- Start with Arrow. The best place to start your journey into the Arrowverse is with Arrow. We only have the Arrowverse because of this show, hence the name the ARROWverse.
- Next, Watch The Flash. By October of 2014, The CW now had two superhero shows on air: Arrow and The Flash. While Arrow was heading into its third season, The Flash was heading into its first.
- Then Watch Legends of Tomorrow. Here’s where the timeline gets a little crazy. In the Spring of 2015, while Arrow and The Flash were wrapping up their current seasons, The CW ordered a third show, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
- Keeping Up with the Crossovers. As I mentioned above, the plan was to give Legends of Tomorrow a backdoor pilot during the annual Flash/Arrow crossover.
- Arrow (Seasons 1 and 2) Given that the Arrowverse began with Arrow, it's fitting to start a rewatch with the Stephen Amell-led series. Arrow Season 1 introduced Oliver Queen as the hero who started it all while Season 2 featured the debut of Grant Gustin's Barry Allen, with one episode serving as the backdoor pilot for The Flash.
- The Flash (Season 1) The Flash Season 1 fleshed out the origin story of Barry Allen, introduced the Reverse Flash, and marked the first Arrowverse crossover between the Scarlet Speedster and the Green Arrow in Episode 8.
- Arrow (Season 3) Arrow Season 3 featured the debut of Ra's Al Ghul and continued the mini-crossover with The Flash in its eighth episode. Worlds collided again between the two shows through Barry's rescue mission to save Team Arrow in the opening moments of its finale.
- Constantine. Constantine introduced Matt Ryan's John Constantine in the shared universe. The character later played a major part in DC's Legends of Tomorrow and the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event (more on that later).
