4. Supergirl

Supergirl first soared onto television screens in 2015 and quickly became a beacon of empowerment and hope for fans of the Arrowverse. While initially airing on CBS, the show truly found its stride when it moved to The CW and formally joined the interconnected universe of DC heroes.

One of Supergirl‘s greatest strengths came in the show’s ability to tackle relevant social and political issues with finesse. The show fearlessly addresses topics such as feminism, immigration, and LGBTQ+ rights, offering a powerful platform for representation and inclusivity. The portrayal of Kara Danvers in particular, played brilliantly by Melissa Benoist, exemplifies a strong, compassionate, and multifaceted female lead.

Once embraced by The CW and woven into the tapestry of the Arrowverse, Supergirl experienced a new burst of energy. Crossovers with the likes of The Flash, Arrow, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow brought exhilarating team-ups and expanded storylines. The seamless integration into the shared universe allowed for exciting character interactions and epic battles against common threats.

Supergirl thrived within the vibrant and interconnected Arrowverse, benefiting from the creative synergy and established lore. The rich universe provided ample opportunities for character growth, crossovers, and the exploration of intricate story arcs. Its move to The CW also saw a shift from Superman being a faceless character in the clouds to an amazing hero who would later fly to new heights on the network.

While Supergirl had some low points over the course of its time on The CW, it ended on top with one of the greatest final seasons we’ve seen in the franchise leaving behind a legacy of hope.
