Arrowverse

Arrowverse (after Arrow , the first series of the multiverse) is an informal name for a franchise about the fictional multiverse of DC Comics , which are connected to each other by basic plot elements and locations, the cast and the characters . Sometimes the franchise is also referred to as the Flarrowverse ( Arrow and The Flash , the second series in the Multiverse). The franchise is a series of superhero series produced by DC Entertainment based on characters from DC Comics , but independent of the comic universe.

The Arrowverse includes several universes in which the main plot of the series takes place. The universes are accessible from others through a wormhole . In the episode Willkommen auf Erde Zwei ( OT : Welcome to Earth-2 ) of the series The Flash you can also see a picture of the Flash from the series Flash - The Red Lightning . In addition to the seven real series so far, there are two animated web series with Vixen and Freedom Fighters: The Ray . Initially adopted as part of the Arrowverse, the animated web series Constantine: City of Demons was later announced as a complement to the Justice League Dark movie . For some of the series, comic stories were also published (as of August 2019).
