Another spin-off from the Arrowverse features time-traveling heroes and villains who team up to prevent temporal catastrophes. Its ensemble cast includes several characters introduced in Arrow and The Flash, making it a must-watch for fans of interconnected superhero sagas.

Though not part of the Arrowverse, Gotham offers a similarly dark and stylized origin story focused on the early days of Detective James Gordon and a young Bruce Wayne, along with the villains who made Gotham City infamous.

As part of the Arrowverse, Supergirl explores the adventures of Superman's cousin, Kara Zor-El. The show shares Arrow's commitment to complex characters and incorporates a mix of action, drama, and political commentary that will resonate with Arrow's audience.

Joining the Arrowverse, Batwoman steps into the void left by Batman and fights to protect Gotham City. With complex family dynamics, high-stakes action, and crossover events with other Arrowverse shows, it's a continuation of the formula that has engaged Arrow fans.
