Yep, seems Flash needs Arrow's help in more ways than one.

Now if Constantine can cross over that would be epic.

The only comic shows I ever really got into were Batman (the 60s version), Wonder Woman (with Lynda Carter), Batman the animated series and Superman (the 40s cartoon show). I watched a few others here and there, notably Smallville for a little while, but they never really kept my interest.
I was always into the comics more than the movies or tv shows inspired by them. I used to read comics all the time. Not so much anymore. The last time I read comics was when I got into the Red Lantern Corps for a while.
With blood and rage of crimson red,
Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,
Together with our hellish hate,
We'll burn you all--That is your fate!

Hubby and I both love Arrow. We've been fans of it from the very beginning.
Flash is OK, the story behind the doctor is intriguing. Crossovers with Arrow are cool. It's more lighthearted than Arrow, makes a nice change.
Gotham.. meh, have started watching it and I am yet to be impressed.

Flash is severely lacking in the man candy department. In Arrow we've got Oliver, Diggle, Slade, Roy... Even Detective Lance is a DILF.
Flash leaves a lot to be desired. There's been only one good looking guy in it so far, and he was played by Stephen Amell's cousin!
I'm on week 5 or 6 of Gotham now and it's just boring. Young Penguin annoys the hell out of me, I wish that he had been killed off in the pilot, we've got Will smith's wife as a poor man's Eartha Kitt, each week we get a new villain who is more forgettable than the last, and the violence on the show seems like unintentional black humor. The only character I find engaging at all is the young Selina Kyle, which makes me think they probably should have done a Catwoman prequel series instead, but then that would have been laughed off due to the 2004 movie.

I think the black comedy is intentional for Gotham. Though I think it might be a bad direction for these type of shows to only be rated based on eattractiveness of actors 
I do thinkSelina Kyle does have a strong presence in the show and I think the writers are recognizing that.

I'm not ONLY basing it on the actors' looks, but that is a big part of the show's appeal. If you're gonna make a geeky superhero show, at least make it easy on the eyes.
Flash is a bit too full on with the geekyness, and that's one of the things that put me off Agents of Shield.

I know it is basically Fan Fiction Gotham being a "What if Gordon was the cop investigating the wayne murders"
But young Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle is the most adorable thing I have seen. The child actors seem pretty damn good.

I enjoy Flash. It's not perfect (especially since I am a massive Smallville fan), but it's definitely a watchable show. I'm keeping up with it, at least.

The kids playing young Bruce and Selina are very good. Shame all the adults suck.

Meh, to each their own.
So the closest I saw to the Flash was the crossover episode for Arrow... And I can't tell if he got carried by Arrow or what, but I wasn't groaning.
Hopefully Constantine gets a crossover episode as well. Because that would be crazy badass.

Interesting seeing Lesley-Ann Brandt playing the assassin chick on Gotham, while Cynthia Addai-Robbinson has been playing Amanda Waller on Arrow. Both actresses played Naevia in Spartacus.

Flash is growing on me now. I'm liking the characters more now than when they first started out, particularly Cisco who I found annoying at first, but his nerdy enthusiasm brings a lot of fun to the show, and he managed to stand out in the crossover episode of Arrow where he was surrounded by badass super heroes and vigilantes.
I got upset when a bunch of the cast were being held hostage by the Clock King, I didn't want any of them to get killed, so the show must be doing something right.

Back from the mid season breaks, Flash seems to be getting better than Arrow. Arrow seems to be slipping, with that weak finale to the Brick arc, and every character becoming a ninja after a few training sessions. Malcolm Merlyn was supposed to be training Oliver in his fight against the League of Assassins, and yet Merlyn got his ass kicked and captured by an assassin whom Oliver has beaten several times? Dunno what's going on there, but if they're not careful, Arrow really will become a show that people only tune into for the man candy.
Still waiting for Gotham to get better, but it's still a load of wank.
