Alien evil invades The CW’s four #DCTV shows this Fall.
Heroes of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow will team up for a four-episode crossover event. It’s the biggest crossover so far for the network.
DC Comics revealed the giant threat our heroes will face – The Dominators.
The evil extraterrestrials are right out of a classic DC epic.
In the comics The Dominators are sinister aliens who see Earth’s tendency to generate super-powered people as a sign that all humans may evolve to be genetically superior. They decide to wipe humanity out before we can evolve.
The Dominators were created as villains for the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th century and led an alien alliance attack that played out in a three-issue comic crossover event called INVASION!
“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,” explains Arrow and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow 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 Dominators have appeared in animated DC movies and shows. This will be the first time we will see them in live action.
Chris Wood will play Mon-El of the Legion of Superheroes on Supergirl this season.
The CW’s DCTV shows starting returning with new episodes next week.
