The CW's long-awaited event which will see Supergirl, The Flash, Green Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow join forces to bring down the Dominators that almost upon us, the TV network has released a new full-length trailer.
During the anticipatedly comedy-action-packed clips, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) canvasses her new allies on their names including both Firestorms (Franz Drameh and Victor Garber) and Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell), a character who is best known for being an adversary of Barry Allen's Flash (Grant Gustin), but is now a Legends recruit.
Four Action-Packed Crossover Days Fighting Aliens
First seen in DC Comics back in 1967, the Dominators are members of an alien empire known as the Dominion; a tech-advanced race who possess mind-power abilities, invading Earth in the hopes of destroying all human kind. Their reason of invasion? They believe that human and their unpredictable evolution poses imminent threat to their state and to the entire universe.
Martian Manhunter (who is currently a Supergirl character) is closely associated with the transcendental creatures, having foiled of their plans using a Gene Bomb that will cause to lose control of their powers and die. However, judging from the promotional teaser revealed so far, it doesn't look like he will be involved in the battle against them this time round, unfortunately.
In case you haven't figured things it out, the event - dubbed Heroes v Aliens - will take place over four sequential nights, starting with an episode of Supergirl on Monday 28 November, followed by The Flash's episode on Tuesday, Arrow's on Wednesday and finally Legends Of Tomorrow on Thursday.
While the episodes share the same title - 'Invasion,' named after the original comic series - Supergirl's episode is titled Medusa, which makes sense given that Supergirl exists on a different Earth than the rest of the shows in the Arrow verse. But most importantly, it must have taken some creativity from the writers to work out how she becomes involved in their storylines... I think it's safe to assume as viewers we should expect some holes in the framework of space-time.
