On the heels of _Justice League_, DCTV is having its own superhero team up in the form of the CW crossover special event. It’s going to happen over two nights on Nov 27-28. Note that, for the crossover only, _Arrow_ will move from Thursday to Monday, airing right after _Supergirl_. This is going to be a true four-way crossover, fully integrating all the shows. Crossover synopsis: > [@](#): > > Barry (guest star Grant Gustin) and Iris’s (guest star Candice Patton) wedding brings the gang together, but things go awry when villains from Earth-X attack the ceremony. All of the superheroes band together with help from their super friends like Citizen Cold (guest star Wentworth Miller), The Ray (guest star Russell Tovey), Felicity Smoak (guest star Emily Bett Rickards), Iris West and Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) to take on their most formidable villains yet. Earth’s mightiest heroes – Green Arrow (guest star Stephen Amell), Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), The Flash (guest star Grant Gustin) and White Canary (guest star Caity Lotz) – lead their teams into battle to save the world. The description is the same for all four shows, just with the guest stars switched around. Earth-X, in the DCverse, is the parallel Earth where the Nazis won World War II. As with last season, we can talk about the crossover here rather than discussion being discussed across four different threads.

So I’ll actually have to watch Supergirl this time and it won’t just be a 30 second scene at the end? ---

Indeed. I’ve heard it described as a single two-part movie aired on consecutive nights. Comic book cover: [https://i.redd.it/cpdeae74dhnz.jpg](https://i.redd.it/cpdeae74dhnz.jpg) ---

Thanks for this thread, I have to remember to record Arrow. It is the only one of the 4 I don’t DVR. ---

I’ll have to remember not to switch channels, as I do watch _Arrow_ on Thursdays, but I’m sure the CW will run plenty of reminders during _Supergirl_. ---

I was confused because I thought for sure it was this week (Arrow moving away from Thanksgiving made sense to me) so thanks for setting me straight. I wonder if the shows go on enough if they will just comic book an excuse to make it all one Universe to make the crossovers easier. ---

Since Alex is in it, apparently Supergirl will bring her to Iris and Barry’s wedding as her guest. She hasn’t met them yet. ---
