DC's TWX connected TV universe is about to get bigger.
CBS CBS revealed on Wednesday that this March fans will see a cross-over
between its network's "Supergirl" series and The CW's "The Flash." The move marks
the first time any of The CW's super-heroes have crossed over to a non-home network
series. More importantly for CBS it unites the worlds all four of its super-hero series
(potentially), setting the stage for larger events down the road.
While details are slim, what has been revealed is that "Flash" star Grant Gustin will be
coming to National City to team with "Supergirl" star Melissa Benoist on Monday March
28. Fans have been clamoring for some sort of crossover since "Supergirl" first took off
and now that the show has found its footing, the network has found a way to pay back
its viewers.
In addition to "The Flash," The CW also airs "Arrow" and the just launched "DC's
Legends of Tomorrow," which is off to a strong start. The common link between all four
series is Hollywood uber-producer Greg Berlanti who helped bring all the shows from
page to screen. The crossover will not only help strengthen the DC brand on TV but
likely help boost the ratings for first year series "Supergirl."
While the Time Warner owned DC has not had the same success as Disney owned rival
Marvel on the big screen, the brand has seen greater success on the small one. These
four shows, along Fox's "Gotham," have all been well-received but the idea of the
characters leaving their respective networks was always a long shot. In this case it
helps that CBS is the parent company of The CW.
