‘Supergirl’ TV Series in the Works? Heroine to Share DC Universe with Arrow & The Flash?

Supergirl is bound to television screens soon.

According to Screen Rant, news emerged earlier in November 2014 that a 'Supergirl' TV series was about to come together. Afterwards, there was confirmation that the actual show is to be featured on television, after CBS committed to the project. Supergirl is already being developed by Ali Adler and Greg Berlanti, who also worked on "No Ordinary Family."

Berlanti told Variety that female-lead shows are growing in popularity and shared how "we're well past due for those kind of characters in film and TV."

'Supergirl' focuses on the life and adventures of Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman or Kal-El, who also survived from the destruction of the planet Krypton. On the show, Kara will be presented in her twenties and the story will also feature her crossing paths with Arrow and The Flash.

KSiteTV.com reported that Berlanti, who also worked on "Arrow" and "The Flash," already met with Ali Adler and costume designer Colleen Atwood to discuss the appearance of Supergirl. Berlanti reportedly said that the story will include a twist that "could melt fanboy brains" and that Supergirl will most likely "enter the worlds of Arrow and The Flash". Gotham on Fox did not do such a crossover.

In another report by Screen Rant, a crossover between the three TV shows will be advantageous for Berlanti, considering his experience on the characters and storylines. However, the producer will be faced with a number of challenges, such as getting the two networks to agree to do a cross-promotion, trying to fit Supergirl in the same universe of the other two male heroes, actor schedules and tone.

Berlanti has to convince Warner Bros. Television executives that a three-series crossover is viable and will do a lot of good for the network. There are several other factors to consider to make the transition and collaboration as smooth as possible.

So far, Berlanti has been successful in the crossover between "Arrow" and "The Flash." The two series are shown on air on The CW while Warner Bros. Television produces.

The "Supergirl" TV series is expected to appear on television on CBS beginning 2015. Berlanti's "The Flash" is set to launch soon. Several other shows featuring DC characters are bound to be presented on television soon by other networks, such as "Constantine" and "iZombie", which is inspired by DC's Vertigo. TNT has plans on "Titans", which features younger DC characters.
