Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
The Flash/Arrow universe grew a little bigger tonight as John Constantine paid a visit to Star City and created a bridge to NBC's short-lived Constantine series. This guest appearance by the popular magical anti-hero was the perfect way to highlight Arrow's transition to the supernatural realm. Between this crossover and the fact that King Shark of all villains appeared in The Flash last week, it seems like there's quite literally no stone in the DC Universe these shows will leave unturned. At least that's what I tell myself as I keep waiting for the announcement that The Question will be making his live-action debut.
Logistically, it probably would have been easier for this show to introduce its own version of Constantine. But given the almost universally positive reception to Matt Ryan's take on the character, it would be a shame to see someone else don the trenchcoat. Ryan's performance was easily the most memorable element of this episode. He certainly played well with Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen as we learned about the shared history the two characters have. And in a show where most of the heroes are pretty squeaky clean, all told, it was nice to meet a character whose place on the moral spectrum is far murkier. Constantine is a guy who generally has good intentions. He even has an honorable streak in the sense that he dropped everything to repay his debt to Ollie. But he's also a profoundly selfish person and not overly concerned with stepping on others' toes to get what he wants.
