The “Supergirl” season two finale left fans bewildered – with Kara Danvers being whisked away to Earth-Prime (the prime realm in DC’s shared universe)! Fans were left with a palpable cliffhanger, eagerly awaiting answers for just how this interdimensional shift would evolve story lines, particularly concerning Alex’s (Chyler Leigh) romantic escapades.
While the season’s final reveal served as dramatic closure, whispers about Ben Warren’s (Jason George) potential departure from “The CW”‘s burgeoning DC universe bubble over amidst news about his involvement in the upcoming crossover event with “9-1-1.” It begs a multitude questions: Is this a permanent farewell, or simply the result of juggling complex television gigs? Could Ben truly fade into obscurity after contributing so significantly to Supergirl lore? Was Dan’s brief visit just for a reunion purpose amidst an overall narrative restructure of the show?
George himself has teased his impending exit following the next crossover episode, suggesting this significant departure wouldn’t be a complete shock if fans recall he was last seen in National City before traveling with Maya for medical rotations back at Grey Sloan Memorial, leaving Ben temporarily separated from both “Supergirl” crew and potential future crossover.
It’s intriguing how fan theories are taking flight in light of this developing narrative. Some hypothesize that a multi-series storyline involving Earth-Prime might lead to character transitions between shows for greater cross-connectivity. This echoes previous crossover moments like Lois Lane (Bitsie Tulloch) navigating dual lives across “Superman & Lois” and “Supergirl.” However, the stakes are clearly higher now with Ben potentially becoming a more centralized figure in the narrative fabric of Earth-Prime, a testament to DC’s evolving world building ambition.
Only time will ultimately tell. George undoubtedly leaves an indelible mark even if this crossover becomes his farewell to “Supergirl,” a poignant reminder of television universe’s evolving and constantly adapting nature. Whether fan hopes hold true regarding his future appearances within “SGC,” or other possibilities emerge involving the newly- introduced universe “Earth Prime,” one thing certain : Ben Warren’s impact will echo for years to come.
He proved he can handle both hero dramas alongside supergalactic power struggles, a compelling testament to George’s talent as an actor capable of traversing diverse thematic territories within pop culture. “Supergirl” viewers are left hoping his journey continues and that this unexpected finale serves a larger, unfolding narrative about Ben Warren’s true place in these evolving DC realms.
