Would you want to see an Arrow-Gotham crossover? Or an adult Batman in Arrow? – Skatronixxx
As super producer Greg Berlanti quickly corners the market on DC TV shows with CW’s Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and CBS’s Supergirl falling under the same banner. One elusive vigilante has still managed to escape the producers grasp considering that even NBC’s cancelled Constantine made his Arrow debut last week.
‘I love Batman’, revealed co-creator of Arrow, Marc Guggenheim, and writer on the show. ‘He’s probably my favourite DC character and of course I’d love to see him on Arrow, but you know, that’s just not in the cards anytime soon.’
That statement certainly seems apt given that a young Bruce Wayne is going through his own journey on Fox’s Gotham, currently in its second season. ‘So it remains a fantasy, but we have so many other fantasies and pipe dreams of ours have come true, I really have no complaints.’
On the numerous cameos on Arrow, Guggenheim further elaborated on the creative process of introducing established characters on the show. ‘We always say we never set out to introduce this many DC characters, you know, on the screen. Even by the end of season one of Arrow when we had done Deathstroke much sooner than we planned, we had never planned on doing Huntress, we didn’t plan on introducing Roy Harper so soon.’ The news that fan favourite Roy Harper’s introduction was unplanned seems surprising considering the character stayed around for three seasons, Until actor Colton Haynes left for pastures new. ‘To look at where we are now, you know, four years, two going on three shows in, it’s like, how did this happen? And we’re always pinching ourselves.’
With fans awaiting a major cross-over event to kick start CW’s third superhero show, The Legends of Tomorrow. The Arrow writer revealed the plan for this years most anticipated event. ‘There’s a lot of things that are really cool about this year’s crossover, one of which is the fact that there really is a true two-part story unlike last year where it was two interconnected episodes each had their own beginning, middle, and end.’
Guggenheim further revealed that the crossover will feel more self contained than last years Flash and Arrow event. This time properly introducing new characters to the audience. ‘It feels like an episode of Flash and then an episode of Arrow. It truly is a two-hour Flash/Arrow event that just so happens to introduce us to some new characters who will be a big part of Legends Of Tomorrow.’
The new show looks to bring together a rag-tag band of misfits in order to fight comic book villain Vandal Savage. The team will consist of familiar faces from both Arrow and The Flash including Firestorm, White Canary, The Atom, Heat Wave and Captain Cold. We also see the first incarnations of Hawkman, Hawkgirl and time traveler Rip Hunter who will be introduce on The Legends of Tomorrow.
Details are tight lipped but you can find out for yourself when DC’s Legends of Tomorrow premieres in 2016 on The CW network.
