Trivia

While DC Extended Universe films is not impacted by The CW's Arrowverse, Ezra Miller's version of Barry Allen did make a brief appearance during the fourth part of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event.
Originally Green Lantern was to serve as the start of the DC Extended Universe, however due to the poor box office and critical reception the film was scrapped from canon.
