Villains for The CW's Superhero Mega Crossover Event Revealed
When Supergirl teams up with Green Arrow, The Flash, and the crew of the Waverider in December, they'll face a dangerous foe
very familiar to fans of DC Comics.
The Dominators will be the "big bad" in the four-episode crossover event, The CW announced today.
Fans familiar with the aliens -- towering, with bright yellow skin and giant teeth -- may wonder just how many compromises producers will have to make to bring them to the screen in a way that looks good -- but according to producers, the answer is none at all.
"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 Superheroes," said
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,” Guggenheim added.
