Green Arrow and The Flash aren’t saving the world on a weekly basis, but concentrating on battling crime in a single city, which leaves room for the introduction of interesting secondary characters and the exploration of both their human side and alter-egos. The individual shows have been allowed to bounce off one another, all the while encouraging viewers to watch the entire offering, providing something different through each title.Īlthough it’s not connected to this corner of the DC universe, Gotham is also using the small screen to explore a secondary Batman character (detective James Gordon before he was Commissioner Gordon) in a more traditional cop procedural manner, while foreshadowing the dark nights we know are coming. The spin-off shows weren’t pre-planned extensions of a singular idea, but an organic growth of a shared universe.
The difference has been that, on television, DC isn’t trying to ape the size and scale set out by Marvel, and its characters come out all the better for it.
