Notes

• Some episodes are intentionally out of order (sometimes being very far off from where one would expect them to be) — shows where this is the case are Wonder Woman, Lucifer, The Flash (1990), Supergirl, Titans et al.
  If you still think I made a mistake while porting the list on thecomicboard.com to Trakt, feel free to leave a comment;
• One should watch the Special Edition of Superman (1978);
• Vixen: The Movie (2017) should be watched in two parts; the first five(/four?) chapters take place on the spot where I placed it (so between Arrow 3x08 and The Flash 1x09) and the remaining chapters take place between Supergirl 1x04 and Arrow 4x07;
• One should watch the Extended Cut of Suicide Squad (2016);
• One should watch the Extended Cut of Green Lantern (2011);

Includes: Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, Batwoman and Superman & Louis.

LATEST UPDATE: 20 MAR 2021

This is a chronological watching order of al series episodes and specials of the CW Arrowverse. Shows, movies and specials that are added to the multiverse during the "Crisis on Infinte Earths" crossover but have only a brief appearance are not included.

Based on koomy's list from IMDb with some additions: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls074499769/

Contains the following shows: Arrow, The Flash, Vixen, Constantine, DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl (for now, more will be added as they are released).

Comments are welcome in order to make this list the most accurate possible.

• "Arrow: Blood Rush" is actually a BOSE commercial in six parts lasting about six minutes in total (available on Youtube). While they are not really mandatory, they should be watched between episode 5 and 6 of season 2.

• "The Flash: Chronicles of Cisco" is a four part short also available on Youtube, not mandatory.

• Constantine: Episodes can be slotted in at will as long as you watch them before S04E05 of Arrow. They're not mandatory as the show is somewhat inachieved but you might enjoy the character. Update: An animated series being planned, the story might continue from where the show stopped.

• DC's Legends of Tomorrow: I included the first special episode before the first episode because this special kinda introduce the show explaining where the characters are from (in a "making-of" style) whitout much spoilers while managing to refresh our memory about them.

• Supergirl: Episodes can be slotted in at will until S01E17 (included) as long as they're seen before Arrow S04E19. Episode 18 is the first time Supergirl get to meet a character from the Arrowverse (The Flash).
Side note: For Season 1, you may encounter a wrong episode order depending on the sources (only some, I didn't meet this problem): the right order would then be 1-2-3-5-4-6 to end, but it is not a big deal as it actually doesn't change much.

• "Freedom Fighters: The Ray" will be integrated as soon as we have informations about it.

• "Constantine" (Planned animated series) will come up at some point, it might continue the story from where the TV show stopped it, more news to come.

THIS LIST WILL BE UPDATED PERIODICALLY. (Last update: 2017-03-09)
