There is ALSO a "Speedy", just not Roy

OHHH of course! He sometimes calls her that as a nickname, but it didn't click because comics Speedy is Roy Olly's girl sidekick is usually Red Arrow.

But anything Gotham/Batman related was "off limits" until very recently for licensing reasons I believe. When that expired they had a throwaway line in Arrow where I think Oliver scoffed about "the guy in the bat suit in Gotham", establishing Batman as existing, and now obviously there is a full Gotham in Arrowverse and they've made a point of repeatedly mentioning Gotham in passing having never mentioned it before .

But up until the 2018 season, Batman stuff including most side characters and villains have been off limits, other than vague references. Superman was also until Supergirl moved over to CW, which is why Supergirl stuff all happens on "Earth-S" not "Earth-1" - they don't meet until Barry figures out using the speedforce to hop between realities. Though I strongly suspect Earth-S and Earth 1 might merge in Crisis .

[edit]Earth-S, not Earth-X. Earth-X was the one that was full of nazis
I find it interesting how they "mix and match" with the Canaries, as the "main" comics Black Canary is Dinah Lance
