Sure, a trace, a bit, a little.
But it's a movie/show about a person with superpowers..... How effing logical can it all be? It's entertainment. I see enough realworld logic every day, all day. Let entertainment be silly sometimes and defy logic.
I don't see how it's pedantic to say that I'm confused by something. I just don't understand the logic of wanting to pretend that something that's clearly fictional is actually happening outside our doors somewhere. It puzzles me. And given that we already watch and accept so many different simultaneous alternate fictional realities, I don't understand why having The Flash and Supergirl in parallel Earths would diminish either one. I'm the one in the dark about that attitude, and I admit that ignorance, so how does that constitute claiming a superior position?
Best friend becomes baddie is a reocurring motiff with Greg.
Tommy seemed like the Dark Archer for 5 seconds, and Deathstroke's inner Deathstroke stroked out not a moment too soon, while Laurels attempts to be the badgirl with a law degree were just darling.
Wells is not your surrogate father, he's the baddie, and the second that Caitlin smiles, her inner evil is going to turn Central City into a tundra.

Winslow Schott is Kara's best friend in the TV series.

Only because adults insist on Santa being real and keep inforcing that believe until they can not anymore.
Most kids find out the truth on their own once their critical thinking skills are developed enough.
If the existence of Santa wasn't so easily falsifiable you could probably keep a lot if people believing it well into adulthood.
A social experiment with enforcing a believe in real world heroes like Superman and Spider-Man for as long as possible might be very enlightening. Very very wrong and cruel.... But enlightening.
Scientology comes to mind.
It might puzzle you, but the history of western fiction would seem to suggest it's a pretty normal human desire.
Going back to the invention of the novel, plenty of works of fiction begin with prologues and frames intended to establish the story as something that "really" happened. Tom Jones, Robinson Crusoe, and so on. The nineteenth-century novel is dominated by realism, which is all about establishing the reality of the fiction. Modernism in the twentieth century is born out of a similar impulse. Almost all the early science fiction stories, including Frankenstein, do something similar; ones that take place in the future often have manuscripts somehow falling back in time to keep that veneer of "this will happen."
Obviously not every work does it, but it's pretty hard to argue that it's an unusual impulse that readers/viewers want to imagine that works of fiction take place in their world.

There's nothing wrong with silly or logic-defying at times, but for me I still prefer shows and movies that at least try to make their superheroes look fairly believable and realistic within their worlds.
And yeah, for me one of the main appeals since I was a kid was imagining what it would be like to live in a world where these superheroes actually existed.
Sorry, I had no idea that was such a strange and bizarre fantasy to have, or something that needed to be deconstructed and over-analyzed to the nth degree.
Hmm, just saw this. Still no talk of storyline crossovers, but there will be "crossover promotions". Whatever that means.

It isn't. The tagline of Superman (1978) was "You'll believe a man can fly" for a reason.
I think I'm more excited to see Non myself. Even though I'm sure he won't look anything like he did in the Donner movies.
Not to mention the volume of letters that still make their way to 221B Baker Street in search of Sherlock Holmes, over a century after Conan Doyle wrote his novels; the pseudo-biographies of characters like Holmes or James Bond that have been published; the use of real historical or political figures in films like Contact, Forrest Gump, Die Hard 4 or even a Margaret Thatcher impersonator in a Bond movie of that era.
Red Tornado is not a Superman derivative character to my knowledge (unless you count what they did in Earth 2).
It would be interesting if the producers did a stealth crossover; Earth 2 characters appearing on both shows as travelers from a parallel world. It wouldn't back the writers in a corner; Earth 2 heroes could be visiting two different realities as easily as one.
I'm not entirely sure, but if I had to guess I would think that means we'll see commercials for Flash/Arrow/DCLoT during episodes of Supergirl and vice-versa.
I would personally look at all of that as more an example of 'fictionalizing' the real world than trying to give the fiction a real-world 'foundation', but to each their own.
I don't think they have a superman licence but rather a more vague "DC Universe license" with us from outside having to guess who is off-limits.
