Spoilers The Flash - Season 2
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Maybe, but there have been several points during both shows where you would have expected some kind of onscreen mention, like when discussing the various metahumans or strange superpowers they've encountered. Especially from such jokey, pop culture-savvy characters as Felicity and Cisco. Not to mention all the news reports we've seen on the different shows that somehow never made mention of those other superpowered beings on Earth.
I can imagine characters like Arrow or Batman possibly slipping below the radar like that, but Superman, Supergirl, and the various metahumans of Central City? That doesn't seem very likely.

It's been confirmed by the producers that Barry will be hopping dimensions to visit Supergirl's universe. So there's nothing to debate here. Earth-1 has no Kryptonians on it. (Presumably Krypton hasn't exploded there yet. Or if it has, it's recently enough that Clark Kent hasn't become Superman yet.)
Neither the second season, nor Constantine's appearance in it were ever confirmed.
There was some talk that Legends would be an anthology series, and that some or even all characters would not return for S2, which in turn produced rumors it might be Justice League Dark with Constanine leading it for Season 2.
But it's just a rumor.
Have to admit, it does seem a bit odd to have an Earth-1 that's got a Flash and Green Arrow in it (and apparently Batman, judging by the Oracle reference earlier), but no Superman.
He may never appear on the CW shows, but I have a feeling in Berlanti's mind Clark is someone who does still exist in that world, but just simply hasn't revealed himself yet.

1. Jor-El could have sent Kal-El to a different planet. Although one of the key reasons he picked Earth is that it doesn't have/didn't have an anti-asteroid missile battery defense shield or similar precautions against fast moving "things" striking the planet.
2. Jor-El could have not finished the rocket on time. Boom. No one escapes.
3. Martha and Johnathan would have still adopted a human baby and called him Clark Kent if they hadn't found that rocket ship in a cornfield.

Rip mentions the deaths of Superman and Batman in the most recent Legends of Tomorrow, so somewhere along the Arrowverse timeline they do exist as it hasn't been implied that Rip can hop dimensions.
But he can remake time until it is unimaginably different and might as well be a different dimension.
He still might!
And alternate versions of Superman's upbringings have been told for decades now - most recently as a DNA-clone of Zod or something, in animated form. But in others, he DID up on some other planet, or died with Krypton, or was raised to be evil (or was that Will Ferrel?). Anyway, been done before, can be done again.

Zod cockblocked Jor-El jumping the queue to inseminate genetic material Lara had already deposited into something that looked like a tennis ball tube.

I don't know if the Chronicles of Cisco Tumblr blog is written by the show's writing staff, but the most recent entry specifically mentions Batman.
You can't read too much into those. I remember a viral marketing campaign for some superhero movie (maybe The Dark Knight Rises) where the various articles dropped the names of dozens of comics villains and guest characters and the like, and the fans and reporters were going crazy wondering how all these characters were going to figure into the movie, but none of them were in the movie at all. It's just that whoever they hired to pound out copy for the viral site to keep up audience interest had to fill it with something interesting and Batman-related, so they threw in a bunch of Easter eggs from the comics just for fun. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the actual plans for the movie, it was just about having new stuff to post. It seems likely that this "blog" is written by some employee in The CW's or Warner Bros.' publicity department. After all, it's viral marketing. I think my fellow Trek novelist David Mack did similar sorts of things when he worked for SciFi.com. Some of their shows' pages had episode recaps written in the form of in-universe journal entries by the shows' main characters, and I believe Dave wrote many of those.
Griffen Grey coming to The Flash in April - http://www.designntrend.com/article...s-griffin-grey-to-appear-on-the-cw-series.htm
No news on who is playing him right now

Had no idea who "Griffen Grey" was. Never followed Impulse.
Dark Knights and Men of Steel aren't necessarily references to Batman and Superman in universe, just a wink to the fans.
Well, there we go...a glimpse of you-know-who from that other network while crossing between Earths.
I did. What else did they show? I didn't catch everything.
I caught Supergirl and Barry's dad, only he was the Flash in the 90s series!
