Warner Brothers has rights to everything because Warner Brothers owns DC, it has the rights to the Flash and Black Canary and Superman (proved by the fact that they are all in movies), but also Batman and Wonder Woman, but also the rights to Firestorm and Sara Lance and Ray Palmer, WB/DC has had several weird rules about people being confused that are dumb but they can easily ignore them if they think they'll make more money, if they think that a completely hypothetical Birds of Prey show is worth it/different enough they'll let it exist.

And on the idea from awhile ago that Arrow was forced to end by a butthurt DCAU, thats ridiculous. It is time for it to end, Stephen is sad because he's spent seven years of his life on this and loves doing it. I'm usually sad ending community plays and I only devote six weeks to those. Also the Arrowverse is not watched by anything remotely close to the DCAU, the people who watch them like them more, take a look at ticket sales for DCAU (besides JL) and then look at the viewer numbers for the Arrowverse, while it is amazing on the CW, you have different needs on a TV network (especially one that's job is to make it to syndication) than a big-budget blockbuster.
