They should have done this as a two part story arc with part one being on Supergirl and part 2 being on the Flash. Kinda like they used to do with Buffy / Angel crossovers.
They dont have the budget for 2 parts, just this one episode cost a grip of money and ton of time. Flash Shoots in Canada and Supergirl shoots in LA and the logistics alone was a nightmare.
Watched it for The Flash, I never knew she was that goofy loll, not sure if this will make me watch Supergirl though.
This was actually the best episode of Supergirl all season.
But if they want to save this show it needs to get the fuck off of CBS, and drop the "Sex in The City" vibe.
I download my episodes, so can somebody tell me what are they advertising in the commercials during this show? Tampons? Activia yogurt?

who watches commercials
but yeah i enjoyed the ep....and looks like it got good reviews too
I have to agree with you there. The best episode of was like 2 weeks ago episode was about red kryptonite and it was best ever!!! All her enemies are corny as hell and its damn shame!
Did they just make this the last episode? They didn't show what was gonna happen next time and it ended on a cliffhanger 
Just watched that flash crossover. That episode was good because of the Flash. I went back and watched a couple more episodes and this is one of the worst superhero show's I've ever seen. Shit Arrow is better than that show. This show is awful, maybe they need to be taken off of CBS and put on the CW, I don't know.

the Flash episode tomorrow is actually going to lead into this one
While,I like the show also,I agree with the whole Sex in the City bullshit
Did they just make this the last episode? They didn't show what was gonna happen next time and it ended on a cliffhanger
If,you're talking about Supergirl,the next episode is April 11th....It has two more episodes left in the season

There are only two episodes remaining of Supergirl season 1, and after several episodes of fighting off both human and alien enemies, Kara (Melissa Benoist) is set for her biggest showdown yet. While renewal is likely for the freshman series, bolstered by the recent ratings boost of The Flash crossover, it’s not yet been officially announced. Showrunners/creators Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler, and Andrew Kreisberg will be hoping a well-received end to season 1 will help confirm that there will, in fact, be a season 2.
Speaking of The Flash, well-known writer/director and comic book geek Kevin Smithdirected episode 21 of that DC Comics-based TV series’ second season, which will air this May. The show shares many of the same creative team as Supergirl, so while on set, the man known for telling great behind-the-scenes stories picked up some inside information.
According to Cinema Blend, Smith heard about future collaborations between the DC hero shows as well as a big revelation about Supergirl‘s big finale episode:
“But they were talking about the crossover in a way that it was the first of many, and they told me something that I’m not going to f**king share because it will ruin the end of the season for you, but it is amazing. Something’s happening that will affect Supergirl in such a great way that, you think it’s like cute puppies and f**king kittens now? You are going to cry when you see how beautiful this f**king thing is.”
The official synopsis for the Supergirl season-ender “Better Angels” has Kara battling an “unexpected foe” when she goes up against her aunt Astra’s husband Non (Chris Vance) and supercomputer alien Indigo (Laura Vandervoort). We’ve already seen that Astra (Laura Benanti) and Non’s plans for “saving the planet” involved killing a lot of people, and with the more sympathetic Astra gone, Non’s violent tendencies now go unchecked. Supergirl will have to “risk everything — including her life” to stop him.
While Supergirl has had some flaws in its first season, the series often excels at creating powerfully emotional scenes. These often center on Kara’s lost family and her current one, and how each have meant so much to the hero she is trying to become. Images from the episode include what looks like a heart-to-heart between Kara, adoptive mom Eliza (Helen Slater) and sister Alex (Chyler Leight), plus a touching moment between Supergirl and father figure Hank Henshaw (David Harewood). While the the “beautiful” revelation Smith raved about could have something to do with saving the world, it’s also a good bet we’ll get some intense moments with Kara’s loved ones. Hopefully it will live up to the “cute puppies and kittens” hype we’ve been promised.

I knew I recognized Laura Vandervoort somewhere,she was in the V reboot,I saw around October....
Les Moonves, who has oversight of both CBS and The CW, is reportedly talking to “Supergirl” producer Warner Bros. about moving “Supergirl” from CBS to The CW.
While “Supergirl’s” ratings are nowhere near as big as those of CBS hits like “Survivor,” “NCIS” and “The Big Bang Theory,” the Girl of Steel’s ratings remain comparable to those of The CW’s biggest hit, “The Flash.”
Like the CW’s DC Comics series “The Flash,” “Arrow” and “Legends of Tomorrow,” “Supergirl” is produced by longtime “Dawson’s Creek” showrunner Greg Berlanti. The CW also airs the DC Comics property “iZombie.”

The Flash-Supergirl musical crossover: Carlos Valdes on the non-Glee reunion of it all
NATALIE ABRAMS@NATALIEABRAMS

While the upcoming Flash–Supergirl musical crossover features a big Glee reunion between Grant Gustin, Melissa Benoist, and Darren Criss, there are also other rich connections that run deep within this cast — and they oddly have to do with genitalia.
It turns out, Criss went to college with The Flash star Carlos Valdes, and even before this highly anticipated hour, the duo were already making music together, specifically for a show called Me and My Dick. The crossover, however, will be a little more PC as The Flash (Gustin) and Supergirl (Benoist) find themselves trapped in a movie musical by the Music Meister (Criss), and their only means of escape are to play through the script, complete with singing and dancing.
In a nod to Kara’s favorite film, The Wizard of Oz, everyone else in the vocally impressive cast is playing a character within this movie, thus Valdes doesn’t appear as Cisco, but as Pablo, a busboy at the nightclub owned by John Barrowman’s mobster who has aspirations of becoming a singer. EW sat down with Valdes to talk about the big reunion.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did you feel when you first learned you guys were doing a musical crossover?
CARLOS VALDES: You know, some things are just star-crossed. Some things are just destined and written in the stars. This felt like one of those instances where it was just something that was going to happen. I think the cast saw it coming, the bosses saw it coming, and to a certain degree it could be argued that the fans saw it happening. I think everybody was just really jazzed. You have to admit, it’s undeniably curious that so many people in our cast come from theater and have that skill set. So, I think it was just a no-brainer. Add to the mix that Greg Berlanti is a big fan of musicals, and presto — we’ve got a musical episode!
What has the prep been like for this episode between music and choreography?
I was expecting there to be a bit more of a learning curve than there actually was. I was expecting us to have to scramble at the last minute to figure out how to make this happen. But honestly, it’s been a lot more fluid than I expected and I attribute that, honestly, to a good team. I mean, we’ve got [choreographer] Zach Woodlee from Glee, so he’s such a pro at this. He’s already got it mapped out. He already knows how to set it on the actors and it looks beautiful. So, I’m excited to see how it looks in the end, but as far as the process is concerned, it’s super. [Laughs]
How nervous were you going into your first take?
Well, I’m about to do it right now. You know, I have to say, I’m not really that nervous. I mean, this is sort of my bread and butter. This is the world that I come from. I have a degree in musical theater, so this is my sh—. You know what I mean? So, being here and doing this, I actually feel more at ease than I think I would at any other regular day on set.
What’s been the hardest part about the musical so far?
The hardest part? The hardest part for me is reformatting my conception of the performance of the musical for the camera. Because I’m used to having the experience of being in theater where it’s ephemeral, and it’s live, it’s big and it’s committed in that way, but when you reformat it so that it can work on camera it has to be filtered through a different understanding. So, the recording process, like making sure that my performance in the recording booth is matched by my live performance, that’s been an interesting aspect to play around with. Doing dance rehearsals so that we can do the performance and it can be captured once instead of rehearsing a number so that I can do it eight times a week for ad infinitum. This is very different having to rehearse so that we can just get one product out there and ship it out, and mass-produce it. It’s very different for me in that sense.
You went to college with Darren. What was it like reuniting with him in this capacity?
Dude, it’s been such a hoot and it’s been such a blast. It’s like old times. It’s weird because I’m seeing worlds mesh before my eyes, like, worlds that are very separate. There’s my Flash life, these people that I’ve been working with for the last two to three years, and then there’s Darren, whom I used to goof off with in college and write musicals about genitalia. [Laughs] That’s what we used to do. So, it’s very weird to have to experience that through a work setting, but dude it’s so much fun. Honestly, he works so hard — it’s been a really enriching experience and I’m learning a lot from it.
How is the Music Meister different from some of the villains we’ve seen on the show before?
Given the tone of the broadly colored musical, I think fans can expect Music Meister to be someone colored along those lines, basically. Definitely very different. I mean, it’s Darren. He’s such a goof and so he brings that vivaciousness to this character that I think distinguishes him from the usually dour metahumans that we have to face. So, it’s been really entertaining watching him play this, like, semi-narcissistic sadistic Music Meister.
Do we finally get the long-awaited interaction between Cisco and Winn?
Well, actually Winn in this episode is only present in the musical dream and he and I actually play a lot in that dream world. But in the real world, it’s actually Mon-El and J’onn J’onzz who bring Kara to Earth-1, so no. But it’s been a blast working with all of them. I met Chris Wood back when he was doing Containment and we were doing upfronts, and he’s such a cool guy. And I’ve heard Grant talk so much about how surreal it is for him to not just work with Darren and Melissa, but also to work with Chris, whom he went to college with. You know what I mean? So, there’s a lot of weird alma mater connections there.
The musical crossover will kick off at the end of Supergirl’s March 20 hour, with the majority of the action taking place during The Flash‘s March 21 episode; Supergirl airs Mondays at 8 p.m., and The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.

If its not Tom I don't care.
Ok Tom as Batman I can get behind that. Much better casting than Jorah for Batman in Titans.
It depends on what Batman we are meeting though...
Jorah could probably give a closer to pre batman beyond version well
It has to be based on Jason saying Bruce don't give a damn attitude towards excessive violence against cops.
Of so, he can pull that off easy.
“This season’s going to be a fight for Lena’s soul,” Benoist previously told EW. At the same time, we’ll see the show explore our relationship to technology (“It’s our Black Mirror season”), track Nia’s (Nicole Maines) continued growth as a superhero, unpack J’onn’s relationship with his mysterious brother, bid Jame Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) farewell, and more.
Click through to see the latest images from the season. We’ll update this gallery as more photos are released.
Supergirl returns Sunday, Oct. 6, at 9 p.m. ET on the CW.
