written by Tori Ann

As the CW has been adding DC superhero shows to its roster, it has been doing crossovers starting with the Season 2 episode of Arrow that introduced us to Barry Allen before he was “the fastest man alive.” Season 2 of The Flash brought a crossover with Arrow that kicked off the Legends of Tomorrow story of Vandal Savage. Season 1 of Supergirl saw the “Girl of Steel” meet The Flash when he crossed over to her world in “World’s Finest”. Last season brought us two crossovers – one between all four shows that saw the heroes taking on The Dominators, and a musical crossover between Supergirl and The Flash.

The CW Reveals Their Plans For This Year’s DC Show Crossovers

by Tori Ann August 2, 2017

written by Tori Ann

Last year’s big crossover event (titled Heroes vs. Aliens), told its story over four different nights on the network. For this year’s event, it looks like The CW is going to be changing that a little.

It was announced today that the four-show crossover will only be told over two nights, telling two-hour “movies” each night that are connected to a larger story. Supergirl and Arrow will kick things off on November 27, when the Emerald Archer will make a one-time move to Monday so it can air back-to-back with Supergirl. The following night will see The Flash paired up with Legends of Tomorrow.

CW President Mark Pedowitz spoke about the change-up, saying. “We felt in this particular case we had Flash on Legends paired, so it was better to make it a two two hour movies –a miniseries- we thought this was the best way to go. We had a lot of conversations with producers and marketing people. Next year, we might go back to four nights.”

Doing the crossover this way should lead to some interesting character moments, especially given Oliver’s reluctance to even engage with Kara the last time they were together. With their shows being paired together, he will likely have to rethink his opinion on the Kryptonian heroine.

What type of story would you like to see for this year’s event? Who would you like to see them fight? Let us know in the comments!

by Tori Ann March 7, 2017

written by Tori Ann

We’ve been bringing you all the details on this season’s Supergirl and Flash crossover as it become available, and now we have the official episode synopses and the first images!

The crossover will start with the March 20th episode of Supergirl, entitled “Star-Crossed”:

A new villain (guest star Teri Hatcher) comes to National City, putting Supergirl on high alert. Meanwhile, Winn’s girlfriend, Lyra, gets Winn in trouble with the law. Maggie attempts to help Winn but old loyalties get in the way. The Music Meister attacks Supergirl.

The action then continues at 8PM ET on March 21st in the Flash episode titled “Duet”:

Barry and team are surprised when Mon-El and Hank Henshaw arrive on their Earth carrying a comatose Supergirl who was whammied by the Music Meister. Unable to wake her up, they turn to Team Flash to save her. However, the Music Meister surprises The Flash and puts him in a similar coma, one that Team Flash can’t cure. Kara and Barry wake up without their powers in an alternate reality where life is like a musical and the only way to escape is by following the script, complete with singing and dancing, to the end.

The Supergirl Facebook page also released to first images, which show Barry and Kara all dressed up and dancing and Winn playing the piano while the Music Meister (played by Darren Criss) watches.

Finally, a teaser trailer for the crossover had been shared.

DC Comics World Record Cosplay Event in Plano, IL!

by April Carvelli April 18, 2015

written by April Carvelli

Today is the big day that DC Superheroes gather around the world to get their names into the Guinness Book of World Records for the “greatest number of people dressed as DC Comics Super Heroes held at multiple venues within a 24-hour period, at events which have been set up by the same organization.” The events kicked off in Australia and thousands of fans took part in the events across the world.

Even though there were only 15 official original cities participating in the main event, several other locations joined in with their own celebrations. Plano, IL was just one of them. Plano, IL, the birthplace of the harvester, is more recently known as Superman’s hometown, where filming took place for Man of Steel.
