Melissa Benoist’s Supergirl Makes Celebrated Cameo in Superman & Lois Series Finale: A Must-See Arrowverse Scene Edit

In a notable moment from the finale of Superman & Lois, viewers were treated to a surprise return of Melissa Benoist’s Supergirl, thanks to a creative edit by graphic designer and YouTube editor Julian Bell. With the conclusion of the final episode—season 4, episode 10—The CW’s 23-year journey in the DC universe officially came to an end, marking the last chapter in the Arrowverse saga. While the series wrapped up many storylines, fans expressed a desire for cameo appearances, particularly from beloved characters within the Super Family.

Bell’s imaginative edit depicted a pivotal scene where Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman flies alongside both Superboys, Steel, and Starlight during a flash-forward sequence. In this version, Benoist’s Supergirl is seamlessly integrated into the scene, giving fans a glimpse of what could have been. This tribute serves as a reminder of the character’s significance within the Arrowverse, sparking nostalgia among viewers. You can watch Bell’s impressive edit below:

Understanding the Impact of Melissa Benoist’s Supergirl Cameo Edit

In the second season finale of Superman & Lois, it was revealed that the show operates in its own distinct reality rather than adhering to the Earth-Prime setting. Nevertheless, this narrative choice did not entirely sever its ties to the broader Arrowverse. With many cast members having also appeared in other Arrowverse series, it’s plausible that Benoist could have portrayed a doppelgänger of Supergirl in this unique universe, potentially enriching the storyline over several episodes.

This edit featuring Benoist reinforces the potential for incorporating Supergirl into the narrative of Superman & Lois. Given Clark Kent’s limited ties to his Kryptonian heritage outside of his sons, Supergirl remains one of his most integral family members. Exploring their relationship further could have added depth to the series, though whether there were discussions about bringing Benoist into the series remains unclear.

Our Perspective on the Supergirl Cameo Edit

The presence of Benoist’s Supergirl in Bell’s edit highlights the opportunity Superman & Lois had to reintroduce a new iteration of Kara Zor-El. This could have been a fantastic way to delve into the multiverse aspect of the Arrowverse franchise while maintaining continuity with Earth-Prime. However, as Superman & Lois wraps up, fans look forward to the next chapter in the DC Universe helmed by James Gunn, starting with David Corenswet’s portrayal of Superman in 2025.
