A crossover with Supergirl would increase ratings for both shows. for just the one Crossover Episode

The Thing is when Crossover Episodes are going on everytime, there is somehow nothing SPECIAL about such Episodes in these Series after all.

The Reason for the pruducers to MAKE these Crossoves so drastically is the yelling of the Fanboy after these Crossovers! These Fanboys are not the complete audience of those shows but a very small part of it. But the Fanboys are the Part of audience who are being noticed in the Internet.

Look at this wiki! The Flash is watched by 3,5 mio viewers per week! Where are these 3 Mio viewers? Here are less then 100.

Or they are asked from the beginnig of "Supergirl" from he fans and journalists constantly if the Supergirl Show is a part of the Arow-vere and will it be give Crossover Episodes with the other shows, so they decide to do so to make a lot of money?!

And your point about both shows working the same way being a reason not to crossover doesn't make sense. Sure, both shows are light and involve characters with superpowers. A crossover between similar shows makes more sense than a crossover between, say, Supergirl and Gotham. please begin to think please!!! In the Comics the "special" about Crossovers is for the Fans to see two total different they are both like coming in one story together. The Story himself is always pretty basic and not very original. thats why no one says "most important Batman Comics to Read: Killing Joke, Long Halloween Batman/Predator".

For the Crossovers in TV Shows there is simply no drastically NEED to doing something like this UNLESS it was already be planed from the beginning and these Crossover Episodes can give the viewers more to see as "the one Guy from Show A teaming up with the other Guy from Show B for the reason it is for the most Fanboys EXITED to see the two Guys from different Shows teaming up!"

In the Arrow/Flash Crossovers for example you get the whole Oliver has a Child Thing to see. Thats a Reason for Arrow fans to watch these episodes besides to see Green Arrow and the Flash fight eatch over or take down together a Supervillain. And this is possible because these shows are in the same Universe from the beginning. "Supergirl" isn't so let the Show alone OR planing the Show FROM THE BEGINNING as part of the Arrow-verse!

Wally Valdez wrote: And I don't really think Supergirl's viewers would be confused by Flash's appearance. The show already deals with aliens and the Martian Manhunter, they can just introduce Flash by saying that he is a speedster from another dimension. That explanation isn't so convoluted that it would make the show's audience stop watching. Fans of Supergirl who want a better explanation would watch The Flash, and fans of Flash would watch Supergirl in order to see more of The Flash. maybe you are right. this is what the producers hope too. But its no guarantee on this it could be happen in the way I am concernd for.

Look at the Green Lantern Movie, he was sopposed to be the first of many other Green Lantern Movies and that the Fans loving it, now Rayn Renolds as Deadpool makes jokes about it. They are doing it for money. They don't care if it advances the plot, or somewhat confuses people, or if it is special in any way. They decided that it will probably make more money, and attract more viewers, and I thimk they're right.
