IT’S HEROES VS. ALIENS IN THIS EPIC CROSSOVER EVENT — When aliens called the Dominators attack Central City, Barry (Grant Gustin) speeds over to Star City to ask the Green Arrow (guest star Stephen Amell) for help in stopping them. Realizing the battle against the Dominators is bigger than they thought, they track down the Legends of Tomorrow, and Barry and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) create a breach to bring back a secret weapon – Supergirl (guest star Melissa Benoist). Once all of the super friends are assembled, they come up with a plan to attack but a shocking secret related to Flashpoint is revealed and suddenly no one is sure who they can trust. Meanwhile, Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) wants to join the battle against the aliens but Iris (Candice Patton) tells him he’s not ready. Dermott Downs directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing.

Invasion! kicks off at the tail end of Supergirl on Nov. 28, and continues all week on The Flash (Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 8/7c), Arrow (Wednesday, Nov. 30 at 8/7c), and Legends of Tomorrow (Thursday, Dec. 1 at 8/7c).

@ConnorHawkeye - I don't watch the show, but yeah she seems to be very good in the role. And a stunner too.

Ok....they've got to feel a little ridiculous running in these suits. The CW costumes are, for lack of a better word, silly. Now, I do like the Supergirl suit and the ATOM Suit; very well done for network tv. The Flash suit is hit or miss with me sometimes. The rest imo, look comical.

@ComicsBornAndBred - I think that some of the suits are good, but then some, like the Hawk-wolverines were really bad. I like the tone of the shows, and I like how they are very much like the comics

@ConnorHawkeye - I appreciate the love of the source material the shows display. They usually try their best to give everyone some fan service.

@ComicsBornAndBred - The flash suit looks terrible in set photos and stuff but on screen it seems to work well enough.

I know the show is titled "Supergirl" but you have Martian Manhunter and Superman and you decide to pick the girl with an ego bigger than Stein's?

They better not call them the Justice League at the end of the crossover. There is only one ORIGINAL founding member in that picture and two of them are on another Earth replaced by someone who says "Kryptonese."



Also, where the hell are Hawkman and Hawkgirl?

@Kr08 - if they call themselves the Justice League at the end....

@ComicsBornAndBred - The Hall of Justice was seen in the promo posters and the promos show them post-fight talking to military. Also, the first season of The Flash had Gideon say "One of the founding members of--"

@Kr08 - I get that they wanna do thier own JL but it just wont fell right.

You need the OGs in there

@ComicsBornAndBred - I would be fine if Martian Manhunter and Superman were there with Supergirl serving as the Wonder Woman replacement.

ATOM is Green Lantern.
Green Arrow is Batman lite (although he has been kicking ass this season)
And Hawkgirl is herself.

Firestorm is a powerhouse that belongs on the team with Citizen Steel being a funny, young Colossus. Diggle doesn't belong as Spartan. I would be happy with him there if he was Guardian.

We know that Green Lantern is a part of the Arrowverse.

Melissa Benoist is a VERY good actress. She kind of outclasses Gustin and Amell imo. She has the makings of someone who could easily transition into being a blockbuster star.

I always thought she could've easily played Rey in TFA. She's got a really authentic charisma.

She does a great job being a role model for young girls. My little cousin adores her and wants to be like Supergirl.
