CW’s long-runningThe Flashseries recently saw its completion on May 24th after a whole decade. While it felt bittersweet for a lot of fans as the show ended right before the Ezra Miller starrer DC movieThe Flashreleases next month, according to a lot of fans, they still felt satisfied with the ending.
Although, this particular end felt a little more impactful for the fans, since DC’s sister shows based on the Arrowverse have also concluded their journey over the years.
However, in an interesting turn of events, the director of CW’sThe Flash, Eric Wallace, gave an optimistic update that even after its conclusion, there are chances that the characters might live on.
And those chances happen to be none other than in the form of another DC and CW collaboration series, Tyler Hoechlin starrerSuperman and Lois.

Eric Wallace claims CW’sThe Flashcan return
Eric Wallace had been overseeing theGrant Gustinstarrer series for the entirety of its decade-long run. As such, its conclusion, while euphoric, also brought about some sentimental feelings in him. In an interview, he expressed his thoughts, saying,
“I still am hopeful that the Arrowverse is not over. I’ve approached it as ‘The Flash’ is over and I want to make the best Flash series finale as possible.”
In addition, he claimed that he is in fact looking to explore more as soon as possible. He claimed that he hopes to collaborate with another DC show on CW,Superman and Lois,as a multiversal crossover, if the show renews for a fourth season. He elaborated,
“I’m going to have lunch with [‘Superman & Lois’ showrunner] Todd [Helbing] in the next couple weeks. And I’m going to tell him, ‘If you get a fourth season, you’ve got to sneak some Arrowverse in there. You are now carrying the torch.'”
Thankfully for Wallace, Todd Helbing had held hopes for collaboration as well for some time and now with cleared schedules, he hopes to explore this topic more.

Todd Helbing wants to collaborate with Eric Wallace to bring backThe Flash
Interestingly, it’s not only Wallace who hopes to continue the Arrowverse and especiallyThe Flashwith a collaboration.
Todd Helbing claimed he had harbored those hopes as well, however, with so many regular shows running, they never really got the chance of the time to explore more. He explained in an interview,
“I will say this, it sure is a lot easier now that the other shows aren’t on the air, people’s schedules are a lot easier to work around, so… maybe. I would love to bring Grant on, and I think it would be a lot of fun to have Candice, to have Iris with [Elizabeth Tulloch’s] Lois Lane. So we’ll see.”
Well, with the showrunners on board, it surely increases the chances of the crossover happening that much more. The only problem now remains is the teensy matter of CW being under a new leaderboard that wants to completely redesign its content and concept.
So it will be interesting to see ifSuperman and Loisdo end up renewing for a fourth season, and whether that would bring back Grant Gustin’sThe Flashon board.

Fans seem conflicted over a potentialFlashandSupermancollaboration
The Flashseries has had a history of multiversal travels and crossovers during its course. As a result, although the two series take place in completely different universes, withSuperman and Loistaking place in a world where Clark Kent is the only superhero, it might not be entirely impossible.
However, this specific fact seems to bug a lot of fans as they claim that the two universes are completely detached and should have no connection to each other.
There is another group of fans, though, who claim they would love to see such a crossover.As such, the fandom seems to be in somewhat of a conflict as they try to process Wallace’s intriguing reveal.
That wouldn’t be that bad.Just give Gustin a brand new suit like they did with Tyler and a different continuity for him.

Cool would love that, but I thought Grant was done with the character? Although yeah one episode would be cool. I just pray they don’t supidly burn the suits like with Stargirl…

This is potentially incredibly exciting

Pls don’t bring anyone over into this show, it needs to stay unconnected.
— Cameron Ross (@Cam_daddy15)June 16, 2025
Nah that’d be gross after we already got a close off for it all and they did so much legwork to NOT be apart of that stuff.

The@cwsupermanloiscast is already over inflated and Tyler and Bitsie get less than 50% of screen time in their own show. We don’t need crossovers and other superheroes to take up more screen time. We watch a superman show for superman#SupermanAndLois#RenewSupermanAndLois

Only bring in Barry nobody else not even his wife and especially the super seal or DP(many characters_)

It will be interesting to see if this crossover really does come about. Especially, as this implies a lot of potential storylines developing in time. However, even if it doesn’t come to pass, there are still ways to makeThe Flashreturn as from Flashpoint to Arrowverse there are endless amounts of source material for possible movies.
