“They flip order, obviously, because this will air Monday and “The Flash” one that sort of hints at how he gets over there and gets back airs on Tuesday”, Berlanti said during a press screening event for “The Flash” and “Supergirl” special via Hollywood Reporter. Plus, considering Supergirl wasn’t included on CBS’s recent list of renewals, it might’ve also served as a nice catch-up/entry point for Flash fans following the Scarlet Speedster across the networks.
Today, they are television superheroes, The Flash and Supergirl, plucked from the pages of DC Comics. I’d rather they go for it now and have it not work out in the future than do the Clark/Lana Smallville thing forever and ever and ever and…
Gustin told Entertainment Weekly that crossovers between “Supergirl” and all three CW series – “The Flash“, “Arrow” and “Legends of Tomorrow” – are “in the cards”.
“One of the things that really kept the flame and the torch for it alive was a lot of journalists and the fans online, that consistent feedback throughout the year and enthusiasm for the idea”, he says.
There was another thing that was also in the way. This sacrifice proves her dedication to the people of National City, endearing her to them once again. Do you want a Season Two of Supergirl? “Once they are unleashed they are the most risky of all the villains we have seen this season”, she warns. Their mutual optimism and childlike wonder make for a captivating pair whether it’s while they’re being silly when trying to impress one another, being heroes or, my personal favorite, bonding over shared experiences.
“We have this little rivalry, because he’s a superhero, too, and kind of hitting on my girl a little bit”, Brooks said of James’s relationship with Barry in an interview with TVLine. Once that decision was made, the biggest challenge was navigating the logistics of Gustin coming down from Vancouver to Los Angeles twice in the midst of The Flash’s production season. “The show also had to be properly constructed, with hopes people will revisit the show(s) after the crossover”.
While this particular crossover episode keeps Barry’s options limited in terms of discovering doppelgangers and doubles who could help him get back to his Earth, now that the door has been opened, smaller crossovers could begin to take place on the two network’s shows. “We get to see him in CatCo and see them fight some villains together”. – Supergirl. And this isn’t the first time Gustin and Benoist have worked on the same show. “It felt like Grant had been on the show before, when he showed up”, Berlanti said. But the chance occurrence ended up working out for Supergirl because she needed all the help she could get. Barry says that might not be the best name and immediately received a Cat Grant “who the heck are you?” look. As we saw in SUPERGIRL episode 4 (“Livewire”), Livewire isn’t a fan of helicopters since the one she was sitting in was struck by lightning, which passed through Supergirl into her and created her current form (pun not intended). “That’s what you’re going to be for Kara'”. What Cat figuring out Barry’s identity* represents is anyone’s guess, given we’ve already once walked a path of whether Hank’s shapeshifting trick managed to assuage her suspicions of Kara’s alter-ego.
Gustin and Benoist appeared together during January’s Golden Globes broadcast to announce the victor for best actor in a TV comedy.
