First Photo From Upcoming ARROW and THE FLASH Crossover Episode
Arrow and The Flash have another crossover episode coming up, and executive producer Marc Guggenheim has released the first photo from it. One of the coolest things about the image is that is offers fans their first look at Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) and Hawkgirl (Ciara Renée) together. Barry also seems to be wearing some interesting looking...power gloves?
Stephen Amell previously talked to Zap2It about this the upcoming crossover, and how it will introduce the main characters who make up DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. This is what he had to say:
“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.”
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg talked a little bit more about it:
“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.”
It's always fun to see these two series crossover with each other, and this next one is shaping up to be something epic, especially with the new team of heroes coming together in DC's Legends of Tomorrow. The episode is set to premiere the week after Thanksgiving.
