Two heroes are about to come face-to-face yet again in one of the most anticipated television events of the fall.
A few months ago, we reported that a pair of crossover episodes for the CW’s The Flash and Arrow were in the works. Details were scarce then, but now, the network has released the synopses for the two-night event that finds Oliver Queen and Barry Allen joining forces to take down some rogues.
Here’s what’s going down:
The Flash
“Flash vs. Arrow” Tuesday, December 2
Barry (Grant Gustin) is thrilled when Oliver (guest star Stephen Amell), Felicity (guest star Emily Bett Rickards), and Diggle (guest star David Ramsey) come to Central City to investigate a case involving a deadly boomerang. Excited about teaming up with his friend, Barry asks Oliver if he’d like to help him stop Ray Bivolo, the meta-human Barry is currently tracking. Bivolo causes people to lose control of their emotions and has been using that skill to rob banks. Unfortunately, the superhero partnership doesn’t go as smoothly as Barry expected. When Oliver tells Barry he still has a lot to learn, Barry sets out to prove him wrong by attempting to stop Bivolo alone. However, when Bivolo infects Barry and sets him on a rage rampage, everyone is in danger, and the only one who can stop him is the Arrow. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) is furious when Eddie (Rick Cosnett) tries to get a task force to stop The Flash; Joe and Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) agree the Arrow is a bad influence on Barry; and Caitlin and Cisco deal with a new team in S.T.A.R. Labs.
Arrow
“The Brave and the Bold” Wednesday, December 3
Oliver (Stephen Amell), Arsenal (Colton Haynes), and Diggle (David Ramsey) track down the location of a boomerang-wielding killer named Digger Harkness (guest star Nick Tarabay) but are surprised when they come face to face with an A.R.G.U.S. team. Diggle asks Lyla (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson) why A.R.G.U.S. is involved, but she defers until Harkness attacks the building, killing several agents and targeting Lyla. The Arrow joins the fight and gets help from an old friend—The Flash (guest star Grant Gustin). Harkness manages to get away, and Oliver teams up with Barry again to find him before he can get to Lyla. When Harkness plants five bombs in the city that are timed to explode at the same time, both teams must come together to save the city.
As mentioned above, the two episodes will feature some new villains: Rainbow Raider and Captain Boomerang.
In the comics, Rainbow Raider can remove color from objects and even has the ability to even blind his foes by removing their eyes’ ability to process colors. On the show however, it appears that Roy G. Bivolo
has the coolest and most colorful name (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet)
can make people lose emotional control. He will come in contact with Barry, causing him to be filled with destruction-causing anger.
Captain Boomerang, also known Digger Harkness (Nick Tarabay), will be portrayed a skilled ex-A.R.G.U.S operative specializing in martial arts and espionage training, who’s out for revenge against his former employer. Though the character is appearing on Arrow, his comic book arch depicts him as an enemy of the Flash with ties to the Suicide Squad.
The Flash and Arrow crossover episodes kick off December 2 with “Flash vs. Arrow” and wrap up with “The Brave and the Bold” on December 3.
