As CBS moves forward with the
Supergirl series they have in development, fans have been wondering if Kara will exist in the same universe as The CW's
Arrow and
The Flash. CBS co-owns The CW and executive producer
Greg Berlanti is behind all three series, so it seemed a natural fit.
CW president Mark Pedowitz said he was open to a cohesive universe between the three and
Berlanti said that in putting himself in the mind of a viewer that he would want to see that. Adding, "But we have to get so many things right to make a good show and so much of it is luck, unfortunately."
At today's TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour, Presdent of CBS Nina Tassler seemed less inclined to join forces with the already-existing series. "Well, those two shows [The Flash and Arrow] are on a different network," Tassler said. "So I think we'll keep Supergirl to ourselves for awhile."
As far as who may step in to play the iconic character, Tassler said, "When you've got a brand like that, it'd be great to have somebody new."
One question that's been asked repeatedly is: What makes Supergirl a good fit for CBS?
To that, Tassler cites her role in the development of Lois and Clark for ABC. "These are human dramas," she reflected. "And in terms of the public, there are so many superheroes portrayed in film. And there's been an evolution in regards to the way they are portrayed. They have humanity, they're flawed."
As far as Supergirl herself is concerned, Tassler describes the character as "infinitely relatable" and the show a "great adventure" series. The network head says it was the pitch that ultimately sold them on the series.
"It's a wonderful amalgamation of the mythology of the character with a coming of age tale," she explained. "She's a very strong, independent young woman and she's coming into her own. She's dealing with family issues. She's dealing with work issues. And it's a female-empowerment story, which if you look at the strong female characters we have on the air, it really is resonate to that."
