Personally I am hoping for Supergirl to spend an episode there and meeting one Barbara Gordon. 
I'd like that too. But wonder how that could work with that other show with Gotham and a Gordon seemingly having a hold on Bat things.Personally I am hoping for Supergirl to spend an episode there and meeting one Barbara Gordon.
Didn't some make a reference somewhere to a guy in a mask in another city?
Heck, if they can have different Flashes in TV and movies, and if Syfy can do a Krypton prequel series that's (we think) set in the DCEU Krypton rather than the Supergirl Krypton, then I don't see why Supergirl couldn't have its own Batgirl. Heck, The Flash has codified the idea of the multiverse and the existence of different Flashes on different Earths, so viewers could implicitly assume that it was a parallel reality from Gotham or the movies or whatever.
Logically, yes, but given that GOTHAM and SUPERGIRL air at the same time on different networks, I can see where that might be politically . . . awkward.
I'm sure the viewers wouldn't mind, but maybe the GOTHAM people might get the noses out of joint. I assume Warner/DC is trying hard to keeping everybody happy, despite the fact that GOTHAM and SUPERGIRL occupy the time slots. (Just speculation on my part, to be clear. I don't have any inside info here.)
Oh, I see your point. FOX might see it as direct competition in a way that other DC characters aren't. (Of course, Gotham bares only the vaguest resemblance to any normal Batman story at this point.)
Still, given that the last major screen appearance of Batgirl (other than DC Super Hero Girls) was in the animated movie of The Killing Joke, which is widely derided for its atrocious handling of her character, I for one would love to see Berlanti, Adler, Kreisberg and the Supergirl crew give us a Batgirl so awesome that it would expunge that sour taste from our minds. (Maybe something based on the "Batgirl of Burnside" comics, which were a lot of fun.)
Here's an idea -- toss in some scenes of Kara having text exchanges with her friend Babs from Gotham, with the texts ambiguously phrased to suggest they're having crimefighting team-ups between episodes.
@Christopher It's already been confirmed that SyFy's Krypton is set in the MoS/DCEU continuity.
Regarding the existence of Bat Family characters on "Earth-CBS", my personal headcanon on that is that they do exist and that Kara's quip in Truth, Justice, and the American Way was in relation to them, even though there are no plans at the present time to feature them as per Greg Berlanti.

Given that the Internet definition of "confirmed" tends to be "I read it somewhere so it must be true," I remain unconvinced. I saw that asserted some time back, but I more recently read something suggesting that it wasn't known for certain, that people were just assuming that David Goyer's involvement had to mean that it was in the same continuity. And even if it was the plan when the show was first announced, that doesn't mean it will necessarily remain the plan, because plans can change in the development process. Given that DC/WB generally prefers to keep its feature and TV continuities separate -- and given how massively expensive it would be to recreate the look of Snyder's Krypton on a Syfy budget -- I'd actually be a little surprised if they did stick to that plan.
Goyer himself flat-out confirmed that the show is set in the DDCE:

All he actually said was that it takes place 200 years before MoS. That certainly sounds like it's a direct prequel, but it's conceivable that he could've been speaking imprecisely and been misconstrued. Reporters have a nasty habit of reading too much into single sentences, which is why I always read the news defensively. If it is in the DCEU, we will find that out for sure when more solid information is released. Until then, there's no harm in keeping an open mind. Your link is from a year ago, and as I said, plans can change. I'll be surprised if we get a Krypton that looks like Snyder's Krypton instead of Planet Vancouver.
My thoughts exactly. The tone would be a nice fit with Supergirl. I could see Barbara and Winn hitting it off.
I didn't say I was hoping it looked like that one.
Though while we're at it, I'm also getting a little tired of seeing the Vancouver Central Library pop up everywhere. At least three different cities on two Earths in the past five weeks, and in two different places in Central City.

Down the line when one of the current shows eventually ends, I could see a Batgirl spin-off show set on Supergirl's Earth as an interesting replacement.
I'm not sure about this...Yep - two Martians so far.
The quote:
Goyer sent a strong message: he would have no reason to refer to Man of Steel if the Krypton series had no connection to the DC movies--alone. With this move, DC is trying to go the Marvel route of linking TV & films, only the TV side will be a fresh start with no connection to Gotham, or the Berlanti series.
