And also all four of those shows are by the same man (Greg Berlanti), so inevitably they're going to have similar voices. It's not even a mixture of wildly different superhero shows like for example Gotham to go with The Flash, or Jessica Jones to go with Supergirl
It does make financial sense though, so I suppose we can't argue with that :( It's ironic looking because though because Smallville used to get fantastic ratings for the CW, especially when they had big event episodes with other superheroes, but they never had any time for that show. They moved it to Friday's, they refused to spin-off Arrow or Supergirl with the SV characters, back then they only valued the female demo and couldn't care less about SV's higher ratings...
And I've heard spec that they keep JTV and CEG because they're the only shows that bring them critical acclaim and golden globes, as opposed to their supernatural shows rarely getting awards recognition. It doesn't look like they're planning on investing in CEG long-term though if it's been moved to Friday nights?
