Arrowverse / DC-CW Timeline (v 3.0)

Welling is huge, of course, but it'd be a shame if we didn't see the Smallville Green Arrow too--that was my introduction to the character.

If not, I guess we can just say he went to Earth-90 and got slaughtered. Remember that "cameo"?

Kidding!
 
If we got Justin Hartley back, assuming he's not too busy, I'd much rather him reprise his role as Aquaman from the unaired Mercy Reef pilot (which WB made available for purchase on YouTube.)

He could even be our Earth-1 Aquaman retroactively, since Mercy Reef was in no way connected to Smallville. o_O
 
Haha, I'd forgotten about Mercy Reef! That'd work for either Earth-1 or Earth-38, right? I say bring him back and have him play both roles.

Watched the first episode of Smallville today--I had forgotten until about five minutes in that I'd never actually seen it. I must have come in on episode 2 or 3. That show packs quite a nostalgic wallop--seeing the characters come back is going to be even better than I realized.

Because I'd never seen it, I also never knew that almost the first shot is Lionel Luther holding a newspaper with the headline "Queen CEO Goes Missing". They were setting Green Arrow up from day 1....

They actually tie-in to that in the Green Arrow prequel mini series to Smallville. Nice that it payed off, also cool how Clark and Oliver's timelines align.

Only the first 3 episodes are canon though because of a flashback that can't be reconciled.
 
Still not too late for some kind of reference--seems like they're open to anything. If they have some kind of hypertime-tunnel with clips from all the shows/movies, we'll be watching DC stuff till the end of time, lol.

"Couldn't make the dates work"

That could have some double meaning. The show taking place 200 or so years in the past would require time travel AND universe hopping, which would make for messy storytelling to explain.
 
I see that Birds of Prey has been added to Crisis, after years of teased DC show connections (I recall a reference to New Gotham on the Smallville Ledger site back in the day, and I think some footage even ended up in an Arrowverse promo video, of all things.) I held off on watching it back then to see if it ever crossed over with Smallville (in hindsight, this wouldn't have worked too well with either continuity) so I guess now's the time, lol. Think I'll go ahead and throw it in with Smallville Season 2 in the rewatch.

Theres a reference to meteors causing meta humans in the pilot, strangely. Pahaps it was intended to take place in the future of the Smallville universe, where the Justice League was established. I guess Season 11 makes that impossible now.

My head is spinning with all these previous shows and movies being added to the Arrowverse multiverse through COIE. Should I hold off on doing a watch of the entire Arrowverse until Crisis has aired? I wanted to start next week with the season premieres beginning soon, but everything is such a muddle right now I'm afraid of forgetting something.

Probably should wait. Depends on how much of a completionist you are.

I guess The Flash, Superman Returns, Smallville and Birds of Prey are the only confirmed additions, with Batman (1966) being a likely inclusion.

I was on Year 4 of the Arrowverse when Smallville was added, now I have to catch up on that show and Birds of Prey until I can continue from where I left off.
