This is the crossover we’ve been waiting for! A full on Justice League style team-up. It was recently announced that the superheroes from all of the CW’s DC comic series will unite to battle iconic alien race The Dominators in the big crossover event coming this fall.
“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,” Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim says. “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, collectively known as the Dominion, are a fictional alien race from the outer cosmos of the DC Universe. They are highly technologically advanced, and live in a rigid hierarchical society, in which one’s caste is determined by the size of a red circle on one’s forehead. They are master geneticists who can manipulate the metagene to enhance members of their own caste.
“Their appearance (the yellow skin, red circle, squinting eyes, and sharp teeth and nails) and their general demeanor are references to the old “Yellow Peril” villains of 1940s comic books, particularly Lev Gleason Publications’ the Claw.”
The Flash season three premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m., Arrow season five premieres Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m., Supergirl season two premieres Monday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. and Legends of Tomorrow season two premieres Thursday, Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. on The CW.
