But bear in mind, this is not a crossover.
It’s something different.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How does “Armageddon” compare to the typical Arrowverse crossover?

We weren’t juggling so many different production schedules.
All of these scripts were written by [showrunner Eric Wallace] and our writers.
It kind of felt like our version of a little CWFlashfeature.

What’s the coolest interaction Barry had with one of the many guests?
It was all at the Hall of Justice set, which is a cool location on this airfield.
It was a day shoot leading into two night shoots.

So I’m looking forward to seeing how those turned out.
What do you enjoy about working with him so much?
I just have fun talking and working with him.
But he’s a really serious, well-prepared, good actor.
They give us really good material, and he shows up ready to go.
It’s just fun.
It’s different than any of the other dynamics I have on the show.
It’s special because it’s different.
I think it’s mutual, but we really, really enjoy working with each other.
What makes Barry and Jefferson’s dynamic different?
He’s a lightning-based hero, which is not incredibly different from Barry’s powers.
Barry has this connection with the Speed Force, which is obviously different from Jefferson’s powers.
The introduction of the Hall of Justice set was pretty exciting.
As a Superman and comics fan, how did it feel to return there?
We have a lot of action take place on the set.
We just have good scenes in general that take place on the set.
But it’s a cool room to shoot in.
It’s a real-life functioning hangar for people working on airplanes.
How are things going for Barry and Iris' [Candice Patton]marriage?
They’re doing well.
When we pick up, everybody is in a good place.
But Despero’s arrival and everything else kind of gets in the way of all that.
Iris is still dealing with her time sickness, and Barry is not aware of that at this point.
That’s one thing Iris has going on that we’ll start to get hints of.
Finally, Barry had such a close relationship with Oliver [Stephen Amell].
How would you describe his dynamic with Oliver’s daughter, Mia [Katherine McNamara]?
I wouldn’t say that she kind of replaces the Oliver dynamic by any means.
She’s a very different character than Oliver.
I love Kat’s take on the character; she’s a little spunky badass.
The Flashseason 8 premieres Nov. 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
