Hey kids i saw some random facebook page refer to Man Of Steel and all the follow films as Earth 1 and Flash and Arrow as Earth 2.
Now this is the first i'm hearing of it but i was wondering if WB or DC said anything regarding this making it official?

Pretty sure it was Geoff Johns that said it in an interview a few months back.Not sure if it was anything official/set in stone though.

Seems plausible as they have stated they are two separate universes. Although the tv side will have like 4 or 5 different universes or realms when Supergirl gets made.
DC has a ton of realities on the tv side.
Smallville
Arrow/The Flash
Gotham
Supergirl
Those are the four they have or will have, plus the movie universe. Lots goin' on.

If I read correctly, Constantine is cancelled so it doesn't matter. I agree with you, Gotham is terrible. But anyway, was just throwing my two cents into the discussion. If I were DC though, I would tie at least the Arrow/Flash Universe into the movies. But unfortunately they don't want to. At the same time though, that is okay with me because those two shows are better than the Superman movie that is restarting their universe was. As far as how it turns out in the future, I'll wait and see. |

On one hand it is very well written with the writers respecting the unique history of the show, and it is very hard to dislike anything that gives me more Chloe Sullivan. At the same time I read Smallville comics for things, well, Smallville. And Batman ain't Smallville. I would rather read about the characters from the show then seeing Clark interacting with brand new characters like Batman and Wonder Woman that seem to dominate the story when they show up. |

I think it's a decent show and I do think it has potential be something really good, they just try to cram way too much in to it. If they just focused on Bullock/Gordon and the Falcone/Maroni/Penguin story rather than putting Batman references left, right and center then I think it could be a great show. |

Gotham really is awful, it cant get the tone right, it cant work out what type of show its supposed to be. Is it a serious crime drama? Is it a superhero origin? is it the real world? is it a fantasy world where the impossible happen? It needs to make up its mind at this point i'd put it last on the DC tv shows list, I'd watch Birds Of Prey over Gotham |

Just have to wait and see if the Movies do well. I'd kill for some crisis on the big screen. Marvel's movies started catching my attention now so I'd love if both companies can flourish on the big screen for years to come. |

I get what you're saying though but I still enjoy the show. I do agree it needs to make up its mind on what kind of show it is because I do believe it can be good, it just needs to stick to one tone. Also, just to make it clear, I think it's the third best out of the current four DC shows, not of all time. Arrow and Flash are miles ahead of it and I just didn't like Constantine. |

I did enjoy it |

DC has a ton of realities on the tv side. Smallville Arrow/The Flash Gotham Supergirl Those are the four they have or will have, plus the movie universe. Lots goin' on. Smallville is a different universe, so is Gotham. It has been stated however that despite being on a different channel, Supergirl will be part of the Flash and Arrow universe. |

Barry, Iris, Vibe and Killer Frost are all beyond annoying characters. I can't stand to watch The Flash. |

Barry, Iris, Vibe and Killer Frost are all beyond annoying characters. I can't stand to watch The Flash. I'd argue that its very different to Arrow and that it tried to set up the that Barry really isnt like Ollie at all and it tries to bring the more light heart tone to Barry that hes known for in the comics. The kind of flash that would wave to passes by on the street and have a museum built for him once hes an established hero. Its still early days for that show. I hated the first season of Arrow and gave up on it within the first few episodes but everyone told me to stick it out after season 2 was out because it becomes a much better show which it totally did. I think that once Flash establishes the characters and the world more it will be a much better show but right now its really enjoyable. I think all the characters work well together so far but they still building that chemistry Gotham is just like shit thrown at a wall each week trying to see what sticks and nothing is carried through to the end before throwing something else in so that nothing really has the chance to works and after the whole ridiculousness of the balloon man and the hypnotist episodes with the constant sacrificing of story to cram in more batman villains pointless cameos its really hard to get anything out of Gotham |
