It’s April 24, 2024 - Today The Flash Vanishes In The Future

 

If you are a fan of The Flash and have followed the television series released under the “Arrowverse” on The CW, then you’d know that today’s date is significant as far as a certain timeline in a possible future of the show goes!

On April 25, 2024 The Flash goes missing and vanishes during a crisis - alluding to Barry Allen’s sacrifice during the events of “Crisis On Infinite Earths” as depicted during the famous comic book crossover event but of course happening differently in the Arrowverse. Since the CW Flash series ended nearly two years ago it never managed to reach this date - but the plotline was resolved and retconned eventually during the show’s run and Barry survives and gets his happy ending in the end with his lady love Iris West Allen and his friends.

Still we honor this date in popular culture history, and so did the official The Flash FB page and Barry Allen actor Grant Gustin on his official Instagram!

Arrow Season 8 Poster sees the Emerald Archer ready for one last season

Shared directly from his Facebook page, Oliver Queen actor Stephen Amell signals that the curtain call for the Arrowverse’s premiere series is near, as the final season of Arrow has a new poster released, with the tagline “Heroes Fall. Legends Rise” accompanying it.

As the eight and last season for The CW show, Arrow has climbed up the ladder significantly in helping DC get a foothold in its TV based programs - creating a shared universe that began with “The Flash”, “Legends of Tomorrow”, adopting “Supergirl”, and then later this year adding Batwoman. Another show, “Black Lightning”, may get its chance to crossover with the coming event “Crisis on Infinite Earths”. That story arc begins this fall, and  Arrow’s final run of 10 episodes will factor in as this last season runs its course.

Arrow Season 8 premieres on The CW on October 15.

SDCC '19: Arrow Season 8/ The Final Season Comic-Con Trailer

In what is certainly an exciting time for DC on the CW as they prepare for the coming of their epic "Crisis On Infinite Earths" crossover along with the rest of the returning and brand new shows in the Arrowverse, it's bittersweet to see that its flagship program "Arrow" will be taking a bow with its eighth season this year. Indeed, as Oliver Queen (played by the talented Stephen Amell) made the heroic decision to save The Flash and Supergirl in the last DC on the CW event - it came with a price and The Monitor came back to collect at the end of Season 7 with The Green Arrow going off on a multiversal journey to help save the universe.

What happens and how that adventure plays out will be told in 10 episodes that make up this final season. Check out the Comic-Con Trailer from SDCC 2019 and see a montage of past events, as well as teases of what's to come and some new outfits for characters we all know and love (like Laurel Lance from Earth Two in her new Black Canary costume).

DC on the CW: 2017 crossover is called "Crisis on Earth-X" and begins on November 27

Finally revealing what the plans are for this year's annual DC on the CW crossover is, a spectacular comic book cover poster was revealed by DC Entertainment and The CW to announced "Crisis on Earth-X" -  the two-night special crossover event that will happen between Arrow, The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl on November 27 and 28. Moving from its new Thursday timeslot, Arrow will be the headliner show beginning the crossover with Supergirl continuing things on November 27th, while Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash finish things off on the 28th.

Evoking "Crisis on Infinite Earths" and the numerous DC crossover events, this is DC on the CW's biggest looking comic-esque crossover to date. While the plot is still shrouded in mystery, all that's known is that alternate evil versions of the heroes hailing from Earth-X, who crash the wedding of Barry Allen and Iris West. Also appearing is The Ray, who is the star of a new animated series called "Freedom Fighters: The Ray" which will premiere on The CW.

With the cover drawn by Phil Jimenez, the producers of The CW's slate of DC shows told what inspired them to create this crossover (as posted on Comic Book.com)

“We conceived this year’s crossover to be evocative of the annual Justice League/Justice Society crossovers we grew up with and looked forward to as kids," said executive producers Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim in a statement. "Phil was the perfect choice to bring the comic book cover iteration of this idea to life. You can count on one hand the number of artists who could compellingly represent so many characters in a single image. Phil is one of them. And his design invokes the cover of Justice League #207, which was the 20th Annual JLA/JSA crossover. Our ten year-old selves are in heaven.” 

"Some of the first DC Comics I ever read were those insane crossovers with a dozen characters from alternate earths and dimensions -- the kind of stuff I later became known for!" Jimenez said. "So when CW asked me to do an homage cover inspired by those amazing team up covers, I couldn't resist, the chance to draw all of The CW’s DC Super-Heroes in one crazy action sequence was insanely fun and exciting. And Romulo Fajardo'a colors brought everything to life!”

Supergirl: Last Children of Krypton poster evokes Crisis on Infinite Earths #7

Set to air tonight and already looking as epic as the cover that inspired the one sheet itself, The CW has released a brand new promotional poster via their Facebook page for "Supergirl" that sees Melissa Benoist's Girl of Steel unconscious and being held by her own cousin Superman (played by Tyler Hoeclin) - who comes to her rescue after she is injured from a kryptonite powered villain.

The poster of course takes inspiration from the cover to "Crisis on Infinite Earths #7" - which sees Superman carrying and mourning the fallen body of Supergirl after she sacrifices her life to try and stop the Anti-Monitor. That storyline of course isn't happening in the TV Series, but to see The CW pay homage to that bit of comic history is a nice touch. In fact, the network has released a few clips for the upcoming episode like this one below
