Anyone who followed eitherArroworThe Flashlast season knows that both shows cross over quite frequently, whether it beArrowand his team coming to Central City, orThe Flashgoing to Star City. It makes sense that The CW Network would start promoting both shows at the same time, then, with a new trailer that throws some electronic dance music (EDM) into the mix, along with footage and sound bites from your favorite episodes of both shows. The end of this video teases thatThe Flasheven has a new hobby.
At the end of this thumping party mix, the DJ is revealed to be none other than Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) in full costume. Perhaps the network is trying some unconventional promotional methods, luring the EDM crowd in to watch bothArrowandThe Flash. This isn’t the first time The CW has tried to cross-promote both shows in unique ways. Earlier this year, as both shows' respective seasons were winding down, the network debuted a trailer dubbedSuperhero Fight Club, where all the DC heroes and villains squared off in a secluded steel cage at Palmer Industries.
