So, tonight from the Television Critics Association summer press tour we’ve already learned that Kevin Conroy was set to play an old Bruce Wayne in The CW’s Arrowverse crossover, Crisis in Infinite Earths, along with Black Lightning also finally crossing over.
And now, a third very cool big bit of news…
CW President Mark Pedowitz has revealed that they plan to extend The Arrowverse with another new show… which will debut in 2020/2021.
Now, personally, I figured that Arrow would continue with a new cast as Diggle’s son William and Oliver and Felicity’s daughter Mia seemed to be moving into the spotlight.
On this, he said: “Nothing’s ever 100 percent done. You learn that over time. There’s a possibility but we haven’t fully had a discussion of what that storyline would do”
Before adding: “Right now, we’re looking at another property for next season.”
Now, while Pedowitz gave no clues, I have an idea… could we be getting a Batman Beyond series?
Hear me out.
Batwoman has opened the Batman universe up to The CW’s Arrowverse and, if you recall, she debuted briefly during the last big crossover event, Elseworlds.
And who is cameoing this year? Conroy… as old Bruce Wayne, so, could it be? The CW has always seemed to have a problem with Batman coming into it but with Arrow’s last season taking place in the future, could it be a window to bring Terry Maginnis’ young Batman into the fold?
Beyond has been a fan favourite for the live-action treatment for a long time and this could be a great way to make it happen and seems to tick all the boxes.
Could be a costly series to produce though…
Thoughts?
