Things We Saw Today: Melissa Benoist Visits Riverdale, Shows Us the Crossover We Never Knew We Wanted

I’d never really thought about Kara Zor-El going to school in Riverdale before, but now that I’ve seen the above photo, I’m writing all sorts of cool fan fiction in my head. Production began this week on The CW’s Riverdale in Vancouver, where Supergirl is also now filming. The two shows also happen to be Greg Berlanti shows. So it makes sense that the Girl of Steel would stop by and say hi to Archie (played by KJ Apa) and Jughead (Cole Sprouse). CBR.com has rounded up some other photos posted by creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa as Riverdale began production this week.

• Check out this awesome, post-apocalyptic comic take on the story of Noah’s Ark in Ehud Lavski and Yael Nathan’s Ark over at the EL Comics Tumblr.
• Bruce Lee and Freddie Mercury were totally BFFs. At least, they were according to this hilarious Japanese Twitter feed run by a user named @suekichiii. (via Boing Boing)
• John Williams’ timeless score for Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope (or just, you know, Star Wars) is being released on gorgeous “picture discs” featuring Han and Chewie, Darth Vader, and images of the Death Star and TIE fighters. You can pre-order it for $35. (via Boing Boing)
• Who says geeks don’t like sports? If you own a pair of breasts, are athletic, and need a geeky new sports bra for your active endeavors, look no further than this awesome R2-D2 sports bra! (via Geek Alerts)

And lastly, here’s Mel B, A.K.A. Scary Spice, on The Late, Late Show with James Corden talking with him and fellow guest, Michael Sheen, about a possible Spice Girls reunion celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their first album! (via The Late, Late Show with James Corden on YouTube)

I know what I want. What I really, really want. THE WEEKEND! Have a great one, everybody!
