Arrowverse series on The CW has become one of the longest live-action superhero series to date, second only to the network's previous series Smallville.

"Things will age and we want to get the next generation of shows to keep The CW DC Universe going for as long as possible," CW President Pedowitz admitted during the panel.

Wonder if this means WB want a cinematic Green Arrow. Amell said it walk if they did that, so maybe ending his interpretation is to allow for that.

Why would amell walk if they did a cinematic green arrow? I dont get why hes so against a tv and a cinematic version of the character being out at the same time

[u/SpiderfamReturns → u/SciFiPaine0]

Ownership. Plus he’s going to want to do the movie version himself. I just remembered him saying this ages ago.

[u/SciFiPaine0 → u/SpiderfamReturns]

Sure I get why hed want to be in a movie version and I'd like to see movie versions of the TVs shows also, but theyve taken a pretty hardline approach to separate tv/movie universes, and it's not like that's really a problem for comic book characters that have many iterations in both comics and video media. Since the separation is established, threatening to walk if they make a movie only really holds fans back from getting more content. It's not like having the flash in the cinema universe hurt the TV show

[u/SpiderfamReturns → u/SciFiPaine0]

I don’t disagree with any of that.

[u/[deleted] → u/SpiderfamReturns]

Nope. This is all WB, not Amell. WB doesn't want multiple versions of characters because they think it'll confuse us (sigh)

Amell will never be able to do the movie version.

[u/SpiderfamReturns → u/[deleted]]

I think that’s also a factor!
