While Supergirl may have flown off into the sunset, next week will mark the return of The CW's flagship DC series, The Flash, which is set to kick off its five-part "Armageddon" event with an action-packed hour that will see the Scarlet Speedster (Grant Gustin) team-up with The Atom (Brandon Routh) to take on his most dangerous threat yet: Despero (Tony Curran).
Meanwhile, it sounds like the Legends of Tomorrow will finally get back to their time travel shenanigans, but Dr. Gwen Davies (Matt Ryan) may still need to work out a few kinks in his time machine, as it strands the team in the middle of a forest in an uncertain time period and things aren't looking up when they discover their close proximity to Chernobyl.
Then, on Batwoman, it looks like Poison Ivy (Bridget Regan) may finally be ready to make her debut when Ryan (Javicia Leslie) and Batwing (Camrus Johnson) investigate the latest Bat Trophy, which may have a thorny connection to the iconic DC Comics villain.
