Covid-19 is delaying the Arrowverse shows until 2021

Oh, boy. Oh, boy! Ohhhh, boy!

So many new infos in one article! 

First of all: Arrowverse delayed. Eh. *shrug* Honestly, I'm fan of shows like Westworld, Sherlock, Rick and Morty or Homeland. I can live with long hiatuses! It's just kind of a bummer because of the current seasons remaining incomplete, but since the only Arrowverse show I really care for, Legends of Tomorrow, is already in the can, I'll manage. I am, however, massively relieved that they plan to finish up Supernatural by the end of the year, and I hope that they get to end it in the way they were planning to. Everything less would be a disaster in my book. 

Interesting - and pretty disappointing - info, though, on the new shows. So Superman & Lois has already been ordered, but Green Arrow and the Canaries not?!? Dafuq, people?? Seriously, Arrow basically ended with two cliffhangers up in the air to give that show a leg up and now they still haven't decided yet whether they're going through with it? Oh, come on! Don't make me go through a 'Most Wanted' experience all over again! (Okay, it wouldn't be quite as bad, but still... I want to see Mia and William and the Canaries again, damn it!) 


And last but not least: SWAMP THING ON THE CW!!!!!! Eeeeeeeeeekkkkk!!!!! 


At the very least that means a ton of new exposure for the fandom, the characters and the amazing cast and crew. Which means more people creating fanworks (more fanfic writers and readers! Yay!), plus getting all the talented people involved in the show back on the public radar! 
In the - unlikely, but still! - best case scenario this could even mean renewed chanced for the show's revival, should it attract enough of a following. Tons of 'ifs' and 'whens' for this scenario, I know, but well... hope dies last!  

I do wonder, though, how they'll actually fit the show into the CW schedule. They put it into the 7/8pm time slot, but not only are there a couple of scenes in the show that are far too gory to be shown that early, but a few episodes are also nearly an hour long. I guess it'll come down to extensive cuts, which is really a bummer imo. 

Either way, though, I am psyched!! And who knows, maybe somewhere down the road they will actually manage to bring Derek Mears' Swamp Thing and Matt Ryan's John Constantine together! Oh, boy. Oh, boy! Ohhhh, boy!

Let's see. We had a psychotic metahuman uncle and niece known as Cicada in The Flash season 5 and in season 6 Bloodwork and a female Mirror Master. As for Arrow, Ricardo Diaz, The Longbow Hunters, and The Ninth Circle were the main antagonists of season 7. Season 8 had the Anti-Monitor as the primary antagonist of both Arrow and Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. Supergirl seasons 4 and 5 had Lex Luther as the over-all main antagonists with the anti-alien hate group, Children of Liberty and Leviathan as secondary Antagonists. LoT's last two seasons dealt with the supernatural for the most part with John Constantine joining the crew. The demon, Mallus (aka Malice) was the main antagonists of season 4.  I'm not sure about what happened in season 5. 

We also had Batwoman premiering this year with Ruby Rose as Kate Kane/Batwoman, but she left the show after the first season due to her not being able to handle a heavy schedule that a weekly episodic show has. The main antagonist of the first season is Kate's sister, Beth Kane/Alice.

Crossovers were Elseworlds that involved Supergirl, Oliver Queen, and the Flash which also introduced Batwoman. The forementioned, Crisis on Infinite Earths was also a major crossover that pretty much merged Earth-1 (the Earth of Arrow/Flash/Batwoman/LoT) with Earth-38 (the Earth of Supergirl) and the Earth of Black Lightning.

Now is it worth catching up with it? Only if you already have a subscription to Netflix and HBO Max (where Batwoman is being streamed).
