Spoilers Supergirl - Season 2

^ Exactly.

Although we do know that they've built at least one brand-new set that is much more 'flashy' from a production standpoint than what we had in Season 1 and probably cost a bit more to build.
 
A couple of comments I've read also makes it sound like we might see them out in the city a bit more too.

One thing I regret about the move is that I liked how shooting in Los Angeles gave National City a different look and feel from Star and Central Cities. We even got to see LA landmarks like City Hall. Now they'll all just be using the same Vancouver locations and they won't look as distinct. I'm hoping Supergirl will rely heavily on their digital version of National City. I've seen some FX reels of the shows that reveal that a lot of the cityscapes we see in the background of shots are actually digital mattes, so they already modify the look of their filming locations a lot. That would make it easier to keep National City's distinctive look -- although it might not get as much sunlight anymore.

That said, I fail to see how Arrow showing up on Flash or Felicity on Legends or whatever would take away anything from the main characters. It's not like other episodes, don't have other gueststars pretty much every episode who take a bit of a spotlight.
The difference is, those gueststars don't have their own show usually.
So they do not get billed as special guest stars.
But they always take as much screen time away from the main characters as the story requires.

Felicty makes every scene of every thing she's in about her. She starts crying and whining at everyone, and takes time away from everything. There hasn't been an episode of Arrow since maybe early Season 3 that wasn't all about Felicity.

Most people probably don't mind watching one episode of a show they don't watch in order to follow the crossover.
I'm starting to think we aren't watching the same Arrow and Supergirl shows.

I'm pretty sure they do if they loathe the show its crossing over with. I'm not watching Felicity (the real name of the show that airs now, Arrow was basically cancelled after Season 3 and replaced with Felicity in all but a technical sense) or Supergirl (aka Cat Grant: The Series), so since I'm not watching the shows we definitely aren't watching the same shows.

I watch The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow, which has superheroes doing super things. I don't want to see a soap opera about a drama queen who likes to cry and have relationship drama and sometimes uses computers, so I don't watch Felicity. Supergirl is a show with a great main character, a good supporting character (Martian Manhunter), and writers are some of the worst mainstream television writers ever, and second worst in the history of superhero TV shows (the first being the idiots who made the Wonder Woman pilot a few years ago). Whoever decided that The Devil Wears Prada was a good thing to base a Supergirl TV show on is a terrible person who should be banned from anything more complex than writing the back of a cereal box. So, those are the shows I don't watch, and don't want to see crossover with the good DC shows.

I honestly try not to go off on Felicity or Supergirl, I don't hover around the threads or anything. But, its a bit hard when Greg Berlanti & Friends won't stop shoving them in my face. Its honestly more depressing then anything, Arrow was a great show for the first two seasons and Supergirl could have been great with different people in charge (and different writers). Its bad enough that Supergirl gets Superman in Season 2, which means I have to watch at least 80-90 minutes of Callista Flockhart and the terrible Supergirl writers because I can't skip a new superman. Even if he's being done by idiots, that's too big a deal for a superhero fan to skip. That's enough terrible superhero TV for me without having Felicity shoved onto the two DC shows I do like.

^ No, but we know it's in California thanks to comments from the producers. We also know that Kara and Alex grew up in Midvale, which is ALSO in California, and that Metropolis is halfway across the country from National City (the latter information coming from casting sides for the Supergirl Pilot).

National City is clearly a surrogate for Los Angeles in the same way that Batman '66's Gotham City and Superman: The Movie's Metropolis were surrogates for New York City. I mean, they've overtly used LA landmarks like the U.S. Bank Tower and City Hall.

Which makes it strange that they said Metropolis is only halfway across the country, rather than all the way across. That implies they're following Smallville's lead and putting Metropolis in the Midwest.

So Earth-SG's Metropolis is Chicago-ish (kinda like Smallville) while Earth-FU has Metropolis across the bay from Gotham on the East Coast?
 
That location for Metropolis being halfway across the country may have been in the casting sides but so far has never made it on the show itself. So they may not ever go with that location. Often those sides are written only for auditions and are not actual scenes in any episode.

I really hope they never use a Midwest location for Metropolis. Not just because it would break from the usual tradition. I like the idea of Supergirl living on the west coast while Superman is on the east coast. It's gives them very separate lives. Obviously they can fly an see the other anytime they want. But they are as far from neighbors as possible.

I just remembered toward the end of the season Non gave a list of cities he planned to concur after National. There Earth's Central City was mentioned before Metropolis. Which would imply Metropolis is more eastern.
 
City and State road crews must HATE all that repair work they have to do! lol.

"Why couldn't they be like Thor and just leave a cool pattern in the pavement?? grumble grumble grumble." :lol:
 
At this point I am more curious to see how Mon-El is portrayed than Superman. Surprised we haven't seen any images of him yet.
