Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we have a first look at John Wesley Shipp's return as the Fastest Man Alive, Jay Garrick, in the upcoming ninth episode of Stargirl. The actor returns as the Golden Age version of The Flash for the show's first Arrowverse crossover, though he won't be hanging out with Courtney Whitmore. 

Instead, we're getting flashbacks to his time as a member of the original Justice Society of America. This means we'll also get to spend time with the likes of Sylvester Pemberton/Starman (Joel McHale), Johnny Thunder (Ethan Embry), Rex Tyler/Hourman (Lou Ferrigno Jr.), and Ted Grant/Wildcat (Brian Stapf) as they square off with Nick Taraby's villainous Eclipso. 

In the present day, that big bad is set to take aim at Stargirl and her family, and we can only hope that The Flash returns somewhere down the line for a team-up. 

While the JSA was wiped out at the start of Stargirl's first season, we know Starman somehow survived and is seemingly on a mission to regain his Cosmic Staff. We actually caught up with McHale recently to ask what it's been like to find himself in the DC Universe at this stage of his career. 

"I’m thrilled. Believe me, when Geoff Johns from Stargirl said, ‘Hey, wanna play Starman? You get to wear a supersuit and have a cosmic staff and blow shit up,'" the actor recalled. "Again, I’m saying, ‘How did I get to this point in my career? How did it happen? I don’t know why I’m so lucky, but I’m not going to ask any more questions and I’m just thrilled.’"
