The Arrowverse and the DCEU's respective versions of Superman team up in an epic Multiverse fan poster. One of the DC Comics heroes that has been portrayed the most in live-action is Superman, having appeared in numerous TV shows and movies over the years. When it comes to the big screen, Henry Cavill is currently the Superman of the DCEU as he returned to the interconnected franchise in Black Adam for a special cameo. Following the film's release, Cavill confirmed that this is just the beginning of his new Superman chapter.
While Cavill is representing Superman in the cinematic universe, Tyler Hoechlin is donning the suit over on Superman & Lois as part of The CW's Arrowverse. After portraying Krypton's last son as a recurring guest on Supergirl, Hoechlin got his own Arrowverse series, which was initially eyed to take place on Earth-Prime. But Superman & Lois season 2 revealed that the DC drama actually takes place on a different Earth in the Arrowverse. While the Arrowverse lost several shows this year, Superman & Lois season 3 is currently in production and is expected to premiere sometime in 2023.
Even though Warner Bros. Discovery may not have any plans for the current versions of Supermen to come together, a talented fan artist, who posts under the handle Art of Time Travel, is pitching the perfect Multiverse crossover. The designer shared a stunning Arrowverse/DCEU poster on Instagram featuring Cavill and Hoechlin's respective iterations of Superman alongside Brandon Routh's incarnation, who is also meant to be Christopher Reeve's take on the DC icon. Check out the poster below:
A Superman Crossover Is Actually Possible Thanks To Arrowverse's Crisis
While the DCEU and the Arrowverse tend to stand on their own as franchises, the door is actually open for a potential Superman crossover. Between December 2019 and January 2020, The CW did its own take on Crisis on Infinite Earths, which served as a massive game-changer for the Arrowverse. During the multi-part event, the DCEU and the Arrowverse actually crossed paths as Grant Gustin and Ezra Miller's respective versions of The Flash shared the screen for the very first time. Not only did it become one of the biggest moments in the whole crossover, but it broke a barrier that now allows the Arrowverse and the DCEU to do similar crossovers, which could easily set up a triple team-up of Superman actors.
With multiple versions of Superman currently existing in live-action, a crossover featuring a group of them would be huge for DC media as a whole. Even though the Multiverse has been a big factor for the DCEU in the last few years, which will also pay off in The Flash movie, time will tell if that concept will be part of DC Studios, which launches on November 1. Hopefully, there will be a DC project where the Supermen of the Arrowverse and DCEU get to join forces in one way or another.
