THE FLASH Team-Up Gives ARROW Its Highest Ratings Ever

The CW's Arrow just scored its highest ratings ever thanks to a visit from Central City's Scarlet Speedster. Imagine if one day, Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Teen Titans and all the other DC Comics tv shows in development were to crossover?

Apparently US TV viewers seem to think that Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) make a pretty good team. Last night's Arrow/Flash crossover garnered 3.9 million viewers and a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49. That's the best demo rating for the show and the second most viewers ever (behind the pilot). With the large number of other DC Comics superheroes and superhero teams slated to hit the small screen, the success of the Arrow/Flash crossover bodes well for such events to occur with the future shows.

PART TWO OF THE ARROW AND FLASH CROSSOVER EVENT — Oliver (Stephen Amell),Arsenal (Colton Haynes) and Diggle (David Ramsey) track down the location of a boomerang-wielding killer named Digger Harkness (guest star) but are surprised when they come face to face with an A.R.G.U.S. team. Diggle asks Lyla (guest star) why A.R.G.U.S. is involved but she defers until Harkness attacks the building, killing several agents and targeting Lyla. The Arrow joins the fight and gets help from an old friend – The Flash (guest star Grant Gustin). Harkness manages toget away and Oliver teams up with Barry again to find him before he can get to Lyla. When Harkness plants five bombs in the city that are timed to explode at the same time, both teams must come together to save the city. Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti &Andrew Kreisberg, and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Grainne Godfree Schwartz (#308).

@VulcanRebel we could see atom in action before ant men even tho im not interested in ant men i still would like to see the crossover.the big question is what villain would be good for that type of cross over

Well it was a brilliant they way they marketed this, you got people who only watched one show to view both and I am sure they have gained some new viewership.

Hopefully they will continue to do some crossovers in the future.

Also I still cannot get over how they made Capt. Boomerang into such a badass on the show!

I agree I was hoping for the iconic hat or scarf at least, but either way I was pleased with what was put on the screen.

Wierd to have a Supergirl but no Superman.

Hopefully the writes of Arrow will get a big clue that they can increase ratings if they would add characters with powers to the show.

Hopefully with The Atom they are heading into that direction.

The only good episode of Arrow this season, I hope its a sign of things to come.

Well we need to accept the fact that the Television Universe is just not going to include or mention the big three Batman, Superman, and WW. We have to accept that the universe they are building those characters do not exist.

It is just like Gotham, they are never going to get to the point where Bruce becomes Batman it will only be alluded to. And that is why some fans on this site hate the show so much.

One of my all time favorite Arrow episodes. I don't think I've ever had that much fun watching a TV episode in my life.

I hope they do these crossovers every season!

@JoeMomma29 i agree but i still think think making a supergirl is not exactly what you would exspect from wb.i was hoping for someone different who not really that of a popular superhero someone like booster gold could be a really good character to use.
JoeMomma29
JoeMomma29 - 12/4/2014, 12:19 PM
@Nickk

I agree as well Booster Gold, HourMan, or Blue Beetle need some love!

LOL… Good Idea CW, to make your highest rating show support your crappy Arrow show. Ratings up for the one episode with Flash… I foresee more cross overs your future to get better ratings!

Wish Flash had a better hero to cross over with but I guess Batman and Superman will never make appearances in the Flash;(

I was shocked when they included Oliver's baby mama in the Flash crossover...interesting things to come

@Nickk Well I think they are trying to give some of their superheroines a chance too for a change, which is why they went with Supergirl. We have plenty heroes and villains doing their thing but not too many heroines/villainesses. And its not like DC doesnt have good ones, they just dont get too much exposure. Booster and the guys can all show up in some of the already existing shows, and actually be done well this time unlike in Smallville. they dont necessarily need their own show

The crossover turned out very well. Personally I think the Arrow episode turned out to be the better half. It will only be a matter of time before we see Flash, Green Arrow (as i expect him to be called by that point), Arsenal, Firestorm, Atom, and hopefully Supergirl and Nightwing all on screen together putting in work

Reminded me of the days when Whedon would do Angel/Buffy crossovers. Great episode. Odd that the site seems to be ignoring the recent rise in ratings for Agents of Shield also.

@yunglilmane i agree but supergirl i just can't see it men im sorry i just can't
