Superman and Louis Question

All of them, after Crisis on Infinite Earths in the 2019/20 crossover all the Arrowverse shows are based off of Earth-Prime their worlds have been combined into one new universe.

S&L though as of yet and we are up to E5 has not yet touched on any of the other shows actually existing in their universe, they recast a couple of characters like General Lane and Morgan Edge and refurbished the Fortress Of Solitude for this show.

So in theory everyone is on the same earth at this point, but Superman and Lois is being treated like it maybe a stand alone as of now.

Okay, so all the Arrow shows are now set in one universe.

What about all the previous serial, movie, and TV versions and current movie versions of DC characters, which were said to exist in parallel universes?

For example, I read that Burt Ward reprised his role as Dick Grayson in Crisis.

Plus, John Wesley Shipp reprised his role as the 1990s Barry Allen/The Flash in the crossover from a couple of years ago.

And what about the current DC movie universe?

The movie Flash (Ezra Miller) appeared in a cameo in the current Flash TV show during Crisis, and Michael Keaton's Batman is now part of the movie Flash's universe.

What about all those?

I'm not sure what is going on with that...

During Crisis, many past TV Show & Movie versions of our DC Characters over the last century were featured or referenced as having existed in Parallel Universes...

I thought that was really cool...

But, the Multiverse was destroyed, and was rebuilt with only a few of those universes still existing...

ALL of the CW shows, some of which took place in a few different universes were merged into what is now being called the CW-Verse. The Arrow-Verse as it was once called, no longer exists.

Think of it as each of the main cities with it's main characters from each show, being carved out, and placed into the CW-Verse.


Yeah, it's a bit confusing, and weird.


But, as I recall...

No alternate universe was depicted for "The movie Flash (Ezra Miller)", he just appeared in a speed force encounter with "the current Flash TV show" Flash... and had a cool moment where they shared ideas about being "The Flash" with each other... before they left the speed force.


I don't know if his universe was destroyed, or if it was recreated, or... If he came from some other Multiverse? Who know about that? This multiverse idea is complicated, and the writers can come up with even more crazy ideas, to suit their needs...


There was SO much going on in that crossover, that I can't remember if Michael Keaton's Batman was featured in it or not...


I think it is best, just to accept that things have changed... Cannon and Continuity, as we knew them, throughout the old multiverse (past TV Show & Movie versions) no longer exists, since Crisis... and Just accept the NEW, and what it is supposed to be now.


As far as I know...

The last that I heard, Superman & Lois were supposed to take place in the CW-Verse...

But I have yet to watch that show or follow anything that is supposed to be going on with it, since it was first announced...

So things may have changed.

You probably know more about it than I do...


But like I said, the old Multiverse, no longer exists...

So take that into account, when trying to understand what is going on now.


Crisis was cool for the TV Shows, but it has created a mess for the casual followers.


So, I don't think the Movies, are going to reference the CW-Verse, in any way, since many Movie fans, haven't been following the TV Shows...

Doing so, would just make watching the films too complicated....

The continuity and cannon that we saw up through Justice League, will probably still be used as the basis for future films...


However, with the different Director cuts, and with the possibility of studios wanting Reboots... That could change things too...
