SUPERGIRL Producer Confirms "Flashpoint" Hasn't Brought The Girl Of Steel Into The Arrowverse
Rumours have pointed to Supergirl becoming part of Green Arrow and The Flash's world as a result of Flashpoint, but alas, it has now been confirmed that the character will remain in a separate universe...
This past Tuesday, we learned that the impact of Flashpoint in the Arrowverse was nowhere near as big as expected. Sure, things are going to be a little different for Barry Allen in The Flash, but beyond that, the ramifications really weren't that significant. As a result, Supergirl's world will not be merged with that of the other DC Comics shows on The CW, and she will remain on her own separate Earth.
Asked by Entertainment Weekly where things stand for the character moving forward, Supergirl executive producer Andrew Kreisberg replied: "Not for her entire world, but Kara will be traveling from her dimension to our dimension, “our” being the world that The Flash, Arrow, and Legends lives in." That does feel like something of a shame, but to be fair, it might have been tricky to write the existence of Supergirl, Superman, and cities like Metropolis and National City into the other shows.
So, with any luck, they'll find a way to keep the door between the two Earths open moving forward. On the plus side, it definitely sounds like we're getting more Martian Manhunter in season two anyway! "J’onn is stepping out and embracing more being the Manhunter," Kreisberg teased, "which is something that he spent 300 years hiding, but now he doesn’t have to hide that anymore."
