Supergirl - EP Andrew Kreisberg on the Crossover: “Kara and Alex are at the center of it through all four hours. ne of the things we’ve been doing a lot this season is getting back to season 1 and really making it Danvers sisters-centric, so a lot of what’s going on this season is Kara and Alex doing things in tandem, and the crossover won’t be any different.”

Arrow - Each character will have a villain matched up (Anatoly/Oliver and Black Siren/Black Canary). Stephen Amell on Vigilante: “I’m not going to tell you who he is, but I will tell you Vigilante is a villain, if you want to call him that, for a member of the team as well.”
