As Marvel and DC pull their superheroes off rival networks, it's time The CW and Netflix looked elsewhere for tomorrow's heroes

Who needs DC and Marvel when you've got a wealth of characters and content in Image Comics and Dark Horse Comic

The CW has an enviable stable of superhero hit shows on its network, and was one of the first to tie up major DC universe characters together through the sheer amount of amazing superhero crossovers on their shows.

'Arrow' was the first superhero show which started it all for CW, and since then, there have been a whopping 11 seasons of DC superhero series that have aired on the network so far.

But it looks like CW's run with superhero iterations may have hit a roadblock, given that Disney and DC Comics have either started or plan to start their own streaming networks to exclusively stream shows set in their respective universes.

While CW still has a multi-year contract with DC for previous seasons of superhero shows like 'Arrow' and 'The Flash', all the latest seasons and new releases will air exclusively on the DC Universe site.
