Year 2014 is big for comics fans and one of those that made it an important one are the The Flash Arrow crossover episodes. For two nights, fans got to see Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) fought each other as well as hunt villains together. Those episodes, aired on December 8 (The Flash) and December 9 (Arrow), sent the two CW Network superhero shows to new heights.
Fans are still stoked about The Flash Arrow crossover episodes. Some are even asking, will there be more of those? Well, CW Network hasn't made any comments about another hybrid of the two shows. While waiting for another team up between the scarlet speedster and the green vigilante, you can relive those episodes on your TV as CW announced that "Flash vs Arrow" and "The Brave and the Bold" will get special back-to-back airing next month.
"The CW announced today that it will air the two crossover episodes between The Flash and Arrow back-to-back on January 13, taking advantage of a week with almost no new programming airing to re-run their ratings-grabbing, two-hour TV event all at once rather than split up over two days.
Tuesday, January 13, The Flash will air "Flash Vs. Arrow" at 8 p.m. ET/PT, while the 9 p.m. slot will be filled by the Arrow episode "The Brave and the Bold."
The Flash-Arrow crossover episodes fared great in ratings. Flash vs Arrow attracted 4.34 million viewers while The Brave and the Bold gave Arrow its highest ratings since first season at 3.92 million.
The Flash-Arrow crossover episodes are probably your best solution for having Barry Allen or Oliver Queen withdrawal as both shows are on a hiatus. The Flash's 10th episode, titled Revenge of the Rogues, will see the S.T.A.R. Labs team face a familiar foe in Leonard Snart a.k.a. Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) who brings in Heatwave (Dominic Purcell). Arrow's 10th episode, called Left Behind, will see Oliver's team face the fact that their hero died in the hands of Rha's al Ghul.
