With the recent news of the CW's "superhero team-up" spin-off series, it is evident that the network is planning on redefining the DC super series in a really special way.

EW caught up with the 'Arrow' and 'The Flash' showrunner Greg Berlanti, and here is what he had to say about the upcoming project:

"For me, it honors all of the great team up movies, whether it's Ocean's Eleven or whether it's the superhero books. That's what it's about. If you go back to the old westerns, there would be The Lone Gunman, but there would also be The Magnificent Seven. It's very much in the spirit of those kinds of movies and shows."

Berlanti seems to have a whole lot on his plate recently as he is also executive producing the pilot for CBS's 'Supergirl' series. He however reassures fans stating that he only takes on new projects when he is confident that it feels distincts from other shows that he is doing.

"This is really its own thing," he states.

"The untitled drama-which is being developed by Arrow and Flash executive producers Andrew Kreisberg and Greg Berlanti, as well as Arrow boss Marc Guggenheim and Sarah Schechter-is tentatively slated to star Brandon Routh (Ray Palmer/The Atom), Wentworth Miller (Leonard Snart/Captain Cold), Victor Garber (Martin Stein/Firestorm) and Caity Lotz, though it's unclear whether she'll be portraying a new role since her Arrow character, Sara Lance, died earlier this season," writes EW.

On that note, the pilot for the new series does not have a release date.
