No Crossovers For Supergirl — Yet

To answer the question of when or if Supergirl will cross over with the CW DC series Flash, Arrow, or Legends of Tomorrow, Executive Producer Greg Berlanti says it’s not in the cards as of the current time.

“The network [CBS] has said publicly at this point they’re going to keep her to themselves,” Berlanti told Variety at this year’s Upfronts. “I always approach the shows as a fan first, so I would love to see (a crossover). I think in success, all things are possible. But there’s a lot that would have to happen before everybody might say yes to that.”

  • I think crossovers would work best if various DC shows embraced the multiverse. You could have an episode where Flash accidentally crosses dimensions and arrives in "Supergirl's Universe" and has to figure out how to get home. Meanwhile teaming up with Supergirl for an episode or two.

    I suggest this since the Arrow/Flash-verse has pretty clearly established that the Flash is the first publicly known superhero in that world. No Superman operating for years.

    Historically superhero TV shows and movies have tended to have only the one hero barring a sidekick ie. Batman in their universe with other superheros seemingly not existing.

    I wonder if audiences want this anymore? Do they want Supergirl to be the only superhero in her world?

    Now that we've been exposed to the Marvel cinematic universe with superhero team-ups in the Avengers. CW shows with the Flash, Arrow, Firestorm and the Atom all co-existing and co-operating, the upcoming Batman v Superman. Not to mention the X-Men movies that kicked things off as far as multiple heroes in one movie goes. Can we really go back?

    Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman made a reference to Batman but we never saw him - more's the pity!

    I have no problem with Superman being absent at least early on in this new Supergirl series. It gives Supergirl a chance to establish her own identity.

    Although now that I think about it if Superman's absence was due to his "death" ala Doomsday then you could introduce a Cadmus clone Superboy as a sidekick for Kara. That could be an interesting character dynamic/plotline.

  • Yes!! Definitely!! Supergirl NEEDS crossovers with Arrow, The Flash, and Ledgends of Tomorrow!!
