Supergirl and Flash Are Going to Have a Musical Crossover

The news came from the CW’s TCA presentation, where executive producer Greg Berlanti announced a two-part musical coming late in the season. And that’s not all the excitement in store of DC’s CW-verse next year.

“Yes, there will be a musical crossover,”said Berlanti, via TV Line.“There’s going to be a musical pair of episodes in the back half of the year between Supergirl and The Flash.” He added that they’ll mostly be singing existing songs, but the writers have been kicking around trying to write “at least” one original tune for each episode.

The panel also revealed that the Chris Wood’s pod-person, from the Supergirl cliffhanger, is Mon-El—who isn’t actually a Kryptonian in the comics. Also on deck? Sharon Leal as Miss Martian. Honestly, despite the decreased Cat Grant screen time, the CW is pulling out all the stops to prove it’s the right home for Supergirl.

i always thought super girl looked really bad, specifically after getting texts from superman saying shes super cool.....now im even less interested.

Ill stick to comic book movies i think

 

[Sesha]

Musicals in non-musical TV shows aimed at young demographics, especially DC shows, feel like a formality at this point.

 

[Inferno313]

I feel like this will probably be pretty fantastic, and I feel like most comic book fans will be up in arms about it at the same time, because musicals have cooties or something.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

What are the chances Barry's crazy ex-girlfriend shows up?

 

[MadLaughter]

Both Gustin and Benoist have Glee in their resumes, so I'm psyched for this. Gustin was good in that one Karaoke moment, too.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Oh god...

 

[Lagamorph]

Ugh. Stop ruining good shows with musical dross.

Yeah this should be good. Are there any DC Villians that are "music-based"?

 

[Indelible]

This is the perfect way to kill any interest I have in these shows, awful idea.

 

[Tizoc]

Will N. P. Harris play the Music Meister again?

 

[Setsuna]

Miss Martian

 

[The Elite]

What was the last musical episode we had on TV?

Batman: Brave and the Bold?

 

[Nokagi]

And I shall be skipping these episodes.

 

[Penguin]

The Music Meister!

Who was created for a musical ep of Batman: The Brave and the Bold

also, people forget that Jesse Martin can sing. As can Carlos and to a lesser extent Tom.

Oh right! And I forgot Jesse can belt it out.
And holy crap at Carlos in that video!

 

[strafer]

Musicals are shit.

Im really bummed out about this

 

[Tactics18]

Ehh... no thanks

 

[T.O.P]

Only good musical episode I can think of was the one from Buffy

 

[D i Z]

More validation towards removing both shows from my dvr queue.

 

[Paznos]

They were both on Glee so it makes sense, should be fun.

 

[Slayven]

Yeah this should be good. Are there any DC Villians that are "music-based"?

IS that a challenge?

 

[Dalek]

IS that a challenge?

I see you saw my Slayven Signal.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Glee Club reunion!

 

[Guardian]

Bring it on!

 

[GulAtiCa]

Awesome! Can't wait.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Music Meister coming at you, Flash. I'm excited for this. Both leads were on Glee and got some pipes on 'em. It would be stupid not to do a musical episode at some point. Just make sure Jesse L Martin sings too.

 

[Slayven]

I see you saw my Slayven Signal.

Strictly music or just sound in general?

 

[brawly]

As an avid lover of musicals, sign me up!

 

[carlsojo]

I'm excited for this, but if they get NPH for Music Meister I'm ALL FUCKING IN.

I think the Trickster would be great for those episodes too. He'd work really well with the Music Meister.

 

[Dalek]

Strictly music or just sound in general?

Let's say music.

 

[Grym]

Just make sure Jesse L Martin sings too.

I'm not all that excited for a musical episode to be honest...but they better include Martin. Saw him on Broadway in Rent and he's got an amazing voice.

Here he is in the movie version

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

I don't watch those shows anymore but my soul is ready for this. I hope Music Meister is involved.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Both of the show's leads were on Glee so I guess they want to capitalize on that?

 

[Dalek]

He got a chance to show off last year when Barry visited Earth 2.

My favourite episode of Batman Brave and the Bold.

 

[Zero315]

With the amount of musical talent on The Flash and Melissa Benoist on Supergirl I couldn't be more excited for this.

 

[Sesuadra]

If they don't use the Flash Gordon song from Queen I'll riot!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS4_Z84-rRE

My best friend and I have been hoping for that since season one >_<

 

[Slayven]

Let's say music.

They already used Pied Piper and Silver Banshee

How about the Fiddler?

 

[Penguin]

Oh reminds me compiled a list of all the musical numbers from Batman: The Brave and the Bold years ago

[IdreamofHIME]

I've got a theory....

...this will suck.

Bunnies, bunnies it must be bunniiiiiiiees!

 

[maxcriden]

I didn't know Chris Wood was joining Supergirl. He was superb on the VD and Containment

 

[Shaanyboi]

 

[NastyBook]

Miss Martian

Helloooo, Megan.

EDIT: Xena had a good musical episode, too. It also started out the absolute HARDEST way imaginable for Xena.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Jesse L. Martin and Victor Garber about to make everyone look bad. I love it.

 

[Entropia]

So much salt and shade in this thread.

I'm not a fan of musicals, but I love both shows so bring em on.

 

[marrec]

Still put in my Once More With Feeling cd every so often.

Love me a good musical, love me The Flash, I'm indifferent toward Supergirl, so all in all I'm moderately excited about this.

 

[Psykoboy2]

"This Little Piggy" from Justice League Unlimited.

Will watch. Will love.

 

[Grym]

Awww yeah bring on Garber too! I mean he led an entire musical...as no less than Jesus Christ !

and as Daddy Warbucks
