Here’s my unsolicited take on the Arrowverse, and why I’m not feeling Berlanti as the Feige of DC. This is all my subjective opinion of course, but I don’t think the Arrowverse is very good at all. I don’t think putting Berlanti in charge of DC films and giving him bigger budgets is going to fix the problems his work has.
Arrow - first 2 seasons are good, the rest is mostly unwatchable and super repetitive. So many filler episodes.
The Flash - the first season is the best thing in the whole Arrowverse; it’s awesome! Season 2 is good, the rest is mostly unwatchable. Chris Klein’s Cicada is the cringiest villain performance in any superhero show or movie.
Legends of Tomorrow - unwatchable, but I get why people like it. It doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not.
Batwoman - unwatchable, probably the worst show in the Arrowverse, a disgrace to the Batman IP.
Supergirl - unwatchable, so much potential wasted. Filled with great characters but brought down by a serious lack of quality writing, CGI, and acting.
Black Lightning - unwatchable, I couldn’t get into these characters or the story. Black Lightning needs the rest of the Outsiders, I don’t find him very interesting on his own.
Titans - features some of my favorite characters ever, but suffers from terrible writing. The costumes are excellent and most of the actors are great in their roles. Titans is my favorite show Berlanti has produced, but not because of the show itself- but the characters. My favorite character is Robin, so I feel like i have to somewhat enjoy it. There are moments of genuine greatness that are inevitably followed by crushing disappointments due to terrible writing.
Superman & Lois - first season is great, second season is good but a huge drop in quality. Too many episodes and not much happens. Give us better villains, what the ****?
The original Green Lantern script he helped write is one of the best things he’s done and actually gives me hope that he could do a decent job as DC’s Feige if that does indeed happen. They could do worse I suppose, but I think they can do better. I don’t have any suggestions, but based on Berlanti’s work on DC, I would prefer someone else.
