The Flash Gets Musical Crossover With Supergirl

 

By now, many of you know that the “Flashpoint” story arc will be adapted early on in the season and this might not take up too much time so that everyone can get back to business as usual for the most part.  Speaking at the TCAs this week, CW president Mark Pedowitz said this “The Flashpoint exercise is only for a couple episodes before it comes back in.”

In addition to the four-show crossover involving each of The CW’s DC shows, another crossover will take place in the coming year but in a most unexpected way: The Flash and Supergirl will take part in a two-night musical event. While it would be cool for them to take inspiration from Batman: The Brave and the Bold’s classic episode, “Mayhem of the Music Meister!,” Supergirl showrunner Ali Adler’s statement makes it sound like we may be getting some cutaways more akin to Family Guy saying “We’ll be careful about how they’ll break into song. There will be an element that they’ll probably be in a character’s head so it’s not too disruptive.”

Just because the Girl of Steel is set to join an interconnected universe with the other DC shows doesn’t mean that Barry Allen won’t have a reason to do more universe hopping. Expect him to venture back to Earth 2 to once again do battle with Grodd.

The Flash returns for its third season on Tuesday, October 4 on The CW.
