The appeal of a shared comic book universe is obvious: buy a movie ticket, or turn the channel to your favorite comic book story on TV, and squeal with delight at the mention of another hero’s city, adventures, or simply their name. Recently, fans have praised Marvel’s Daredevil series for hinging its plot on the fallout of The Avengers‘ big screen debut. Meanwhile, The CW has sent the cast of The Flash and Arrow back and forth (and joining forces in crossover events); however the divide between DC Comics’ movie and TV universes means their hands are undeniably tied.
Yet we have to wonder: will the split between the DC Movie Universe and its TV counterpart(s) prove to be as much of a problem as some fans fear it to be, or are there benefits fans have yet to consider?
