I really hope they don't integrate it with the Arrowverse stuff - I'm looking forward to giving Supergirl a try but really don't want to bother with any of the other CW shows.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Probably for the best.

 

[Effect]

I would have rather had Constantine.

NBC is still holding on to it I think which is annoying as well. CW wants to use the character I believe but they can't out side of that one episode deal. He would have likely been a big part of this season if they could have gotten him for more episodes.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Superman/Supergirl are vulnerable to magic so there's shit she can do against Dahrk.

Okay, sure why not.

If anything some pricey cast members will be gone. Bye bye Grand and Martian Manhunter.

SG cast could use some reductions but MM was the only reason I stayed with the show. Cut him and I'm out.

 

[Kevinroc]

Glad to see Supergirl renewed. Curious as to how the sure to happen budget cuts will effect the series beyond the production moving to Vancouver.

[Freddy=Legend]

Why are people so down on Legends? It's better than Arrow that's for sure. Arrow is closer to running its course, I'd nominate that for ending.

But also, screw it lets have 4 DC shows on CW (and a fifth one coming to NBC, hope that's arrowverse somehow too).

I imagine they'd probably try to do a crisis thing to bring the universes together, whats the point if they're on the same channel that loves to cross over constantly and not do that?

Supergirl makes 5 on The CW. I know it's not part of the universe, but iZombie is also a DC property.

 

[flintstryker]

is this show really that good? i've watched the first 5 episodes on netflix and i stopped cause i see nothing interesting in it really

It starts slow even though I loved it right from the beginning, but once it changes to a more serial vibe it became the best ongoing TV series imo I'm pissed how CBS shitty schedule screwed it.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

This is better than a regular renewal. This show should have been on CW from the beginning. Fans win again.

 

[Blader]

oh thank fuck they got Calista. Really sad they're leaving LA but ultimately, this is the best thing for the show.

Am I missing something? I don't see that in the OP link

 

[The Last Wizard]

It's a better fit for The CW anyway. The big question I have is where in the world is The CW going to place this on their schedule? They renewed everything this year, so what day do they have room for a full season of Supergirl on?

If this fucks up iZombie (the best DC show on TV) in any way, I will be pissed.

Not every show is 20-25 eps on the CW, I really wish more shows would adopt the 13-16 ep seasons as it helps to cut A LOT of filler.

 

[morningbus]

I could imagine them doing SOMETHING like that, but no way they're dropping the supergirl name and outfit to match the comics. If they have the supergirl name, no chance they're dropping it.

I'd keep the Supergirl name for sure, but just use the concept.

 

[Father_Brain]

Hmm, I thought CBS would still pick it up with the show moving to Vancouver to keep costs down. Still, happy it's renewed. I'd say it's been better than Flash S2 overall, and I already bailed on Arrow and Legends.

 

[JSevere]

well there it is

curious, does this have any implications rights-wise? Is the show freed from CBS streaming hell so we can expect it on Netflix/Hulu in a few months or nah

 

[Chris1]

is this show really that good? i've watched the first 5 episodes on netflix and i stopped cause i see nothing interesting in it really

Keep going, it starts slow but picks up big time and gets really damn good in season 3/4.

Assuming this won't screw with the best characters, this really is great though. Now we'll get to see what it looks like under a network with more creative reign. Just dreading the obvious Vancouver locations. lol

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I really hope they don't integrate it with the Arrowverse stuff - I'm looking forward to giving Supergirl a try but really don't want to bother with any of the other CW shows.

As "connected" as The CW shows are, you can enjoy them all separately. Flash and Arrow crossover once a year, and sprinkle guest spots very sparringly. But they're largely independent of each other. I would say that Legends of Tomorrow is the only show that expects that you have some familiarity with the other DC shows, and even that explains everything that some people might have missed.

It isn't like in comics where there is an editor's note about getting the full explanation of something in the other series. They stay in their own bubbles and then have their yearly event and move apart again.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Just Think of all the Arrow, Flash & Legends crossover

doi it CW a 4 part 4 night event

 

[Bobby Roberts]

All according to plan...

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

RIP Cat Grant. Calista likely won't make such a big move. Or will she?

 

[Nabs]

This is pretty good news. I hope they use this opportunity to trim the fat.

I'm just going to need that Music Meister crossover event.

 

[icespide]

get ready to see supergirl fight dudes in that one Vancouver alley seen in all CW shows

 

[sammex]

Great news. It's really cheesy but I enjoy it's light-heartedness like the Flash. Also it being on the CW means it'll likely run for more than just another season.

the only cgi is his face btw

 

[Rhaknar]

Where it should have been in the first place.

this

 

[anaron]

cue the sudden influx of love for the show now that it's on the Flarrow network. lol

 

[Boke1879]

I think this show will do better on the CW. I also think it'll attract a good audience as well. The crossover potential is great as well.

 

[Paznos]

Wow they're actually doing it, I wonder if this means more crossovers and what it means for the other arrowverse shows story wise if anything.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Thank God.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I know, and it's dumb.

 

[Magwik]

TIME FOR SOME CRISIS OF INFINITE EARTHS

 

[Black Republican]

RIP Cat Grant. Calista likely won't make such a big move. Or will she?

Contract problems?

 

[googleplex]

Hopefully they can keep Calista Flockhart.

 

[Violence Jack]

Good. I'll be able to actually watch it for free on CWs instead of paying for it on CBS All Access.

 

[morningbus]

You must not be keeping up with the CW-DC threads.

 

[Ricker]

Great,at least its coming back...Benoist deserve a few more seasons as Supergirl,she is perfect for the role.

 

[Sheppard]

Did they also get Constantine in the deal?

 

[firelogic]

I really hope they don't integrate it with the Arrowverse stuff - I'm looking forward to giving Supergirl a try but really don't want to bother with any of the other CW shows.

Them all being in the same universe really doesn't change things in the overall picture. You don't have to follow any of the other shows as whenever there's a crossover, it's a one-off that really has no impact on the on-going story for each show. You can still have Supergirl a part of the universe and never watch a single episode of Arrow, Flash, or Legends.

Calista Flockhart — who, despite being adamant about working in L.A., agreed to remain on the series with its move to Vancouver.

 

[Toa TAK]

Holy Crap, I'll have to actually start watching CW now.

 

[Faiz]

CW = "Cape World"

Now with one cape.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

The best part of this is it will be easier to catch up on episodes of Supergirl because they'll presumably be on Hulu and The CW's website (which puts up new episodes for free).

Extremely premature, but can we consider this a Season 3 renewal as well? The ratings are going to be great by CW standards, they'll tighten up the budget, and CW doesn't cancel things anymore lol

 

[Kouichi]

Awesome news! I hope it becomes fully integrated into the Arrowverse.

 

[broncobuster]

If there's a plan to integrate the show with the other DC-CW programs, Anti-Monitor big bad in Flash season 3 can make it happen.

 

[Setsuna]

There has to be another city to film in besides Vancouver?

 

[Ophelion]

I'm glad she survived. Kara's show is the only thing in film today that seems to understand what the House of El is about at all. I would've been heartbroken to lose it.

 

[Rafy]

I knew it. It's not like both networks aren't owned by the same company. I quite like the show and it would have been a pity to see it cancelled. Here comes the first DC TV Universe Crisis.

Yea I think it'll have a good consistent audience on CW. Flash and Supergirl and pretty similar tonally so I assume that viewership will crossover quite a bit. Question is what day and time will they put this show on?

I didn't really tune into Supergirl because it came on at the same time Gotham did and S2 of Gotham has been amazing. So that's something they'd have to figure out.

 

[zeemumu]

Radioactive will play as she absorbs yellow sunlight.

 

[blakep267]

I say move Legends of tomorrow to a Spring Summer show and have Supergirl on Monday, Flash on Tuesday, Arrow on Wednesday & Supernatural on Thursday. With Izombie, Jane the virgin etc sprinkled throughout
