This past weekend at Salt Lake Comic Con (Salt Lake City, Utah), Stephen Amell and David Ramsey brought up Diggle's memorable and humorous reaction to meeting Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) for the first time in the initial Arrow-The Flash crossover event.

"It's funny, too, because the first time when I meet Flash," Ramsey begins, "Andrew Kreisberg -- the executive producer of the show -- was sitting in video village, where he kind of watches what's going on in front of the screen, and he's like, 'Listen: When you see Flash, I want you to go big.' And I was like, 'Oh, okay.' So I did it, and I threw like one fry in the air. And I went over and Andrew's like, 'No, like go crazy big, dude.' So I threw like all the fries into the air and everyone just howling laughing.

After that, the two discuss how Diggle will react when he encounters Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) for the first time in the next CW crossover. "Diggle has to have a reaction to Supergirl, that rivals Flash," Ramsey explains. "So I decided he could maybe pee just a little bit." Ramsey then looks up in the air with astonishment, pretending he is witnessing Supergirl fly overhead.

While he does that, Amell gets into character and delivers, appearing to recite, what might be an actual line from the episode: "John, she's an alien, and she can fly, and she's from a different Earth. Did you pee? Just a little bit?"

Newly appointed Mayor Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) finds himself challenged as he fights on two fronts for the future of Star City. With Diggle (David Ramsey) back in the military and Thea adamant about hanging up her hood as Speedy (Willa Holland), Team Green Arrow is down to just Oliver and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) – but they're no longer the only vigilantes in town. Green Arrow's public defeat of Damien Darhk at the end of Season Four has inspired a new crop of masked heroes to step up and defend the city, though their painful inexperience makes them obstacles, rather than allies, in the field. The arrival of a deadly new adversary will force Oliver to confront questions about his own legacy, both as mayor and as the Green Arrow.

Based on the characters from DC, ARROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti ("The Flash," "Supergirl"), Marc Guggenheim ("Eli Stone," "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters"), Andrew Kreisberg ("The Flash," "Supergirl"), Wendy Mericle ("Desperate Housewives," "Eli Stone") and Sarah Schechter ("Supergirl," "Blindspot").

Arrow Season 5 premieres Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
