13 Problems Nobody Wants To Admit About The DC Movie Universe

9. Separate TV & Movie Continuities Are Frustrating For Viewers

The Problem: While the Marvel Cinematic Universe has made it clear that their TV component, containing shows such as Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Daredevil, takes place within the same world as the movies, DC have opted to draw a clear line between their DCEU and their TV world, which features shows such as Arrow, Gotham, The Flash and the upcoming likes of Supergirl and Krypton. This creates an awkward disconnect with the viewer, especially because there will be two versions of The Flash soon enough, and considering how easily the movie and TV worlds could be joined together, it's disappointing that Warner have basically taken the lazier "deal with it" option. While comic book readers will be used to different interpretations of characters and various non-canonical events, moviegoers aren't so familiar with it and so may find it either confusing or annoying. After all, isn't it nice when everything tightly connects together? How To Fix It: Now that we're already committed to two versions of The Flash, there's not really much that can be done about this. It would be nice if future movies would perhaps hint at certain aspects of the TV continuity fitting in with the movies where possible, but in honesty, this one's pretty much past the point of no return now. The only way fans can fix it in their own minds is to deal with it and accept that this is how it's going to be.
