Greg Berlanti Denies SUPERGIRL and THE FLASH Crossover Rumors...For Now

Just a few days ago, a rumor hit the internet stating that, despite the networks' seeming aversion to the idea, a crossover episode between Supergirl and The Flash was indeed in the works, contingent upon Supergirl getting picked up for more episodes in its first season. Well, Supergirl did indeed land a full season order yesterday, so the assumption is that the crossover episode is going to happen, right? Not according to creator Greg Berlanti.

A reporter from CBR was among a group of journalists who spoke with Berlanti yesterday, and someone asked him whether initial discussions have occurred about a possible crossover between the two shows. Berlanti responded:

"No, only because we just received the pick up. Not at this point."

I find it sort of hard to believe that "initial discussions" haven't even taken place about the idea yet, considering all of the internet hype about it. Sure, it might not be a done deal, but they haven't even talked about it at all? That seems unlikely to me. It's worth noting, though, that Berlanti's language doesn't indicate that a crossover won't ever happen, just that the conversations needed to make it happen haven't taken place...yet. So we'll see if a crossover ends up happening anyway, possibly during sweeps week in May to boost ratings. It would certainly get a lot of press, so it seems inevitable that it'll happen at some point.
