Arrow

The Arrow-verse raised more than a few alarms with an official name-drop of Batman’s alter-ego, but – as always – we must know if it’s too good to be true. Star Stephen Amell now offers some context to his character’s Dark Knight reference, and whether Warner Bros. has softened their position toward Bat-characters on The CW.

Supergirl got the short end of the crossover stick when Arrow, Flash and Legends convened last year, but our first look at “Crisis on Earth-X” is already making up for it. Check out first footage from the crossover event later this month, as Supergirl brings a new character to Earth-1.

The CW’s Arrow has long been labeled a Batman knockoff, though the Caped Crusader himself was reportedly forbidden to appear. Now, this week’s Arrow drops official confirmation that Gotham City exists in their branch of the multi-verse, as does its billionaire playboy.

We weren’t terribly surprised when Supergirl opted for its own Superman rather than shatter universes with a Smallville star, but The CW drama has nonetheless hosted a bevy of Super-cameos. Now, both Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum confirm they’ve been approached to join different Arrow-verse series.

We don’t wish to alarm you, but you may see some DC superheroes at Comic-Con 2017. Not only have all the CW shows set their plans (including Black Lightning), but everyone from Young Justice to Krypton will be representing with panels and appearances. Get the full details!

Just as Arrow Season 5 began with a vision of Laurel Lance’s legacy, our first look at Season 6 is all about the Black Canary as well. See for yourself, as new production art from Season 6 teases a familiar costume, and glass to break in case of emergency.

In the tradition of ScreenCrush series like You Think You Know Movies and You Think You Know TV comes a new YouTube series: Top Five! Every month (or so; we’ve got a lot of other stuff going on), ScreenCrush editor and critic Matt Singer will count down a particular topic from the world of movies (and probably write these introductory posts in the third person).

Well, there’s no two ways about it now: Deathstroke is back! After Arrow at last confirmed Manu Bennett’s Slade Wilson would return in the closing moments of “Missing,” our first Season 5 finale photos and trailer see not only Deathstroke, but Captain Boomerang and more in the “Lian Yu” fray.

It seemed criminal of The CW to head into next week’s four-part crossover between Supergirl, Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow without a fresh trailer, but never fear. See Kara’s fiery relationship with Heat Wave, along with fresh looks at the Dominators and more in brand-new footage!

In case there were any doubt Arrow would survive the four-part alien “Invasion!”, we’re already looking past the crossover to the series 101st episode, and a 2016 finale at that. Find out “What We Leave Behind” in the first photos, as Oliver finally takes on Prometheus, and returns to a classic look from Season 1.

This week’s episode, “A Matter of Trust,” finds Oliver continuing his quest to save Star City both as mayor and as the Green Arrow --- but will his new team ever learn to listen? Will a news anchor make Thea’s life a living nightmare? Will Cody Rhodes make an absolutely dashing new villain? Gregory Smith directed the episode from a script by Ben Sokolowski and Emilio Ortega Aldrich.

To promote all of the DC shows that are premiering on the CW next week (Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow), they've put together an awesome scene with all of our heroes battling it out to Guns N Roses "Welcome To the Jungle".
