The CW has a massive final week in February planned for fans of The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow. Is it a love letter to us? If so, I don’t even mind that it’s belated. Let’s start with The Flash. Though we won’t be seeing any more of Grodd and Gorilla City this season, we are getting a reprise of King Shark, something that comic fans never thought The Flash would feature in the first place (and it was glorious). Adding to his return, Diggle (David Ramsey) and Lila (Audrey Marie Anderson) will also be heading over to Central City to help out (so also, a mini-crossover — huzzah!)
On Arrow, we also have new details on the debut of Vixen (Megalyn E.K.), who has been starring in her own animated series on the CW Seed. That series just got picked up for a second season, but “Taken” will feature her first live-action debut. And speaking of Arrow, we reported recently that Stephen Amell will be heading over to Legends of Tomorrow as Future Green Arrow (a.k.a old man Arrow missing an arm), which should be an interesting switch-up for him. Read about all of the upcoming madness below:
“ARROW’S” DIGGLE (DAVID RAMSEY) AND LILA (AUDREY MARIE ANDERSON) CROSS OVER TO “THE FLASH” TO TAKE ON KING SHARK – When King Shark escapes from an A.R.G.U.S. holding tank, Lila (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson) and Diggle (David Ramsey) travel to Central City to warn The Flash (Grant Gustin). King Shark shows up at the West house and attacks Joe (Jesse L. Martin), Iris (Candice Patton), Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) and Barry. Hanelle Culpepper directed the episode written by Benjamin Raab & Deric A. Hughes (#215). Original airdate 2/23/16.
VIXEN JOINS TEAM ARROW – Oliver (Stephen Amell) realizes he needs help battling Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) so he calls in an old friend – Vixen (guest star Megalyn E.K.). Using her magical ability to summon animal powers, Vixen gets a lock on Darhk’s location and the team goes to war. Meanwhile, Thea (Willa Holland) has a heart-to-heart talk with Malcolm (John Barrowman). Gregory Smith directed the episode with story by Marc Guggenheim and teleplay by Keto Shimizu & Brian Ford Sullivan (#415). Original airdate 2/24/16.
