Have you heard about a little crossover called “Elseworlds”? Apparently every damn character under the sun in the Arrowverse and beyond (save for the Legends of Tomorrow). In addition to all the fun characters, we also have the likes of Superman, Lois Lane, and Batwoman joining in on the fun. But, of course, the surprises don’t really stop there.
If you have been following this ambitious crossover, you’ll know that it will also see Oliver Queen and Barry Allen trade places in some capacity. The context of the situation isn’t clear right now, but from what we’ve seen in photos, Oliver is wearing the Flash costume and Barry is wearing the Green Arrow costume. But wait, there’s more! As revealed via producer Marc Guggenheim, we’ll also be seeing another Flash take the small screen — and this time an actual Flash outfit (not the stupid Jay Garrick one).

Yup, that’s actor John Wesley Shipp returning as Jay Garrick, the Flash from Earth-3. But is he actually Jay Garrick, given his costume? Personally, I’d like to think that there’s a chance that this isn’t just Jay Garrick, but maybe even a Barry Allen in some other twisted dimension, as it could canonize the old Flash series. Anyway, Stephen Amell also shared a photo.
