The Flash season 9, the show's final, recently confirmed the existence of the Arrowverse's Justice League, but it was too little too late.
The Flash just confirmed the Arrowverse's Justice League to exist, but the reveal comes a little too late for the DC universe at The CW. The Arrowverse has been the home for many heroes over the years, with Stephen Amell's Green Arrow, Grant Gustin's The Flash, and Melissa Benoist's Supergirl being the universe's golden trio. The shared TV DC universe grew popular over the years due to how its heroes would cross over to each other's shows for an episode or two, as well as the yearly crossover events that brought the entire Arrowverse together. It was during one of those crossover events that the Arrowverse's Justice League was founded.
December 2019 and January 2020 marked the time the Arrowverse saw its most ambitious crossover event come to life. "Crisis on Infinite Earths" brought together the Arrowverse's most important heroes but also managed to bring out some beloved characters from past DC shows and movies, such as Tom Welling's Clark Kent from Smallville and Brandon Routh's Man of Steel from Superman Returns. At the end of the crossover, a group of the Arrowverse's premiere heroes formed at the Hall of Justice to found a new team, although that tease had gone nowhere, until now, with The Flash season 9 confirming the Justice League. However, it is too little too late.
Crisis on Infinite Earths saw the foundation of a team of some of the Arrowverse's elite heroes, which consisted of Martian Manhunter, Batwoman, White Canary, Supergirl, Black Lightning, Superman, and The Flash. The creation of the super team, still unnamed during the crossover, happened at an abandoned hangar that would later officially become the Arrowverse's Hall of Justice. The heroes also united at a round table which included chairs with each hero's logo, as well as a golden star right at the center. It was the Arrowverse's Justice League in all but name, which The Flash season 9 has now confirmed.
The Flash season 9, episode 7 — "Wildest Dreams" — finally confirmed that the Arrowverse's new hero team was the Justice League. After mentions of past off-screen adventures of the team and confirmation of the group's base of operations being the Hall of Justice over the last couple of seasons of the Arrowverse shows, The Flash's final season finally named the team. It was fitting that the moment came in another crossover, as Supergirl hero Dreamer came to Central City. Both Dreamer and Iris West-Allen were trapped in the Dreaming — the Dream Realm — and Barry said he would "call the League" to figure out how to wake them up.
