There has been a lot of speculation surrounding DC TV’s four-way crossove r featuring Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow. Robert Queen and Black Canary are both returning. We also know the crossover originates in Central City , but the reason why all these heroes band together has remained unknown. Now, The CW has confirmed Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and Rip Hunter’s Legends will face The Dominators -- a yellow-skinned alien race best known for attacking Earth seeking the metagene in ‘Invasion,’ a three-issue series crossover event published in the late 80s.
“This year, for our mega ' Arrow verse' 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 Superheroes," said Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim. "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 threat of The Dominators will bring Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow , and all the heroes on Legends together -- We can only hope JSA will come out and play too. So far, we’ve only briefly met Hourman. Citizen Steel will make his debut in the premiere episode of Legends of Tomorrow where he recruits Arrow to help locate the legends, who are somehow scattered throughout time. It remains to be seen when exactly Stargirl, Obsidian and Dr.Mid-Nite will first appear.
The Flash will be the first of the four DC TV shows to premiere on Oct. 4.
