When “Supergirl” made the jump from CBS to the CW for season 2, it was also announced that Superman would be appearing in the season premiere. When the announcement was made many fans hoped to “Smallville” star Tom Welling put on the suit, but it wasn’t meant to be and Tyler Hoechlin took on the role.
Welling later confirmed that he did discuss the possibility of appearing as Superman, but ultimately it was decided that it wouldn’t work. However, when speaking to Nuke The Fridge about “The Flash” and the Multiverse, Welling said he has an idea on how to make it happen.
“I am willing to go on The Flash and I have a few ideas on how it can happen if the network asks me. In fact, I think I can make it happen.”
Even though “Supergirl” already has its own Superman, anything can happen on the CW’s DC shows thanks to the multiverse, so technically Welling could appear without ever crossing paths with Hoechlin’s version of the character.
Whether or not it will happen remains to be seen, but it’s clearly something the fans want to see.
“The Flash” season 4 will premiere on Tuesday, October 10.
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police Department. Barry’s life changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark-matter lightning storm that struck Barry, bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive — The Flash. But when Barry used his extraordinary abilities to travel back in time and save his mother’s life, he inadvertently created an alternate timeline known as Flashpoint; a phenomenon that gave birth to the villainous speed god known as Savitar, and changed the lives of Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) and Wally West (Keiyan Lonsdale) forever.
With the help of his adoptive father, Joe West (Jesse L. Martin), his lifelong best friend and love interest Iris West (Candice Patton), and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs — Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), C.S.I Julian Albert (Tom Felton), and an Earth-19 novelist named H.R. Wells (Tom Cavanaugh) — Barry continues to protect the people of Central City from the meta-humans that threaten it.
Based on the characters from DC, THE FLASH is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“Arrow,” “Supergirl”), Andrew Kreisberg (“Arrow,” “The Flash”), Sarah Schechter (“Arrow,” “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”) and Todd Helbing (“Black Sails”).
