Anticipation for this year’s four way “Arrowverse” crossover is at an all time high right now. “Arrow” executive producer Marc Guggenheim recently shared a picture of the four scripts for the crossover, and this time around it will be a true four way crossover because “Supergirl” will play a bigger role in setting up the story.

“Arrow” will be moving to Thursdays this year, and Stephen Amell previously said that he would like for the show to be the anchor of the crossover, but unfortunately Amell won’t be getting his wish. “Arrow” will air immediately after “Supergirl” for a special one night only showing on Monday, and the four way crossover will take place over the course of two nights.
That means DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” will once again be the anchor the crossover event, and Marc Guggenheim shared a new photo from the “Legends” episode. Check out the photo below.

Fans have speculated that the mask could belong to DC Comics character Sandy Hawkins, the original Sandman’s sidekick. Hawkins at one point joined the JSA and went by the name Sand.
The JSA was introduced in the second season of DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” and if the theories are correct, it looks like the Justice Society of America could be a plot point that gets revisited in the crossover.
DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” will return for season 3 on Tuesday, October 10.
After the defeat of Eobard Thawne and his equally nefarious Legion of Doom, the Legends face a new threat created by their actions at the end of last season. In revisiting a moment in time that they had already participated in, they have essentially fractured the timeline and created anachronisms – a scattering of people, animals, and objects all across time! Our team must find a way to return all the anachronisms to their original timelines before the time stream falls apart. But before our Legends can jump back into action, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) and his newly established Time Bureau call their methods into question.
With the Time Bureau effectively the new sheriffs in town, the Legends disband – until Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) discovers one of them in the middle of his well-deserved vacation in Aruba. Seeing this as an opportunity to continue their time traveling heroics, Sara (Caity Lotz) wastes no time in getting the Legends back together. We reunite with billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), the unconventional historian-turned-superhero Nick Heywood (Nick Zano), and Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm.
Once reunited, the Legends will challenge the Time Bureau’s authority over the timeline and insist that however messy their methods may be, some problems are beyond the Bureau’s capabilities. Some problems can only be fixed by Legends.
