Earth 2 Arrow A Nod To Flashpoint Storyline

Last night, during the episode of The Flash we get a flashback to Earth 2 as Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) is working on a way to stop Zoom and watching Channel 52 news when they reveal in that reality it was Robert Queen not Oliver that returned from the shipwrecked Queen's Gambit and took up the role of The Hood / The Arrow. This is of course a nod to the Flashpoint storyline from the comics where Barry Allen went back in time and saved his mom… something that seemed to be playing out in the first season of the TV series. In Flashpoint it was Bruce Wayne who died in the alley with his mother while Thomas Wayne went on to become the Batman. Since Green Arrow is the Batman of the Arrowverse, this was a nice Easter egg.

And we have the extended trailer for next week: Gorilla Warfare.
