message: I would like to point out that there are two other shows in progress besides Wonder Woman, Blue Beetle, and The Raven.
A while back, Vertigo's Sandman series writer, Neil Gaiman confirmed he was talking with WB and DC to make a show for HBO. Here's the most recent article I can find on the series as of now: http://screenrant.com/neil-gaiman-the-sandman-tv-series-rob-76577/
The second is a Captain Marvel/Power of SHAZAM! TV show. In August 2010, Los Angeles Times reported that discussions had begun to possibly cancel the theatrical movie and do a live action series for prime time network television instead (This information can be found on the Captain Marvel (DC comics) page, here on Wikipedia in the "Films" section).

I want to add, the Captain Marvel/Power of SHAZAM TV show wasn't added to the list of shows in some sort of production (As mentioned from my last update above this one). JAR Head 14:16, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

I just want to talk to you guys and/or ladies about that. can we have like a voting to determine the movement?? because I am for it. also, if we move it to the main space we can write instead of "Part of the same universe as Arrow and The Flash" write "Part of the Arrowverse" and link it.The Ouroboros, the Undying, the Immortal (talk) 20:59, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Supergirl received a series order. That is the only place it should be on this article. The "leaked" pilot and the eventual series are one in the same, despite any differences. If they were completely different (ie the original pilot for The Big Bang Theory was a totally different show than what eventually aired) that would be a proper reason to include in the pilot section here. Anything regarding differences in how the episode actually aired, should be noted on the series or episode page in question. Additionally, all information must come from reliable sources, of which Reddit is not. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:21, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

message: Young Justice is listed in both the finished list and upcoming list. It's simply the same show having been revived, so while technically not "ongoing" it should still be in that list because production is simply being resumed (the next season will be 3, not back to 1). A note can be made that it was cancelled and then renewed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk • contribs)

message: When it comes to the Arrowverse, it seems like everything can be adjacent to it. But we should be very specific on this page, as it's pretty much going wild in the reality of the situation. What shows should be considered part of the Arrowverse on The CW are Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of the Tomorrow (perhaps some kind of Constantine note), and any other spin-off that comes out of it, as well the animated Arrowverse shows done for the CW Seed, like Vixen and The Ray (not sure what the canon of Deathstroke is), otherwise this whole page might as well just be merged with Arrowverse. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk) 15:34, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

text: I don't mean to interject but I'd just like to say that all in development projects are potential, and that when they're announced by a network as being "in development" it means that scripts are being worked on and in some cases pilots are being filmed for executives to decide if they think the project should move forward with a series order or not. A lot of projects can spend years if not decades in development so just because a year has passed since this project was first announced it doesn't mean that it's never going to happen. It explicitly states in this article (which is a reliable source btw) that (and I quote) "there are still "conversations" being had" about the project. And this is indeed an update. Apd9696 (talk) 15:59, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes exactly. Us as editors and readers can not interject our own thoughts of "well there hasn't been any updates in X amount of time, the project must be dead". We need sources to confirm either way that a project is still happen by being picked up or being considered, or is indeed dead. And if for some chance those never come, after a lengthy time has passed, it can be reevaluated for its inclusion here. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:04, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

message: @OscarFercho - re:
The reason I included the specific date in WP of the last episode (which came from the source article I cited) was so that on or after that date, some editor would know to move Stargirl out of the Ongoing section of this article and place it up with other now-cancelled shows such as Naomi. There's no telling if I will personally remember to make that change or not (more than a month from now), and I wanted to leave it as a reminder for others. And I certainly didn't see any harm in putting the date there (esp. since the entire "Ending when..." part of the note - the part I added - ought to be removed once the show is actually finished and it gets moved out of the Ongoing section). But we can leave the date off if that's your preference. Just trying to help all-around. DiscoBookworm (talk) 11:02, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

message: I've noticed a bit of an inconsistency with the unaired pilots that we have listed. We have the unaired pilot for Human Target, but we don't have the unaired pilot for Birds of Prey (I saw someone add the BoP pilot a while ago, but it was removed, so I assume this is an intentional choice). In both cases, the unaired pilot is largely the same as the one that ended up airing with the same script and most of the same footage, just with some reshoots due to re-casting of secondary characters and a few minor differences (Human Target's editing and music are a bit different, Birds of Prey adds extra narration to the beginning of the episode). So, why do we have Human Target and not Birds of Prey?
Personally I don't consider either to be a distinct piece of content, so if it was up to me I'd remove the Human Target pilot, but either way we should be consistent about this. ShyKen (talk) 15:34, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's primarily cause the Human Target pilot was done a couple of years before the show was ordered and involved significant reshoots, the new version is considerably different.. while Birds of Prey was mostly the same and was done within the same pilot season.

message: Today, DC unveiled their slate for upcoming series' and films for the next few years. While the announcements are clearly not a comprehensive list, some of the in development series' listed in this article that were not mentioned are particularly notable to be absent from the slate. Some of these projects have not received any kind of update in over a year, in some cases several years now, most notably the live-action DC Super Hero High (was announced over 3 years ago, no updates since), the Justice League Dark series, the Val-Zod series, and the Aqualad series.
Under normal conditions it might be acceptable to simply leave these as is until we can officially confirm that they've been cancelled, but between the shakeups caused by the WB/Discovery merger last year, the shakeups within DC itself in the last few months, the fact that there's been no news about some of these since before the shakeups, DC's tendency to quietly scrap projects without a formal announcement (I was looking into Secret Six the other day, the only way we know that's cancelled was a random reply tweet that has since been deleted. Green Lantern was also quietly scrapped, the only reason they mentioned it was to clarify that Lanterns is a separate thing), and DC's big announcement not including them, it seems very reasonable for us to assume that some of these "in development" projects are not actually in development, and I personally see no value in continuing to list all of these unless DC confirms one way or another what's going on with them, at this point I think all it's really doing is polluting the page. So, should we just get rid of them? ShyKen (talk) 00:30, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I would think we should get rid of everything not announced by the new team or part of the Batman spin-offs. They cancelled all the Justice League Dark stuff when they pulled the plug on JJ's deal awhile back... Justice U is clearly not happening at the CW anymore.. and there hasn't been anything on the Val Zod project in awhile. Can always be added back if anything gets back into development but the new slate is the new slate. Spanneraol (talk) 01:17, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Gonna leave Justice U on there for now since David Ramsey has talked about the status of that recently (in October he said they were working on the second draft of a script, in December he gave a somewhat vague update about it still being in the works).

Upon further examination there is absolutely nothing actually tying Powerless to the Arrowverse. There's no overlap in cast/characters, Powerless has no crossovers or canon implications with other Arrowverse shows, or vice-versa. Can't even consider it Arrowverse-adjacent since it doesn't seem like it came up in any of the multiverse stuff. We should definitely remove that note. ShyKen (talk) 22:50, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Powerless series 

message: I finally got around to watching the Crisis on Infinite Earths Arrowverse crossover event and... I think we should remove some 'Arrowverse adjacent' tags from a few things. 60's Batman is merely implied. Wonder Woman's only in a tie-in comic (tie-in comics tend to be ambiguous on canon, but either way that connection is beyond the scope of this article IMO). Birds of Prey is a brief cameo that establishes no connection. Swamp Thing isn't even a proper cameo, it's just archival footage.
The only ones that I think should still qualify are ones where characters directly interact with Arrowverse characters and/or have some kind of actual plot relevance beyond just a cameo appearance, in a television series specifically. I don't think it's useful or valuable to readers of this article to treat every multiverse cameo across every medium as meaningful connecting tissue between otherwise entirely unrelated franchises, especially when there's already an article dedicating to listing these connections.
