Sell Batwoman’s UK broadcast rights to Sky


Sell Batwoman’s UK broadcast rights to Sky
The Issue
Sky broadcasts Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow. This is the Arrowverse, an interconnected multiverse of series that frequently cross over with each other. Last year, a new series joined the Arrowverse: Batwoman. Batwoman is an integral part of the Arrowverse with one of its episodes being part of this year’s crossover event, Crisis on Infinite Earths and presumably every other crossover event for years to come. Unfortunately, E4 purchased Batwoman’s UK broadcast rights before Sky could get their hands on them. This would be all well and good if E4 were to collaborate with Sky to collectively release episodes in the correct order but that has not happened and will likely not happen next year either. While Sky finished releasing Arrow season 8, The Flash season 6, Supergirl season 5 and Legends of Tomorrow season 5 months ago, E4 has barely begun to release Batwoman’s first season, which is meant to be released concurrently. This makes Sky look bad because they can’t show crossover events in full anymore and it makes E4 look bad by causing this mess. It would mean so much to me and every other UK-based Arrowverse fan if you would help us show Nick Lee, Channel 4’s acquired series manager, that this omnishambles just won’t do.
