When “The Flash” opened up a breach to Earth-2 they also introduced the “Arrowverse” to the multiverse. It’s a whole new world, or several whole new worlds so to speak, for the characters of “Arrow” and “The Flash” and fans have been hoping to see alternate versions of Oliver Queen and Barry Allen on “Supergirl” for quite some time.
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the fans are going to get what they want anytime soon. Producer Andrew Kreisberg recently spoke to IGN and he said that he doesn’t want to do it just to do it, and if it does happen it will have to tie in to the story somehow.
“The problem with that is it feels to us like if we do that once, we’re going to open the floodgates of insanity,” Kreisberg. “It’s like Supergirl’s over here, and it’s its own show. Technically speaking, it’s just another Earth, the same way Earth-2 is or Earth-3 or Earth-19. So technically speaking, there should be an Alex Danvers on Earth-1, or Earth Prime. But if we start doing that, I just feel like… Not that all hell hasn’t broken loose already, but unless we had a really good story for it…”
Kreisberg also added that it’s a slippery slope and once you start doing things like introducing alternate versions of main characters, it can easily spiral out of control.
So there you have it Flash and Green Arrow fans. Alternate versions of Barry and Oliver aren’t off the table for “Supergirl” but it seems unlikely that we’ll be seeing them before season 2 comes to an end.
