Last year, fans may have felt that the big invasion crossover event was one episode short of being a full mega crossover. Well today at the TCA Event, The CW boss, Mark Pedowitz, made it clear to everyone that this year would be a TRUE four-show crossover starting with our Girl of Steel, Supergirl! Furthermore, the big event is going to be earlier this year than last as fans will likely be able to enjoy leftover pumpkin pie with their crossover. This event will start November 27th (the Monday after Thanksgiving). Because Flash and Legends of Tomorrow have been paired up this year on the same night, this mega crossover event is going to get a special Monday night episode of Arrow which will air after Supergirl on the 27th. Basically, Monday and Tuesday (November 27th and 28th), we are going to get our second DC TV Movie! When asked for details about the crossover Pedowitz was coy but offered this sentiment:
Let me just say, romance is in the air. What’s the joy of having the third Avengers? It’s the fun of having everybody get together, that’s the fun of it. You get to see a whole different thing. They’re all big episodic productions, but this will be even bigger.

Good stuff Mark, you basically confirmed Supergirl Season 4.
Yep! I don't think the crossover is early.
I don't like the romance subplots (none of them); but, I think that is standard CW fare. Going by Vampire Diaries, which I watched for 3 seasons (my sister forced me; that is my excuse). So, I am preparing to watch around it. :)
However, I do think this could be a good season irrespective of the romance.
First it's not earlier than last year by more than a day. Last year Barry came to get Kara in the last minute of S2E8 "Medusa" that aired 11/28/2016 which was the Monday after Thanksgiving in the USA. Since we know the season three primer is 10/9/2017 I predict that the 11/27/2017 episode will be S3E8, like last season. I expect it will be episode 8 of all the shows. I hope all the DCTV shows get 23 episodes this year, it's kinda weird we haven't heard about that yet. Second I wondered how they were going to work out the fact that they don't have four shows on at 8 mon-thurs anymore, this seems like the least disruptive way to do it. Third the romance angle could be interesting. I was thinking they would bring Mon-El back about S3E4 to at most S3E6 but if this is his return then he's away from Kara for 1/3 of the season. Maybe he's back on Earth-38 but they're not a couple again until this episode. I fully expect Barry to be out of the speedforce before Flash S4E8 so maybe Iris is mad at him and forgives him in this episode. Fourth if Winn, Cisco, and Felicity don't meet I'm going to cry. I really want Oliver to meet J'onn, I'm picturing the face Stephen would make if J'onn transforms in front of Oliver like he did in the musical. I want Alex to meet everyone but especially Sara Lance, by the end those two could kiss or fight trying to prove who's the most badass human chick but it will be interesting to see which.
I'm with you on this two points kiwi
I hope your feeling about a great season is right. I agree that the romance theme is not that encouraging. But I also think that some of the themes they mentioned last season were not very accurate about the season so maybe that will happen again.
I am happy to hear this will be a TRUE crossover with SuperGirl's crew FULLY involved (that is a step in the right direction), at least that is what I take this to mean. I too agree however that I am not too thrilled about the romance theme - I also do not watch the show for romance - I watch it for action. Either way, I am looking forward to season 3 and will wait until I see the episodes before getting worked up about anything because I have a feeling and I hope I am right that this will be a great season.
"It’s the fun of having everybody get together", that's how I'll be approaching the crossover, just enjoying Kara interacting with the likes of Barry, Oliver and Mick again.
