The Goodwinverse is an American superhero media franchise and shared universe that is centered on verious interconnected television series based on DC Comics superhero characters, primarily airing on The CW as well as Netflix. The series were developed by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg, Geoff Johns, Ali Adler, Phil Klemmer, Salim Akil, Caroline Dries, and Freddie Goodwin. Set in a shared fictional multiverse much like the DC Universe and DC Multiverse in comic books, it was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast and characters that spans across two currently live-action television series.
The franchise began with The Flash and was followed by Iron Man.
The franchise connects to one another using crossovers with each series. The first crossover was during 2024 with Iron Man and The Flash. The crossover sees the return of the characters from the series The Flash that concluded in 2023, shortly before the premiere of The Flash. The franchise has been successful, creating a large fandom around the world, and has received positive reviews; critics have praised the themes, acting, action sequences, direction and character development.
It has been confirmed by multiple people from the development team behind the Goodwinverse that it will be the "biggest and longest" running franchise ever only to have television series as its content. A film was orignally planned to be released in 2025, but was cancelled due to its inconsistancy with the series that created the universe.
A sequel series to The Flash was announced to be in very-early stages of development.
