Only two, Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2, and in his announcement video Gunn has hinted they (and even SHAZAM) might be folded into his DCU.
Why not? Do you know more about Gunn's plans than Gunn does?
He says other wise, and he's the one in control now.
That trumps anything you can say on the matter.
As probably one of the biggest Arrowverse fans on the boards, I definitely will, and for me so far, most of the time the Arrowverse comes out on top.
From everything I've seen and read so far, it sounds like these last three movies are fairly independent of each other, so there really isn't any combined narrative to dead end.
Since these movies aren't telling any kind of combined arc, each one should have it's own sufficient conclusion.
I'm sure there were great arcs in the Wally years too, but I wasn't reading the Flash back then.
It's one of my favorites in all the WB DC animated offerings, along with Batman: Under the Red Hood.
On the rumour that Gunn 'debunked' which was that we'd see a former Batman and that would be the DC universe's new batman
There are reports they are true to an extent, but Grace Randolph misjudged the significance of them.
The latest reshoot ends the film on a cliff-hanger, with Barry realizing he hasn't reached home, it's like the whole premise of Sliders, and this is how they're writing Barry out, as he's lost in the multiverse, George Clooney in a scene where Bruce meets with Barry at the courthouse and that's when Barry realizes he's lost
Clooney isn't Gunn's Batman going forward, it's just a fun cameo that informs us of the last major development for Ezra

The jewel of CW/DC productions was Black Lightning (which Berlanti had little to do with), with the 1st season of Batwoman coming in 2nd place. If i'm feeling generous, I can give a nod to 1st season of Supergirl, but that's it.
Minority opinion, I'd imagine.
Affleck's Batman appears in A2, and I find it hard to believe he or Aquaman--at the very least--will not say something about Barry's actions.
Indeed.
I doubt it, the Arrowverse has lasted longer, had more productions by far, and based on Metacritic's ratings has been more successful critically, and based on IMDB ratings have been more popular with the fans. So in pretty much everyway you can judge the success of a franchise, the Arrowverse comes out on top pretty consistently.
One, they're very different animals, despite both being based on DC superheroes. Big budget movies versus relatively low budget TV series, along with the different storytelling approaches that accompany the two media.
Two, they've both had their successes and failures, better movies and worse movies, better and worse series/seasons.
I've enjoyed much in both universes, and there's really no reason to frame it as a competition, unless one has an axe to grind.

Jenna Busch of SlashFilm attended a press conference held by Gunn & Safran where they revealed some tonal details of "Superman: Legacy" and the portrayal of Superman's character in the DCU, and I love what I'm reading.
They also said that they hope Gunn will be able to direct "Superman: Legacy".
Peter Safran said:
James Gunn said:

That would be a treat. It's a nice bonus when the director actually understands the character.
I've seen those quotes, and I'm down with most of what Gunn says, except I'm not crazy about the word "galoot." It calls to mind something like Li'l Abner, and that's not Superman. Hope Gunn doesn't overcompensate and cross the line from farmboy to hayseed.
OTOH, this guy does look kind of like a "big ol' galoot," and it's one of my favorite portrayals of Clark ever:
That small misgiving aside, I remain excited and optimistic about Superman: Legacy.
I don't want an 'old-fashioned 1950s man living in the 21st Century' Superman, and I suspect that most general audience viewers won't either.
