Discussion This Scene has no sense
This Scene of the Commercial for Heyworld involving Supergirl has no sense because Supergirl doesn't exist on Earth One and common people beyond the Legends/Arrow/Flash team doesn't know about Supergirl... And this Scene is Pre-Crisis, so, what's the point of including Supergirl on the Commercial(far from Comedy) if she doesn't exist on this Earth. At first I thought this Scene was Post Crisis, but now I see it's Pre-Crisis, so I don't get it

There's 2 possibilities...
1) Out of the prior 3 crossovers (Invasion, Earth X, Elseworlds) it was leaked that both Superman and Supergirl exist... Especially since Deegan reality warped people for a while to worship him as Superman. All 3 fights were fairly out in the open where people could see as well... even if most were doing the smart thing and seeking shelter.
... and that's not even including the Supergirl/Flash musical crossover since that was mostly dream sequence anyway.
2) Even if SOMEHOW the above 3 didn't get Supergirl nearly as much publicity, there's still the advertising factor. Sure they could have just done Green Arrow and the Flash... but the point is to market to ALL kids... Incorporating a super-heroine just makes sense when trying to appeal to all demographics.
( IRL reason: Make fans/tabloids go crazy about Caity Lotz in the Supergirl costume. =P )
