>Kathy/Kate Kane and her alter ego, Batwoman, will appear on Supergirl as a recurring role. She will be Maggie Sawyer’s ex, whose adventures as Batwoman occasionally take her to National City. Barbara Gordon will also appear as Oracle (mostly so as not to have Batwoman AND Batgirl). Babs will develop a strong friendship with Kara, Supergirl. The Oracle/Batwoman relationship is being modeled after the original Chuck Dixon Era Birds Of Prey, but with Kathy/Kate as the operative instead of Dinah.
>Batman himself is still tied to the Gotham deal at Fox, but Fox has been approached to share the character for a fee. It would likely only be economically feasible if an actor playing Bruce Wayne and Batman were made a series regular across the whole network to defer the licensing costs to Fox. Fox obtained the Batman and Gotham TV rights as part of a deal that included giving Warner Bros the go ahead to release Batman ’66 on DVD. Even if Gotham were to end, they would retain rights as long as the DVDs were being sold.
>John Wesley Shipp will be the third actor who will become a series regular across the whole CW DC Universe, after Wentworth Miller and John Barrowman. He will (obviously) be playing Jay Garrick, not Henry Allen.
>Matt Ryan could get a similar deal as the network tests the streaming audience of Constantine as well as his appearances on the network this upcoming season. The Vampire Diaries is ending after this season and the network wants to keep Fridays as their horror night, probably pairing a Constantine-led series with workhorse Supernatural, which gets decent ratings whatever time slot it is moved to. iZombie is also seen as strong enough to lead Fridays with Supernatural if need be.
This I don't want to believe that only to realise it's wrong, it sounds too perfect
Bentley Cooper
Please be true
Austin Harris
That sounds too good to be true for Supergirl, though I guess it makes sense if they're losing Wynn's actor in the move?
Christopher Bell
>it's a Bleeding Cool plays with our hearts only to later crush them episode
Christian Martinez
also maggie sawyer was recently cast on supergirl
Landon Hughes
>Batwoman and Oracle for Supergirl >effectively meaning the two of them for DCCW
yeah no
I'm not buying this for a second.
Has BC made any other predictions about CW stuff?
Also, Jay Garrick as a "universe" regular makes no sense. He only has ties to Flash and *maybe* Legends (due to JSA). But not Arrow at all, which would make it a stretch.
Ryder Stewart
At least it's a change from "Arrow's cast and crew make promises about the show only to shit the bed 3 episodes in" season
Benjamin Ortiz
John Barrowman makes no sense as a universe regular either, but here we are
John Cooper
First off, Batwoman sucks and replaced Huntress for no good reason. Second, Constantine should be on a network like AMC to do any justice
Isaac Cook
Now he can appear in other people's secret bases on a constant basis!
Eli Wood
But Barrowman is/was a Ra's al Ghul type of figure. As a purveyor of knowledge and secrets, it'd make sense for him to show up everywhere and be an annoying cunt. Plus, I think(?) he knows Barry is the Flash; and certainly, his knowledge of past stuff will come in handy to the fuckwits that make of the Legends of Tomorrow team.
Jay Garrick -- that is, Earth-3 Jay Garrick -- makes little sense in that regard. I mean, maybe for the following season (2017-18), he could be a regular. But right now, he has no ties to anyone except Barry.
Jason Cook
He makes more sense desu, Ras al Ghul could do any number of things that would draw the ire of heroes other than GA. Similarly, Captain Cold could just steal something in Star City or National City.
Kevin Perry
I want his Merlyn to show up in the Batcave only to have his robot hand cut off by the multiverse's most arrogant twelve year old with a katana and animal menagerie.
Kevin Cook
So how will Felicity upstage Batwoman?
Jordan Moore
Watch several earths get merged because of Barry's time fuckery and the fixing of that fuckery.
Sebastian White
Bullshit, they barely can use Superman now, they aren't going to bring an actual Batchar. ...also that woud kill my Alex/Maggie shipping...
Parker Gray
Wait, Winn is gone? FUCK YEEEAAAAHHH
David Richardson
Maggie and Kate are broken up and living in different cities
Alex could still date Maggie, with love triangle drama
Brody Martinez
oh wow thanks! I'll put these right next to my "Sean Bean and Eva Green are Ares and Circe in the Wonder Woman movie" rumor
Brody Cooper
>Citation needed
Samuel Edwards
>Batwoman
MOTHER OF SWEET FUCKING GOD. PLEASE CAST CHRISTINA HENDRICKS.. Also give us Miss Martian.
Ryan Edwards
Sean Bean makes sense for Ares He already played Odysseus and Zeus
Caleb Walker
Miss Martian is going to appear eventually since they've already established her uncle and white martians.
Connor Smith
I'm going to choose to believe these because I have nothing else to keep me going.
Also the possibility of Babs blowing Felicity the fuck out is fucking incredible
Cameron Roberts
>tfw want to be hyped but Rich is going to destroy my dreams once again.
Kayden Flores
Kinda disappointed. What about our queen Felicity?
Cameron White
So, Felicity is gonna be Batman, right?
Noah Gomez
>Another nuke situation >Babs stops it without breaking a sweat >Felicity kills herself thinking about how her incompetence killed thousands
Please
Kayden Anderson
It's bullshit. Bleeding Cool's track record with DCTV scoops is awful. Remember the 12 ARROW teases from season 3?
Logan Kelly
If it's true it's all good news.
Alexander Barnes
I would be very surprised if EBR was allowed any screen time on any of the other shows at this point, even during the big crossovers.
Arrow has been unofficially sequestered from the other the shows.
Wyatt Campbell
Source?
Samuel Wright
His dreams.
Sebastian Ramirez
There's been a distinct lack of hype compared to the other three shows. I'm not going to profess insider knowledge, but it's a bit jarring when the biggest name Arrow gets this season is Mad Dog.
Lucas Morgan
When has Arrow ever gotten big names? Other than Green Arrow-related characters, the only characters who aren't D-listers are Deathstroke and the Atom.
Dominic Ramirez
Oh, and Ras of course.
Liam Perez
Huntress, two Black Canaries, Constantine, The Flash, Suicide Squad...
I get what you're saying, but this feels different. There's no embargo anymore, just Johns.
Isaiah Fisher
What's Cumberpatch doing there?
Zachary Bailey
>There's no embargo anymore
Yes, there is.
Mason Russell
>[Citation Needed]
Caleb Hall
>fox has batman for as long as they sell the batman 66 dvds
holy shit
Kayden Wood
I was just just speculating. Seems like they're playing coy on who will/won't be back for good.
Luke Wilson
Johns basically did shit on Arrow. Makes you wonder.
Carter Sanchez
>Makes you wonder. Nah, I'd shit on Arrow to given a chance.
Aiden Bennett
>get hype as fuck for all of these >Bleeding Cool god dammit
Carson Ward
Don't scare me like that
Wyatt Morgan
I'll give you Huntress and the Squad. Black Canary is canonically involved with GA. Constantine was a crossover. Flash was setting up his own show.
Dominic Gomez
I want this so hard. Time erase felicishit pls
Samuel Edwards
>He will (obviously) be playing Jay Garrick, not Henry Allen.
Eh It'd have been cool to find out Henry had a history of working with Rip and maybe had a hand in making the lighting strike his son.
Cooper Green
Why? That wouldn't make sense.
Andrew Peterson
but "bleeding cool" and "rumors" are both literally in the title
it's your fault for not reading
Gavin Reyes
not watching until felicity dies
Gavin Morales
Well Felicity is like two universes away from Supergirl's universe...just sayin'
Logan Fisher
This thread isn't exclusive to Supergirl. It has an Arrow thumbnail ffs
Joseph Bennett
so never
Nathaniel Gray
100% fabricated click bait from the Bleeding Fool. If you send them a "scoop" they will post it as fact for clicks. I know. This morning I sent him this made up scoop which his dumb ass posted as truth. It's fun to screw with Rich.
Anthony Turner
Nah, she has a thing for Lord.
Camden Ross
Nah, Lord is not only a murderer but one that really, really spend most of the season wanting to kill Kara. It literally makes zero sense for a character like Alex that not only really loves her sister but that also was pretty much indoctrinated into protecting her at all cost to end up having a romance with him...oh wait i forgot this is going to be on the CW, carry on then...
James Thompson
He's never really liked Ollie. Honestly I think he likes GA less than Batman, which is saying something.
Angel King
I get the feeling they no longer want Arrow to be the anchor show the spin off from anymore. Now that they know the real cash cows are Flash and soon to be Supergirl. They know the show's best days (and therefore spinoff potential) are behind them. Which is sort of unfortunate since Arrow was got me into all the other shows, and I do still have a fondness for Ollie/Diggle/Roy/Thea etc.
Angel Ramirez
Please, please, please, please...
Jonathan Fisher
I don't believe you. Make up a scoop and post it here. Send it to them and when it is reported make a thread with the article and a cap of the post with the fake story you plan.
William Phillips
>This morning I sent him this made up scoop prove it
Elijah Watson
Objectively best Earth, it just happens to host a terrible show.
Asher Davis
You cannot logically have Batwoman and Oracle in the CWverse without Batman already existing. If Batman eventually shows up, please give him a good costume. None of that all black armor bullshit. A grey and black suit would be great as well as ears that are not ridiculously long. We finally got a great batsuit in the movies. Don't want the TV shows fucking it up.
Sebastian Nelson
>Batwoman on Supergirl
That's fucking cool.
Angel Robinson
So Supergirl can get Barry if they fork over the money to Fox. >Batman >Superman coming >Martian Manhunter already >Flash crossover coming >Green Arrow crossover coming
Hell that's 5 members for a tv Justice League.
Nolan Rogers
>Gray and black >Not gray and blue with trunks Kill yourself
Levi Cooper
vandal savage said that he killed batman and superman in legends of tomorrow
Elijah Taylor
I don't think he was actually talking about them, he was just being poetic.
Logan Gray
Johns loves Green Arrow, the character. He only shat on Arrow because Guggenheim fucked the Oliver-Dinah relationship.
Also, now that Johns is in charge, I cant wait for "Death of Felicity"
Andrew Fisher
He also wrote for Arrow's first two seasons.
Nathaniel Morales
Pictured: Willa, and gays
Andrew Edwards
Exactly
Matthew Sanders
...
Brandon Jones
I still dont get what they even mean by saying "universe regular". Like they split time between all the shows but dont have a fixed long term role in any one show?
Leo Gutierrez
That's my guess too.
Gabriel Cruz
Can we just all take a step back and realize that in our lifetime, we will watch a four-show crossover between not-Superman, not-Batman, the Flash and the Superfriends?
I never though this day would come.
Lincoln Wilson
This is gold. It's also something they would say.
Caleb Mitchell
There's one more page. Injustice threads are always fun
Isaac Rodriguez

Camden Collins
>PLEASE CAST CHRISTINA HENDRICKS.. She could really look fine in a skintight suit?
Blake Brown
It is with a heavy heart I must inform you that there isn't enough love for Olicity in your comments. Try re-posting your comments with something more Olicity-positive in it... something along the lines of 'olicity is love', 'felicity
James Moore
Imagine! >Felicity gets recruited into LoT >Now Felicity can be in every CW show at the same time >rename it the Felicitiverse
Owen Hughes
>My name is Oliver Queen. After two good seasons, Felicity has arrived with only one goal: to hijack my show. But to do that, I can't be the interesting character I once was. To prop up the quirky hacker girl, I must become someone else. I must become something else. >I am ... Felicity's boyfriend.
Kevin Martinez
Please. Please. Please let this all be true, please. I'll forgive what they did to Arrow if they can just make this all happen.
Ryder Scott
..Is that a real shirt?
Jaxon Martin
That's parts gotta be total bullshit. No way would Fox make a Batman lite series if they could actually use fucking Batman.
Isaiah Brown
>Percy Jackson What happened?
Henry Rivera
They are using Batman. This may surprise you but that kid Bruce Wayne is Batman.
Brayden Baker
No they're fucking not. Just like back in the day Smallville wasn't allowed to use Superman until the final episode (and even then only for a few seconds) despite the series being about Clark Kent.
I'll believe Fox owns the rights to Batman when something official comes out or they actually use the name/show him as Batman.
Angel Rodriguez
>Is that a real shirt? Of course. Everyone loves Felicity.
Ian Williams
Please lets this be true. Batwoman and Oracle on Supergirl. Jay Garrick and Constantine appearing in every show just like Merlyn and Captain Cold. Constantine gets Friday slot. Batman is around. Superman is around. TV DC would be so based if this shit happened. Already like what they're doing but jesus this would be a full improvement.
Jack Williams
This sounds amazing. Hope they work a deal with Fox to make this happen.
