Legends of Tomorrow Has Its Own ‘Crossover’ Plan for Crossover Week
The Legends of Tomorrow may not be a part of this year’s Arrowverse crossover event, but they’re going to serve up something extra-special that week nonetheless.
As previously reported, The Flash, Arrow and Supergirl will meet Batwoman as part a crossover event that is titled “Elseworlds” and airs on consecutive nights Sunday, Dec. 9 through Tuesday, Dec. 11. Legends, which got folded into the previous crossovers (“Invasion!” and “Crisis on Earth-X”), is sitting out this time around (as detailed in the cast video Q&A below).
But as Legends showrunner Keto Shimizu told TVLine at The CW‘s Fall Launch event held Sunday night at the Warner Bros. lot, “During the week that all the other crossovers are happening, we will essentially be crossing over with ourselves,” in an episode that will traverse “alternate time periods.”

“That particular episode is insane,” attested Legends lead Caity Lotz, who added: “I think they wanted to do something special since we weren’t going to be doing the [‘Elseworlds’] crossovers.”
Lotz teased that, in keeping with what Shmizu said above about “alternate” time periods, “You’ll see a lot of different sides of the Legends.” And from the sound of it, those sides will be interacting with themselves (a la the Season 2 finale involving the Spear of Destiny).
“I’ll just say it’s a lot of work for the people who are in those scenes!” laughed Tala Ashe, who plays Zari. “It’s fun.”
Legends of Tomorrow opens Season 4 this Monday, Oct. 22, at 9/8c.
Anyone from Earth Also?
that sounds like a fun episode! LOT is the only arrowverse show that has kept my attention
Really hope Legends keeps its quirky identity and doesn’t feel the need to “go dark” as other Arrowverse shows have in the past. I love a good doppelgänger story, so looking forward to this.
Well remember a demonologist who is still trying to save a young girl’s soul from Hell is now a series regular.
Sounds like a good and fun episode. I can’t wait to watch the episode in December!
Hahaha. I see what you did there.
This should be really fun to watch. I love all the Arrowverse shows and even with how much I love this one I’m surprised it’s still on the air. I really didn’t see CW keeping it for as long as they have thus far. But I’m happy about that.
I wanna see a version of Ray that is pretty much Daniel Shaw with the Atom suit.
Can’t wait! This is my favorite superhero show besides The Flash.
I really would like if kidflash were back with the legends they need that special skills. It won’t be a true arrowverse crossover but looking forward to all of them . Bring back kid flash please
I really wish the legends were part of this crossover just so we could see what happens when Ray interacts with Superman for the first time.
Will RIP return. I like how Legends evolved but I do miss Rip. I think Sarah could have grown in the role of first officer/tactical officer leaving Rip as Captain.
I also wonder if they’ll ever better link Zari to the Egyptian Goddess Isis.
