ARROW NEWS:

'Arrow's Roy Harper Arc Will Take a One Week Break (Date: 22 Feb 2018)
1. On Thursday, March 15th, The CW will not be airing a new episode of Arrow, and will instead be re-airing the episode "All For Nothing". This brief programming change is largely due to what's airing before Arrow, with Supernatural being replaced by a one-hour special titled "Tough Mudder: Tougher Together". This means that "The Thanatos Guild", the sixteenth episode of this season, will presumably be airing a week later, on March 22nd. While details on this episode are scarce, we know that it will be part of Roy's short multi-episode arc, which is expected to have a major effect on one Arrow mainstay. And if that wasn't enough, the episode will also feature the return appearance of Nyssa al Ghul (Katrina Law), who was last seen in the season five finale.

GENERAL DC NEWS:

Jonah Hex Confirmed for 'Legends of Tomorrow' Season 3 Finale (Date: 20 Feb 2018)
1. Jonah Hex (Johnathon Schaech) will return to DC's Legends of Tomorrow for its season 3 finale, ComicBook.com has confirmed. Warner Bros. Television confirmed the speculation, but had no comment as to what role Hex might play in the episode.

Chris The Flash's Violett Beane to appear on Legends of Tomorrow
(Date: 21 Feb 2018)
1. The Flash‘s Violett Beane, a.k.a. Jesse Quick, will make an appearance in the 15th episode of Legends of Tomorrow, EW has learned.
  Details on what brings her to the Waverider are being kept under wraps, but the episode in question is titled “Necromancing the Stone.” Her arrival comes on the heels of Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) joining the Legends — he briefly appeared at the close of Monday’s episode as Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) set out to recruit him.
  Beane will also return to The Flash in the Tuesday, March 6 episode, teaming up with the Scarlet Speedster and Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp) to stop a nuclear bomb from destroying Central City.

Legends of Tomorrow: John Noble will actually appear — but there's a twist! (Date: 19 Feb 2018)
1. EW has learned exclusively that the actor, who has been voicing this season’s big bad Mallus, will appear as himself in an upcoming episode of Legends. Yes, as himself. Seriously. As EW previously revealed, the time demon Mallus will be an entirely CG creation, hence Noble appearing in a different capacity.
