The CW is loaded up with DC shows at the moment. Following the success of “Arrow” the network decided to create “The Flash” and then from there “Legends of Tomorrow” was born. Then last fall “Supergirl” entered the mix when the show made the move from CBS to the CW for season 2.
With so many character in play on the same network, the CW decided to put them all together for one massive four way crossover. Last December heroes from all four shows came together in “Invasion!” and they battled the Dominators. The crossover wasn’t easy to pull off, but most fans would agree that the CW delivered.
It’s already been confirmed that all four shows will be crossing over once again next season and it sounds like we could be seeing the mega crossover a little earlier this year.
Typically “Arrowverse” crossovers air in December right before the winter finales, but the CW will be switching things up next time around. Deadline reports that the next four way crossover will air in November as opposed to December, so luckily we won’t have to wait as long to see the heroes team up once again.
CW president Mark Pedowitz talked about the crossover during a recent media conference call, but unfortunately he confirmed that the CW’s next DC show “Black Lightning” will not be a part of the “Arrowverse” which means we won’t see Black Lightning in the crossover. Hopefully the network will change their minds about letting Black Lightning join up with the other DC characters down the road.
Either way, there’s still plenty of reasons to be excited for the next four way crossover. Which villain would you like to see the heroes face next time? Sound off in the comments below.
