Arrow and The Flash will have a two-hour crossover event; Wentworth Miller cast as Captain Cold

Come this fall on The CW, Oliver Queen/ Stephen Amell and Barry Allen/ Grant Gustin will be busy with their respective adventures as Arrow starts its third season and The Flash debuts its very first run.

But both heroes will also apparently have time to chat and interact once more, as news has it that come the eighth episodes of both shows, Arrow and The Flash will have a "two-hour crossover event" that literally sees the makings of a "Brave and the Bold" team-up that DC Comics fans and viewers will definitely enjoy, if the previously released "Don't Blink" teaser for The Flash wasn't enough to give a taste of that potential prospect that's now going to be a reality.

The Flash First Look: Don't Blink
In related Flash news and also according to producer Andrew Kreisberg, Arrow supporting character Felicity Smoak (played by Emily Bett Rickards) will be appearing in Episode 4 of the spinoff series, supposedly to visit Barry, which will certainly be interesting now that the latter's out of his coma and this will be the first time both characters see each other after Season 2.

Finally, Prison Break and Resident Evil Retribution star Wentworth Miller has been cast as one of The Flash's most well known adversaries - Leonard Snart, aka Captain Cold.

The character is slated to appear in the same episode Felicity will be in, and may perhaps return in future episodes down the line. For more information, visit the source post at Comic Book.com.

The CW will give "Arrow" guest hero "The Flash" his own TV Pilot

In a few weeks, a certain Scarlet Speedster DC Comics hero will grace the small screen in The CW's popular superhero TV show "Arrow", as Glee's Grant Gustin debuts as Barry Allen/ The Flash on episodes 8 & 9 of the currently ongoing 2nd Season. However, that's not all the good news there is to it, as a new announcement literally seals the deal that the new guy to lace up the boots of the Fastest Man Alive for television will be getting his very own Pilot!

In a report by Deadline and also showing up in Superherohype and Newsarama, Gustin will still be appearing and debuting as Barry Allen and his alter ego, but his origin story will now be told in his own TV Show pilot, instead of dedicating an episode based on the superhero Green Arrow as a backdoor pilot. This decision came about when positive reception came from within the studio for the two-part Flash centered story arc, and Arrow creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg will return to write alongside DC Comics' own Geoff Johns, with Arrow pilot director Dave Nutter helming "The Flash" pilot as well.
