Constantine On Arrow: Round Table For “Haunted”

This Wednesday, Arrow‘s “Haunted” episode satiated fans with a crossover that most thought would never happen — John Constantine from NBC’s now defunct Constantine not only appeared, but had a hand in helping out Ollie and his friends. Okay, he didn’t just help, the man was crucial to their main goal for the episode, which was salvation for Sara Lance.
So how is this a big deal for Bam Smack Pow? Aside from us being the premiere comics-related site, both Arrow and Constantine have dedicated writers for each show.
