While Geoff Johns confirmed that the DC Comics film and TV universes will not crossover, it sounds like both could be building to their own versions of the Justice League. In an interview with Collider, Arrow and The Flash Producer Andrew Kreisberg explained how the Justice League movie would impact which characters they can and cannot use on the TV side.

“There really aren’t that many characters that we’ve asked to use, that we haven’t gotten access to,” explained Kreisbeg. “Fortunately for us, with Arrow, we were able to bring on Deathstroke and The Huntress, and this year we have Katana. It was actually DC comics’ idea for us to use Ray Palmer/The Atom. On The Flash, with Geoff Johns, our partner, we’ve carved out this whole world of characters that we have access to.”

Kreisberg added, “There are the big ones that fit into the Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman mythos, but since we’re not using those characters, their subsidiary characters don’t really feel necessary to us. We never feel like we’re confined. We’re more impressed that we get to play with as many characters as we do. By the end of this season, on both shows, we’ll have Green Arrow, Black Canary, Katana, The Atom, Firestorm and The Flash. We’ve got a pretty good chunk of the Justice League, on both shows. We never look at ourselves as limited.”

In the comic books, there have often been multiple Justice League teams operating at the same time. Could it be that film universe will have a Justice League with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Green Lantern, while the TV universe has their own Justice League with Green Arrow, Flash, Atom, Firestorm, Black Canary, and Katana?
