WAIT, WHERE ARE THE LEGENDS?
Having previously helped fend off an "Invasion!" and deal with the "Crisis on Earth-X," the cast of DC's Legends of Tomorrow will not be taking part in this year's crossover, for reasons touched on in this San Diego Comic-Con Q&A.
(And before someone asks, no, Black Lightning still isn't a formal part of the Arrowverse.)
4. Supergirl
WHO'S BACK? (PART 1)
Tyler Hoechlin will reprise his role as Supergirl/Kara Danvers' cousin, Superman/Clark Kent, in all three of the crossover episodes. And this time, he's not alone....

WHO'S THE BIG BAD?
Though it's unclear if he is the Big Bad, Jeremy Davies (Lost, Justified) is set to play John Deegan, a doctor at the Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane.
Per The CW, Dr. Deegan's "machinations will draw Green Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl to Gotham City" — which, coupled with Batwoman's involvement, points to much of the crossover action taking place in the gritty DC Comics burg.

WHAT ABOUT THE FLASH's MILESTONE EPISODE 100?
Although Arrow's own 100th episode got folded into 2016's "Invasion!" crossover event, The Flash will mark its milestone separately the week prior, on Tuesday, Dec. 4.

HOW HUGE IS THIS YEAR'S THREAT?
After battling aliens and then Nazis from another Earth, "We can't go bigger," Arrow's Stephen Amell told TVLine in this Upfronts red carpet Q&A. Instead, this year's threat is "more specific." (A bit more on that later in the slideshow....)

WHAT IS THE THEME?
Following 2016's "Invasion!" and 2017's "Crisis on Earth-X" themes, this year's event is subtitled "Elseworlds," with the promise that "Chaos is coming." "Elseworlds" in DC Comics partlance was a special imprint that dealt with stories that existed independent of the larger continuity.

BIG SMALLVILLE TREAT
Official crossover photos confirm that a trip to Smallville — using some of the Tom Welling-starring TV series' original locations — is on tap. Well, in a Nov. 29 Facebook video, Arrow's Stephen Amell added that for Smallville fans, "there is a treat for you that... you might want to put down rubber sheets, because quite frankly you might piss your pants."
