It was yesterday that we learned when this year's Arrowverse crossover will air over two nights and now a few more details about what we should expect from the event have been revealed. The CW President Mark Pedowitz has said that "romance is in the air" for our heroes and now The Flash executive producer Greg Berlanti has expanded on that by saying it will feature a "big life event."

"Our way of making the show bigger this year was to go even more personal," he explains, "so it’s a big life event for a few different people on the show. There are many life events that happen." What could he be talking about? Well, speculation is already running rampant online that the heroes will all be brought together here for an event as momentous as the wedding of Barry Allen to Iris West. 

We'll just have to wait and see on that but Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim went on to explain that there's a very specific reason for why the crossover is now taking place over two nights.

"We’re really approaching this big four-part event as two back-to-back two hour movies, and I think when you look at it through that lens, it becomes less important for the Supergirl episode to feel like a Supergirl episode and the Arrow episode to feel like an Arrow episode, which was always our approach in the past." What are you guys hoping it will entail? Let us know your thoughts below.

I didn't watch any of the DC shows last year (except the first half of Arrow's fifth season, please kill me). So, of Gotham, Flash, Legends, Supergirl, or Arrow, which ones if any should I make an effort to watch?

And don't bullshit me, guys. People told me Arrow's second season was so good and then... pffft...

@Spock0Clock - They're all fun, but Gotham is light years ahead of the others.

So with where this is OBVIOUSLY heading, why isn't DC re-packaging those amazing late-seventies Cary Bates stories. Starting with new-to-Flash Editor Ross Andru in #270, and later with the addition of "permanent" CLASSIC artist Carmine Infantino in #296, the title becomes a must-read comic.

And I'm not talking about those cheap Showcase volumes either.

I have an agreement with my superhero-loving, 17 year old daughter: I'll watch the crossover events, with the exception of Legends. Won't do it.

As a side note I'm so embarrassed for Garber.

@KrazyForKomix - Legends S2 was a huge improvement over the first season. Garber seems to be having a blast though. Especially to me at least

@waynebags -
It exists firmly in the DC/CW Universe, yet it plays fast and loose with Flash's time travel "laws." I know it's supposed to be a fun sci-fi romp, but it reminds me, in tone and focus, of SyFy's "Warehouse 13." I had such I hopes for both, but making cognitive sense out of either is nigh on impossible.

Romance is for lifetime movies.. so is Amel's whiney acting. I'm done with CW/DC if they don't cut this nonsense out.

@Psalm51 - Cut out the nonsense that is.....romance? Did you just turn ten and forget your cootie shot? Hate to break it to you but romance is a part of life and also comic books

@Psalm51 - Did you even watch the last season of Arrow? Amell (not Amel, btw) was AWESOME, especially as the season went on.

Romance for adventure maybe.

The element of love is present in many ways. First proper crossover featured Barry's love for Iris and how her smile was something that not even science could explain and then Iris' love for Flash meeting a downside when she was him acting bad.

Then the next year we had Cisco and Kendra in the 2nd crossover and the bad parts of Olicity.

And while the Dominator crossover didn't feature any signs of romance there was an element of "what if" between Oliver and the memory of Laurel in that constructed reality and Stein's conflicted feelings to his "aberration" created daughter Lily which ultimately motivates him & Jax to save the day. (And even hide the nature of her existence from the Legends)

Don't do it Barry. Iris will let herself go immediately!

Maybe Joe gets married. His love life seems more permanent than Barry's.
