The CW has had great success with comic book shows over the past few years, but fans can’t forget that it all started with “Arrow.” Barry Allen was introduced in “Arrow” and it was the original place to be when it comes to CW crossovers.

The crossovers have expanded over recent seasons and they’ve included characters from DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” and “Supergirl.” The big “Invasion!” crossover that took place in 2016 saw the heroes of the “Arrowverse” battle the Dominators, and it was a huge success.
During a panel at PaleyFest on Saturday night, Stephen Amell confirmed that the CW president has assured him more crossovers are on the way.

Amell was even nice enough to pitch a pretty interesting idea for an upcoming crossover episode.

The four way “Invasion!” crossover was a huge success, but many fans were critical of the fact that although Supergirl was a part of the crossover, her show was only involved in the crossover for a few minutes.
Producer Andrew Kreisberg noted that the plan is to do a true four way crossover this year.

Felicity Smoak and Oliver Queen have an interesting past. They’ve been teammates and lovers, but they’re currently both pursuing romance elsewhere. Stephen Amell wouldn’t confirm whether or not they’ll be getting back together in the future, but he did say that they have some “really cool stuff coming up.”

“Prometheus (Josh Segarra) goes to great lengths to break Oliver (Stephen Amell). Meanwhile, in the flashbacks, Anatoly (guest star David Nykl) becomes worried about Oliver’s increasingly violent tendencies, which come to a head in a brutal confrontation. Kevin Tancharoen directed the episode written by Brian Ford Sullivan & Emilio Ortega Aldrich.”
