‘The Flash’ season 2 spoilers: ‘Legends of Today’ begins ‘Arrow’ crossover

While “The Flash” and “Arrow” collectively have done a fairly solid job as of late starting to set up the story for the upcoming “Legends of Tomorrow” spin-off series along with some of the heroes, there is one thing that has yet to be done: Set up the show’s main villain in Vandal Savage. he is an immortal, powerful man, and it may take more than one person to take him down.

On December 1 “Legends of Today” is going to formally kick off the event, and in the synopsis below, you can get a little bit of a sense as to just what the story is going to contain:

“In its second major crossover event with “Arrow,” Vandal Savage (guest star Casper Crump) arrives in Central City and sets his sights on Kendra Saunders (guest star Ciara Renée). After Vandal attacks Kendra and Cisco (Carlos Valdes), they turn to Barry (Grant Gustin) for help. Realizing how dangerous Vandal is, Barry takes Kendra to Star City and asks Oliver and team to hide her until he can figure out how to stop Vandal. However, things quickly go from bad to worse when a man with wings AKA Hawkman (guest star Falk Hentschel) shows up and flies off with Kendra. Meanwhile, Harrison (Tom Cavanagh) develops a serum to make Barry run faster and asks Jay (guest star Teddy Sears) to test it out.”

One thing that is rather nice to see within this is that even though you are going to see a whole lot of “Arrow” and potential “Legends of Tomorrow” characters on this show, they are not entirely abandoning the main story of trying to stop Zoom, either. Combining all of these different elements into one story is important.
