SUPERMAN & LOIS And BATWOMAN Crossover Planned For 2021 As The Arrowverse's Next Event

We've been hearing for a while that the next Arrowverse crossover will be smaller in scale, and it's now been confirmed that we're getting a unique spin on the World's Finest with Superman and Batwoman...

The CW Chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz has confirmed today that the network is planning a two-hour crossover event for 2021 which will bring together Superman & Lois and Batwoman. Arrowverse executive producer Marc Guggenheim said a while ago that a smaller event was planned after Crisis on Infinite Earths, and this is clearly it. 

Explaining that it would normally happen in December if it wasn't for the COVID-19 production shutdowns, Pedowitz indicated that it will instead air either in the first or second quarter of 2021. 

"We’re still working on it," he said of the Superman & Lois/Batwoman event. "It will be a smaller event than usual, we’re only planning a two-hour event. We are talking about doing Superman and Batwoman together. There’s a lot of characters coming from our other shows." 

Many would argue that the logical move would have been to have a Supergirl/Batwoman crossover, but Superman and Batman are known as the World's Finest, so this does make sense. What will the premise of the event be? We don't know, but don't be surprised if it involves finding Batman.

The Dark Knight's disappearance has been a huge talking point in Batwoman, but remains unresolved. Giving Kate Kane a helping hand from the Man of Steel could help finally change that, though.

What do you guys think?

@dracula - Arrowverse Joker is dead so certainly not.

@Nightwing1015 - how many times has the joker been believed to be dead in comics

@dracula - Yeah I guess he could come back but probably not under these circumstances. I think Batman would probably be brought in first. I actually do think he'll make an appearance one day

@Doomsday8888 - Please CW, just, NO. I will watch Superman, you don't need to "entice" me into watching by throwing Batwoman in for a crossover. Oh, you need to do it to bring Batwoman's rating up? No thanks, not interested.

@patgreyc - Actually Batwoman goes into next year as the second highest rated returning show. If they were going to use Superman to save anything it would be Legends or Supergirl.

@GarthRanzz - That's sad, Supergirl has been the BEST of the CW shows this season.

@GAThrawnIGF - I enjoyed SG, the vr storyline kind of dragged me down, but there was a lot I did like. I just loved last season so it was tough for me to have a good follow up.

Superman/Batman or GTFO.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - A CW Batman? To each their own, I suppose...

@tmp3 - If he was portrayed in a similar fashion to Arrow, I wouldn't mind. It would certainly beat Superman/Batwoman.

Cool, although I expected it to Batwoman and Supergirl, not Superman

That’s weird. Supergirl and Batwoman is the team-up I want to see more of but any crossover is usually a lot of fun.
dracula
dracula - 5/14/2020, 11:52 AM
@TheUnworthyThor - Yeah, hopefully we eventually get a Supergirl Batwoman team up

Arrowverse crossovers are always great and I think scaling things back sounds like the first crossover between The Flash and Arrow. Hopefully this will be good too. Not too fond of Batwoman but I think this Superman series will be good. I like Tyler in the role.

Interesting that the crossover is Batwoman and Superman, maybe it's just a. time-slot thing. Either way, I'd be surprised if Supergirl wasn't apart of the crossover as well. Batwoman is gonna have to bring Bruce Wayne back into the fold at some point, and I would love to see Jensen Ackles play the Arrowverse version of him.

@LeonNova - it's already been acknowledged that Kate's Bruce is kevin Conroy not Jensen ackles

Can't wait for the moments where Superman praises Batwoman while simultaneously belittling Batman. I can hear the cringeworthy dialogue now:

"I've worked with Bruce for many years. He was the most determined person I've ever known...until I met you, Kate."

You gotta hand it to the Arrowverse, they started only allowed to make a show about fricking Green Arrow and now they're trusted to make a proper Superman show.

@Nightwing1015 - maybe one day we will see batman get a show
