The CW finally made a good decision and said No to something

very very sad about this I need my weekly dose of Black Canary

why CW hate the canaries

no wonder ... the premises were crap 😂🙈

Terrible decision TheCW

ok now cancel the whole arrowverse please

While I didn't see any potential in the show, sad for the crew.

Would’ve liked to have seen this. Really bummed it didn’t happened, because that just means the last 2 Seasons of Arrow wasted time setting up a spin off that didn’t even happen. ArrowSeason9

Hate it for the cast, kinda wanted to see what direction it was gonna go

efmovie

Hopefully Geoff johns is fired asap

😔
