Supergirl is set to air this fall on CBS, and with that comes an interesting dilemma in that its airtime is the same as DC’s Gotham, which airs on FOX. Fans aren’t sure why this happened, as this will affect both shows ratings in almost any way you look at it. However, Supergirl Producer Greg Berlanti said he’s not worried at all.
“I very much enjoy ‘Gotham,'” Berlanti told Deadline Saturday, “I would watch both shows.” Maybe call it a rising tide to raise all caped ships. “Both shows originate from the DC universe, but they’re quite different and my sense is they’ll both live very successfully.”
Well, it’s good that he’s positive about it, but it’ll be up to the fans to see just how well this works. Meanwhile, he also talked about Arrow and Flash, and how the crossover events (which are said to now become an annual thing) actually helps prove how close these two “worlds” really are.
Berlanti continued: “I feel like it’s important that we address (gender issues) because it’s always important to try and figure out a way, narratively, to talk about what the audience is going to be talking about. Hopefully then there’s an even more intimate relationship between the show and the people who are watching.”
Supergirl premieres this fall on CBS. Gotham will also return for its new season this fall on FOX.
