just finished watching the epic two night crossover between Arrow and The Flash and it exceeded every expectations that I had.
If you wanted a taste of what Batman v Superman will be like then you got it with this crossover which started last night with Oliver and his team visiting Central City. I thought that yesterday's episode was spectacular, It gave a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why Arrow would fight Barry. I thought that the fight was brilliantly filmed and very realistic. Barry had superpowers while Ollie had knowledge and precision. I thought that it all worked perfectly and I especially loved the part where Barry tells Oliver he's jealous of him. I thought that that scene alone showed why Arrow is the superior man and the leader of this tv justice league. He is calm and he always thinks before acting, his experience is what makes him great ( exactly like Batman in the justice league).
The end of the first part of the crossover was spectacular to say the least, we first got to see Sandra Hawke, the mother of Connor Hawke aka Oliver son. That storyline promises to be very good since in the comics Connor becomes the Green Arrow following his father footsteps.
However I really jumped out of my seat when I saw firestorm for the first time. Ronnie Raymond is alive and it will be awesome to see him as part of the Flash storyline.
One thing that I feel they could have done better is the link between the two episodes. I thought it was kind of strange to see The Flash crew in Starling City without a believable motive although the story doesn't take place the day after the events of Central City but perhaps a few weeks after, because Barry says that he has been practicing what Oliver taught him.Anyway I thought that Arrow episode was a bit weaker that yesterday's episode. I thought that Captain Boomerang could have been better considering that he's a great character. Most scenes could have been handled better like when Boomerang gets into the Arrow cave and somehow doesn't decide to finish the job he started and leaves after almost killing his target.
Speaking of the Arrow cave, how awesome is this name? How about the Arrow mobile? Even though Batman is not in this universe his presence is palpable with all these references.
Nevertheless the end of the episode was great with Barry saving the city from the bombs and Oliver defeating Boomerang. The final scene was even greater with Barry and Oliver deciding to find out, once and for all, who would win in a fight between them.
Now, I know what you are all thinking... How can the next episodes be as great as these? The answer is simple next week's The Flash will feature Professor Zoom or Reverse Flash and Arrow's episode will feature The Demon himself Ra's Al Ghul.Take a look!!!
