Warner Bros. has recently been acquired by Discovery and renamed Warner Brothers Discovery. With new owners at the helm, fans are expecting to see some big changes for Warner Bros.

The Arrowverse started back in in 2012 when Arrow premiered on The CW. Since then, the interconnected TV universe has rapidly grown, continually adding new shows and heroes

[{"selector":"#anim-eee225fd-d2a1-452e-a7bc-85bcb414a5af [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-7.105427357601002e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-409f3f7d-604b-4329-99c1-9838c2078ebd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0497b9cd-be18-47bd-bace-5a71bde48827","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.60510%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

At one point the Arrowverse spanned at least six shows and included countless heroes. After the shows adapted Crisis on Infinite Earths and Arrow came to an end

[{"selector":"#anim-aeb4dcca-80b0-46c0-b443-22aef316f707 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, -0.000001061893208031961%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ecd1ca23-ec13-4094-967b-ca3f39dfdffd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.18987%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-84c813eb-7040-427c-a773-293177a09c75","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Arrowverse has been slowly eroding for a couple of years. Supergirl ended, The Flash is rumored to be getting a shortened final season, and Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow have yet to be renewed.

While there is still a big fan base for the shows, it's becoming harder and harder to continue with their storytelling formula.
