Arrow

The CW has confirmed the five-hour Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover will consist of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman.

The network also revealed the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover will air over two quarters, meaning the event will likely consist of midseason finales and midseason premieres for the Arrowverse shows. The Crisis On Infinite Earths episode of Arrow may also serve as it’s series finale considering the show is set to return for a 10-episode final season in fall.

The CW has released the Final Season Synopsis of Arrow.

"After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, Oliver successfully saved his city with the help of his team including former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), former protégé Roy Harper (Colton Haynes), street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez), metahuman Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum) and Earth-2 Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy). In the wake of discovering what his future holds, Oliver will find himself pit against his most challenging battle yet, one that will leave the multiverse hanging in the balance. In Arrow’s final season, Oliver Queen is forced to confront the reality of what it means to be a hero. Based on the characters from DC, ARROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” “Supergirl,” “Riverdale”), Beth Schwartz (“DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”) and Sarah Schechter (“The Flash,” “Supergirl,” “Riverdale”)."
 
It's being reported that Crisis will feature two different Batmen. Kevin Conroy will be playing the Kingdom come Batman but will not be dawning the costume. The second Batman will be suiting up but it is unknown who is playing the second Batman or which version of Batman it will be. It is also being reported that David Ramsey (John Diggle) will be playing The Green Lantern from a different Earth. Finally it was recently confirmed that Michael Rosenbaum will be reprising his role of Lex Luthor (Smallville) in the crossover.
 
" Arrow - Female-Led Spinoff in the Works at The CW


The CW is not quite ready to say goodbye to Star City.

The network is developing a spinoff of Arrow that would center on three of its female characters: Katherine McNamara's Mia Smoak/Green Arrow and the Canaries, Katie Cassidy's Laurel Lance and Juliana Harkavy's Dinah Drake.

The potential series is set to air as a backdoor pilot in Arrow's 10-episode final season, which begins Oct. 15. Showrunner Beth Schwartz, Marc Guggenheim, Jill Blankenship and Oscar Balderrama are co-writing the episode and will serve as executive producers along with Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter of Berlanti Productions, which produces all of The CW's DC Comics series in association with Warner Bros. TV.

CW president Mark Pedowitz told reporters in August that the door was open to another spinoff of Arrow, which spawned the connected universe that also encompasses The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and the soon-to-debut Batwoman.

"Nothing is ever 100 percent done," Pedowitz said at the time. "You learn that over time. There's a possibility, but we haven't had a discussion about what that storyline will do as [we plot the] next generation [of DC shows]. There is another property we're looking at for the following season."

The CW announced in March that Arrow's eighth season would be its last. "This was a difficult decision to come to, but like every hard decision we’ve made for the past seven years, it was with the best interests of Arrow in mind," Schwartz, Berlanti and Guggenheim said in a joint statement. "We’re heartened by the fact that Arrow has birthed an entire universe of shows that will continue on for many years to come. We’re excited about crafting a conclusion that honors the show, its characters and its legacy and are grateful to all the writers, producers, actors and — more importantly — the incredible crew that has sustained us and the show for over seven years."

The pilot order arrives as The CW is weeks away from launching the next phase of its Arrow-verse with Ruby Rose-led Batwoman. Pedowitz has been open about entering what he called the "next generation" of his DC shows. The younger-skewing network's current roster includes The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and Black Lightning.

Berlanti, meanwhile, currently has a TV-record 19 live-action scripted shows in the works and several more in development across multiple broadcast networks and premium cabler Showtime. The prolific producer continues to help launch new writers and program nearly two-third of The CW's full primetime lineup. Via his $400 million overall deal with Warners, he has clauses in his contract that provide bonuses for reaching a certain number of shows.

The Arrow-verse has become a network-defining brand for The CW, with The Flash ranking as its most-watched original series. The decision to do yet another spinoff from Arrow comes as the network is saying goodbye to the flagship as well as long-running staple Supernatural this year. Last season, The CW parted ways with critical darlings Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. With both of those female-focused shows having wrapped, The CW is leaning deeper into female-fronted programming with Batwoman and now this Arrow spinoff.

This is The CW's first pilot order of the 2019-2020 broadcast season.

I actually liked the flashforward scenes last season it had new characters and different takes on older characters.
 
More "Crisis" cameos/rumors.

Reports are that Robert Wuhl (Arli$$) has signed on to reprise his role of newspaper reporter Alexander Knox from the 1989 Tim Burton Batman film. We know the film will be referenced in "Crisis" thanks to this picture taken from the set of filming last week.

Other rumors circling (and it was reported he was in talks to appear) that Justin Hartley (This is Us) will reprise his role as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow from Smallville.
 
Wow! What a season premier! If you plan on watching the Crisis on Infinite Earths episodes then last night's Final season premier of Arrow as well as the second episode of The Flash is must watch!

If last night's episodes were comics they would have the (Tie-In) above the title.

Also they happened to drop the (full) name of another billionaire playboy who likes to hang out in caves.🤔

Crisis on Infinite Earth casting news...
Actor Stephen Lobo has been cast as Detective Jim Corrigan, AKA The Spectre

It is unknown whether this will be just Det. Jim Corrigan appearing or if we'll actually see the Spectre.
 
Episode 1 was amazing. All the feels and throw backs were amazing. If Arrow would have keep being lik this episode instead of getting wussified like it did for a few seasons it would still be going. I still believe they are pulling a Miami Vice and trying to get the ratings up to justify keeping it going for a few more seasons
