So, will this be a last ditch effort to boost the ratings? How likely is CBS to renew this? Or move it to The CW? I don't think they'd mind having another DC show on the network next year to do a crossover week with. It seems to be doing better in the ratings than Limitless.

Re: Supergirl (S1E12) -- "Bizarro" -- 2/1/16
At least for now, the crossover will be one-way only. While it’s likely at least in part a matter of budget (Supergirl is more expensive than The Flash), we’ve been told by sources close to the two shows that the in-universe reason is that Barry Allen/The Flash (Gustin) is able to cross dimensions while, at least for now, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) cannot. Before fans cry foul, that’s keeping with the current storyline on The Flash, which deals with the aftermath of a dimensional rift opened between “Earth One” and “Earth Two” that is connected to The Flash’s super-speed superpowers.

Re: Supergirl (S1E12) -- "Bizarro" -- 2/1/16
So in this whole theory that there's different universes for both the DC-TV universe and cinematic universe, we now get that Supergirl is in her own different dc-tv universe?
They seriously just need to make up their fucking mind about all this stuff. Because the Supergirl universe sounds like it's connected to the cinematic universe in the way they talk about how Superman leaves a path of destruction in Metropolis behind him, but then they don't want to fully commit to having her be part of that cinematic universe.

I really need to start watching The Flash.
I'm glad to hear of a crossover, and the explanation makes perfect sense to me. As for universes, I don't see the point of people so intent on fitting a particular version of Superman in to her universe. Until there's something official, Superman doesn't really matter a whole lot to me.

You forgot that Constantine (NBC) also fit into CW's universe. For at least one episode.

Flash/Supergirl race?
You know this has to happen because everything Superman has done the Supergirl writers seem to be co-opting to have Supergirl do it first.

The Flash & Supergirl Crossover Officially Confirmed
Russ Burlingame- 02/03/2016
After months of rumors, ComicBook.com has learned that Grant Gustin will appear on Supergirl in his role as Barry Allen/The Flash next month.
Gustin will head to National City on the series' March 28 episode, the details of which haven't yet been released.
"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 Flash and 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.”

Re: Flash and Supergirl having a crossover episode in March
Great news but it signals that CBS is doing everything possible to prop up Supergirl's ratings. I know the Flash's producing team could write a good episode featuring Supergirl in a snap. Nothing we've seen from Supergirl's writing team indicates they have the slightest idea how to handle the Flash properly. Their knowledge of the DC Universe and handling comic book characters is spotty at best.
Fans will want to see them race but I don't expect a direct competition for this crossover. I doubt they let Supergirl lose on her own show.
Hopefully it turns out fun.

That doesn't matter- they'll roll it out here. There's not much continuity- the writers do whatever's convenient for the episode.

The script was written by Berlanti and Kreisberg. Kreisberg is Flash's showrunner and we all know who Berlanti is. I'm sure it will be a very entertaining crossover. I'm betting part of this deal involves The CW heavily promoting the Supergirl episode on CBS.

More than likely they'll just start the race and like usual, get interrupted by the villain or make the winner a vague outcome.

Neat. Love the Flash getting more exposure. I guess I'll be watching another episode of Supergirl after all.

It's not impossible to enjoy the one cross-over without seeing the others. But no doubt those that have seen the others will enjoy it more.

Kara Zor-El and Barry Allen both ate it in 1985's Crisis On Infinite Earths, never to return.
30 years later, both of them have their own TV shows, and are crossing over with each other.
Apparently the Anti-Monitor hits like a little girl...

DC could really be killing it if they had the one universe for all their TV shows and movies

I think the only thing they would be killing would be the storytelling potential of either the films or the TV shows.

Supergirl as a show has been all about "girl power" and I would doubt they allow a guesting male superhero to whip her in a race. Remember that Supergirl's intended target demo on CBS doesn't know the Flash from Captain America.
