As long as Superman meets Ray Palmer and they give us the cheesiest CW/DC joke, I am ok with this.

To add to that, the suits are padded. Even Cavill's suit is padded and he's buff.
All I know is Superman better fall for Felicity and take her out for a steak dinner.

At least they'll get one version of Superman right... right?

I wonder if all arrow verse shows will be affected by what happened in The Flash or will the Flash be in
it's own little universe for a while.

They might have stated it, which still doesn't make sense, but why not do it anyway? I'd be interested in watching this show if they did what they do (kind of) with AoS.

No "legal" issues at all, just corporate politics.

"You will protect this world, cousin, I know it. But I must go helping these people."
"Good luck, Kara. Honor Kryptons legacy. May the odds be ever in your favor. And all that."
"I love you, cousin! Good bye, dear friends! Byyyyye"
"I, this worlds Jimmy Olsen will follow you into this weird wormhole of yours because I'm not-so-secretly in love with youuuu!"
"I, this worlds J. Jonah Jameson and owner of this whatever company that will totally go down if I leave will also follow you because I'm probably also in love with youuu!"
"Quick, Kara, I, the Flash, can no longer hold this portal of magic open, despite doing this on a regular basis these days! Also I'm in love with youuu!"
*plop*
*DCTV universe saved*
*credits*
...
*after credits*
"Haha, me, the fan favorite villain of Supergirl also made it through the portal! That'll teach you to not pay attention, and now I will wreak havoc in all of Season 2!"
*the end*

I'd be down for this. The tough part though of having Supergirl in the arrowverse is that it automatically lowers the stakes for all shows. Damian Dahrk firing off nukes, let's call Supergirl.

Yep horrible idea

I'd love to see routh. I thought he was a great superman. Cavill would look so out of place considering how different the tv and movie stuff are
Better than him being a literal shadow casting over her.
Best scene of that show.
In the end, aos is worse of because of it. Arrowverse needs more freedom, and not less.

Just want to throw this out that Peter David's Supergirl Linda runs is one of my favorite runs. Then again I'm a fan of a lot of his writings.
Part of overcoming that is directly addressing her role in a world where he exists.
Ignoring it makes it so much worse.

Great idea if they're planning to do Crisis, awful idea if they're not. Also hoping it's not Welling.
Meh, I think you could make the same argument with The Flash existing in the Arrowverse as well as a group of superheroes with a time traveling space ship.

Exactly. Welling was fantastic and put ten years into the character, he more than deserves the chance to continue the role.

I'd argue that if they settle for just bringing Welling back, they're fucking up.
He was the only good thing about that show so I'm mixed but mostly okay with this.

Chloe was so awesome though.

Fuck Welling. He had his show. They should just get someone new.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Why do people want Welling again? Supergirl isn't a continuation of Smallville. And if they're smart, they would put 10,000 miles between the associations.
It's like the same people that wanted whoever played Oliver in Smallville to be cast in Arrow. People are going to watch no matter what, at least when you cast someone new you don't carry the baggage and assumptions people have about the other show. And it hasn't been long enough for them to cast someone as a wink to the fans, like Flash (and a lot of sci-fi show) does.
Putting Welling in this seems like squandering a fresh start for the show. You got a new network and now buzz for Superman showing up. It would be an absolute waste to cast someone that people are already familiar with, it kills the allure of seeing another actor's take on Superman. Plus, it's the dude from Smallville. That's how most people see it, there are much bigger draws in TV.

Neat. I'm down for Matt Bomer or Tom Welling for superman. Then kill him off and let that be that, no more wondering "why doesn't Superman just help/do it?" Not a question I'd ask, but it'd be nice if that was the resolution to that "problem".

Bomer is so handsome it hurts.

Bryan Cranston, surely?

Yep, they do a good job bringing back old actors in new roles like Shipp, Cain and Slater but it's different when it's an actor who has already found fame in the role, there's way too much baggage. Now having Welling as a villain on the other hand would be great, his best acting was always in the red kryptonite episodes.

Super excited to finally see Superman! I've been hoping for him to get cast for a long while. I wonder who it will be.
Personally, as someone who watched Smallville live for a decade...I'm against Tom Welling. I know that they wouldn't cast him, but still.

She had trouble catching two rockets.
He spent ten years in a Superman origin story, then refused to become Superman in the finale.

Give me Welling or give me death on this one.
Sure, if the budget was more than 200 bucks.
