The CW's Super Hero Producers Tease Four-Show Crossover

The CW is preparing for its most action-packed season of superheroes yet.

Now that "Supergirl" has joined the network's fall schedule, the Arrow-verse (the unofficial/official name for the DC Comics' based shows) will take over four nights of The CW's weekly lineup. Of course, the first order of business will be to bring "Supergirl" into the same dimension/channel as "The Flash", "Arrow" and "DC's Legends of Tomorrow", which executive producers discussed during their panel at the Television Critics Association fall previews on Thursday.

But as it turns out, all of National City and Kara's (Melissa Benoist) friends and family won't be integrated into the same dimension as Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and the rest of the universe. It will only be Kara that makes the journey between worlds.

"We have a means of how we're going to deal with her entering the crossovers. She'll be coming to our universe -- Universe Prime -- that we all share. Connecting those two is not something we've talked about, to be honest," said executive producer Greg Berlanti.

Berlanti also explained that integrating "Supergirl" in the aftermath of the show's move to The CW has the same problem as when it was on CBS last season: Superman.

The Man of Steel, who will be played by "Teen Wolf's" Tyler Hoechlin in "Supergirl's" second season, has never been mentioned in the Arrow-verse thus far, and introducing the Kryptonian history to three other shows is no easy feat.

"With Supergirl comes Superman, and none of our characters in our shows in the universe we've created have talked about Superman. I think we would maybe deal with that and how he integrated too, because it's a significant thing," Berlanti said. "We've got other more pressure things right now."
