The Flash Season 8 Trailer (HD) 5 Episode Crossover Event
## Trivia

* This was the first crossover:
	+ Where all parts of the crossover air as episodes of one television series (*The Flash*) rather than the parts airing as episodes of multiple series.
		- This approach was taken due to COVID-19 protocols and restrictions.
	+ To primarily focus on one hero (Barry Allen/The Flash) instead of multiple heroes.
		- For this reason, Eric Wallace does not consider this event a crossover.
	+ To not include *Arrow*.
		- However, Mia Queen/Green Arrow appeared in "Armageddon, Part 5".
	+ Since *Heroes Join Forces* to not include *Supergirl* and to not feature Melissa Benoist (Kara Danvers) in any capacity.
		- Eric Wallace wanted Benoist to appear in the crossover, but she was busy filming the final episodes of *Supergirl*.
		- However, Alex Danvers/Sentinel appeared in the crossover.
	+ To not feature Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen) and Carlos Valdes (Cisco Ramon) in any capacity.

## Behind the scenes

* This crossover was inspired by:
	+ A specific scene in *Crisis on Earth-X*.
	+ The film *Cloverfield*.
	+ The intimacy of *Flash vs. Arrow*.
* Tyler Hoechlin (Clark Kent) was approached about appearing in the crossover, but he was unable to do so due to scheduling conflicts and COVID-19 restrictions.
