It has been hyped really since the beginning of the season, but come December 1, it will finally be here: The official crossover for “Arrow“and “The Flash,” which you could look at in some ways as the pilot for DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow.” These are two episodes (entitled “Legends of Today” and “Legends of Yesterday”) that will air over two days, and they will help to set up the formation of this team, and also the arrival of Vandal Savage, a ruthless killer who is thousands of years old. He is the Big Bad of the new series, and seeing him in action should make for interesting television.
The promo below is all sorts of awesome, mostly for what it gives us when it comes to Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and seeing so many characters together. Meanwhile, the synopsis offers us further details on what to expect:
“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.”
These two episodes are much more linked than the crossover was last year, so with that in mind, know that you really are looking at a larger commitment this time around … though there are also going to be at least a few stories in here that are relevant more to “The Flash,” and to the long term story there.
