It was assumed when Marvel began the second phase of their movie universe that Warner Bros. and DC Comics would be rushing to catch up. While they are, indeed, on their way to establishing a full-blown Justice League on the big screen, it’s the small screen that is clearly the priority where DC is concerned. Namely: Arrow, The Flash, Gotham, Constantine, Supergirl, and even Lucifer.
In the space of a few months, WB has turned the tables, leaving the film side of the DC Universe to catch up to its televised counterpart; as Arrow star Stephen Amell put it: they’re already “creating a Justice League on TV.” According to the executive producer of both Arrow and The Flash, TV isn’t leaving film behind because it’s cheaper – it might just be a better format for those superheroes’ stories.
