The Flash / Arrow crossover of 2015 kicks off with an episode that gets the Legends of Tomorrow together.

Here’s our review.

This Flash review contains spoilers.

And what an entrance he makes!

Casting on bothThe FlashandArrowtends to lean towards the impeccable, and Casper Crump is no exception.

His barely identifiable accent adds to the worldly appeal of a villain who has lived for millennia.

Im impressed with Falk Hentschel as Hawkman so far, too.

But so far, so good.

Its going to hurt when she leaves Cisco for him, though.

But I get it.

I get why it has to be this way.

Its good, but it felt a little perfunctory in the face of everything else going on.

Legends of Tomorrowlooks like the nerdiest show imaginable.

I can forgive an awful lot.

I bet part two will be even better.

Flash Facts!

He first appeared inGreen Lantern#10 in 1944.

Its too much for this space.

looks like Vandal stows away on a ship called the SS Tithonous.

In Greek mythology, Tithonus was the mortal lover of Eos, the goddess of the dawn.

She loved him and wished he would live forever.

Her wish was granted…but he wasnt granted eternal youth.

As you’re free to imagine, things didnt work out for Tithonus.

reckon it’s Vandal Savage is stepping in for Hath-Set in this version of the story, though.

Now, this is where things get messy…

In early versions of the story, Carter Halls eternal lover was Shiera Sanders.

But Kendra Saunders was introduced in the pages ofJSA Secret Files#1 in 1999.

Its better than it sounds and mildly less confusing than Im making it out to be.

Thats a whole nother can of worms to feed your birds.

Velocity 6 is a big deal, folks.

The fact that they chose this episode to introduce it is an even bigger one.

Theres a little more about that inthe Vandal Savage article I keep telling you to read.

In short, though…Velocity 6 wont be the only version of this drug.

Im gonna have to update myWho is Zoom?

articlewith this information, pronto.

Oh, hello there surprise appearance of Oliver Queens son.

I dont think so.
