It has been said before, but we got the reminder that Flashpoint will indeed affect Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow as Barry’s action in the Season 2 finale will have effects across the whole DC TV Universe and probably how Supergirl gets into the same universe this fall.

After the spectacular crossover between The Flash and Supergirl back in April, it was revealed that another crossover between these specific shows will be happening, but this time…as a musical!

Gorilla City The Flash

2-PART GORILLA CITY ARC IN SEASON 3

We got the tease of Gorilla City back in Season 2 after we saw Gorilla Grodd get sent to a very specific place on Earth-2 during his last encounter with Barry. Andrew Kreisberg revealed that we should look forward to a 2-part episode arc in Gorilla City this season!

“Blinded by anger, Barry unwittingly plays into Zoom’s game and uncovers the evil speedster’s true goal: to destroy all Earths in the multiverse. In the race of his life, Barry ultimately gets the upper hand against Zoom and defeats his nemesis. But unable to celebrate victory, Barry makes a world-shaking decision and speeds back in time to the night his mother died to stop Reverse Flash from killing her, irrevocably changing his past and redetermining his future.”
