The Flash And Arrow’s Second Crossover Event Will Be Bigger Than Ever

Just last week I mentioned in an article with Arrow writer Marc Guggenheim, that the upcoming Arrow-Flash crossover would exist as two stand alone episodes for both shows. As well as laying groundwork for CWs new show The Legends of Tomorrow.

Recent reveals via Twitter, including candid shots from the set, reveal that a team of up to nine superheroes will be involved in only the second crossover event since both shows went into production.

In a conversation with comic book.com, the Green Arrow himself Stephen Amell commented: ‘We shot a scene that had, like, nine superheroes in it’ further adding ‘Nine people with either powers or super-suits. It was an amazing thing to look out over the scene and see the world that has been built over the course of three-plus years.’

Much like Marvels cinematic universe, DC and The CW have carved out a niche in the market for both the ardent and causal superhero fan, with The Legends of Tomorrow presenting an opportunity to create a truly interactive universe of which movies can’t easily do.

On the crossover itself, Amell expressed that ‘these two crossover episodes standing together will probably be, in my mind, the pinnacle achievement for both shows.’ The Flash, Grant Gustin, also added: ‘I feel like more people are a part of it this year from both sides, and we’re tying in Legends, obviously, so it’s just bigger.’

With all three shows existing in the same universe, us fans will ultimately be spoilt with the interwoven storylines that may present themselves. With John Constantine only just popping up in Arrow, what now stops that cheeky bugger from show hoping across all three, and vice versa for those new heroes and villains to come.
