Soon “Supergirl” will be joining the CW, and shows such as “The Flash,” “Arrow” and DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” will be returning. One of the things fans have been looking forward to for months is upcoming four part crossover between the shows, and everyone’s been trying to figure out who the villain, or villains will be.
It’s now been revealed that the crossover will see the united heroes facing off against the Dominators.
“This year, for our mega ‘Arrowverse’ crossover, we’re taking inspiration from a DC crossover from the late 1980s known as ‘Invasion!,’ which featured an alien race called the Dominators, who’d previously vexed the Legion of Super-Heroes,” “Arrow” and “Legends of Tomorrow” Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim revealed. “We’re using cutting-edge prosthetics and computer effects to achieve a feature film-quality look which is faithful to Invasion! artist Todd McFarlane’s interpretation of the characters.”
The Dominators are a technologically advanced alien race known for their yellow skin and sharp teeth. They live in a hierarchical society where one’s caste is determined by the size of a red circle on their forehead. The Dominators first appeared in Adventure Comics #361.
“The Flash” is set to return on October 4, with “Arrow” returning on October 5. “Supergirl” season 2 will premiere on the CW on October 10, and “Legends of Tomorrow” season 2 will arrive on October 13.
The four part crossover will air on the CW in December.
