Well-nigh of the Arrowverse series suffered an understandable drop in quality during the COVID-xix pandemic, due to shooting delays and canceled crossovers that forced several long-running storylines to exist rewritten to accommodate the staggered schedule adopted by the CW for the 2020-2021 circulate year. Thankfully, the Fall 2021 flavor has seen the Arrowverse come up dorsum stronger than ever, with The Flash flavor viii return delivering a massive crossover issue dubbed Armageddon, which pitted Barry Allen in a race confronting time to prove his innocence on charges of destroying the World in the twelvemonth 2031.
