Lost it's way towards the end. It's as if they ran out of storyline.. If you're going to ask about Supergirl and the Flash next? The Flash is my favourite superhero show on TV, but Supergirl? First season was great, second was OK and it's been going downhill ever since.

I think you misspelled 'Batman', because this show was really Batman. Sure, he was named Oliver Queen and shot arrows, but it was their attempt to do Batman without using the Batman character which Warner didn't want to be used in TV because they think having TV and movies about the same character confuses people.
I thought the show was okay. It was trying to be dark and gritty, but didn't really commit to it after the first season. Then it tried to be funnier and more upbeat, but didn't commit to it. They wasted alot of time on side characters that nobody cared about like Laurel and the three nitwits the last few seasons.
I particularly think the show was hurt by being connected to the other shows. It's like, if Oliver was friends with Flash and Supergirl, why didn't he ever call them for help? They could resolve any of these fights in milliseconds. I know the real answer is that would make for bad TV, but it felt dishonest to suggest that he would go to all these ex-villains for help...but not Barry or Kara. Or that he was in dire situations where he couldn't beat some bad guy...and he didn't call for help. It sort of made everything feel less pressing to me.
Ultimately I think it was okay, but nothing amazing.
