Arrow may be "one of the best superhero tv shows" but that's just because it's one of the only superhero tv shows. It's novel because of that, but honestly, Gotham/Arrow/The Flash are all pretty bad. I like them because it's cool watching stuff happen in live action. But against something like the DCAU and it's really not comparable.

The main failure is that like many things these days, they focus too much on coming up with an "interesting" plot, but the characters are all boring and cliche and people we've met a million times before. The way they react to things is paint by numbers. All the cliffhangers and plot twists in the world aren't a substitute for good, memorable dialogue.
