The Flash and Arrow Switch Roles in 'Elseworlds' Crossover, and Fans Have Feelings
OK, but now "Arrow" fans are pushing to see Stephen Amell in a "Supergirl" suit.

You know the Arrowverse shows (or at least a few of them) have themed crossovers every year. This year, "The Flash," "Arrow," and "Supergirl" are holding a three-day event from December 9-11.
The "Elseworlds" special will feature a trip to Gotham City to team up with newcomer Batwoman (Ruby Rose). Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois Lane (Bitsie Tulloch) will also be there, along with Cassandra Jean Amell as Nora Fries, wife of Batman villain Mr. Freeze.
Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin normally play Oliver Queen/Arrow and Barry Allen/The Flash, but they showed their swapped roles when sharing the crossover poster on social media:

• "The Flash" -- Sunday, Dec. 9, 2018 at 8 p.m. ET
