Arrow Season 5: 10 Big Questions That Need Answering

10. What Will Flashpoint Change?

Flashpoint is going to have a major impact on The Flash, at least through the first couple of episodes as Barry finds himself living in an altered reality of his own making. However, since The Flash exists in the same universe as Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, Flashpoint is going to spill over into the other shows.

The problem that presents is that the shows need to exist independently of each other, so the paradox cannot have a huge impact upon Arrow, but does need to have some because of the shared universe.

There've been conflicting reports on how much it'll affect things, whether it'll be minor or major, and it's expected to hit Diggle the hardest (though quite how is not clear). While there's plenty specific to Arrow going on, it'll be very interesting to see just how Flashpoint plays out here as well.
