‘Arrow,’ ‘The Flash,’ ‘Supergirl,’ ‘Legends Of Tomorrow’ EPs Assemble For Crossover Meeting

It looks like “Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Supergirl” and “Legends of Tomorrow” executive producers continue to brainstorm ideas for this year’s much-anticipated four-way crossover.

Marc Guggenheim revealed on Twitter that he and his fellow Arrowverse executive producers recently had an assembly to talk about the annual special event. As seen in the photo shared by Guggenheim, executive producers Andrew Kreisberg, Wendy Mericle, Todd Helbing, Phil Klemmer, Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller were all present at the sit-down meeting.

Plot details about this year’s crossover are being kept under wraps, but Guggenheim revealed in June that they have already figured out a plan on how they could possibly top last year’s crossover.

Guggenheim told Entertainment Weekly that they are hoping to increase the emotional stakes and the emotional payoffs in this year’s crossover to outdo last year’s “Invasion!”

“If we end up doing what we’re talking about doing, it’s going to be pretty cool,” Guggenheim said. “The crossover is always the most challenging thing we do, but it’s also the most fun.”

“Every year we feel the pressure [to top ourselves],” Guggenheim continued. “I feel like each crossover has topped the previous one.[But] topping last year’s, that’s a high bar. … What do you do that’s bigger than aliens? We’ve got some very, very exciting ideas…. Very early on in the process of doing last year’s crossover, Greg [Berlanti] said there’s probably no way to get bigger than aliens, so the best way to make the [next] crossover especially epic is if you can’t increase the bombast, increase the emotional stakes and the emotional payoffs, so that’s a very oblique comment on where our heads are at for this season.”

Unlike last year’s “Invasion!,” this year’s crossover will only be a two-night event. It will kick off on Monday, Nov. 27, at 8 p.m. EST with “Supergirl” followed by a special Monday episode of “Arrow” at 9 p.m. EST. The special programming block will continue the following day, Tuesday, Nov. 28, with “The Flash” and “Legends of Tomorrow” in their regular time slots, 8 p.m. EST and 9 p.m. EST, respectively.

“Last year’s crossover was our most successful week I believe in CW’s history,” The CW President Mark Pedowitz said (via Entertainment Weekly) at the Television Critics Association summer press tour earlier this month. “We felt that in this particular case, we already had ‘Flash’ and ‘Legends’ paired. It would be better and tighter in terms of storytelling to make it like a two-night, two-hour miniseries. We thought this was a tight, concise way of doing it. Next year, we may go back to four nights.”
