March 28, 2016: Greg Berlanti Talks About the Supergirl/Flash Crossover

Worlds Finest Since the premiere of "Supergirl" on CBS fans have been clamoring for a crossover with "The Flash"... The problem was "Supergirl" and "The Flash" weren't only on two different American TV networks, the productions were filmed in two different countries... "The Flash" shoots in Vancouver, Canada... while "Supergirl" films in Los Angeles, USA.

In an interview with producer Greg Berlanti, DCComics.com finds out just how the crossover came about, and what other problems they faced to make it happen...

    There was also the Superman problem - the Man of Steel has existed for many years in Kara's world, but has never been mentioned in the world of Arrow and The Flash.

    "We always said very openly that Flash and Arrow exist in a universe where there's no Superman," says Berlanti. "Otherwise, you would have heard about him. They would have at least had one conversation about him. That was one thing and then there was the notion that it's two separate networks. It's just more challenging in that way. It's not so convenient. It's two separate cities that they shoot in.

    "We thought we might wait for the second season, but after Christmas we came back and were planning out the back half of the year and we saw a way that we could do it. It felt like the right time for him to enter her world and help her out, so it all came together. Everybody was very enthusiastic. I think one of the things that really kept the flame for it alive was journalists and the fans online and their feedback and enthusiasm for the idea all throughout the year."
