The Arrowverse has produced some incredible female heroes over the years, but which of these incredible ladies deserve their own spin-off series?

The Arrowverse has been a staple of the live-action comic book landscape for almost a decade now. The CW’s shared universe of superheroes got its start when Arrow debuted back in 2012, with Oliver Queen’s adventures soon paving the way for a multitude of DC heroes to take up residence on the small screen.

With Arrow came offshoots The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, Batwoman, Superman and Lois and Arrowverse-adjacent shows like DC’s Stargirl and Naomi. The impact of this universe is clear, and one of the biggest areas of growth the live-action superhero world has seen following its expansion is the amount of female superheroes on TV and, by extension, the amount of female-led superhero properties.

Will the Arrowverse produce anymore female-led spin-offs?

The Arrowverse will continue to grow in the years ahead. We have a new spin-off series in the works and another DC-based standalone adventure on the horizon too, so there is life in this property yet. And with that, we hope to see more female-led adventures.

On that note, in honor of Women’s History Month, let’s take a look back at some of the Arrowverse’s most beloved women superheroes (and even some anti-heroes) and discuss if they could lead their own spin-off show.
