@ukbobboy As I said in other thread on here must have missed your post, lets hope he does role justice. About time we actually got to see Superman on screen especially as they keep mentioning him and giving blurs or cgi. Looking forward to season one finale tonight.

Hi Mark
I just had a quick chat with my son about the new CW Superman, we concluded (well, mainly me) that CW has a lot invested in their new actor and would not have chosen someone who could not carry the part. And if he does well in episodes 1 & 2 of Supergirl season 2 then there exist the potential for future crossovers, especially with the Flash and Green Arrow.
At the moment, some YouTubers are talking about a super hero gal-pal for Supergirl, with the Martian Manhunter's niece, Miss Martian (real name M'gann M'orzz), in the running. Personally, I like to see Supergirl team up with Vixen, after all that character already exist in the CW universe, has comparable powers but different enough to deal with magical villains that Supergirl would be vulnerable to.
All in all, CW has a rich variety of heroes and villains that they can mix and match over the coming season, I hope they have the finances for special effects to do each hero and villain justice because they certainly have the writing skills.

PS. My son and I agreed that Gotham has no place in the CW universe (I reminded my son that Gotham is made by Fox).

@ukbobboy I'd love to see Vixen appear with Supergirl as she's already been in Arrow, and of course it's always good to see the gorgeous Megalyn Echikunwoke who did a fantastic job playing her. Totally agree about Gotham although Robin Lord Taylor is superb as Penguin. As we've said before even more chance for good crossovers now Supergirl is on CW and looks set to film in Cnada next season.

Hi again Mark
Some bad news, I've found out that Megalyn Echikunwoke will not be playing Vixen in the new CW upcoming season of shows, the actress has signed a contract for something else. Instead CW are looking for another actress that will play an earlier incarnation of Vixen, an ancestor if you will.
The new (ancient) Vixen will be a regular on Legends of Tomorrow and will probably be the one that does the forthcoming crossovers.
