"Batman will not make a cameo on Arrow. CW President Mark Pedowitz has denied rumours that the conclusion of Christopher Nolan&amp;#039;s Dark Knight trilogy has paved the way for a different live action portrayal of the iconic superhero.   He also said that there were no plans for a Batman television show when asked about the possibility during the Television Critics Association&amp;#039;s winter press tour. &amp;quot;At this time, no,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;And regarding your next question, regarding is Batman going to make a trip to [Arrow&amp;#039;s] Starling City, they&amp;#039;re not in the same state.&amp;quot; It is widely understood that Nolan refused to let Batman appear in Smallville, whose ten seasons largely overlapped his work on the movie franchise. The character has since appeared in the digital first Smallville Season 11 comic. Arrow has featured cameos from DC Comics characters including Huntress and Deathstroke.
