarring to see Barry awake before his "official" introduction. Other than that it works quite well, which is probably why the order is the way it is.

Black Lightning: 'There's Been Lots of Talk' About Joining the Arrowverse

Just when I finally gave up on the show joining the Arrowverse, the lead is on record saying it will probably happen and he personally wants Supergirl on his show.

Luckily I saved a backup of my old order with the Black Lightning episodes still in the spot I originally placed them, so it shouldn't be too hard to add them back in.

Nice forward planning!

 

[famicommander]

I really hope they don't add Smallville to the official continuity, per the Crisis rumors lately. I hate that show and I don't want to add it to this list. Would also be poor timing with the recent sex cult scandal. Welling is a black hole of charisma. Sucks the energy out of every scene he's in. Ruined an entire season of Lucifer.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

I never got into Smallville. The thought of getting these actors back for Crisis does excite me though. Maybe not so much with Welling (as I say, I never got into it), but the rumoured possibilities of Burt Ward playing a retired Robin and Lynda Carter an older Wonder Woman have got me pretty hyped. If that actually happens will you be adding Batman '66 and Wonder Woman '77 to your list too?

 

[famicommander]

Yes, I will add anything to the order that has a genuine crossover.

If Welling, Carter, or Ward play the same versions of their respective characters like John Wesley Shipp has done for 90s Flash, then I will add their shows to the order.

If they play Superman, Wonder Woman, and Robin in general but not specifically the ones from the older shows (ala Routh playing Superman again but not canon Donnerverse Superman), then I won't.

Burt Ward is actually confirmed for the crossover. The other two are rumors are far as I know. But there is no confirmation who Ward has been cast as.

So it seems Routh is playing Kingdom Come Superman; but hypothetically, if he was playing Donnerverse Superman, would you include Superman Returns? In fact, would you include all four of Reeve's films as well? Or would you limit to TV?

I would add anything with an official crossover.

The order as it is already includes promotional mini webseries, animated webseries edited into films, and two formerly unrelated TV series that later crossed over. No reason why I wouldn't add live action movies.

Did you have any idea when you took this on how potentially big it could get?

 

[famicommander]

By the time I started researching orders and then making my own, the Arrowverse was already pretty large.

I think by that point Arrow, Flash, 90s Flash, Constantine, Legends, Supergirl, and Vixen were all already connected in some way or another.

Hello, I am new to the Arrowverse series and plan to use this list (great work btw), but I have a problem.
I'm still in Arrrow season 2 but realized that here in Mexico, Netflix only has 6 Arrow seasons, 4 Flash seasons and 3 Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow seasons. So would you mind telling me where you watch the series? Is it in normal television or a streaming service? If so, what's the name of the channel or service? The website CWSeed doesn't work in my country either for legal reasons

The other shows periodically appear and disappear from other streaming services but I don't know that there's a way to watch them all at any given time online. You may be able to buy the shows on a digital service like Amazon, iTunes, Google Play Store, or Vudu.

I watch them on live TV or DVR as they air, but for older stuff I simply bought everything on Blu-Ray (where available) or DVD. That's how I watch the shows.

The promotional short series (Blood Rush, Chronicles of Cisco, Flash Stretched Scenes) can be found on Youtube, but they're only like 1-5 minute shorts.

If you want to get everything on physical media:
The Flash (1990): Complete series available in one DVD set, usually goes for 15-30 dollars
Constantine: Complete series available in one Blu Ray or DVD set
Vixen: The Movie available on DVD or Blu Ray, has all Vixen episodes plus extras edited into a film
Freedom Fighters: the Ray is the same deal as Vixen, also on DVD or Blu Ray

Arrow, The Flash (2014-ongoing), Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl all have individual box sets per season of the show on DVD or Blu Ray.

Yeah thank you I might buy some seasons

Also do you know of a way to watch flash 1990 without buying it?

Thinking about this some more I guess it would just be the first two Reeve films, given that Superman Returns ignores III and IV.
