First 'Arrow' and 'The Flash' Crossover Photo Revealed

The DC Universe on TV Expands Further

We can't wait for this years Arrow and The Flash crossover episodes and now we have our first photo from the event, just look at all those heroes! From left to right you've got Speedy, Green Arrow, Black Canary, The Flash, John Diggle and new heroes Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) and Hawkgirl (Ciara Renée)!

Green Arrow himself Stephen Amell spoke to Zap2It about this seasons crossover event which serves as a setup for 'DC’s Legends of Tomorrow' and won't be separate adventures but a two-part story.

“Last year was designed so that if you were a fan of one show or a fan of the other show, you could enjoy 108 of ‘Flash’ and 308 of ‘Arrow’ independent of one another, In fact, most of the ‘Flash’ episode takes place in Star City, and most of the ‘Arrow’ episode takes place in Central City. We have a common villain, which was not the case last year, and just in general, we’ve done an excellent job of weaving not just two shows, but three shows together.”

'Arrow' and 'The Flash' executive producer Andrew Kreisberg added: “Just conceptually speaking, one of the ways we thought of these episodes, in sort of a macro sense, was that ‘The Flash’ episode this year plays more like an episode of ‘Arrow’ and the ‘Arrow’ episode plays more like an episode of ‘Flash.’ We look back and thought that those ‘Flash’ and ‘Arrow’ episodes were the biggest things we’d ever done. Now we have more heroes, more people with powers, more mouths to feed and bigger villains. It’s really exciting.”

The crossover event is set to air the week after Thanksgiving and just before the Christmas themed mid season finales for each show, we'll keep you updated with all the developments, so keep it locked at Cape and Cowl.
