Now that very early cuts of the pilots are circulating to critics, I thought I'd start a catch-all thread for the the upcoming DC-based tv shows
Here are some advanced looks at all three shows courtesy of tv critic, Dan Fienberg.

I'm surprised that Gotham is getting such a positive response, since every preview I've seen for it makes it look pretty bad. The idea of a "Batman-Babies" tv series doesn't seem all that appealing to me, but I'll be happy if I'm proven wrong.
As for Constantine, it doesn't surprise me that it's getting a pretty tepid response. Not only are they following the in the footsteps of the awful feature film by mispronouncing his name, they're also depriving him of his cigarettes. Oh well, at least he's British this time.
Not many thoughts on The Flash, but if it's as entertaining as it's parent series, then I'll be happy.

Do we have start dates on all these series?
The Flash and Arrow season 3 will debut pretty close to each other, IIRC.
October 7 for The Flash.
October 8 for the Arrow season 3 premiere.
October 24 for Constantine.
As far as I know, Gotham's premiere hasn't been set yet, but the pilot is supposed to be screened at Comic-Con.

The Arrow episodes with The Flash in them will precede the Flash premiere in some fashion. I'd have to look up the details.
