Melissa Benoist"s Supergirl Gets The Superman & Lois Series Finale Cameo She Deserved In Arrowverse Scene Edit

:0:1

One of the crucial moments in the Superman & Lois series finale sees Melissa Benoist"s Supergirl come back in a clever DC edit. After 23 years, the DC era on The CW has come to an end, as Superman & Lois season 4, episode 10 marked the final show in the overarching Arrowverse franchise. While the final episode of Superman & Lois brought a lot of things full circle, many fans would have loved to see an Arrowverse cameo or two, especially from the Super Family.
Graphic designer and YouTube editor Julian Bell shared a special edit on his Instagram of the big moment in the Superman & Lois series finale, where Tyler Hoechlin"s Man of Steel is seen flying with both Superboys, Steel, and Starlight during the flash-forward. However, in Bell"s version, Benoist"s version of the Girl of Steel is also edited into the shot, allowing her to have the Arrowverse cameo that many would have enjoyed. Check it out below:
Benoist finished her time as Kara Zor-El during Supergirl season 6, which wrapped its run in November 2021 and marked her last appearance in the Arrowverse. However, Elizabeth Tulloch, who played Lois Lane on Superman & Lois, revealed in August 2022 that Benoist was game to appear as Supergirl on their show.
What Melissa Benoist's Supergirl Cameo Edit Means For Superman & Lois Close While Superman & Lois season 2 ended with the big reveal that the show didn"t actually take place on Earth-Prime, but rather its own reality, The CW drama didn"t necessarily cut itself off from the Arrowverse as a whole. Given how the Superman & Lois cast heavily features many actors who appeared on the other Arrowverse shows, there is no reason why Benoist couldn"t have played Supergirl"s doppelgänger in this universe, even if it had only been for a brief number of episodes throughout those seasons.
Benoist"s Supergirl cameo in the Superman & Lois finale edit showcases that the Arrowverse"s final spinoff show could have incorporated the character into its world. Given Clark"s ties to his Kryptonian heritage outside of his sons are extremely limited, Supergirl is always one of his most crucial family members, and exploring their dynamic could have held promise for the show. Whether or not the creative team ever did try to bring Benoist over for a cameo in any of the seasons is unknown at this point.
Our Take On Melissa Benoist's Supergirl Cameo Edit

Seeing Benoist"s Supergirl as part of the Super-Family in Bell"s edit underlines how Superman & Lois could have taken the opportunity to introduce a new version of Kara, as she could have easily been played by the Arrowverse veteran for a handful of episodes. This would have been another fun way to lean into the multiverse concept of the Arrowverse franchise, without having to disrupt any of the Earth-Prime continuity. But with Superman & Lois officially over, a new era of Kryptonians is on its way in James Gunn"s DC Universe, starting with David Corenswet"s Superman movie in 2025.
