The summer TCA press tour is in full swing, and today CW President Mark Pedowitz confirmed there have been discussions about the television universe crossing over with Warner Bros/DC films. “We occasionally speak to the studio” Pedowitz said, but nothing has been decided obviously and Pedowitz added “That’s up to the studio.”
This is the first official confirmation, from any source related to the DC properties, that any kind of solid discussions have taken place regarding an Arrow and The Flash tie-in. This by no means confirms that the characters will crossover into the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice universe, but how cool would it be if that became a reality for the Zack Snyder Justice League film?
One of the biggest factors would have to be a successful launch of The Flash over on the CW Network. Without that show having similar success to its counterpart show Arrow, any ties to the film franchises are out the window. We’ve seen the pilot for The Flash though, and can say with a good amount of confidence that fans are going to at least really dig the pilot episode.
Stay tuned to NerdRep.com for even more coverage of The Flash and Arrow next week when we’re on-site with interviews and breaking news from Comic-Con 2014.

[UPDATE] Apparently Geoff Johns heard the rumblings this news was bringing to the internets and quickly took to the press at the TCA tour with a rebuttle: “It’s a separate universe than film so that the filmmakers can tell the story that’s best for film,” Johns said. “While we explore something different in a different corner of the DC universe.” For the full explanation as well as news about other characters that may come to the DC-TV Universe, check out the article over at IGN.
