This is a brief overview of the format and how I would implement the series to include brief storyline ideas No Fan Cast yet as this is a large cast but characters that have appeared in Arrow, Supergirl, DC Legends, and The Flash will be of the same actor or actress in my version as well.

Let's Begin

After a few rough tries at crime fighting Bruce changes his outfit into a cape and cowl in the shape of a bat, the animal he fears and soon garners the name The Batman. He uncovers a connection with Gotham's high level officials and the mob and tries to bring to light the connections and put a dent into the mob. He gains an ally with Harvey Dent and Det. Gordon but Commissioner Leob who is connected to the mob wants the vigilante caught.

However, something goes horribly wrong during the public unveiling, and when the devastating explosion causes a freak storm, many lives are lost and Barry is struck by lightning. After nine months in a coma, Barry awakens to find his life has changed once again - the accident has given him the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only "meta-human" who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion - and not everyone is using their new powers for good. In the months since the accident, the city has seen a sharp increase in missing people, unexplained deaths and other strange phenomena. Barry now has a renewed purpose - using his gift of speed to protect the innocent, while never giving up on his quest to solve his mother’s murder and clear his father’s name.

This has potential.........Interesting how you found a way to both come up with a CW Batman series AND weave it into the Arrowverse. (Also like how in your Supergirl S3 idea you did a bit of a twist on Volcana, one of my favorite DCAU villains.)
