The Arrowverse is made up of six broadcast shows and two web series, coming to a grand total of 40 seasons of television. But, the road to The Flash‘s finale has been filled with exciting, intense, and sometimes downright ludicrous crossover events-the kind only possible in comic book media.
Now, 11 years later, the final Arrowverse show left standing, The Flash, is coming to an end. And producer Marc Guggenheim recalled to Entertainment Weekly that, when Arrow first premiered, whenever they were asked if the show would introduce any other superheroes, their answer was always a resounding “no.” The Arrowverse’s mastermind, Greg Berlanti, has always said that each step in the growth of the Arrowverse was a surprise.
When Arrow first aired on the CW in 2012, no one thought it would grow into the Arrowverse.
