The DC TV Universe

Yesterday was me talking about the new Supergirl costume and even rambling on about the confusion that is the DC TV Universe, and that being there is too much inconsistency. I always felt it would be great to have a DC Movie Universe and a DC TV Universe, everything is consistant and in the same universe as others of the same medium. So let's take a look at the planned shows in the DC  universe, we currently have Arrow, Flash, Gotham & Constantine, with iZombie and Supergirl in production, pilots ordered for Lucifer & Preacher and currently in development are shows for Static Shock, Teen Titans, Krypton, DMZ & Scalped...oh and another spin-off for Arrow, this time for Atom...that's 14 shows planned to be released all on different networks, and only 3 of them taking place in the same universe. Now look, chances of seeing all of these come to the small screen is unlikely, i wouldn't put too much money on seeing Lucifer, Krypton, Preacher, DMZ, Static Shock or Scalped, people don't seem to realise how hard it is to get a show on television, first you have to get approved for pilot, then get approved for 13 episodes, then a series and then if you did well enough, get renewed for a second season, chances of a hit are slim, chances of all of these shows getting made, non-existant. So look, here's my suggestions for how to keep these shows connected without feeling like you're flooding the market.

First of all, put Supergirl and Teen Titans in the same universe as Arrow & Flash. Supergirl has the same production team behind Arrow & Flash so it makes sense to have them together, and Arrow has Arsenal, a pretty big member of the Teen Titans so they could definitely fit together, also that way maybe you can get Static Shock in there. Also of course the Ray Palmer show is going to take place in the Arrow universe, and i think it's gonna be awesome. Even though I love the two detectives in Gotham, the show needs to be canned because it's just going to be confusing audiences, it's a prequel, we can't have any Batman characters in the other shows as long as that Gotham is around, besides, is anyone really a big fan of Gotham? Constantine is perfectly fine off doing it's own thing, it's not interfering with anything, but then again maybe crossover with Arrow would help it's ratings out. Everything else gets scrapped, we don't need them, they're just going to confuse things and make the medium over saturated.

So in my universe we have: Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, Atom, Teen Titans, Static Shock and Constantine.

Will it actually go down like this? Highly unlikely, but it would be a lot better personally, more organised, more consistancy and easier to follow.
