Every Arrowverse Pilot Episode, Ranked

The Arrowverse made a huge mark on the superhero landscape. Everything started with Arrow in 2012, The CW and Greg Berlanti took a risk by introducing a different kind of hero, whose dark actions were questionable but the instant fan connection wasn't. They capitalized on Arrow's popularity by making shows like The Flash and Supergirl.
At its height, the Arrowverse had six live-action television shows running on The CW. Each year they would run huge crossover events that garnered massive amounts of interest, even from superhero fans who didn't consistently watch all the shows. However, the Arrowverse shows had to start from somewhere, which is why pilot episodes are extremely important to get right.
