It looks like Audrey Marie Anderson is finally ready to step into the spotlight, as it's been confirmed that the upcoming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover event will see the long-time
Arrow cast member make the transformation from Lyla Michaels into her superhero alter-ego Harbinger. Now, thanks to our friends over at
ComicBook, we have a first look at her in costume.
In a statement following the reveal, executive producer Marc Guggenheim teased her big role in the coming Crisis. "
Lyla Michaels as Harbinger is a key component of the original Crisis on Infinite Earths that we were determined to honor in our crossover. What makes this particularly satisfying for us is that we introduced Lyla Michaels and her Harbinger codename all the way back in Arrow Season 1."
Production on arguably the most ambitious television crossover ever is expected to continue through the rest of October as DC characters from
Supergirl,
The Flash, Arrow,
Legends of Tomorrow,
Batwoman,
Black Lightning,
Birds of Prey and
Smallville unite to save the multiverse from the biggest threat it's ever seen.
The epic crossover will feature a ton of returning special guest stars from all across the multiverse, including Tom Welling as Clark Kent/Superman (
Smallville), Erica Durance as Lois Lane (
Smallville), LaMonica Garrett as The Monitor/Anti-Monitor, Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman (Earth-38), Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane (Earth-38), Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor, Cress Williams as Black Lightning, John Wesley Shipp as Barry Allen/The Flash (Earth-90), Johnathon Schaech as Jonah Hex, Osric Chau as Ryan Choi/The Atom, Ashley Scott as Helena Kyle/Huntress (
Birds of Prey), Kevin Conroy as future Bruce Wayne and Burt Ward in an undisclosed role. Additional
Black Lightning characters are also expected to appear, but it's not entirely clear which ones just yet.
Both Brandon Routh (
Legends of Tomorrow) and Tom Cavanagh (
The Flash) will be pulling double (and triple) duty for their respective shows. Routh will suit up as both The Atom and Kingdom Come Superman, while Cavanagh is expected to play Pariah in addition to the latest iteration of Harrison Wells as well as the Reverse-Flash.
"Crisis on Infinite Earths" begins with
Supergirl on December 8, followed by
Batwoman on December 9,
The Flash on December 10 and concludes with an
Arrow/Legends of Tomorrow double header on January 14, 2020.
