New Details Revealed In THE FLASH Season 2, Episode 7 Description; "Flash vs. Arrow"
The CW have released the first official description for "Flash vs. Arrow", the first half of the highly anticipated crossover between the two shows. In it, we learn that it's the debut of another DC Comics villain which is the cause of the heroes coming to blows...
PART ONE OF THE EPIC CROSSOVER EVENT WITH THE FLASH AND ARROW — Barry(Grant Gustin) is thrilled when Oliver (guest star Stephen Amell), Felicity (guest star Emily Bett Rickards) and Diggle (guest star David Ramsey) come to Central City to investigate a case involving a deadly boomerang. Excited about teaming up with his friend, Barry asks Oliver if he’d like to help him stop Ray Bivolo (guest star Patrick Sabongui), the meta-human Barry is currently tracking. Bivolo causes people to lose control of their emotions and has been using that skill to robbanks. Unfortunately, the superhero partnership doesn’t go as smoothly as Barry expected. When Oliver tells Barry he still has a lot to learn, Barry sets out to prove him wrong by attempting to stopBivolo alone. However, when Bivolo infects Barry and sets him on a rage rampage, everyone is in danger, and the only one who can stop him is the Arrow. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) is furious when Eddie (Rick Cosnett) tries to get a task force to stop The Flash, Joe and Dr. Wells(Tom Cavanagh) agree the Arrow is a bad influence on Barry, and Caitlin and Cisco deal with a newteam in S.T.A.R. Labs. Glen Winter directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & AndrewKreisberg and teleplay by Ben Sokolowski & Brooke Eikmeier (#107).
In the comic books, Ray Bivolo was first known as "Rainbow Raider", but got renamed "Chroma" when he made his debut in "The New 52" continuity. Of course, his small screen debut isn't anywhere near as interesting as the rest of the information included within this description of the first part of the Arrow/The Flash crossover, and at least we now know what leads to the two heroes exchanging blows! How the rest of Central City reacts to The Arrow's presence is also intriguing...
