The Trial Of The Flash Begins In New Synopsis For THE FLASH And More DC TV Shows Returning In 2018

The CW has released the synopses for Supergirl, The Flash, and Arrow's midseason premieres and as well as a divided Team Arrow and Barry's trial, we're set to witness the Legion of Superheroes' arrival!

Each of The CW's DC TV shows ended on a pretty major cliffhanger earlier this year, with Supergirl left comatose, Team Arrow betrayed, and Barry Allen framed for the murder of The Thinker. Now, synopses for each of these shows have been released and they provide some insight into what comes next. 

As you can see, Supergirl's world is about to collide with the Legion of Superheroes when Brainiac-5 arrives in National City, while The Flash is going to
adapt the famous "Trial of The Flash" storyline.

In Arrow, it appears as if the team will be undergoing some huge changes and Oliver Queen's battle with the mysterious Cayden James is going to heat up in a huge way. What do you guys think of these latest details? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts on this in the comments section.

Supergirl - "Legion of Superheroes"
 
MEET THE LEGION – Struggling to heal from her injuries inflicted by Reign (Odette Annable), Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) remains in a dreamlike state, unable to be reached. Mon-El (Chris Wood) recruits one of the Legion members, Brainiac-5 (guest star Jesse Rath), to try to bring her back. Meanwhile, Reign continues her rampage on the city so the DEO teams up with the Legion of Superheroes to try to stop her. Jesse Warn directed the episode written by Derek Simon & Eric Carrasco.

The Flash - "The Trial Of The Flash"

BARRY FIGHTS FOR HIS LIFE — As Barry’s (Grant Gustin) trial for the murder of Clifford DeVoe begins, Iris (Candice Patton) and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) must decide how far they are willing to go to keep Barry out of prison. Philip Chipera directed the episode written by Lauren Certo & Kristen Kim.

Arrow - "Divided"
 
OLIVER DISCOVERS A SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT CAYDEN JAMES — Despite losing half his team, Oliver (Stephen Amell) remains confident that he, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and Diggle (David Ramsey) can stop Cayden James (guest star Michael Emerson) and Black Siren (Katie Cassidy). However, when he discovers one of Cayden’s secrets, he decides to team up with an unlikely ally. Meanwhile, Dinah (Juliana Harkavy) spends time with Vince (guest star Johann Urb). James Bamford directed the episode written by Ben Sokolowski & Emilio Ortega Aldrich.

After the crossover, I think the Arrowverse really needs to get it’s idea of the Multiverse straight. At first they said there were infinite earths but now they say there are only 52. Does that mean there are multiple DC Comics Multiverses? A DC Omniverse? They should just have one Multiverse like Marvel. That would avoid having a TV Multiverse, a comics Multiverse, ect.

there is literally no reason for Barry Allen to not reveal to the world he's the Flash. The only reason heroes typically do that is to keep their loved ones safe and private lives secret.

Well, all of Barrys loved ones are either dead or are on Team Flash. So there's absolutely no one to protect, and his life basically is being the Flash at this point.

If they make a short but cool sub-arc of Barry in prison for The Trial of the Flash it would be great. Very excited.

Legion of Superheroes at last. Wonder how they are gonna handle Reign.

Arrow's synopsis could be what turns around the Season and kicks it into high gear, hopefully.

@joshwilding time to write an article about how the DC TV universe vs the DC Cinematic universe? The TV universe seems to be performing better than the cinematic one. Profitability, feedback from fans, management structures, show runners, etc... What's making one universe work whereas the other is in dire straits? What strategies are the TV universe using that matches the MCU's, and what can WB learn from this?

Didn't this sick bastard keep trying to change time just so Iris West could fall in love with him? Maybe I'm wrong....I dunno. Isn't she more like a sister to him than a friend?....Someone tell me please.
