'Arrow' Season 4 Episode 8 Spoilers: Crossover Teased By 'Flash-Arrow' Cast, Showrunners
The CW's hit superhero drama TV series "Arrow" Season 4 is now ready to air its side of the story in the highly-anticipated epic crossover event with "The Flash" Season 2. In both shows, Oliver and Barry seek to provide Kendra Saunders a.k.a. Hawkgirl the protection she needs from the hands of the evil time traveller, Vandal Savage.
The episode titled "Legends of Yesterday" serves as part two to "The Flash" episode titled "Legends of Today." Now in Star City, the Bolt and his genius friends from STAR Labs will join the Bow and Team Arrow in devising a plan that could destroy the big bad once and for all.
However, things might not go as they expect it to be. Apparently, Vandal Savage will become the main villain in the spinoff series "Legends of Tomorrow" which is slated to premiere early next year and will feature a handful of heroes from both shows like The Atom (Arrow), The White Canary (Arrow), Captain Cold (The Flash) and Heatwave (The Flash), just to name a few. This means that the baddie will, in some way, escape the justice of the Green Archer and the Scarlet Speedster.

Meanwhile, an interview with Entertainment Weekly together with the cast members of the CW shows reveals some of the exciting aspects that fans should look forward to in this crossover event.
Grant Gustin, who plays the speedforce user, muttered how "huge" the event is, which he further thinks to be "a lot funnier."
"It's huge and you see a lot of characters interacting that you don't normally get to see interacting," he told EW.
For executive producer Marc Guggenheim, making the crossover event become a reality was apparently no easy task.
"I don't think it's possible to overstate the incredible amount of difficulty it was for just about everyone involved," the EP said which includes, "actors being asked to shuttle from one set to two other sets, oftentimes in the course of a single day, to the crews of the different shows."
For Gustin, it was a "logistic nightmare-slash-borderline impossible" for the crossover event to materialize as they have to work until the wee hours of the day just to shoot the whole two episodes.
Nonetheless, Gustin assured fans that the whole effort was more than worth it and that fans will really appreciate what they did.
Don't miss the second part of the "Flash-Arrow" event this Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 8 p.m. on The CW.
