ARROWverse Crossover: ‘Elseworlds’ Promos Tease the Crazy Alt-Reality

When the first official poster for the 2018 ARROWverse crossover was revealed, it showed that “Elseworlds” was going to really shake things up: Stephen Amell was dressed up as The Flash, while Grant Gustin was in costume as Green Arrow.

The first promos have revealed that the heroes are very aware that they’re in the wrong existence, as Oliver is surprised to wake up to Barry’s wife Iris (Candice Patton), while Barry is training with Diggle (David Ramsey), and Kara (Melissa Benoist) is in the DEO, being taunted by Alex (Chyler Leigh).

THE FLASH: Greg Berlanti on Bringing in More Comic Characters, the Crossover with ARROW, and More

THE FLASH has yet to officially debut on The CW (if you exclude the crossovers that occurred during ARROW’s second season), but the show already has big plans in store for its first season: big guest stars (both good and bad guys), more crossovers with ARROW, and original FLASH star playing a vital role in this new version, and so much more.

At Comic-Con, THE FLASH executive producer Greg Berlanti spoke with reporters about what’s in store for THE FLASH’s first season, including the possibility of one of the core characters transitioning over to the not-so-great side (like they are in the comics)…

ARROW Set to Introduce Two More THE FLASH Characters in Episode 19

When Barry Allen was introduced into the ARROW world, the original plan was for the character to have a small arc at the end of 2013 and then a proper backdoor spinoff around episode 20. But then The CW opted to make THE FLASH’s pilot an official, standalone episode.

And while viewers will still have to wait until fall for more of Barry Allen if THE FLASH goes forward, later this season, ARROW will introduce a few new characters who will be regular fixtures on THE FLASH.

ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg on Introducing Flash and Getting to Write the Part with Grant Gustin in Mind

ARROW hasn’t been shy about bringing in other iconic comic book character during its run so far, but in season 2, the show is doing something a bit more out there: it’s introducing Barry Allen/Flash (who will be played by Grant Gustin) into Oliver’s world, with the hopes of launching a solo CW series for Flash.

On the Vancouver set of ARROW, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg talked with reporters about Barry’s introduction into the world (and which character he has an “easy” relationship with), casting Gustin before they have to write the official backdoor pilot, and more…

ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns Tease The Flash’s Introduction and Impact on Starling City

ARROW may be just getting ready for its second season, but already The CW is looking to expand the DC universe — ARROW will officially be bringing in Barry Allen (Flash) for an arc during the upcoming season of ARROW with the hopes of spinning it off.

“It really started with [ARROW executive producer] Greg Berlanti,” ARROW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told reporters on a conference call this afternoon. “The Flash was his favorite character as a kid growing up, and he’s obviously been a strong, personal favorite of [ARROW executive producer] Geoff [Johns] and mine. So when Greg approached us one day and said, ‘What do you think if we did Flash as a spinoff?,’ all of us lit up. Despite the fact that he has super powers, there’s something very relatable about Barry of all the big seven of the Justice League. He got his powers by accident; he’s not a god, he’s not an alien. He wasn’t seeking this out, it came to him. So his reaction to that feels very human and grounded…Oliver Queen is a very dark and tortured soul, and Barry is not. I think it’ll be fun…to see these two characters together, because they both have distinctly different world views, while deeply caring about right and wrong.”

“And Barry’s somebody who is a cop,” Johns teased. “He follows the law, he follows the rules, he’s the last person in the world who would ever think about being a vigilante.”

In fact, Barry will be working for the good guys when ARROW viewers are first introduced to him. (Barry is currently scheduled to appear in episodes 8, 9, and 20 — all of which written by Berlanti, Kreisberg, and Johns, while episode 20 will be directed by David Nutter.)
