:ufdup: NOPE, that's not a good analogy!! Lana is a lot more important supporting chraacter/Love Interest for Clark/Superman/Superboy in the comics while Felicity is a minor irrelevant character for Oliver/Green Arrow.
Felicity is a Firestorm character at that. Only person she's important to is Ronnie and they haven't even met.

Green Arrow, The Flash, the Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl will not be acquiring another superfriend in the foreseeable future.

“We weren’t expecting to have four [superhero shows] this season,” The CW president Mark Pedowitz told TVLine on Thursday at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, referring to the Girl of Steel’s arrival. “Supergirlcame thanks to the parent company [CBS] bringing it over to the CW — ‘I said where can I sign up?’ — so at this time, there are no real discussions about any [additional] superhero characters.”

Pedowitz did leave the door open a crack, though, saying that if a peripheral character on an existing series “pops,” you “reexamine the situation. But at this time there are no discussions” — save for the just-announced animated CW seed seriesFreedom Fighters: The Ray, which in success a la Vixen could result in a live-action version of that yet-to-be-cast character visiting a CW show.

Other topics covered during the CW boss’ TCA appearance:

* Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and Supernatural all have 22-episode orders, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is back for 13 and Legends Season 2 currently has a 13-episode order which could grow. Returning midseason shows The Originals, The 100 and iZombie will be back for 13 episodes each, while Reign may get as many as 16.

* Asked to justify the renewal of low-rated Reign, Pedowitz said, “I like the idea of three queens.”

* Pedowitz admitted, “We made some mistakes” with Season 1 of Legends of Tomorrow. “We think this year we will correct it.”

* Pedowitz is under no illusion that Supergirl will pull the audience it did on a major broadcast network, but anticipates “it will probably be our No. 1 or No. 2 show” behind The Flash.

* Coming off Rachel Bloom’s TCA Award win, Pedowitz again touted Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Jane the Virgin as “quality programs,” adding that he hopes the former gets a (needed) viewership bump as the result of Netflix catch-ups.

* Asked for the status of the Friday the 13th series the CW had eyeballed as a possible pilot, Pedowitz said, “We are not developing it at this time.” Similarly, thedystopian take on Little Women is not moving forward. A small-screen version ofThe Notebook, meanwhile, is seeking new writers.

Additionally, a first look poster for Legends of Tomorrow‘s Vixen aka Amaya Jiwe (played by Maisie Richardson-Sellers) was released prior to The CW’s TCA arrival:

The masterminds behind The CW superhero shows Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl andLegends of Tomorrow unleashed a litany of announcements — a musical crossover! casting news! — during the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Thursday.

“One of the characters [on the four series] is going to be coming out,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed. EP Greg Berlanti added that it will be a “significant character.” (All signs are pointing to… Supergirl‘s *spoiler*!)

Other highlights from the session:

* New Supergirl series-regular Chris Wood will be playing Mon-El, who is in the Season 1 finale’s pod. Supergirl has also added Sharon Leal (Grimm, Hellcats) as Miss Martian.

* Legends of Tomorrow will introduce Lance Henriksen (Millennium) as Justice Society of America member Obsidian in Episode 5 of Season 2.

* In addition to Dr. Alchemy, The Flash‘s other Big Bad for Season 3 will be the speedster Savitar.

* “This is the last year of flashbacks” on Arrow, which will move to Russia, EP Marc Guggenheim confirmed. “It’s going to involve Oliver’s introduction into the Bratva. He’s basically recruited into this criminal organization. In the present day, he has recruits of his own. He’s a trainee in the past and a trainer in the present.”

* Speaking about whether actors from the other DC shows will appear in the Flash/Supergirl musical crossover, Berlanti acknowledged it was a possibility. “There’s a lot of time travel shows this year,” he said. “There’s only one time travel show where Victor Garber will be singing ‘Edelweiss’ to a bunch of Nazis. That is happening on [Legends].”

* Kevin Smith will direct an episode of Supergirl and another Flash installment.

The CW’s Superhero Shows to Feature Character ‘Exploring Sexuality and Coming Out’

"The character will appear in one of the four shows, though the panel did not reveal which series."


“One of the characters will be exploring their sexuality and coming out,” exec producer Andrew Kreisberg announced during the mega-superhero panel.


“It is a significant character,” Berlanti said. “We’re not trying to be coy about it…we just really want the audience to enjoy the character development and not be ahead of the storyline.”

Staying mum on details, exec producer Sarah Schehcter quipped, “It’s a man or a woman, and it’s on one of the four shows.”
