Of course, anything’s possible, so Berlanti stating that a Supergirl/Flash/Arrow crossover could happen isn’t exactly confirmation that such a thing ever will happen. However, it’s nice to see that such a thing has not been outright dismissed, despite the fact that the shows air on different networks. Putting Barry Allen and Oliver Queen on screen together is as easy as having Grant Gustin walk across The CW studio lot and step into the Star City soundstage; placing Supergirl in either Star or Central City isn’t quite as simple.
Not only do the networks have to come to some sort of agreement about the business side of things, but the storylines and tones of the various shows have to mesh in a way that’s worthwhile for the audience – something that’s easier said than done, even in the highly versatile comic book genre. So it’s possible, yes, but is it necessary, or even worth the effort? That remains to be seen.
Still, I’m happy that the hope for such a crossover is alive and well; I’m not sure how it would happen, but I’d love to see Kara Zor-El come face to face with the Arrow or The Flash, and expand the DCTV universe farther than we could have initially anticipated.
Tell us, would you like to see the upcoming Supergirl TV series share the same universe as The Flash and Arrow? Or should it remain a separate entity? Let us know in the comments section below.
