On March 28th, DC Comics is doing something that is very rarely done on television. Grant Gustin from The CW’s The Flash is going to play his character on CBS‘s Supergirl. While crossover episodes are not that uncommon, it is very rare that it has been done with shows on two different networks. According to some quick research, the only time I can see that this has been done is when two of David E Kelly’s shows, Ally McBeal and The Practice, did a crossover.
Now back to our super friends, The Flash and Supergirl’s Executive Producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg said, “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.”
Now when are they going to get the Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow and Gotham involved into mix? Actually Legends of Tomorrow and Gotham could work brilliantly together since the first show time travels and the latter one is set in the past. DC Comics make this happen.
We know that a new episode of Arrow airing tonight on The CW at 8p is music to the ears, so that means that the show’s stars Stephen Amell and John Barrowmem are the music of the night. Thus it makes sense that when they were trapped in NJ this weekend due to the snow storm at the Heroes & Villains Fan Festival they would sing the most famous song from The Phantom of the Opera. Right?
Executive Producer Greg Berlanti has dabbled with musical numbers on Eli Stone; and I think after this performance, he needs to try it out again on Arrow. Who’s with me?
Before Mehcad Brooks helped Supergirl fight evil, he did it himself on One on One. He looks the same now as he did when he was 22 in that 2003 episode.
Mehcad Brooks has been acting for almost 15 years now and he has had several starring roles; yet people can’t seem to say his first name correctly. So Supergirl‘s Jimmy Olsen shot a PSA explaining how to properly say Mehcad. It is very simple, it is Ma-cod. Now that you know how to say Mehcad, can someone tell me how to say his last name?
BTW watch him tonight at 8p on CBS in all new episode of the super superhero show.
UPDATE: He also needs to do a PSA for people like me who can say his first name, but can’t spell it.
Helen Slater, who was the big screen Supergirl, is playing her mom on the CBS drama, and now the actress who played the role on Smallville is also joining the show. Laura Vandervoot Tweeted, “Thrilled to be announcing I’ll be recurring as #Indigo on @supergirlcbs So proud of the cast & this series. #Honored”
I love that Supergirl, like Smallville, is casting people who starred in previous versions of Superman and Supergirl. Dean Cain, who played Clark Kent on Lois & Clark, plays her dad. I can’t wait until Tom Welling finds a place on the show. Hopefully he’ll reprise his role since we have yet to meet him. How super would that be?
