Det amerikanske netværk The CW formede for cirka 10 år siden hele deres identitet omkring superhelte, og lancerede da også et relativt succesfuldt såkaldt "Arrowverse" baseret omkring tv-serien Arrow, efterfulgt af The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow og mange, mange flere programmer.
Men de bliver nu alle skrottet, og netværket har samlet set besluttet sig for at droppe superheltene fremadrettet. I et interview med The Hollywood Reporter fortæller CW's Brad Schwartz, at disse programmer har "had their time":
"They were the hallmarks of The CW for a long time. As we look forward and try to make this network bigger and profitable, frankly, as much as we all love those shows and they had their time, they're not working on linear. The young adult audience not making an appointment with broadcast today."
CW vil i stedet fokusere på at producere bredere shows fremadrettet.
