focus on the Danvers sisters this season
on Supergirl? — EP
Andrew Kreisbergdropped quite a tease. “Kara and Alex are at
the center of it through all four hours [of the upcoming four-way
crossover],” Kreisberg “One of the things we’ve been doing a
lot this season is getting back to season 1 and really making it
Danvers sisters-centric, so a lot of what’s going on this season is
Kara and Alex doing things in tandem, and the crossover won’t be
any different.”
