Almost exactly two years from now, the long awaited Justice League movie will hit theaters. But there’s more than enough superheroes on The CW to fill the void!
Next month’s second annual crossover between The Flash and Arrow will feature nine different superheroes, which will make it the biggest live-action DC superhero crossover since Smallville. It’s all part of the lead-in to DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
The storyline of the two-night event begins on The Flash, as Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) are attacked by Vandal Savage (Casper Crump), an immortal villain out to kill Kendra before she can realize her destiny as Hawkgirl. And the arrival of Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) doesn’t make things any easier for Kendra!
A newly released extended trailer for the crossover has been posted by The CW, and it’s has a few spoilers for the origins of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, especially if you aren’t familiar with their comic book counterparts.
Here’s The CW’s synopses for the two episodes:
“Legends of Today”
PART ONE OF THE EPIC CROSSOVER WITH “ARROW” – In its second major crossover event with “Arrow,” Vandal Savage (guest star Casper Crump) arrives in Central City and sets his sights on Kendra Saunders (guest star Ciara Renée). After Vandal attacks Kendra and Cisco (Carlos Valdes), they turn to Barry (Grant Gustin) for help. Realizing how dangerous Vandal is, Barry takes Kendra to Star City and asks Oliver and team to hide her until he can figure out how to stop Vandal. However, things quickly go from bad to worse when a man with wings AKA Hawkman (guest star Falk Hentschel) shows up and flies off with Kendra. Meanwhile, Harrison (Tom Cavanagh) develops a serum to make Barry run faster and asks Jay (guest star Teddy Sears) to test it out.
“Legends of Yesterday”
PART TWO OF THE EPIC CROSSOVER WITH “THE FLASH” – Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Barry Allen (guest star Grant Gustin) take Kendra Saunders (guest star Ciara Renée) and Carter Hall (guest star Falk Henstchel) to a remote location to keep them hidden from Vandal Savage (guest star Casper Crump) while they figure out how to defeat him. Malcolm (John Barrowman) arranges a meeting between Vandal, Green Arrow and The Flash that doesn’t go as planned. Meanwhile, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), Thea (Willa Holland), Diggle (David Ramsey) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy) work with Team Flash to come up with a weapon powerful enough to destroy Vandal Savage.
The Flash kicks off the crossover on Tuesday, December 1, and it will come to a conclusion on Wednesday, December 2 on Arrow.
