In January 2022, there were various entertainment reports about the CW Television Network being put up for sale. While rumors are plentiful about the future of the network, this episode focuses on the shows based on DC Comics properties popularly known as the “Arrowverse.” Topics include: what happens to DC shows if the network is sold? Will all genre content migrate to streaming services? Some of the CW shows, notably Arrow and The Flash have had huge episode totals, 22-24 in a given season. Streaming services follow the BBC model of smaller episodes per season but are highly produced per episode. Is this where superhero content is all going? Will the Arrowverse live on? Or is this the final migration off of public television? Kyle Williamson of Fandom Spotlite joins the show to discuss the future of the CW and superhero shows on television.
