It looks like neither Krysten Ritter or Melissa Benoist got the memo about the DC/Marvel rivalry. Ritter took to Instagram yesterday to show support for her friend Melissa Benoist and her show “Supergirl.” It turns out that Ritter has known Melissa since she first arrived in LA. She had some nice things to say about Melissa Benoist and her role as Supergirl. Check it out below.
“Had a second to get caught up on my non #jessicajones TV and wanted to give a special shout out to my girl @melissabenoist ! I’ve been a big fan of hers since she first landed in LA. I met her early on when I was casting a show that I was producing and it was clear even then, fresh off the boat, that she was poised to be a big star. I’m so proud and happy for her for landing a part that she totally shines in. Funny, strong, adorable, and radiant! Congrats fellow superhero lady! Much love!”
Of course Supergirl herself had to return the gesture and show some support for Ritter. She responded with the following:
Just made my day @Krystenritter ❤️sending love right back to you. Binged #JessicaJones and 😲 it's insanely badass & you are way too talented

There you have it folks. Friendships can cross battle lines even if those lines have been drawn by DC and Marvel.
