With Arrow and the Flash, the CW absolutely crushed it when it comes to comic book TV. And they clearly recognize what everyone loves most- the crossovers- because it looks like the upcoming seasons of Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow are going to be swarming with near-constant crossover action.
Recently Grant Gustin, who stars as Barry Allen/The Flash on The Flash, spoke about how much the three shows are going to intermingle. It sounds like it'll be happening nearly every episode!
"Like, I'm on Flash, but as far as a lot of those other characters are concerned, they're just on three TV shows at one time, which is really cool. Wentworth [Miller, who plays Captain Cold] and Dominic [Purcell, who plays Heat Wave] are on Legends, but they'll be on Arrow and Flash, too. It's like a revolving door for all three shows."
It was recently confirmed by the CW that they're sticking with an annual crossover event for Arrow and the Flash (and possibly Legends, too)- an episode like "Arrow vs Flash" or "The Brave and the Bold," that's specifically touted as a crossover between the lead superheroes. But given the amount of minor characters that are now jumping between each show, it sounds like next season is going to be a much more connected universe than we saw this time around.
More great news for Flash fans- executive producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed that the second season of The Flash will introduce new speedsters. One of them should be obvious already- Jay Garrick, who's helmet made a quick cameo appearance at the end of the Flash season finale. But Kreisberg didn't specify how many speedsters they're adding- for all anyone knows, Wally West, Jesse Quick or Max Mercury could show up too. And if they do, they'll probably stop by Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, just for fun.
