How many more superhero TV shows can The CW handle? According to CBR, the network won’t air more than four comic book series at a time.

Currently, The CW airs five DC series, including Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and the newly premiered Black Lightning. But is five too much? Is there a limit to how many superhero shows one network can air?

It turns out there it. Recently, The CW boss Mark Pedowitz announced the network won’t air more than four superhero series at one time. No need to worry, though. This doesn’t mean any current series are being cancelled right away or there isn’t the possibility for more superhero series in the future.

From Pedowitz:

The audience will tell you when the fatigue has set in. If you have a quality show or a fun show, the audience will stay with it.”

What do you think? Do you watch a lot of superhero TV shows? Do you think there are too many?

Not happy with this arrangement. Dc legends of tomorrow was doing well after the flash. The Monday 9pm time slot is free why not have supergirl on at 8pm Monday, Black Lightning on at 9pm Monday, The flash on at 8pm Tuesday, Dc legends of tomorrow at 9pm Tuesday then continue to have arrow on wednesdays?

Supergirl is soooooooo bad that made me wanna write about it! I hate all that cheesy and girly stuff! I don’t care much about the awful acting but the lack of imagination and that terrible script are off the limits! I get that they can’t have Superman in every single episode but where is he now when an evil Kryptonian is around? Especially when supergirl failed and almost died… And how was she beaten by reign? I mean she just now got her powers… And how these powers aren’t affected by the blue sun on that solar system they went… Read more »

I still watch Arrow and Supergirl. Black Lightning doesn’t interest me although I heard it’s good so far. I stopped watching the Flash because it started to bore me and I never got into Legends either.

Maybe CW should cancel Black Lighting after one season and then let him be part of the Arrowverse. Why not? When NBC cancelled Constantine after one season, they made John Constantine part of the Arrowverse. Now, they can do the same thing with Black Lighting. Renew Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow for next seasons, please.

Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow all great shows!! Great when the 3 shows get connected sometimes. Definitely not too many DC series. Great to see series where good always win over evil and people doing the right thing. Please don’t
cancel any of these.

Of course there isn’t to many. There superhero’s they inspire people their can never be too many. I love that there all connected like a big family. I love ARROW and flash, legends there all amazing. Keep this family alive and renew them all. There is never to many people making our lives better and doing the right things. If anything they need to go on longer so more people can see and learn to love the DC family as much as I do.

I love all the superhero shows on the CW. But in my opinion I think they need access to the 10:00 slot like the other channels so they can put more shows on.
