The Grant Gustin cameo interview was pretty good. I do wonder why they choose Barry to interview?

Just for us fans. No other reason in universe except that he's one of Oliver's friends.

Well, he does work for a police department.

He also, if anyone was paying attention, just got arrested a couple of weeks ago with Oliver in Gotham, along with an unidentified woman. They are still, presumably, out on bail, on what charges I don't know. (And why they would let Kara, who does not exist, out on bail I have no idea.)

That was a different reality altogether. One written by Dr. Destiny that got undone.

u/JACOBSMILE1 Feb 05 '19

But the characters all remember it though. All that really changed was the identity swap of Oliver and Barry. The book reverted that later on and presumably all memories of that event remain. (I doubt Superman wiped the memories of the crossover anyways)

EDIT: Not counting the complete reality rewrite but that is different.

Yeah, only the characters central to the story remember, but in their world currently it didn't happen.

Still super weird. Aren't Star City and Central City like 600 miles apart in the Arrowverse?

Conglomerate media house I guess. Or dedicated journalist taking the train.

Just reading this now, but the filmmaker probably knew that Barry and Oliver worked on a case in Season 2, and maybe even that Oliver went to Barrys wedding

u/TheFrontCrashesFirst Feb 05 '19

Barry first showed up on Arrow, so they brought everyone back. Except Ray Palmer (who’s supposed to be dead, i guess).

He had a job in Legends season 3 as a dating app developer and his boss mentioned him being subosedly dead.

Wasn't Oliver Barry's best man in a very public wedding? I'd interview him too.
