We’re sorry, we know we’re late with this… but sometimes even we miss stuff.

Arrow and The Flash fans can get excited because the new six-part, in universe Vixen animated series trailer is here.

It’s a six-part origin story, but characters from “Flash” and “Arrow” are prominently involved. It’s in the continuity and the world. There’s actually a question I’ve been getting on Twitter a lot, says Marc Guggenheim, producer of Arrow and Flash, “Is Oliver going to find out that Felicity kissed Barry?” That’s actually going to happen in the “Vixen” cartoon. Part of the fun is that close cohesion.”

“One of the things we can do in animation is really push the envelope in a way that we can’t on either of the two shows. So there’s a much larger production value. We’re taking advantage of the animated form. That’s the other reason to do it.”

Meet DC Comics’ newest hero when Vixen, the all-new animated series set within the Flash and Arrow universe, makes its direct-to-digital debut August 25, 2015 on CW Seed.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
