Arrowverse Crossover: 11 Best Moments From Arrow's 100th Episode 'Invasion!'

1. Heroes And Villains

Arrow 100th Episode
The CW

The crowning glory of The Flash's crossover instalment was heroes fighting heroes. Flash took on the metas/aliens, and Green Arrow fought the martial artists/street-level fighters.

Here, it's much more straightforward: heroes vs villains. But oh, what heroes and villains. The action, as directed by James Bamford, is superb, and there's a a sheer delight in seeing these guys face off again, with almost too many subplots to count.

Oliver fights Deathstroke (no explanation necessary), and defeats him with an arrow to the eye. Thea fights her father, Malcolm. Sara fights Damien Darhk, and gets to kill him in the same way he killed her sister. Diggle fights a H.I.V.E. agent, which his brother became. And Ray fights a Mirakuru soldier, like the one responsible for killing his fiancee.

The grounded action and all those character beats pay homage to the very best of Arrow's past and indeed present, and are a wonderful way to celebrate 100 episodes.

What was your highlight from Invasion? Let us know down in the comments.
