DC’s Arrowverse Faces Armageddon in Its New Crossover Trailer

Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) is not any stranger to saving the world or impending deadlines of doom. But within the Flash-centric crossover that can kick off the present’s eighth season, appropriately titled Armageddon, Barry’s solely obtained seven days to cease the extraterrestrial villain Despero from killing everybody on Earth—and this time, he’s going to should do it with out the assistance of Oliver Queen and Supergirl.

Luckily, there are different DC superhero telephone numbers in his contacts app, together with the Atom (Brandon Routh), Batwoman (Javicia Leslie), Black Lighting (Cress Williams), Mia Smoak (Katherine McNamara) in her Green Arrow togs, Sentinel (Supergirl’s Chyler Leigh), and Ryan Choi (Osric Chau), who lastly returns to the Arrowverse after enjoying a significant position within the final miniseries, Crisis on Infinite Earths, after which mainly disappearing. Based on the trailer, the group appears to suit collectively very effectively:

Together they’ll tackle Despero (performed by Tony Curran, who you would possibly bear in mind finest as Vincent Van Gogh in that nice Doctor Who episode), an alien warlord who offers the Flash seven days to… defeat him? Save the planet? Kind of the identical factor, I suppose. Complicating issues would be the return of fan-favorite villains Eobard Thawne aokaya the Reverse Flash (the Tom Cavanagh model) and Damien Darhk (the all the time fantastic Neal McDonough) who you wouldn’t essentially suppose could be pro-destruction of all life on Earth, however you possibly can by no means actually know with these guys, are you able to?

Honestly, I used to be not excited on the concept of one other DC/CW crossover after Crisis on Infinite Earths—like, how might they prime it?—however this does appear to be a variety of enjoyable. And it will likely be cool to see this motley staff work out methods to save the world with out Supergirl or Oliver Queen’s Green Arrow holding their arms. It ought to really feel like one thing new and contemporary, not less than, which The Flash desperately wants even when the opposite sequence don’t.

The five-episode Armageddon begins in The Flash’s season premiere, which can air on November 16.
