Still no solid idea on a premiere date. But Melissa finally returns to set, in January. I'm hoping we'll start getting some BTS teases.

Kinda hoping for another update to the suit, this year.

TV Line has confirmed that the Batwoman/Superman & Lois Crossover event for this season has been canceled.Also confirmed that Supergirl won't be dropping by either

Batwoman's Javicia Leslie Wants a 'Super Black' Arrowverse Crossover

By Keisha Hatchett / January 14 2021



Javicia Leslie is ready to suit up and take on Gotham’s worst. The God Friended Me alum will soon don the leather cowl when Season 2 of Batwoman premieres this Sunday (The CW, 8/7c). Leslie’s Ryan Wilder takes over for Kate Kane, who will be missing in action following Ruby Rose’s departure from the series in May.

With Leslie set to join the Arrowverse, the actress says she’s open to mixing it up with her CW cohorts, like the cast of Black Lightning. However, all crossover plans will have to wait until next year due to the COVID outbreak.

“I’m so heartbroken about the COVID situation because I know that it’s Black Lightning‘s last season, and I would have loved to do a crossover with them. Nafessa [Williams] and Jordan Calloway are really good friends of mine, and it would have been great to play with them and be superheroes all on the same show. That would have been epic,” Leslie tells TVLine, noting that she’d still like to stage a crossover when it’s safe to do so.

“Whatever show that has Black people on it, I’m going to do these crossovers with because I just want it to be a super Black crossover,” she adds.

TVLine has confirmed that the previously announced Arrowverse crossover between Batwoman and Superman & Lois has been cancelled as a result. According to Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries, that also means Kara Danvers likely won’t be dropping by Gotham before Supergirl wraps this season.

“We’re not really able to cross over because physically, we can’t cross crews due to the fear of exposure to COVID,” Dries explains. “So if Supergirl weren’t ending this year, I would say there would be more of a possibility. But I’m afraid that at least this year, we’re not going to be able to tap into that dynamic.”

Batwoman‘s second season will focus on Wilder’s journey as Gotham’s newest caped crusader. She’s Black, lesbian and has a criminal record. Dries describes her as a messy, slightly goofy and untamed woman whose life has been scarred by racial injustice and a troubled childhood. Wilder will use the batsuit as a way to escape those unhealed wounds and become powerful in a way that she can’t outside of the suit.

Wilder won’t just be inheriting those cool Batwoman gadgets, though; she’ll also add her unique touches. Leslie reveals that Wilder will be making changes to the batsuit — among other things. “She wants to figure out a way to make this Batwoman comfortable for her, making Batwoman something that she feels represents her life, her path, the people that she represents.”

Sounds like originally they had wanted a Supergirl appearance on Batwoman this season but the COVID-19 situation still in play scrapped that along with the Batwoman/Superman & Lois crossover.

Was just listening to the latest DCTVshow podcast.It seems Melissa will be arriving in Vancouver probablty tomorrow to begin her two week quarantine.They also reported that Melissa's stunt double has been recently posting pics of herself for the show that is pointing to Melissa/Kara losing the bangs for season 6.I know back in October that Melissa was sporting non bangs when she was doing videos related to the election. We'll see soon possibly once filming restarts later this month probably via on location shooting,twitter/Instagram photos and possible official photo releases.

I will be ecstatic if they lose the bangs. I'm not a big fan of the current costume, but I had the inkling, all year, that it would have looked a lot better with the previous hairstyle.

The bangs actually looked pretty cute with some of Kara and Melissa's hairstyles...but the way they worked into Supergirl's hairstyle just didn't look good, to me.

Either way...so eager and excited to hopefully get some BTS stuff, this month...or hopefully February if not this month.

I wasn't bothered by the bangs or new suit. The new suit seemed more practical, even if the skirt was more iconic. Her suit is nano technology. I am not sure why it can't simply alternate in styles. She could have multiple suit variations.

I understand new shows on CW will be capped at 13 episodes, so when Superman and Walker air their episodes, the schedule will have room for Supergirl. Probably late May or June if the try to avoid reruns and preemption.

I do not see how they can complete and schedule 20 episodes of Supergirl before the 2021-22 season starts. I am thinking we will get season 6A this season and 6B will air sometimes next season.

Hopefully some meaningful information will start flowing in soon.

Sad to see Supergirl's last crossover be all about the end of Green Arrow...and that we truly will never see the teased Justice League in action.

I really hope this is a stellar season. It's just really sad that the last season is the COVID season.

I know how you feel.It is disappointing that we probably won't see Supergirl interact with any other heroes in her final season due to COVID-19.I understand why but can't help still feeling sad about that.I'm glad Diggle will be showing up this season though.

This is just my personal feelings.I know others want Melissa to completely move on from Supergirl and the Arrowverse after this season concludes but I’m hoping that we get a proper crossover of some sort then in the 2021-2022 season where Melissa Benoist and Cress Williams(since Black Lightning is also ending this season) can make a guest appearance.It also does not feel right to me not to have Supergirl pop over to Superman & Lois at some point for a guest appearance so again maybe in a crossover event next year.Plus a proper crossover next season would give us the chance to see the new Batwoman and Supergirl meet then.

As for this season,even if they can’t do a actual crossover this season,I would love to hear that Supergirl went looking for Kate off-screen(good way also to have a Melissa light episode at the start of the season due to her maternity leave.) and maybe mention there is a new Batwoman in Gotham on Supergirl.That would satisfy me just fine given the COVID-19 situation preventing any crossover for this season.An acknowledgment of Kate’s missing status and the new Batwoman in Gotham can easily be done without any onscreen crossover.

Quoting myself.

Just watched the season 2 premiere of Batwoman and there are several Supergirl connections and a good setup for something along the lines of my quote.

spoilers for Batwoman season 1 episode 1.

Warning: Spoiler Alert! [Toggle message]

1)The episode opens with Kate's plane arriving back in Gotham from National City when it crashes setting up her disappearance.

2)We learn from Luke later in the episode that Kate went to National City to talk to Kara about destroying the kryptonite bullet.We don't get a answer on what was decided due to the plane crash.

3)Luke accidently outs Kara as Supergirl to Hush thinking he's Bruce Wayne(not sure if that will play into anything since Hush is captured at the end of the episode and sent back to Arkham).

4)The new Batwoman was shot with the kryptonite bullet.

5)It looks like Ryan is going to suffer from kryptonite poisoning since pieces of the bullet are embeded in her wound.The showrunner confirms in a T.V. line interview that this will be a ongoing plotline.

My thoughts.

The opening of the episode certainly sets up a way to do something along the lines of what I want.

They very easily in the season 6 premiere of Supergirl could have a Melissa light episode by having Kara meet with Kate offscreen and then later in the episode have Kara mention what they decided to do with the kryptonite bullet.

Kate's plane crash could also then be mentioned on the show too.

Finally,I certainly can see now how they would of set up a crossover.meeting between Supergirl and the new Batwoman if we hadn't had the ongoing issue with the pandemic preventing crossovers via Ryan suffering from the kryptonite in her system.

Blown away to hear National City mentioned a few times during the Batwoman premiere. I was worried about the show continuing its in your face woke writing from last season. But, for the most part it shifted in reverse. I did like the batmobile with the flames coming put the rear exhaust...perhaps CGI, but a throwback to the Adam West TV show. The pace was a bit fast trying to get things doe within one hour. It's too bad there will be no Super Bat crossover as Ryan and Kara could nearly be kindred spirits character wise.

They confirmed that Melissa is back on set.They also said that Melissa is probably going to miss two episodes this season and those are the two young Danvers episodes.

They then speculate about a photo that Melissa's stunt double posted today where she's wearing the old suit and no bangs.Is it a old photo she reposted?Is this more evidence that they are losing the bangs?Is the old suit coming back?

Personally,I can certainly buy them losing the bangs this season and there were other photos of the stunt double sporting the season 1-4 hair posted recently and the last time we saw Melissa right before the election,she didn't have bangs.But I would be surprised if they went back to the season 1-4 suit with the skirt unless it was for a flashback or one off like we saw for a bit in Crisis and the 100th episode.They spent the money to make the new suit,Melissa loves it and it gives better protection from the elements.

I certainly understand the risk of crossovers during Covid-19 times and although a bummer, it was smart to cancel this year's event. However, If the other shows wrap filming before Supergirl, could they work in farewell guest appearances? There would be a far lesser contamination risk if the other shows have wrapped.

@comic fan. I guess if Melissa had to miss an episode or two, the ones featuring the younger versions of the Danvers sister would work the best. We still get Kara Danvers. Supergirl without Kara is really not Supergirl.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Since the series finale is shooting in August,I'm hoping things are a bit better pandemic wise by that point via vaccines allowing for Barry,Clark and maybe Sara popping in for the finale.

IMO though the two important ones would be Barry & Clark.

The only issue is that the CW is hoping for normal filming to resume for next season meaning the following seasons will be filming.The head of the CW has said that they are even considering cutting the episode order of some shows this season so they can begin filming for the next season at the normal time.This wouldn't effect Supergirl because it's ending but assuming The Flash is renewed for season 8(and I'm sure it will be) than they will want to start filming Season 8 in mid to late July.That may not be a big issue sicne they were able to get Melissa,Grant and Caity to pop in for Arrow finale even though their shows were also filming.Marc Guggenheim even talkmed about that Melissa literally popped over to the Arrow set for like a hour to film the funeral scene and immediately returned the Supergirl set to continue filming the current episode.

It's really going to come down to where things stand with the pandemic come mid summer.

@comic fan. I guess if Melissa had to miss an episode or two, the ones featuring the younger versions of the Danvers sister would work the best. We still get Kara Danvers. Supergirl without Kara is really not Supergirl.

It's a good trade off.Whenever young Kara and Alex appear,it's popular and fans have been hoping for another episode centered on them like,Midvale' so since they can't have Melissa for two episodes than give us something else that they know people want and give a extra helping of it with two episodes too.So no Melissa for two episodes but we get to episodes featuring the young Danvers and as you say,Kara is still in the episode.

@comic book fan IMO though the two important ones would be Barry & Clark.

Most definitely... with Kate "missing", Barry and Clark are the two "must haves". I'd love another Music Meister Supergirl episode with Barry to bookend with the Flash episode. I'd also love Clark and Kara on Argo and Kara visiting Clark and her nephews in Smallville before the series wraps.

Although, I had long wanted a Legends two parter that started with the younger Danvers and concluded with the present day Danvers. Also,, If Kara heads to the future to join the Legion, my hope for how the show ends, it would be fun if the Waverider just happens to pop up.

I'm honestly just sitting on pins and needles, waiting for SOME kind of photo confirmation that Melissa is back, in the suit, and working. BTS photos, a promo photo. ANYTHING.

Could Kara become Superwoman? While I don't see TPTB sending Kara down the same embittered path as the comics (Future State Superwoman #1), could Supergirl take on the new moniker in its final bow?

Anything is possible.There is some synergy currently going on between the comics and shows.Ryan Wilder was just introduced in the comics in Batgirl # 50 back in the Fall.The new Wonder Girl series the CW is developing is based on the new character who just debuted in Future State.

Almost 2 weeks into Melissa's supposed return with no pics! Gah!

Sorry guys. I'm freaking starved for content. It's been over 10 months since the last time we got some on-set pics of Supergirl!
