Justice League Movie: 10 Big Questions We Have

7. Will The TV Universe Be Connected?

Warner Bros. isn't just finally bringing their characters to the big screen; they're making big pushes to get them on small screens as well. Arrow, starring Stephen Amell as the emerald archer, has become very popular and is nearly through its second season, with a season-three renewal already announced. In the Fall, that show is spinning off into a Flash series, starring Grant Gustin as Barry Allen. While Green Arrow and the Flash are busy over on the CW, a Jim Gordon-centric Gotham series is in development at Fox, while Constantine is headed to NBC. While those shows probably aren't connected to one another, the big question on our minds is how any of them tie into the greater film universe. Stephen Amell has talked several times about his desire in joining the Justice League, and the approach to that character could easily fit within the new DCCU. The Flash is probably the wildcard there, because while Stephen Amell could transition to the big screen, it's unclear whether or not Grant Gustin would. He may suit the character fine on a weekly television show, but for a JLA movie and future Flash solo films, Warner Bros. probably wants a bigger movie star to play the scarlet speedster. Judging by what we've heard so far, Gotham won't be connected either, and would likely be too problematic to figure out. Since that show is an origin story, and one not centered on Batman, it's doubtful that WB would want to try and balance the things going on in that series with what's happening in the films. That leaves Constantine. While his character could easily fit into the larger universe someday, it's simply too early to tell if it would be viable. We haven't seen anything from the series so far, and have no idea what tone/approach it will take. Plus, there's Guillermo del Toro's Justice League Dark still in the works, so we'll have to see if that materializes first before we start hedging our bets.
