ARROW NEWS:

                                        

1. Arrowverse Crossover Heads to Chicago For Gotham City Scenes (Date: 2 Nov 2018)
   1. Production has moved to Chicago, where the city will stand-in for Gotham City. The news came courtesy of producer and former Arrow showrunner Marc Guggenheim, who shared a couple of pictures from the "Elseworlds" set in Chicago. "If you can’t bring Wayne Enterprises to Vancouver, you bring Vancouver to Wayne Enterprises.” This move is noteworthy considering that, so far, all of the Arrowverse shows have been filming in Vancouver. With Chicago playing the role of Gotham City, it's become clear that the iconic home of Batman will have an identity of its own on television, one that sets it apart from the likes of Star City, Central City and National City.

2. Stephen Amell Got the Perfect Gift From 'The Flash' Wardrobe Department After the "Elseworlds" Crossover (Date: 6 Nov 2018)
   1. In a photo shared to Twitter, Amell revealed that he was given a very special t-shirt poking a little bit of fun at the fact that the actor wore the Flash's speedster suit for some of the crossover. As you can see in the photo, the shirt reads "My name is Stephen Amell and I have survived the tightest suit alive." The sentiment is a clever play on the opening of each episode of The Flash in which Grant Gustin's Barry Allen declares himself to be the fastest man alive.
