The Dream of a DC Musical Episode

I don't know if you know this, but the casts of both Flash and Arrow are wickedly good singers, in fact, here are a list of characters that I know are good singers in real life: Barry, Joe, Felicity, Roy, Cisco, Malcolm, Thea & Eddie. I don't know if the rest can sing or not, but these guys definitely can. Which leads me to my point, that next season of Flash & Arrow, there needs to be a crossover episode where they suddenly find themselves in a musical episode and they all start singing. Similar to Buffy or Scrubs, just a fun out of genre episode where people start singing out of the blue, and even have a little bit of a self-reflexive joke about it. Now you make be thinking But Danny, how exactly could they pull of such a strange set up for an episode? Well say no more, allow me to introduce you to: The Music Meister!

The Music Meister was a villain created in the cartoon Batman: The Brave & The Bold, where basically put, he has the power to make people sing. Bring him into The Flash, because they can get away with this over the top and comedic element, bring in the cast of Arrow and have them sing their hearts out for an hour in funny, musical goodness. And we have the perfect actor to play the role, the same guy who played him in the cartoon, the coolest man on the planet, Neil Patrick Harris.

Fact is, ever since Barry sung karaoke in that one episode, i've wanted him to sing more; after that video of Joe, Cisco & Eddie performing the theme to Firely, I wanted a Flash musical episode, and then seeing a vine of the Arrow cast singing Grease, i want one big crossover musical episode. They have an established villain with a great actor lined up to play him and the talent to back it up, come on DC, i want this more than anything! I'm beggin ya!
