Recommended order: "Rank,Asc" - the recommended order is based on each episodes release date with some minor restructuring to allow for back to back viewing of multi-part episodes.

2023 update: - Superman and Lois up to date. Currently no news regarding season 4.

Included

  • Arrow (concluded)
  • Batwoman (canceled)
  • Black Lightning (concluded)
  • Constantine (canceled)
  • DC's Legends of Tomorrow (canceled)
  • The Flash (concluded)
  • Supergirl (concluded)
  • Superman & Lois (Season 04 has been teased by Elizabeth Tulloch)
  • Justice U (CW officially passed on the show)
  • Constantine: City of Demons (concluded)
  • Vixen (concluded)
  • Freedom Fighters: The Ray (concluded)

TBA
- The Flash 1990 (Earth-90) will be added to the list soon It has been a while and I honestly can't decide, there doesn't seem to be a good place to add this series and may be better off not being included in the list.

I intend to include this series at some point but the issue I'm having is figuring out where in the episode order it should be placed since the series is based on Earth-1 and not Earth-90, which means we can't place those episodes at the start, currently thinking maybe before crisis since thats when Earth-90s Flash makes an appearance.

Episode I changed for back to back viewing:

  • Legends of Tomorrow

    • S01E01-E02 Pilot Part 1 and 2
  • Supergirl

    • S04E09 Elseworlds crossovers
    • S05E11-E12 Back From The Future Part 1 and 2
  • The Flash

    • S07E10-E11 Family Matters Part 1 and 2
    • S07E17-E18 Heart of the Matter Part 1 and 2
    • S08E01-E05 Armageddon Part 1 - 5
    • S08E19-E20 Negative Part 1 and 2

Missing? if it doesn't meet 1/3 of the following criteria then it's not officially part of the Arrowverse.
- The character has to make an appearance (not a cameo).
- There must be some sort of a connection between the shows.
- The creator announces that it's official.
The Crisis event was filled with Cameo's which is why those shows are not techncally part of the Arrowverse. For example. Black Lightning wouldn't have been part of the Arroweverse if he didn't appear in Armageddon, up until that point the CW Chief, President, Exec Producer and Producer all publically stated that the series was not part of the Arrowverse.

Episode order based on the following sources;

Some episodes that appear on this list might not show on the above sources, trakt gets the data before they do so I intend to just add based on airdate shown by trakt and if needed I'll re-organise if I feel its necessary.

Are you a Marvel connoisseur too? Then I’ve got you covered; here’s my Trakt port of a chronological list for the Marvel Cinematic Universe: https://trakt.tv/users/nidunc/lists/marvel-cinematic-universe-viewing-order-according-to-mythbank?sort=rank,asc


Not included (besides all the comics and other written material, obviously) ...


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);
