Ever since it was announced that The Flash and Supergirl would be crossing over for a musical episode, fans have been eagerly awaiting to find out the reason why. Which villain could make the heroes of Central City and National City break into song?! Now, we have our answer.
“It is going to be the Music Meister,” executive producer Greg Berlanti told reporters while promoting his upcoming drama Riverdale at the Television Critics Association’s press tour on Sunday. “We’re finishing writing the script this weekend.”
A villain with the power to control people through song, The Music Meister was famously brought to life in the animated series Batman: The Brave and the Bold. In the episode “Mayhem of the Music Meister,” Neil Patrick Harris voiced the villain. Could he reprise that role in real life for the crossover? “We haven’t gone about casting it yet,” Berlanti says. “But it’s the right question, though.”
Practically the entire cast of The Flash has musical talents, including Grant Gustin and Jesse L. Martin, as well as the Supergirl cast, including Melissa Benoist and Jeremy Jordan.
“Some of you may know my own personal love of musicals and actors who have been in them, and we have a number of people who can sing across all the shows who will be making some very exciting appearances in the back half of the year,” Berlanti previously said when the musical crossover was announced.
Supergirl returns Monday, Jan. 23 at 8 p.m. ET, while The Flash returns Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
Myx is going to be on Supergirl, he already got the actor for it
Daniel Sullivan
I wonder if they'll break the 4th wall at all. Can't wait to see how she tricks him into saying his name backwards
Elijah Ross
If there's a Bat-Mite cameo or nod the show has completely redeemed itself
Adrian James
He's based on The Fiddler, a classic Flash (Jay Garrick) villain.
Brayden Ward
Season 2 is pretty great though. Serious at times but campy and fun. Also, dat parasite.
Nolan Peterson
Can't wait and getting Harris might be nice aswell because I liked his voice. Maybe we even got some really good new songs
Evan Hughes
The Music Meister sings the song that the world wants to hear.
Kevin Morris
Yeah, but how can Music Meister cross universes?
Jason Smith
Maybe his singing is powerful to disrupt the vibrations of the universe and open up a portal? The more mundane explanation is he takes one of Cisco's inventions.
Justin Williams
i hope they get rachel bloom to write the music
Daniel Allen
HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT'S HAPPENING
Luis Bell
I'm worried they'll go the Smallville route and just make him a normal villain of the week with just the name.
Austin Miller
>tfw reading this while listening to his intro song
Zolomon is apparently also making a comeback as Black Flash.
I wonder if he'll keep his ridiculous Zoom voice.
Leo Bennett
>ridiculous
I will fight you.
Ryder Ortiz
Yeah, but DC still owns him.
He also showed up in Lego Batman 3 and even was referred to in Arkham Knight.
Alexander Sullivan
Yeah, it's definitely time to drop flash.
Adrian Lewis
This is going to be the absolute worst episode of the series
>"oh Grant knows how to sing! So let's have him sing on the show!" Stupidest reason to do it. Had nothing to do with the narrative or the character arcs of the season, just "Grant can sing! make a musical!!" I'm sure Grant can take a shit too. Do we want a 2-part crossover of Flash shitting on a toilet also? I mean, Grant is probably good at it! Don't let the talent go to waste!
David Taylor
You're literally sperging out over nothing. Why don't you wait until it airs before throwing a tantrum?
Gavin Bennett
>Had nothing to do with the narrative or the character arcs of the season
You don't know that. It's on the tail end of the season, after 8 or so episodes of development we don't know about yet.
Jordan Richardson
Because it's a fucking musical episode, you giant faggot retard.
Carson Bailey
No
because it's fucking stupid
Christian Perry
>have 2 shows full of musical theatre graduates >like 5 of them were on broadway
you're right, a musical is ridiculous and definitely only for grant--who is, by all indication, one of the LEAST musically-inclined people on the cast (and that should tell you something about the rest). Joe's actor was on broadway and cisco's actor is a fucking CAREER MUSICIAN
Nathaniel Wright
...
Grayson Martin
cry more.
Chase Ortiz
It's not a musical show man
Julian Morris
God forbid a show about The Flash--historically one of DC's most shenanigan-oriented main titles--have, GASP, FUN.
Christopher Edwards
That's a really cool design
Ryan Bailey
You're the one crying though. He was just saying how ridiculously faggy you were being
Thomas Williams
>“It is going to be the Music Meister,” >“But it’s the right question, though.” >NPH might actually play a live action Music Meister Based fucking Berlanti.
Andrew Evans
What a tremendous faggot while also being a wet blank stick in the mud. You will henceforth be known as faggot wet blanket in the mud.
