I meant worse as far as how they treat the talent on set and set working conditions etc. I actually like batwoman as a show more than any of the other CW dc shows right now

Notice Superman and Supergirl werent called up..
would run up in that ass like man o war
but she literally would have to wear that outfit to get me to ever watch the flash again
Never watched it. Didn't know they were ending it. Think it time they end Flash also. I didn't watch the last 2 or 3 seasons of Arrow. I still haven't watched the last 2 episodes of Flash from last season. Feels like the hits CW used to roll out aren't there anymore.
The gayness was strong in that finale too

The Flash star Grant Gustin can't wait for fans to see Barry's reunion with Black Lightning (Cress Williams) in "Armageddon."
After more than a year without an Arrowverse crossover, The Flash is kicking off its eighth season with a five-part team-up event that sees Barry Allen recruit several familiar faces to help him fight the alien Despero (Tony Curran). In addition to featuring Williams' Jefferson Pierce, the story will feature Batwoman's Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie), Legends of Tomorrow's Atom (Brandon Routh), Arrow's Mia Queen, Supergirl's Sentinel (Chyler Leigh), and Osric Chau as Ryan Choi. But bear in mind, this is not a crossover. It's something different.
Below, EW chats with Gustin about teaming up with Williams again, returning to the Hall of Justice, and more.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How does "Armageddon" compare to the typical Arrowverse crossover?
GRANT GUSTIN: It was cool because it all took place at home, which was a little more convenient for the cast and crew of The Flash. We weren't juggling so many different production schedules. Because it was just one continuous Flash story, it almost more like a feature compared to a lot of the other crossovers we've done, where the vibes are constantly different going to other sets and other crews and different scripts. All of these scripts were written by [showrunner Eric Wallace] and our writers. It kind of felt like our version of a little CW Flash feature. It was a little easier to balance because it was all Flash schedules and we were inviting all these other cool guests over to our home base.
What's the coolest interaction Barry had with one of the many guests?
My favorite thing, and not to discredit anything else, is I have a lot of really cool scenes, a lot of the meat of the beginning of "Armageddon," with Cress as Jefferson from Black Lightning. We had like, I think, three jam-packed days of work, but it was a lot that we got into those three days. It was all at the Hall of Justice set, which is a cool location on this airfield. It was a day shoot leading into two night shoots. It was just a cool filming experience, but also I think some of the best heavy scenes that I have in the first three, four episodes. So I'm looking forward to seeing how those turned out. I know we had a good time shooting them, and there were a lot of different elements in those scenes.

Cress had told me multiple times how much he loved working with you on "Crisis" and that he was looking forward to doing it again, and it sounds like the feeling is mutual. What do you enjoy about working with him so much?
First of all he's just a really nice guy, and he's been in the business a lot longer than I have. I love working with guys like that who just have stuff that they can share with me, and there's a lot I can learn from somebody like that. Not just in the craft [of acting], but how he carries himself in the business, carries himself on set. I just have fun talking and working with him. But he's a really serious, well-prepared, good actor. They give us really good material, and he shows up ready to go. It's just fun. It's different than any of the other dynamics I have on the show. It's special because it's different. I think it's mutual, but we really, really enjoy working with each other.
What makes Barry and Jefferson's dynamic different?
He's a lightning-based hero, which is not incredibly different from Barry's powers. Barry has this connection with the Speed Force, which is obviously different from Jefferson's powers. But the whole reason Barry goes to Jefferson during the "Armageddon" five-parter is for a very specific reason, for the powers that Jefferson has. He needs him specifically to help him achieve something that is kind of a dark twist in, I believe, the second episode.
The introduction of the Hall of Justice set was pretty exciting. As a Superman and comics fan, how did it feel to return there?
It was cool. It was also bittersweet because as we were there we were like, "Man, we're not here with everybody." Supergirl is ending. It was sad almost because this was supposed where our squad hooked up, and we haven't done that yet. I'm hoping we get to do that in some capacity, but it was cool just to be back with Cress. We have a lot of action take place on the set. We just have good scenes in general that take place on the set. But it's a cool room to shoot in. It's a real-life functioning hangar for people working on airplanes.

How are things going for Barry and Iris' [Candice Patton] marriage?
They're doing well. When we pick up, everybody is in a good place. We get to see them having this nice little romantic dinner at home that is comedically interrupted by one of our guest stars that shows up, but they're in a good place. We're still getting the signs that they'd like to start a family and move forward with their lives. But Despero's arrival and everything else kind of gets in the way of all that. Iris is still dealing with her time sickness, and Barry is not aware of that at this point. That's one thing Iris has going on that we'll start to get hints of.
Finally, Barry had such a close relationship with Oliver [Stephen Amell]. How would you describe his dynamic with Oliver's daughter, Mia [Katherine McNamara]?
I wouldn't say that she kind of replaces the Oliver dynamic by any means. She's a very different character than Oliver. I love Kat's take on the character; she's a little spunky badass. They're good teammates, and she works a lot with the whole team actually when she shows up on the show and falls right in with us. Grant and Kat are probably closer at this point than Barry and Mia are, just because we haven't seen them develop that relationship on camera in the way that Stephen and I had years and years to do.
The Flash season 8 premieres Nov. 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
These guys supposed to be the Royal Flush Gang..?
i had to force my way thru this crap just so i can get ready for the crossover.
not enough for some pplThe gayness was strong in that finale too
apparently they wanted supergirl to come out in that finale
Will this tie into the Arrowverse i wonder...
It's DC. They don't even know yet. Still waiting for some small sign that Stargirl is in the arrow verse. Remember, this is the same network that initially didn't have Supergirl in the same universe for a while.
All the main Robins aside from Damian are already on Titans
I think Stargirl is on a separate Earth.. chances are that Naomi(upcoming CW show) might be as well,unless Tyler Hoechlin guest stars as Superman in the pilot episode
Launch date on September 20, 2006 So never.
