Flash has
52 (now 51) portals leading to other Earths. I'm sure one of them leads to Supergirl Earth
Grant Gustin is the GOAT. I don't know if anyone can top his Flash.
Naw,
Naw,
They all lead to Earth-2. But That doesn't mean there can't be more portals after the 52 that lead elsewhere.
Alternate universe most likely.
Didn't he always?
How is their movie universe a mess? We've seen one film from it so far.

YES!
I expected them to wait until season 2, but this is just fine. Arrowverse > DC Cinamatic Universe confirmed.

It starts out slow, but once a key character is introduced, the show turns around in a big way. I'd say, right now, Supergirl is just as good as current Flash and Arrow.
We've seen like, one movie and it was pretty good.
Not sure how you can judge an entire movie universe off of one movie.

Nah, in the Arrowverse, Arrow is their Batman and Flash is their Superman. They're the first out-and-out heroes, which is why people were slow to adjust to superpowers.
That doesn't square with Supergirl's status quo, where everyone knows about Superman and his enemies.

Fuck yes.
As has been said, undoubtedly it'll be Flash doing a bit more universe hopping.
It's been a major theme of this season.
So no Supes in the Arrowverse. Flash already fills that role, as Green Arrow fills Batman's.

Not Really, Batman could technically exist they just aren't allowed to hint at it much. They technically can't even say "Gotham" or "Metropolis"
Wayne Tech reference in Flash
Dark Knights & Men of Steel line from LoT
Harley already in Waller's custody.
Superman existing pre Season 2 of Flash & S4 of Arrow would just about break the universe though imo.
Well alternate world. It's the only way this works. People can travel back and forth between Earth 1 and Earth 2 on the Flash and Barry/Flash can travel back and forward in time. Only stands to reason something in Flash this season will allow him to travel to other alternate Earths to make this possible.
Also like said other heroes like Batman can possibly exist in the Arrow/Flash universe. The others can be underground or you just don't hear about them in the cities Flash/Arrow are in. To much of the Batman universe exist within Arrow for there not to be a Batman at least. It's Superman that is the big issue. There is no believable way to introduce him now given how they've progressed the shows. So Supergirl has to be on another Earth.
For those that don't watch Supergirl the other heroes we've had confirmed on her world are Superman of course and Martian Manhunter. No doubt others will show up at some point

Point taken. They've dropped a number of Batman Easter Eggs.

Yup, all within 10 days of each other. We eatin' like Doom next month.
Well I mean, seems obvious.
What with Superman having already been active for 10 years and the "Earth doesn't just have one hero..".
That's some cringey Smallville shit right there.
"I met a billionaire with high-tech toys and a wondrous woman who will throw you for a loop!"
Chloe, for god's sake...you met Batman and Wonder Woman, didn't you? Just come out and say it!

Yeah there's a scene that was cut from Season 1 with Joe and Barry talking and hinting at Superman and Aquaman.
Nope there are other superheroes in the Arrowverse.

By universe I meant more of their movie output in general, not their attempt at a shared universe. But the fact that their attempt at that is so rushed is a bit of a mess in and of itself.

rip is a time traveler, its more him being sentimental than lampshady imo
his line is not as much "Lets point out a thing without pointing out the thing" as that stuff (or jessica jones, which is maybe THE WORST about it)
Didn't know about that. Guess they got to use it later though.
Jay Garrick confirmed that Atlantis did exist on Earth 2 (was above water as well I believe) when he was talking with Katlin on the Flash earlier this season. Mentioned one of his best friends was from there. Clearly a Aquaman nod.
There is also a
Gorilla City on Earth 2.
Yep. That episode in S1 (I think?) of Arrow when Walter got kidnapped took place in Bludhaven too. It's all but assumed that Batman exists, they just can't mention it.

Exactly. They're already there. Or will be. Hell Vandal Savage had a chunk of kryptonite in his collection.
Plus the Crisis newspaper mentioned a Wayne-Queen merger.
It's happening!!!
A green rock in a yet to be aired episode means nothing. The stuff you guys take as confirmation for Batman and Superman is nothing more than the writers breaking the 4th wall and having some fun, giving the viewers a *wink wink nudge nudge*
Batman, Superman, and the bunch do not exist in the Arrowverse
Captain Pants
Killed by a goddamned Dredgeling
After the last week's Arrow, I'm thinking Batman exists in the Arrowverse.
Ollie says something like "I was going to name you Oracle, but that's already taken."

Interesting that it's the season 1 finale of Supergirl too, should be a good one. I expected this to happen somewhere in the second season.
