Now that Supergirl has moved to The CW, the network is gearing up for an epic four-way crossover with Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

Ahead of its upfront presentation on Thursday, CW chief Mark Pedowitz touted Supergirl’s move from CBS to The CW. “Just imagine what our superhero crossover episode is going to look like come December,” he told reporters, later following up by calling the event “our biggest one ever.”

Now that Supergirl is where it is supposed to be on CW I hope this crossover is like a Crisis event and merges the two universes.

Send to the Phantom Zone if old.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Berlanti was chomping at the bit for this, I'm sure.

Just makes it all the more ridiculous comparing to how the whole thing started.

 

[KevinCow]

Can't wait. That will be a crazy week. The Flash/Arrow crossovers are always fun.

 

[BronsonLee]

The second they announced it was moving over you saw this shit coming

 

[Grym]

gonna spend 90% of their budget on that one week

 

[Penguin]

Has TV ever done a 4-show crossover before?

Two happens of course

I've seen an odd 3-show crossover before, but can't think of many 4 and up

 

[Kouichi]

Aw yeah Crisis on Infinite Earths let's goooooooo

 

[Broken Joystick]

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

 

[Jake2by4]

Darkseid

 

[strafer]

Now get Gotham to CW and make it a five way.

 

[Joni]

One single cross-over between four shows like this. I need to take that week off work to live this.

 

[ZeroX03]

Oh boy, I was just about to make this thread.

 

[NumberTwo]

I am more excited about things happening on the DCTV side than I am the DCEU. *sigh*

Based Berlanti.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

In a couple of years when the ratings start to falter for the shows they should merge them into one big Justice Society of America show or something.


We've got:
Green Arrow
The Flash
Supergirl
Mr. Terrific
The Atom
Hawkgirl
Speedy
Vibe
Firestorm
White Canary
Martian Manhunter
Captain Cold
Heatwave
Rip Hunter
Spartan
Vixen
Katana

Maybe throw in Constantine too.

Don't think there has ever been a 4-show one, but with the Chicago (Fire, Med, PD, Law) shows and SVU we may possibly get a 5-show one soon.

 

[ZeroX03]

Flip the two characters. Gets rid of that pesky Superman problem too.

 

[Bear Force One]

I'd rather they keep Kara on her own world and crossover when needed.

That's said, I am SUPER excited for the show's new premier.

 

[kurahador]

DCCW beating Netflix's Defenders to the punch.

 

[Bear Force One]

DCCW beating Netflix's Defenders to the punch.

Defenders is set to be the most boring real life crossover of barely powered heroes.

 

[Chase17]

I hope Supegirl goes up on Netflix or something by the fall. Have yet to see any of it.

Don't forget Vixen and Katanna isn't dead.

 

[Okingjrr]

Can't wait for zero plot advancement and meaningful character development.

I like the shenanigans in crossover episodes

That's the dream. As of last year the JSA name is off limits unfortunately. We'll see where the film universe lands.

 

[NimbusD]

But imagine they show Superman for just a minute in this one crossover before that universe gets destroyed? That'd be hilarious.

Exactly.

how are they going to explain supergirl, she's in another earth

 

[strafer]

Speedforce.

 

[TheOddOne]

how are they going to explain supergirl, she's in another earth

CBS earth was just a dream. CW earth is the real deal.

 

[abundant]

how are they going to explain supergirl, she's in another earth

The popular believe is that we'll get a Crisis event that merges both universes. It was already hinted at in the Supergirl/Flash crossover.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

how are they going to explain supergirl, she's in another earth

Flash already crossed over by running too fast, and his whole second season has been dealing with people crossing over from another universe. Just need someone messing with the multiverse and you're good to go.

 

[Bluth54]

I had a feeling this was coming but I still can't wait.

 

[ZeroX03]

Based on hints being dropped, there's a good chance The Flash finale next week will set the stage for this crossover and Supergirl's Earth-3 introduction/merging.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Crisis on infinite earths come on can't wait

 

[NumberTwo]

Based on hints being dropped, there's a good chance The Flash finale next week will set the stage for this crossover and Supergirl's Earth-3 introduction/merging.

People are always asking how are they going to reconcile these universes. Flash is the key. He's always the key. Dude would probably break the fourth wall if he were any more powerful.

 

[Penguin]

how are they going to explain supergirl, she's in another earth

The same way they explained The Flash

Supergirl could be chasing a major villain and end up on Earth-1
Then the crossover will be about the heroes trying to track down the villain and return Supergirl to her Earth.

And the Theme Song will Vaguely sound something like this:

Red skies.

 

[SpideySenses]

I wonder how they'll work the Legends crossover, one off guest characters are easy in that show but as part of a greater arc with the others series, I'm not quite sure how they'll pull it off.

 

[abundant]

The thing is, we do not know how Legends S2 is going to work, since they basically confirmed that S2 will be a soft reboot.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

It is? I thought only Justice League and it's variants were off limits?

 

[Briarios]

The Legends team goes to the future and there isnt one, so they return to the point in time where reality was wiped and get involved.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

The Olicity wedding special!!!

 

[ZeroX03]

It is? I thought only Justice League and it's variants were off limits?

When Legends was still in development, the original idea was for JSA and DC shot it down.

They also considered making it a fully Hawk-centric show at one point, thank fuck that didn't happen.

 

[Entropia]

I'm not surprised by this at all with Supergirl moving over to The CW.

I figured Arrow/Flash/Legends of Tomorrow would all intersect again at some point.

 

[Slayven]

It is? I thought only Justice League and it's variants were off limits?

Just call them Legion and say their deeds will inspire a thousand years of heroes.

Boom

 

[Sephzilla]

Oh man, this is going to end with Oliver finding out that Flash has

Spoiler

Earth-2 Laurel

locked up in STAR Labs isn't it?

 

[SimleuqiR]

WB-TV does what WB-Cinema CAN'T!

 

[Penguin]

"Well what are we... some type of Superfriends?"
