Isn’t she the spouse of Robbie Amell? Makes me wonder if this show will ever join the Arrow/Flash universe
Italia is Robbie’s fiancée. It is kind of cool that she is Silver Banshee on Supergirl while Robbie is Firestorm on the Flash and Stephen is the Green Arrow. It would be cool if Supergirl were part of the Flarrow universe but it is a bit hard considering the different networks.
