In news that I have been waiting months to actually happen, CBS has finally announced that The Flash will be crossing over with Supergirl!

That’s right, two of the best superhero TV shows right now will be crossing over as Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen will be paying a visit to National City in an upcoming episode. I am personally so excited for this news. The Flash has been a show of such sustained high quality that it has elevated everything around it. It has pushed Arrow to embrace its superhero show status, it’s paved the way for Legends Of Tomorrow and even though producer Andrew Kreisberg was clear that this crossover was unlikely due to The Flash and Supergirl being on two different networks, I’ve been waiting with baited breath for this moment.

So, how’s this gonna break down? Well, on the March 28 episode of Supergirl, expect to see your favourite Scarlet Speedster hanging around National City as Grant Gustin will be guest-starring as Barry Allen. I cannot wait. With The Flash and Arrow having basically annual team ups at this point, I really hope that Supergirl can become a more permanent part of their universe.

Read on below for the full press release from CBS for more information and be sure to check out the March 28 episode of Supergirl to see The Flash team up with the Girl of Steel!

Alice W. Castle

Sworn to protect a world that hates and fears her, Alice W. Castle is a trans femme writing about comics. All things considered, it’s going surprisingly well. Ask her about the unproduced Superman films of 1990 - 2006. She can be found on various corners of the internet, but most frequently on Twitter: @alicewcastle
