For the sake of argument Gotham is getting pretty bad ratings for Fox standards. My guess is Supergirl gets 3-3.5M
In the case of Arrow it got the ratings it deserved after last season's clusterf-

The Flash is not 'suffering'. Being 0.1 down from season to season is a pretty strong hold in the current tv landscape. Dropping 0.4 point on the other hand is not good. However, I think it will be adjusted up because I believe it was preempted in certain areas due to hurricane coverage.

It should be noted one of the CW's strongest station(WGN in Chicago) dropped the network, wonder how much that factors into lesser ratings

""It should be noted one of the CW's strongest station(WGN in Chicago) dropped the network, wonder how much that factors into lesser ratings""
Yes, this has been an issue in Chicago. I remember WGN bumped the Season 3
finale
of Arrow to Sunday due to the Cubs playing that year. Then, Arrow was bumped again for episode 22 in Season 4. (very low ratings on that episode too according to wikipedia)
I am happy now that CW is independent from WGN. However, it was NOT well advertised that the CW was moved to UPN/channel 50 in Chicago. I found out the night of the FLASH premiere, which I normally do not even watch.
I am glad that Arrow is now in syndication on TNT. Honestly, I feel like this show is not promoted enough. But, I do hope ratings improve. It looks like a good season.

Not great. Lot going on - including playoff baseball in major markets, but still. Yikes.

I don't know how much ratings have to do with individual fan preferences, probably not much. But they did manage to piss off several of their fanbases recently, one way or another.

Final adjusted ratings: 0.7 and 1.87 million viewers. Officially a series low.
YAY!

Not surprising to me. I'm a guy who, once I start watching a show, will usually stay with it until the end of the line. But even I bailed on Arrow halfway through last season.
I didn't like the 3rd season at all but I stuck with it hoping the 4th season would rebound. It didn't, and I stopped watching somewhere around the time Felicity's "permanent" paralysis was cured like 2 episodes later. Obviously I wasn't alone.
I just stopped by this board to see if anyone was still watching.

On a night when all but one broadcast program took a hit
A good indicator that it's more the night sucked than that Arrow did.
