Much like Barry Allen traveled to a different place in “Worlds Finest” to visit Supergirl, Kara will be going to another world herself — and those who have followed KryptonSite since 2001 will be very happy to hear about this.
KryptonSite has learned exclusively that an early story in Supergirl Season 2 will take Kara to “Smallville…” and some familiar faces from the 2001-2011 WB/CW series will be along for the ride. The reason this episode is being put together so early is because clearances had to be made with Alfred Gough and Miles Millar who created Smallville and are owed a royalty for the use of “their” versions of the characters.
Here’s what we know about the episode so far:
— Kara’s dimensional travel apparently happens as a result of her desire to reconnect with Barry Allen combined with some additional speed help from Dr. Amilia Hamilton. However, she quickly finds she’s in the wrong place. At first she thinks it is a plot by Indigo (Laura Vandervoort), who appears to be posing as Supergirl in this other world, and — in a big contrast to when Kara met Barry — the two of them may have a fight.
— To seek help in returning to her own world, it is expected that Kara will look for Barry and some of the others that he mentioned in “Worlds Finest.” We hear producers are trying to get Kyle Gallner as that world’s Flash, and if his soap schedule will allow, Justin Hartley will reprise his Smallville role as Green Arrow. Supergirl producers are also negotiating to bring back Allison Mack as fan favorite Chloe Sullivan, and they have expressed interest in recruiting Annette O’Toole to appear as Senator Martha Kent.
— Kara will also run into Smallville’s Cat Grant — both (!!) of them. Additionally, it is expected that Smallville’s “John Jones” will at the very least be referenced.
— Where’s Superman? That’s the mystery. Ignoring the continuity of the Smallville Season 11 comics, this world’s Man of Steel has not been seen since May 2011, and while the people of Metropolis are used to seeing a Supergirl flying around (Vandervoort’s character clearly came back from the future she left for), Superman is still an unseen urban legend. Some even suspect that whatever it was that beat Darkseid was a computer-generated hologram. As such, don’t expect to see Tom Welling coming back, at least not this time.
Sounds like a lot, doesn’t it? If all negotiations go well, the “Smallville” arc may be a 2-parter.

It's not April 1st yet Craig
On the East Coast, it is.
If this is an April fools joke, that's just cruel cause this is a genius idea. Please don't do this to us. It's like putting candy in front of a child and being like, "you want this? Too bad cause its mine!" And then shoving it in your own mouth! Please clarify if a joke cause I can't take it anymore!
That's so great to hear, because Smallville put together a great cast for many characters they introduced on the show, I hope that kyle galler will be the flash of that world, would be nice if could get Michael shanks as hawkman and Erica durance to reprise Lois lane, I mean right now cw hawkman from legends of tomorrow is killed at the moment, so they should be able to work out to bring Michael shanks back as hawkman, and if that world won't have superman or not around, but mentioned, how about introducing captain Marvel
I come back to this site once a year just for your April 1st stories. It's been nearly a 10 year tradition, glad to see you're still at it.
This has to be a prank. Why would the Smallville Supergirl be there? She went to the future with Brainiac.
It hasn't been picked up for season 2 yet.
Was this just an April Fools thing?
Yes. Didn't you "click for more information?"
No Tom?? No Erica?? No Michael?? NO Kristen?? No!!! Especially...Tom!! I just wish CBS would pick up Section 13. I just want to see him on TV again.
I hate you. Imagine if this wasnt an April Fools Joke because IT SOUNDS AWESOME!
