Decision On Crossover Between SUPERGIRL And THE FLASH Will Be Made In The Next Month
It sounds like the decision about a crossover between Supergirl and The Flash will be made within the next four weeks, as both producer Greg Berlanti and CW boss Mark Pedowitz have provided a very positive update on the chances of this becoming a reality. Check it out!
Had The CW not passed on Supergirl, it would have no doubt been a very different series. However, what we would have lost in references to the Man of Steel, we would have gained in crossovers with Arrow and The Flash, but the adventures of Kara Danvers and the D.E.O. playing out on CBS obviously hinder that in a very complicated way.
We have heard talk of a crossover featuring Supergirl and the Scarlet Speedster though, and now producer Greg Berlanti has offered a solid update on where things stand with that. "I would love it, a lot of things would have to go right and people would have to say ‘Yes,'", he explains. "It would have to figured out very soon. It would all have to be figured out in the next month or so. As it remains right now we’ve talked internally about how cool it would be, but we haven’t had official conversations. [The CW chief Mark Pedowitz] is supportive."
Proving that support, Pedowitz was actually quoted (via Variety) as saying at the TCAs today that, "We are open if Greg [Berlanti], Marc [Guggenheim] and Andrew [Kreisberg] and Ali Adler can find a way to do it, we’re open to do it. The question is, can they find a way in all their business." The mention of Guggenheim points to Green Arrow also factoring into this crossover, and you have to believe that both networks would benefit from the ratings someting like this would result in. The question of course is how it would work. With The Flash exploring alternate realities, perhaps we'll soon be paying a visit to Earth-3? What do you guys think?
