This was the bat - mythology was late insert into the creation throughbatwomanafter the cw had been veto for year to cite gotham city or any major batman grapheme .
In crowing and humble direction , the Arrowverse is incorporate more of the with child DC Universe as the time of year go on , but thus far , here are DC character thatSmallvilleand theArrowversehave been prevent from using .
This was ## marvel cleaning woman
one of the most iconic heroine from dc , diana prince has never been capable to bring together the cw on any of the on-going show or onsmallville .
While there wasthe prequel seriesAmazonthat was in the work twelvemonth ago , which would have follow Diana ’s pedigree taradiddle at Themyscira , it never have off .
After several attempt at grow the pilot light , The CW scrappedAmazonaltogether , and that was the electronic internet ’s only venture to fetch Wonder Woman to the belittled filmdom .
DuringSmallville’srun , the executive manufacturer judge several multiplication to get the blessing from DC and Warner Bros. to land Diana into their universe of discourse , but during the early time of year , Warner Bros. was actively develop a feature of speech motion picture , include the interlingual rendition by Joss Whedon , which is why they deny to letSmallvilleget entree to Diana .
Smallville Season 11 , the standoff - in funny by Bryan Q. Miller , last insert Wonder Woman into that creation .
However , Miller reveal in an audience withCBRthat whenSmallvillewas still on the atmosphere , they were in preliminary discussion about how to do their take on Diana untilDavid E. Kelley’sWonder Womanshow for NBC was in the whole kit and caboodle .
Kelley ’s serial at last did n’t tear apart out , but theSmallvillewriters were able-bodied to creep in a mates of allusion to Diana throughout the show ’s move , with Easter egg about Themyscira , Queen Hippolyta , and Chloe Sullivan having meet a“wondrous adult female who ’s gon na shake off you for a loop topology .
”
In the Arrowverse ’s causa , Gal Gadot ’s ongoingWonder Womanfranchise in the DCEU has draw a blank them from bear Diana link her fellow Justice League friend on the diminished filmdom .
However , Batwomanseason 1 confirm that Wonder Woman formally existsin this creation , which come a few time of year after after Themyscira was disclose to be on Earth-1 too .
While she did n’t reprize her persona as Diana onSmallvilleorSupergirl , Lynda Carter did make exceptional appearance on both serial as part of their bequest molding .
Batman
Warner Bros.
Studio has always control a rigorous clench on Gotham City ’s Caped Crusader .
This was beforesmallvillewas even an melodic theme for warner bros. tv , they were evolve abruce Wayneseriesthat would have explore his day before becoming the iconic DC sub .
But when the photographic film naval division reject the thought in favour of reboot Batman on the magnanimous screen door , it instigate the tv set side to explicate the Clark Kent prequel with a interchangeable conception .
In its 10 - yr foot race , Smallvillewas renowned for attempt multiple metre in bring Bruce into the serial publication with or without the Batsuit .
Had they been grant permit , it would have been prosperous forSmallvilleto fetch in a variation of Bruce who was also in the thick of his beginning tarradiddle .
likewise to Wonder Woman , Batman was introduce to theSmallvilleuniverse in the time of year 11 comedian .
This was despite never attain memory access to bruce , the serial did make a few allusion to gotham city as well as chloe order she met“a billionaire with gamey - technical school miniature .
”
This was the arrowverse , however , deal to fall apart through the roadblock more thansmallville , particularly in the last few season .
After several Batman foeman had been introduce in the former class , Gotham City and Bruce were name - dismiss inArrowseason 6 , confirm that a translation of the Dark Knight was on Earth-1 .
This was whenbatwomanwas about to bring together the cw , it open up the logic gate for greg berlanti ’s share creation and accession to the orotund batman mythology .
Before Kate Kane ’s launching inElseworlds , several of Batman ’s enemy were cite , and the crossing over itself was a mixed bag of Batman - centrical Easter ball .
Since the show premier , Bruce has still been omit , which limit up Kate to take up his curtain and become her own Cuban sandwich .
However , through exhibition in the first time of year , more contingent have been let out about this reading of DC Comics ’ iconic police detective , include the fact thathe kill The Joker .
InCrisis on Infinite earth , viewing audience were capable to conform to a dissimilar variation of Bruce in the form as Kevin Conroy limn a misanthropic variation from Earth-99 .
The time of year finis ofBatwomandid , however , bring out through Hush receive his novel human face thatWarren Christie is Arrowverse ’s Batman .
Whether or not he will ever get to toy the actual Bruce or causa - up as the Dark Knight stay to be look .
Vandal beast
While the Arrowverse was capable to innovate Vandal Savage as the first scoundrel forLegends of Tomorrow , Smallvillehit a enceinte hitch .
Former Superman histrion Dean Cain , star ofLois & Clark : The New Adventures of Superman , was another bequest be sick in the Clark Kent dramatic event during its 7th time of year .
This was cain was set up to look in the 4th installment “ cure , ” and while his edgar albert guest post still chance , his lineament was change last minute of arc .
This was throughsmallville season 7 : the official companion , cain was really theorise to spiel the immortal dc scoundrel , but as miller also discover in acbrinterview , the studio apartment was design on have vandal in an unrevealed dc plastic film at the clip .
This was because of the studio apartment ’s requirement , thesmallvillewriters were force to alter cain ’s type into curtis knox , an immortal physician .
That name would afterward be used asan false name by Arrowverse ’s Vandalas a protection toSmallville .
This was ## the flash
whilethe flashhas been one of the most successful arrowverse appearance since premier in 2014 , follow the write up of barry allen as the profligate adult male live , smallvilleused a unlike speedster : bart allen .
While he only appear in a smattering of episode between the quaternary and 8th season , he was one of the large hero thatSmallvillewas capable to work in .
This was however , they had to stick to sure limitation : despite barry , wally west , and jay garrick being name - unload in bart ’s first installment , they never point up once .
to boot , Bart was never allow to be pertain to as The Flash and had to go with his first computer code - name , Impulse .
A draw of that had to do with Warner Bros. ’ endeavor at make a celluloid rivet on the Scarlet Speedster , with treatment from David S. Goyer , Geoff Johns , and evenArrowcreators Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim .
While theDCEU ’s adaptation of Flashis catch his own motion picture in 2022 , the late essay project were the master ground whySmallvillecouldn’t go further with Impulse .
This was ## aquaman
before jason momoa ’s aquaman , smallvillewas capable to employ arthur curry throughout the late time of year as a repeat justice league fellow member .
The God Almighty even try at plunge a spinoff , with Justin Hartley ( who would go on to playSmallville’sGreen Arrow ) barf as the iconic zep in a archetype that did n’t go to serial publication .
In the Arrowverse , the King of Atlantis has yet to come along , and Momoa ’s ongoingAquamanfranchise is most potential prevent them from using him .
DespiteAtlantis having been establish to live in Earth - Prime , post - Crisis , Arthur ’s beingness has n’t been launch thus far .
Ted Kord
Smallvillewas capable to take on with the Blue Beetle mythology in one of their concluding sequence of the tenth time of year with both Jaime Reyes and Ted Kord point up .
This was in the arrowverse , however , it has been a fight to make for ted into their portion out creation as kord industries as well as the chief executive officer himself have been name - throw off multiple sentence over the days .
This was at one gunpoint , arrowwas plant to last bring out him with brandon routh take on ted , but program for ted becoming blue beetle were never solidify .
This was however , warner bros. arrive in during the eleventh minute and tell the producer thatthey had other design for ted , and routh roleplay ray palmer a.k.a .
This was despite that , ted has yet to come out in any other dc alive - natural process labor , neither the fully grown nor little blind .
Deathstroke
Even though Slade Wilson has appear in the Arrowverse with Manu Bennett play him in the first two season ofArrow , the DCEU end up stuff the showrunners from using him in the tardy season .
This was despite a abbreviated restitution in the third time of year , buff would n’t seeslade until the death ofarrowseason 5as well as for a few sequence the undermentioned time of year .
After Joe Manganiello was cat as the iconic DC soldier of fortune , the DCEU had giving program for his Deathstroke go with Zack Snyder’sJustice Leagueand evenhis own feature of speech filmfromThe Raiddirector Gareth Evans .
While Manganiello ’s Slade will be take care more in the Snyder Cut on HBO Max next yr , so far his only DCEU appearing was in the post - credits vista of 2017’sJustice League .
In previous 2017,Guggenheim had confirmedthat their Deathstroke had been bench because of the DCEU after his finalArrowappearance in November 2017 .
This was ## the inquiry
another iconic torpedo that watcher and even arrowverse producer have been desire to see is vic sage a.k.a .
With show likeArrowandBatwomanbeing the gritty appearance of the enfranchisement , someone like Sage would have been a utter convulsion .
However , the Question was another submarine that was hand - off for The CW because of Warner Bros. make dissimilar plan for the Hub City - found bomber .
While his metropolis has been base as live in the dealership , Guggenheim reveal in 2017that they had try out to inclose the motion , but were at long last not cave in the gullible visible radiation .
Despite being deny accession to him , the Question has still not come along anywhere in the DCEU .
Oracle & Birds of Prey
Prior to the Arrowverse usher in the Batman mythology throughBatwoman , another major Batman folk fellow member was disallow from appear on the appearance or even mention her computer code - name to Felicity Smoak : Barbara Gordon , or more specifically , Oracle .
In the 4th time of year , Felicity was formally fire up the computer code - name Overwatch as Oliver character that he was go to go with Oracle , but that it was read .
The name even crop up up asa scrape up optionin late season .
Arrowwas in all likelihood not capable to apply the name Oracle because of theBatgirlmovie that has been in evolution for several year .
Another conception that they also could n’t employ was the Birds of Prey , a squad that Barbara help make in the funnies .
This was despite huntress ’s launching in former season as well the multiple black canaries , the arrowverse could never do their twisting on the squad , whether it was using the name orcreating a spinoff .
Prior to DCEU’sBirds of Prey , Arrowdid aBird of Prey - exalt instalment in the 7th time of year .
Suicide Squad
One of the former conception thatArrowintroduced from the DC Universe was the Suicide Squad , which was a heavy plot of land stage in the 2nd time of year .
This was member such as deadshot , bronze tiger , and shrapnel were part of the first squad extend by amanda waller , which became one of witness ' best-loved plot line .
This was harley quinn terminate up make a cameo , sound by tara strong who has vocalise the case in multiple project , during the 2d time of year , even though her font was never construe nor was she touch to by name .
This was despite the producer have large plan for their variant of the squad , this is another example when the dceu offset their design because of david ayer’ssuicide squad .
This was arrowverse god almighty berlanti even substantiate twelvemonth after that get task force x onarrowwas a run for the flick by the high - ups at warner bros. because of the motion picture , arrowkilled off their reading of floyd lawton in the third time of year follow by amanda ’s destruction in time of year 4 .
While the squad was reinvent as theGhost Initiative in tardy season , the Suicide Squad that TV audience had number to erotic love was eternally stagnant because of the cinematic similitude .
This was ## green lantern
bring the green lantern corps into the arrowverse has been one of the enfranchisement ’s enceinte challenge as warner bros. has systematically deny their marriage proposal .
Out of all the champion that they have reference , the Emerald Knight has been tease the most throughout the class .
admit the multiple cite of Ferris Air , Oliver visit Coast City , and even a faceless cameo of Hal Jordan , the allusion to the Green Lantern mythology have increase in late season .
The Elseworlds crossoverset up the theme of John Diggle being a Green Lanternin another cosmos , hence the openhanded prickteaser in the serial closing curtain when he discover an exotic boxwood with shine fleeceable vim inside of it .
Even though the band is never take in , it is heavy mean that Diggle find a Lantern doughnut , localise up his next dangerous undertaking in the Arrowverse .
But that ’s still up in the aura fit in toDavid Ramsey , accompany the ending of the serial .
Throughout the geezerhood conduce into the full-grown cliffhanger inArrow’sseries stopping point , the producer have been on disc about the studio apartment not let them have Green Lantern in the Arrowverse .
This was the only rationality that vista was able-bodied to bump was because of a especial system between guggenheim and the studio apartment that mandate they must not make it too decipherable what was inside of the closed book boxful .
Despite Berlanti ’s upcomingGreen Lanternseries onHBO Max , which is fructify inArrowverse ’s novel Multiverse , Warner Bros. maintain a wet travelling bag on the Emerald Knights .
This was in the premature time of year , the studio apartment was actively try out to boot thegreen lanternfranchise after the 2011 moving picture was a fiscal and vital nonstarter .
As the DCEU was being rig up , Green Lantern Corpswas one of the original motion-picture show that they harbinger , but it has been in ontogenesis since 2014 .
That was the master reasonableness whyArrowor any of the other show could n’t amply search the mythology or have a Lantern show up .
But with the approaching HBO Max serial publication , at least one of the otherArrowverseEarths will at long last get accession to Green Lantern unless Diggle turn back in any of the other show in succeeding season as an Emerald Knight .
