By now, everyone even causally interested in the growing slate of comic book television shows knows that over at Marvel, the TV shows are set in the same Marvel universe in which the blockbuster Avengers universe takes place. Whereas over at DC Comics, the TV shows and Justice League/Suicide Squad universe are completely separate (for now, anyway). To complicate matters even further, the fact that the DC TV shows are spread across multiple networks led many to believe that a single shared universe was impossible. In other words, Arrow, The Flash and their shared universe Legends compatriots would have to suffice.
While we maintained that a single shared universe could be more possible than fans would think (since nearly all DC shows are being handled by the same people), the past few weeks have done the work for us. First, a crossover between The CW’s The Flash and CBS’ Supergirl was officially announced. But the producers saved their biggest surprise for The Flash‘s trip to Earth-2, when the trip offered a glimpse of the full DC Comics Multiverse – revealing how Supergirl connects to the show’s world, a previous superhero show is also linked, and hints at even more characters coming to The CW and beyond.
We’ll break down the standout visions, and why the showrunners may have just confirmed that not just the main DC Comics TV show, but any DC Comics TV show is taking place alongside the others… from a certain perspective.
