About Elseworlds: The crossover event beings with The Flash airing tonight instead of Supergirl on The CW (Sunday, December 9) at 8 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Central. The next episode in the crossover will be Arrow, which will air on Monday night, December 10, at 8 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Central. A new episode of Legends of Tomorrow will then air at 9 p.m. Eastern, but it won’t be connected to the crossover event.

Each episode of Elseworlds will have a different tone that matches the show "sponsoring" the episode. In these episodes, Oliver Queen/Green Arrow will switch identities with Barry Allen/The Flash, as a result of Dr. John Deegan (played by Jeremy Davies) manipulating reality. While they’re playing each other’s roles, they’ll also cross paths with Supergirl, Batwoman (being introduced in the Arrowverse for the first time), Superman, and The Monitor, whom we saw in the teaser, Comicbook.com reported.
The basic plot of the crossover event, according to Syfy, is that a godlike character called Monitor gives Dr. John Deegan the ability to reshape reality. Barry and Oliver, as a result, swap identities. They must recruit Supergirl to help them get things back in order before irreversible damage is done. Oliver and Barry are aware they're in the wrong bodies, so it makes everything that much more fun to watch. Click through the gallery to see more photos, news about the cast, and spoilers.
