Jay Garrick, played by John Wesley Shipp on The Flash , may have had his connection to Earth-Prime severed following the events of The CW’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover, but the hero is set to return in an upcoming episode of Stargirl.
According to the official description, Jay Garrick plays a role “in a pivotal flashback episode” that establishes “the Golden Age Flash as a member of Earth-2’s Justice Society of America.”
With this move, The CW confirmed this will “officially bring Stargirl into CW’s post-Crisis CWverse alongside The Flash, Superman & Lois, Batwoman, Black Lightning, Supergirl, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.” Shipp’s Stargirl role will mark the first time an Arrowverse character has appeared on the series.

Not only is this amazing news on its own, but I’m also hoping this could mean that we’ll get to see other members of the old JSA in flashbacks like Ted Grant, the Hawks and Alan Scott, among others. Bring on season 2!
This isn’t a crossover; it’s the Stargirl equivalent of Amanda Pays and others coming back to play different versions of characters they’d previously played.
wonder is this the same
