Agreed. Despite some errors of the Arrowverse, I think the CW is better suited for Gotham. But if the show were to join the CW, expect reduced production value and many actors will disappear. These are the characters I want to continue in the CW: Bruce, Alfred, Selina, Gordon, Bullock, Penguin, Nygma, Barbara(redeem herself), Falcon and Victor Zsas.

They won't lose money if they let Kevin Smith work on Gotham, he is a real Comic Book genius. Frankly he needs to be DC'S golden director for the all movies and tv. I know it's a matter of time before Fox complains that Gotham is to expensive.

For someone complains about Fox ruining gotham and talk about CW being genius is so hypocrtical imo.
Is flash good - yes
is arrow good - yes
is legends good - yes
hell is supergril good - yes.
However having Green arrow fight Rhaz was the worst decision i've ever seen made it a comic book TV show, and i've watched them all.
After beating rhaz, and then beating malcom in 20 seconds, there is no one without magical/super powers that should give him a fight. Yet every episode we have to watch him struggle in hand to hand vs random jobber henchmen. Then your telling me this promethues guy, who also trained for say 5 years after olivir trained for 5 year + the time promethues trained is going to put up a fight please.
Olivier beat someone who trained for 100's of years and never lost.. it's one of the worst comic book decisions i've seen on tv. -

Literally none of those shows are good. Arrow - season 2 with deathstroke is the ONLY thing I can state is good in ANY of those shows. The Arrow and The Flash may be amusing to watch sometimes, but they are in absolutely no way "good" about how you would say Game of Thrones or Westworld is good.

Production values would tank if it moved to the CW. Consider that Supergirl was cancelled by CBS within one season because they considered it a flop. On the CW, it gets the highest ratings of the Arrowverseand it's not because they saw an increase in viewers.
Gotham is in its third season now, and going strong. Early in the fifth season, it'll hit 100 episodes and be eligible for standard syndication deals, but it's not until after seven seasons that the cast can use legal limits on contracts to force early renegotiations.
The biggest issue is that Fox and the CW have very different demographics. Networks tend to deal harshly with shows that they don't feel appeal to the demographic they're after (just ask Babylon 5's sequel series, Crusade), so a move to the CW would likely be followed by a quick cancellation because the "wrong" people were watching it, or because they gutted the show to appeal to the "right" audience and drove off all the viewers they actually got to follow the show to a new network.
As someone who has been a Bat-fan since Burton saved the character in 1989, I think their portrayals of characters like Penguin, Riddler, Mad Hatter, and Zsasz are on par with Heath Ledger's Joker, and can't get behind anything that would threaten to take that away.

CBS owns the CW; that's the main reason Supergirl made the move to the network.
If Gotham does end up getting cancelled, I can see the cast making a cameo or having recurring roles. A lot of people think that Rip Hunter's line about, "Seeing Dark Knights fall" may have been something he witnessed in the past.
Gotham does take in an indeterminate past. It could be that Batman was/is still active and like in The Dark Knight Returns and Batman vs Superman, he's just an urban legend in Gotham.
But honestly, the whole feel of Gotham doesn't fit with the Legends of Flarrowverse. -

I know I'd hate if Gotham went to the CW. I don't watch the CW shows because they just seem way too campy for me. I'm not sure if Arrow is very campy, but I know their other shows are and is too bright. I like Gotham's mix of gritty and campy. Moving to CW, it may lose its gritty theme.

Unfortunately, the people who are pushing for Gotham to move to The CW or crossover can't seem to get it through their heads that it's never going to happen.
The best they can probably hope for is for some of the actors to do a Constantine-style one-off on one of the CW DCU shows. -

That's exactly what I was thinking.. All we're going to see is Blurred up Cinematography, women all of a sudden walkin around in heels all day, and like y'all said, it will lose it's grittiness.. Also that annoying speech pattern shows like that seem to have.. Lol..

CW can never handle this. Their action/violence is toned down with each season and their villains keep getting worse. The best waere Black Arrow and Deathstroke. Meanwhile Gotham is literally all about villains and probably should get an MA rating based on the very graphic violent content, CW will turn it into a slightly grittier remake of Adam West's show considering their extremely stupid idea of both a 1000+ year old villain and another immortal one is a 1-dimensional moron.
