Yeah, I didn't think my wording implied that I didn't know that. Some actors have their normal voice and then a "character voice" they sometimes use, and no matter which character they're playing that character voice tends to sound the same. Luke Skywalker has Hamill's normal voice, while the Joker and the Trickster both have his character voice. Just like when you hear Jackie Earl Haley speaking as himself he doesn't sound like Rorschach or Freddie Krueger, but his takes on Rorschach and Freddie both sound the same. I think it's a rare actor who can literally do multiple voices that sound nothing like each other.
Well what you said was:
Saying that DC should figure it out implies that they have control over where the shows air and should stop shopping their shows to other networks and put them all on the CW. If you say that's not what you meant, okay. But it was a reasonable conclusion to draw from the statement.
That aside . . . CW isn't really missing out on anything as far as franchises go. They're currently in the process of expanding their superhero franchise, with more frequent crossovers between Arrow and Flash and the upcoming spinoff show. But CW has a limited programming schedule. They only air 10 hours of original programming a week, and with the spinoff coming, there's already 3 of those that'll be committed to superhero stuff next season. They've already got several established shows that they're committed to (Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, Originals, The 100, Whose Line is It Anyway), and Jane the Virgin is one of the most critically acclaimed new shows of the season (don't know what the ratings are, but given CW's standards and history, even if they aren't great, the critical reception alone is probably enough for them to keep the show going). That's most of their air time spoken for.
Warner Brothers isn't Marvel; they've built their brand on more than just superhero stuff. They aren't interested in giving up that diversity, and that makes good business sense for them.
Yeah, the CW already made an unprecedented move of renewing all eight of their scripted dramas back in January. Originals, Jane the Virgin, Flash, Supernatural, Arrow, The 100, Vampire Diaries and Reign have already been renewed for next year, with IZombie and The Messengers potentially being renewed as well depending on how they do. Its why they have such a miniscule pilot season this year, they only ordered like three or four pilots....they literally don't have room for any more new shows as it is.
And having so much confidence in your programming slate that you don't have room to add any new ones is a problem most networks would kill to have, so the CW really doesn't have any motivation to try and squeeze in any more superhero shows besides the proposed spinoff they're already working on.

No. Supergirl's CBS, so Arrow, The Flash and the spin-off are The CW.
Constantine's NBC.
Gotham's Fox, looks like Lucifer is too.
Krypton's SyFy.
Titans is TNT.
Static's online, and Vixen's CW Seed.
But, that's it, to my knowledge.
Whatever about possibly or not same universe here and there, still many different networks.
