Supergirl to Join Arrow, Flash on The CW Network

There was this sense of disbelief when CBS announced their renewed shows and Supergirl was absent from the list. Even more perplexing was why it wasn’t on the cancelled shows list. Da fuq? Supergirl posted good ratings. Not stellar, knock-out-the-park numbers, but certainly good enough for a renewal. They gained a rabid fan base that could rally behind the only big name super-powered female hero on network television. They even threw out all conventional wisdom and did a crossover episode on CBS with The Flash which airs on The CW. They straight up merged shows and networks to make this happen. I don’t know how much you know about producing a TV show, but working with two different sets of networks, production crews, writers, SFX and CGI artists ain’t easy. But they pulled it off and it looked top notch.

Guess that’s why they’ve recently announced that Supergirl is now heading to The CW network and will begin shooting in Vancouver like the other shows in the Arrowverse. No word on how integrated Supergirl will become, but one can only assume they gon’ be popping up on each others shows once or twice a season considering they crossed over when shorty was on CBS. This move should excite most fans of Supergirl, Arrow, and The Flash as it provides the slightest bit of hype for a television version of The Justice League. They already have a Kryptonian, a Flash, a Green guy, and a Martian… all they need is a Dark Knight, an Aquarius and another wonderful woman. Who knows, crazie…
