Main Villain For The Four-Part CW Superhero Crossover Announced

DC Entertainment and The CW have announced that the four-part CW superhero crossover will feature an main villain in the form of The Dominators. The crossover will consist of Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow with the storyline for the crossover coming from the three-issue comic crossover event called INVASION!, much of which was drawn by Todd McFarlane.

The Dominators are a sinister, technologically advanced alien race who view Earth’s tendency to generate super-powered people as a sign that humans may essentially evolve to be genetically superior. So naturally, they decide to wipe us out before that ever becomes a problem.

“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.”
