Every time that Greg Berlanti – an executive producer on Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl – has been asked about a crossover between one of his CW shows and Supergirl, he always said it didn’t seem likely, but he’d love to do it if circumstances were right.
Circumstances have become right – The Flash will journey from Central City to National City to team up with Supergirl.
Kudos to Grant Gustin, CBS, The CW and DC Comics for pulling this one off. Follow the jump for details.
