This time last fall we were introduced to a new superhero in the DC universe, and that superhero was definitely flying high already. Supergirl made her TV debut last October, and it has going strong while changing the game for women in the DC Universe. If you don’t know who Supergirl is, you’ve been living underneath a rock (hopefully not a kryptonite rock). Supergirl is the cousin to Clark Kent, aka Superman and she's making her own mark on the map in the DC universe. It had the first cross-over episode with the Flash, which opened up a discussion in the fandom.
What would happen if Supergirl was on The CW? Well, thankfully we have the answer.
1. More development on the characters. Nothing against CBS, but they had so many restrictions when it comes down to character development with a superhero show. Character development is what gives these characters goals and drive to get to their point in life.
2. Home with the rest of DC shows. Yes, it was nice to have the CBS introduced Supergirl to us, but it didn’t feel right to have it on another network when the other DC comic shows were on the CW.
3. Crossover, crossover, crossover, crossover episodes. The CW released that they will be hosting a crossover event that will feature all four of the shows. Yes, that’s what you read. All four shows will be crossing over for one big event that will be coming out either this month or in December. They have found the villain for this event and its going to be completely amazing. So thank you, CW, for The Flash/Supergirl crossed over episode that happened last season.
4. Many of the stars want to be working with everyone. Earlier in the year, they had the CW upfront to get the promotions started for the shows and talk about the upcoming seasons. All of them want to work with each other, and are looking forward to seeing their friends once more. This move is definitely the right thing to do.
If you haven't watch Supergirl yet, what are you waiting for? Its on Netflix and Hulu. You should watch it.
