Can you imagine The Flash crossing over to Smallville and Wonder Woman Lynda Carter?

 

[Herolee10]

Not really. I doubt that you'll mind many, if not any, people interested in seeing "The Flash" crossover with a show that's 40 years old and with a 60 year old woman playing Wonder Woman. And while "Smallville" isn't that old as well, I don't think there's enough interest out there for the producers to even make an pitch for it.

Tom Welling Talks Possible SUPERGIRL Cameo And His Excitement For BATMAN v SUPERMAN
Smallville star Tom Welling talks more here about the possibility of reprising the role of Superman in Supergirl and weighs in on who he's supporting in the…

Tom Welling has been fielding a lot of questions about Supergirl lately, and while it would make absoluetly no sense for him to reprise the role of Superman there, he certainly sounds open to the idea.

"I’ve gotten a lot of questions about that, and the funny thing is, I’ve never been asked. They’ve never asked me. So, we’ll see. It’s a great show; I’ve seen it. I might need a little notice!"

As CBS may be developing his new show Section 13, it's certainly possible that he could show up in some sort of role there, so we'll have to wait and see! Be sure to keep watching the video above as theSmallville alum also weighs in on who he's rooting for in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (the answer probably won't shock you), man buns vs braids and Clinton vs Trump.

What do you think? Would you like to see Welling as the Man of Steel again?

I would. I pray they do. But it wont happen.

I would. I pray they do. But it wont happen.

well they have the actress that played super girl in small ville who's doing the show bitten play Indigo a former titan (books) & member and former villain turned hero. so say if Tom does show up, but not as clark / super man, but as another character. that's more likely to happen.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

I would've preferred a crossover into the Smallville universe but this is pretty cool too.

 

[super85]

Would be kind of neat and good for continuity if they would get Welling on the show and at the final moment he would refuse to wear the suit.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

It was never actually said that crossovers would never happen. What was actually said, albeit with different wording from the various people who were asked about the possibility, is that there were no active plans to do crossovers at the time the questions about doing crossovers were asked.

I figured crossovers were inevitable, but didn't expect them to happen this year/season.

Well whatever it was, it seems like Supergirl's ratings freefall sped that process up.

 

[DigificWriter]

Supergirl is consistently pulling in more viewers than any other Superhero series on TV, so the producers chose to do this now because A) they themselves wanted to make it happen and B) fans kept asking them about doing it.

 

[metaphysician]

The difference of course being that Constantine the Series exists in the "Flarrow"-verse proper

Maybe. We know that Matt Ryan plays a Constantine that looks and acts a lot like the one from the TV show. I'm actually not sure we can assume the *rest* of the show carried over, though. Note that John never referenced any of the ongoing plots or characters from his own show.

Sure, some of them is just because of limited screen time. . . but I have a sneaking suspicion that, in a season or two? We'll have a great deal of further development in the mystic world, and it will look basically nothing like anything shown on Constantine.

 

[metaphysician]

^ Such an explanation wouldn't have worked given what's been established via both Supergirl and the "Flarrow"-verse shows.

SG's Earth is not and has never been the Earth-1 of the "Flarrow"-verse, so the only way crossovers are possible is via the Multiverse concept as established on The Flash.

*points up* Mark your calendars, everyone, because I am agreeing with 100% of a DigificWriter post.

 

[metaphysician]

Well it's one step closer to acknowledging Sups & Bats, I'll take it.

Do you mean "putting them on Earth-CW"? Because that's not going to happen, since the world clearly lacks in them. Unless you really want "obscure local hero Batman who doesn't really deal with Ra's al-Gul", or "Johnny Come Lately just another new guy Superman".

 

[metaphysician]

^ It already has, thanks to Rip Hunter.

Superman and Batman may not exist on Earth-1 YET, but they will at some point between 2016 and 2166.

I don't think you can assume any such thing. Not when there's the far easier explanation of "Rip Hunter has knowledge and access to alternate Earths." I mean, I suppose they could be the future cyberpunk heroes of 2100, but that would be weird and sufficiently divergent to not really be "Superman and Batman" anymore.

Arrow's producers flat-out stated that NBC's Constantine was retroactively incorporated into "Flarrow"-verse Canon by virtue of Matt Ryan's appearance.

 

[Frodo]

The reality is the producers of the two shows are gonna do what they want regardless of whether its consistent to fans liking or not, and whether fans like it or not. Since we don't know what their plans are as far as crossing them over, I wouldn't assume that they couldn't, wouldn't, or won't, be incorporated into the same universe nor that they couldn't, wouldn't, or won't accomplish the crossover via 52 earths.

The decision is really up to them regardless of whether we think its plausible or consistent. Unless you're writing and producing the crossover episode or have an inside track, nothing is clear imo.

 

[DigificWriter]

I'll agree with you that the producers COULD retcon things so that SG and The Flash take place in the same universe, but would like to point out, again, that Deadline (which does not as a general policy post information that it has not vetted and validated) has had it confirmed to them that the crossover will in fact be facilitated through the use of the Multiverse concept, which is actually the easiest option that currently exists based on what both series have already set up or, in the case of The Flash, had set up for them.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

What would they have to retcon exactly? It's not like there's anything in either show's cannon that I can think of that prohibits them from inhabiting the same Earth. I couldnt care less what Berlanti has said in interviews previously.

While Flash does have the ability to go into the Multiverse, I don't know if you necessarily need to go that route with this. They theoretically could (and do in many formats) exist on the same Earth. Unless they're going to say that on Earth-1 Supergirl won't show up until some time in the future?

Here's everything that's been established by both series (and Arrow) that would need to be retconned in order for them to take place in the same universe directly:
1) Superman is publicly known on SG-Earth and has been for 30+ years, but does not yet exist on Earth 1 of the "Flarrow"-verse

2) It has already been previously established on both Arrow and The Flash that the publicly recognized existence of superpowered beings is a relatively new phenomenon, which is incompatible with Superman, as noted above, having been operating publicly for 30+ years as established on Supergirl

3) As specified in the Supergirl pilot, Superman was the only superhero operating publicly on Earth prior to Kara revealing herself to the world and becoming Supergirl

 

[ZIPBAGS]

Supes has only been publically known for around 15yrs...Not 30.

Honestly, I really think the ArrowFlash verse should just acknowledge that Supes & Bats exist. You don't have to show them. You can introduce Supes like he was introduced in "Man of Steel" that he just now came out as Superman. They can be discussed or hinted at like Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) is.

 

[DigificWriter]

Superman was already publicly known when he found Kara's pod, which happened 12 years before the start of the series.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Was he publicly known? I didn't get that impression. I just got the impression he found the pod, so Kara knew he didn't need protection.

 

[Frodo]

I'll agree with you that the producers COULD retcon things so that SG and The Flash take place in the same universe, but would like to point out, again, that Deadline (which does not as a general policy post information that it has not vetted and validated) has had it confirmed to them that the crossover will in fact be facilitated through the use of the Multiverse concept, which is actually the easiest option that currently exists based on what both series have already set up or, in the case of The Flash, had set up for them.

Ah, well if the source is correct, and the producers indeed plan to stick to the multi-verse crossover concept with SG , then whether or not they could exist isn't an issue because that would be the route they're going.

Though, I would say that plans can change and the info a source may give one day may be true then, but may not plan out by the time they actually film and script the episode. Either way we will probably get a stronger confirmation by the time the episode airs.

 

[DigificWriter]

Was he publicly known?

Yes.

Kara even says so in her opening narration:

"But my pod got knocked off course and by the time I got here, my cousin had grown up and become Superman."

 

[Batsfan1]

Yes.

Kara even says so in her opening narration:

"But my pod got knocked off course and by the time I got here, my cousin had grown up and become Superman."

That doesn't really say he was publicly known. I'm not saying that he wasn't, but that just says that he'd become Superman at that point.

God bless you! God bless everyone!
