Have any of you heard about this year's Arrowverse crossover, 'Crisis On Earth X?' There has been a few details about it revealed online so far and from what I can gather it is going to have the debut of 'The Ray' in it who is going to go on to have his own animated series along with the newest member of the Arrowverse, Zari who does NOT appear to be using the 'Isis' name now possibly due to the terrorist organization. Here is some news about 'Crisis On Earth X.'

Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends to unite for 'Crisis on Earth-X' crossover
WB has finally revealed details about this year’s big four-way superhero crossover.
The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will join forces in a crossover event called “Crisis on Earth X,” which begins production today. In this year’s crossover, all of the superheroes come to town for Barry (Grant Gustin) and Iris’ (Candice Patton) wedding (sounds like couples therapy ended up working); however, villains for Earth-X crash the festivities with a deadly agenda.
“We conceived this year’s crossover to be evocative of the annual Justice League/Justice Society crossovers we grew up with and looked forward to as kids,” said executive producers Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg in a statement.
To celebrate this two-night event, they commissioned legendary Wonder Woman artist Phil Jimenez to create a custom cover for the event, which is filled to the brim with spoilers.
Check it out below:
Based on the poster, we can also infer that the Flash, Green Arrow (Stephen Amell), and Supergirl will be facing off against evil versions of themselves. Moreover, it’s pretty likely that Gustin, Amell, and Benoist will also play their doppelgängers, too, given the fact that Benoist was tapped to voice Overgirl, Supergirl’s evil Earth-X counterpart, on CW Seed’s animated series Freedom Fighters: The Ray. However, that’s not the only connection to Freedom Fighters. The poster also reveals that “Crisis” will introduce the Ray (Russell Tovey, who also voices the character) into the live-action Arrowverse. Captain Cold can be seen in the bottom left corner, which means Wentworth Miller will likely return for the big event, and Zari (Tala Ashe), Legends of Tomorrow‘s new hacktivist from the future, is wearing a mysterious amulet on the cover, too.
“Phil was the perfect choice to bring the comic book cover iteration of this idea to life. You can count on one hand the number of artists who could compellingly represent so many characters in a single image. Phil is one of them. And his design invokes the cover of Justice League #207, which was the 20th Annual JLA/JSA crossover. Our 10-year-old selves are in heaven,” the producers said.
“Some of the first DC Comics I ever read were those insane crossovers with a dozen characters from alternate earths and dimensions — the kind of stuff I later became known for!” added Jimenez. “So when CW asked me to do an homage cover inspired by those amazing team-up covers, I couldn’t resist the chance to draw all of The CW’s DC superheroes in one crazy action sequence.”
The four-way crossover will air across two nights Monday, Nov. 27 and Tuesday, Nov. 28 on The CW. For this crossover event, Arrow will air on a special night Monday at 9 p.m. ET following Supergirl, while the other DC shows will remain in their regularly scheduled time periods.

Quantico star Russell Tovey to play gay superhero in Arrow-verse crossover
This news is a Ray of light for LGBTQ representation
While fans are still wondering when they might see a prominent LGBTQ comic book superhero on the big screen, The CW continues to represent with its DC TV universe. Openly gay actor Russell Tovey, from ABC’s Quantico and HBO’s Looking, has been cast as The Ray, the openly gay superhero coming to the four-show Arrow-verse crossover, as well as a solo animated series on The CW Seed.
Raymond “Ray” Terrill is described as “a reporter who discovered a group of government scientists working on a secret project to turn light into a weapon of mass destruction. But before he could report on his findings, the project head exposed Ray to a ‘genetic light bomb.’ The bomb failed to kill him and instead gifted Ray with light-based powers. With these abilities, Ray realized he could go beyond reporting on injustice — he could take action to help stop it. Calling himself The Ray, he was recruited by Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters to fight violence and oppression wherever it exists.”

The network first announced the character at the beginning of August to lead the animated series Freedom Fighters: The Ray, executive produced by Arrow co-creator Greg Berlanti. Another prominent member of the LGBTQ community, Berlanti welcomed his son into the world last year with his partner, professional soccer player Robbie Rogers.
The Ray joins other LGBTQ characters on the series, like Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) on Legends, Central City PD Captain David Singh (Patrick Sabongui) on The Flash, and Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) on Supergirl.
The upcoming crossover event will begin on Monday, Nov. 27 and conclude on Tuesday, Nov. 28. Arrow will air on Monday at 9 p.m. ET following Supergirl, and the other two will stick to their regular time slots. The new poster, created by Wonder Woman artist Phil Jimenez, hints at a play on the Crisis on Infinite Earths story with Supergirl, Green Arrow, and Flash squaring off against evil versions of themselves.

I can't blame you for feeling that way though 'cause they did do a bad job with the Justice Society of America and the Legion of Doom and their version of Stargirl was nothing like the Stargirl I have read in comic books and I don't know if you have read any of the Stargirl comic books or the JSA comics she appears in but there is no way Courtney Whitmore would want to stay in the past and that was completely out of character. I think the writers of 'Smallville' were better at handling the JSA with Hawkman, Stargirl and Doctor Fate and I am not sure how they managed to do such a poor job of Hawkman in 'Legends of Tomorrow' and 'The Flash' when Smallville had a great version. Hopefully they do a much better job of handling Sandman and the other characters from the JSA that are being rumoured to appear in the 'Legends of Tomorrow' along with Legion who are confirmed for 'Supergirl.' 
I think Laurel becoming the Black Canary would have worked better if Sara had stayed dead but the problem was she was such a popular character that I remember one of the showrunners saying they felt compelled to bring her back for the fans and Caity was also well liked. When they were first talking about 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' it sounded like it was going to be a separate show from the rest of the Arrowverse and some sites were saying it was going to be 'The Atom' and Sara was going to be his partner and his love interest but as we know that wasn't what happened. The other problem with Laurel was they made her the Black Canary and then gave her nothing after it and instead of becoming Oliver's partner she just became one of his many sidekicks and her role was downgraded into being a background character in a lot of episodes even though she had the credit of being the second main star. They should have focused more on the Black Canary after that and brought in some villains from the Black Canary comic books to fight so she could have her own storylines as a superhero but instead we went on to have characters like Donna and the Calculator instead and Felicity got her own villains like Bee Lady.
Speaking of Felicity she just name dropped a villain that could be in the upcoming Arrowverse crossover.
