January 11, 2016: Greg Berlanti on the Chances of a "Supergirl"/"The Flash" Crossover

The Flash/Supergirl In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, producer Greg Berlanti says that the clock is ticking on the possibility of a "Supergirl"/"The Flash" crossover.

    "I would love it, a lot of things would have to go right and people would have to say 'Yes,'" Berlanti said. "It would have to figured out very soon. It would all have to be figured out in the next month or so. As it remains right now we've talked internally about how cool it would be, but we haven't had official conversations. [The CW chief Mark Pedowitz] is supportive."

While "Supergirl" debuted with 13 million viewers (3.1 rating among adults 18-49), the show's numbers did drop, before picking up again recently, showrunner Andrew Kreisberg told EW that the show's natural evolution will see the show regain some of the ground that slipped away.

    "I'm as proud of Supergirl as anything I've ever done and in some ways prouder because it's so hard to actually pull off the sheer scale of it," Kreisberg said. "And while I'm so proud of the pilot and some of those early episodes, I do think there was an expectation of what it should be, what the ratings should be, what the character meant. And because it's a female superhero as well, I think there were expectations on the part of the audience and the people we were making the show with. And I think it's taken awhile to shake out. Once we stopped trying to make the show to be everything for everybody else and just started telling stories we wanted to tell with these amazing actors, the show has become a lot easier to make. We were blessed with The Flash, which came out of the gate fully formed in a way that Arrow didn't. Arrow took awhile to find itself. Arrow needed Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) which it didn't have early on, and it had voiceover, which it didn't need. Whereas The Flash came out like The Flash - you can watch the pilot and the finale back to back and it's the same show. Supergirl was one of those shows that had a learning curve on how to make it and how to tell the stories and the audience's part on how to watch it."
