Berlanti takes a hands-on approach to all of the shows in his stable, and over the years has assembled a trusted team to help him execute — Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg and Ali Adler, among them — which DC Comics chief content officer Geoff Johns jokingly calls his “Justice League.”
“Honestly, I’m so reliant on others,” Berlanti says. “It’s the long-term relationships I’ve had that allow me to do multiple things, because you have a shorthand with these people.”
With a total of six shows now in production — the Debra Messing vehicle “Mysteries of Laura” on NBC, along with the CW’s hits “Arrow” (starring Stephen Amell) and “The Flash” (headlined by Grant Gustin), not to mention his upcoming feature “Pan” (due in October) — he’ll need superpowers of his own to manage his staggering workload.

Really sending a mixed message with that whole,"they're not crossing over anytime soon."

ReplyDeleteI saw this on reddit. Where is Ollie?
aw poor Oliver LOL
ReplyDeleteMeh shows them he's probably off somewhere not nearly being killed.
ReplyDeleteIs it really mixed? they haven't officially said anything against it, or even Blackbirds (Titans), so there's a DEFINITE chance that they could cross over.
ReplyDeleteNo they have. Berlanti, and the CBS president have said it won't happen soon.
ReplyDeleteYeah "soon" not EVER so there's definitely a chance, even Stephen Amell didn't deny wen asked on the possibility on crossovers between Supergirl (that trailer was strange but still seeing the show) and Blackbirds.
ReplyDeleteI don't know when this photoshoot took place but I assume Stephen was too busy. He pretty much went from The Tonight Show to the convention circuit with a brief stop for the CW Upfronts. Now I think he's in the UK doing the convention circuit there.
ReplyDeleteGrant and Melissa aren't as busy as Stephen is...yet.
It won't happen in season one most likely.
ReplyDeleteNo one is as busy as Stephen.
ReplyDeleteThat must've been tiring. I heard Jared was all depressed after going to a convention.
ReplyDeleteYeah probably not, after all Supergirl needs to set up their world
ReplyDeleteNot DC but how is the animated Guardians of the Galaxy TV Show not part of the MCU if the show takes place after the movie? It's very confusing
ReplyDeleteThe movie is in 2 continuities. The events happened in the MCU and veer off in one direction while the same events happened in the MAU and veered off in another direction.
ReplyDeleteWow well that's just plain weird LOL, thanks
ReplyDeleteAnytime :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to work out when Hulk And The Agents Of S.M.A.S.H. takes place (I think it's in the future?). Plus the producers have mentioned that Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes is also in the continuity which just adds a whole bunch of other problems...but explains how everyone knows who Ultron is...
He busily saving the world while The Flash and supergirl have time for a photo shoot

Cute over
ReplyDeleteOliver is busy cosplaying as Casey Jones with a hockey mask.
ReplyDeleteWhat they're doing to Arrow is child abuse at this point :(
ReplyDeleteI'll choose to believe that Arrow is not included because Stephen is busy.
At least they didn't include LoT.
If you look at it Arrow's the older sibling and Flash is the newborn baby, then The Flash'll be the middle child after LoT
ReplyDeleteBerlanti is a buzy buzy man. Arrow, Flash, SG, TMO Laura, Blindspot and LoT.
ReplyDeleteIt's a neat cover. Can't wait for tonights Flash episode.
The Flash will continue to be a spoiled child. It's the CW's number 1 show. This continues lack of promoting Arrow is really disrespectful to Stephen and the fans who stood by the show during the mess that was season 3B (except for a few episodes).
ReplyDeleteHonestly I think the only reason LoT was not featured is because it's an ensemble show with several big names. There is no way of choosing only one character/actor to represent it without causing trouble.
I don't think they could at this point. In SG's world they show pictures of Superman. Youd think one of the people on the Flash or Arrow would've mentioned a flying alien;)
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think season 3 was awful, but I'm still here;) Arrow started it all, you'd think he'd get a little respect.
ReplyDeleteJust because they don't mention it doesn't mean it's not there
ReplyDeleteIt would just be weird that the whole world knows about Superman, but nobody has ever mentioned it on either show. Like Iris, for example. She investigates meta humans, but hasn't mentioned the most powerful well known one? It would just be hard to explain.
ReplyDeleteIn the Season 2.5 comics Oliver mentioned Superman to Helena and she asked what's a superman and Oliver said it's an inside joke. Marc was probably just joking around but everything that happens in the tie in comics is cannon. So if Helena doesn't know what "a Superman" is then it's safe to say he doesn't exist.
ReplyDeleteThere wouldn't be any of this if it hadn't been for Arrow's success and its fans always talking about it and its universe.
ReplyDeleteLol. That's true. Unless it's some kind of tie to Crisis on Infinite Earths (as hinted by the red sky crisis in Eobard's newspaper) and somehow the Earth's fuse forming a new one, or Barry with the help of Cisco/Vibe crosses universes. Or no one cares. Kinda hope it's the last one since that'd be funny.
ReplyDeleteBerlanti does have a golden touch and is very buzy. I am already watching Arrow and Flash. This season I have 3 of his new shows in my list. The only one I am not interested is Laura. Keep up the great work Mr. Berlanti.
ReplyDeleteArrow was mentioned several times in the article itself. I am sure of Stephen was available they would have included him in the photo shoot. Stephen is too busy now with TMNT2 and his cons. But CW's disregard for Arrow is really grating.
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right and I wouldn't be this upset about this if it wasn't just the latest injustice done to Arrow.
ReplyDeleteCW clearly treats Arrow unfairly when it comes to promotional dept. But I had no issue with the above article. They gave the respect Arrow deserved in that. I am sure that photo shoot must have happened in LA and Stephen was extremely busy in New York. The poor guy hardly gets to sleep.
ReplyDeleteSee logically I know all that, it's my heart that has a hard time catching up.
ReplyDeleteLOL @Ollie
ReplyDeleteMy original comment got deleted. Really? Was it that offensive?!
ReplyDeleteI get it Koks. I get it. Had they not mentioned Arrow in the article I would have been pissed. But that was a good article spanning Berlanti's whole career.
ReplyDeleteI am already struggling with Arrow withdrawal and I can't even haunt tumblr because tumblr is going through fandom meltdown and ugliness early this hiatus. I want new spoilers to discus :'(
Koky!!! Mind your language young lady.
ReplyDeleteYeah sorry about that. I just can't stop cursing and making inappropriate jokes.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are reading into this way too much. CW heavily promotes Arrow as much as it does Flash, so it is EXTREMELY unfair to fault the network in that regard, and Arrow gets its fair share of coverage from other media. But the truth is that Flash bumped CW up to the next level, so other media will focus more on Flash than any other CW show; and Supergirl has the potential to attract the much-needed newer younger core audience to CBS, which is why the focus is on that show.
ReplyDeleteBut to say that Arrow gets slighted by other media is not an honest assessment of reality. Amell is constantly in the entertainment news and the overwhelming bulk of it is Arrow coverage. This site, TV Line, ET Online, and other online media sites give as much Arrow coverage as Flash. In fact, the argument COULD be made that the DC (and CW specifically) superhero shows get disproportionally greater coverage than other network's hit shows. Barely a day goes by when there isn't at least one Arrow or Flash media story or video. Agents of Shield doesn't get that kind of coverage. Daredevil, which is critically-acclaimed by media and fans alike, doesn't get that kind of coverage. The #1 show Walking Dead doesn't get that kind of coverage.
My guess is that CW and the Arrow family are very happy with the media coverage they receive, and if Supergirl explodes the way Flash did, that will increase the coverage Arrow gets as well as any show based in the Flarrow Universe.
No. CW in no way slights Arrow, in any form. It promotes Arrow equally as much as it does Flash. We normally agree on a lot of issues, but not on this one.
ReplyDeleteMuch larger SFX budget on CBS, and CBS needs to start attracting a younger audience. Win-win for all parties involved. The showrunners already have stated that they couldn't afford to do the show if not on CBS.
ReplyDeleteIn tone, I agree, it does. But budget wise there is no way they'd be able to afford it...
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you completely. Clearly we'll never see eye to eye on this issue so let's agree to disagree.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly my problem. They are promoting the already over hyped shows and ignoring the shows that need more attention.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Berlanti really wants to mix Supergirl into the Flarrow world. CBS is full of morons. Just being part of a "join universe" makes the show even more apealing. Right now i'm on the fence about watching the show; being part of Flarrow would make me change for "not interested" to "will watch the first half of the season".
ReplyDeleteI think it will end up crossing over at some point. It's kinda stupid considering it's from the same producers. If CW and NBC had a chat about crossing over with Constantine, then this is a no-brainer.
If I didn't know better I might think it was a Supergirl shoot that Barry/ Grant photobombed, but....
ReplyDeleteI think this cover is the closest thing to a crossover that we're ever going to see...
ReplyDeletewell said.
ReplyDeleteNo we won't agree, because there is no proof to back up your unsubstantiated claims regarding the network's lack of equal promotion of the two shows. This one lone week out of the year when Arrow already has ended its season while Flash still has one episode to air doesn't count.
ReplyDeleteStephen Amell tweeted that "they asked me, but i was on the wrong Coast."
ReplyDeletei was a little sad at the first moment, but after that i was so happy for Greg berlanti. he deserved it and Grant too. his show has the most viewer on the CW.
Wow. I really think we should let Supergirl get established in its own right before demanding crossovers with the CW superheroes. It's a near-certainty that Supergirl will do well enough on CBS to warrant a second season. And if Supergirl ends up being a hit for CBS, does anyone really think the network would resist a crossover episode with ANY of the CW superheroes — especially Arrow and/or Flash? The 18-49 demo ratings for that episode would be through the roof, and that's what CBS ultimately cares about. Ratings, ratings, ratings, and the potential rising advertising fees that go with them.
ReplyDeleteThe second Supergirl promo (which currently is hard to find online) ditched the pop soundtrack and replaced it with the orchestra opera style common to the Flarrow shows. The crossovers will happen, it's just a matter of how soon after the initial Supergirl season.
I will say that it is very possible that the first (or first few) crossovers will happen on CBS before Supergirl appears on CW. Maybe some Starling City or Central City cameos in National City before a true CBS/CW two-episode crossover.
(Rolls eyes at this cover) Here we go again, using our badass show to help promote another new show.. smh It's just getting sad now. Let Supergirl promote itself. And if it fails so be it, i don't see why he has to be the one to "sweep in and save the day." I swear his head gets bigger by the second.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching the promos, it looked worse than i imagined (And i was already deeply on the fence about it, was hoping the promo would change my mind) I'm only giving it a trial run, and i definitely don't want it crossing over in the least bit. Let it stay where it is. I don't want her face in my shows at all. I'd rather it try and be a success on it's own two feet first then coming onto our shows and trying to get a "rise for ratings" after an early crossover. Let's see it Supergirl can make it to season 2 w/o bringing in the "A team" to help them do it.
ReplyDeleteWas Arrow picked up after Ostroff's reign? If yes then the show might not have been picked up if she kept the job.
ReplyDeleteI think if it does well in ratings CBS might get all arrogant and keep it away from crossing over.
ReplyDeleteGood! Then again, if they didn't do it b/c it's ratings were high, it would prove my point even more. Shrugs. No skin off my back.
ReplyDeleteI disagree. The amount of 1 min promos and posters released for Flash versus those released for Arrow is evidence enough. But there was no slight towards Arrow in this article. It was about Greg Berlanti and every one of his shows were equally mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThat alternate universe you speak about where Arrow and the Flash get equal treatment sounds really nice.
ReplyDeleteIm sorry who is ostroff?
ReplyDeleteThe old President of CW. She likes shows about rich white girls that's why she tried to kill both Smallville and Supernatural by putting on Fridays. Supernatural survived though.
ReplyDeleteLol oh well that explains a lot about the old CW shows then! But I think it might have been in development when she was still there because I rememeber everyone thinking it was gonna have the same green arrow as smallville but it didn't run until that Peter guy took over
ReplyDelete
