Long-rumored, finally confirmed! Grant Gustin will be guest-starring on Supergirl as the Flash in the March 28 episode of the show!
Flash and Supergirl are much closer in tone than Flash and Arrow, so a crossover is natural. And of course, there’s a long history of Flashes racing against Superman — here’s hoping we see a race between the Scarlet Speedster and the Maid of Might!
“We are so incredibly excited to announce something that we have dreamed of happening since we starting making Supergirl—The Flash and Supergirl are teaming up!,” said The Flashand Supergirl Executive Producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg. “We want to thank Grant Gustin for making the time to come visit (on top of his already immense workload) and all of the folks at CBS, The CW, Warner Bros. and DC for working this out. And finally thanks to the fans and journalists who have kept asking for this to happen. It is our pleasure and hope to create an episode worthy of everyone’s enthusiasm and support.”
Early episodes of Supergirl pointed out that Superman was the world’s only public superhero at the time, and had been operating for over a decade before Kara went public. Early episodes of the Flash made it clear that the world wasn’t aware of anyone with super powers, with metahumans only appearing after the particle accelerator explosion, so Superman and Supergirl presumably aren’t part of the Arrowverse.
But there’s that multiverse, and this season of the Flash is built on interdimensional travel…
YES!! I was hoping this was going to happen sooner or later. But this soon is fantastic! Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg are genius’! Bravo to them for creating three winning superhero shows! For me at least, these shows alone blow Marvel movies out of the water.
This should be fun!
I haven’t watched Supergirl, but this should be interesting.
It’s been uneven, but fun, kind of like this year’s Flash season.
