This year at San Diego Comic-Con The CW was pulling no stops when it came to their own DC panels. While the cinematic universe debuted trailers for Wonder Woman and Justice League the Television division was hard at work crossing over 4 different shows. They included the original DCTV show Arrow the masked vigilante of Star City. The first spin-off show continued the adventures of Barry Allen in The Flash. Next they brought together both heroes and villains in the time-traveling spin-off show Legends of Tomorrow. Now finally The CW picked up Supergirl for a second season after debuting on CBS in 2015. All four shows were present at comic-con…with Supergirl being the first panel up.
