With their New 52 line of comics/animated films in full swing, their CW television universe opening doors for lesser-known heroes, and their live action films starting to come into focus, DC looks like it's doing pretty well for itself. There's just one factor that stands in the way of calling it all a complete success: none of these universes link together. The films don't link into the TV shows, which don't connect to the comics completely, which don't even dream of taking into account the animated films going to DVD. The most cohesion seen in the DC camp is the New 52 comic reboot eventually lead to the animated film series reboot, with the spectacular film The Flashpoint Paradox leading the way. While people might not be in the tank completely for Agents of SHIELD at the moment (if ever), at least they can follow the storyline in the show and not have to create a separate flow chart on the living room wall to keep track of the feature films. The films tell the bigger story, while the TV shows and comics can tell smaller stories in the same universe. (The less said about Marvel's animated films, the better.) All of these fractured story tracks lead to a lot of confusion, and even more fan disappointment when they realize their favorite incarnation of their favorite TV hero will be recast for the big screen. Oh, and did we mention Gotham throwing a wrench into things by being a Fox show instead of a CW universe show? Consider that your warning.
