Alright: this is the shiznit we've been waiting for.
The CW has four DC Comics Super Hero shows airing now, and what do the big companies love doing more than anything? Crossovers.
Taking inspiration from the short 1989 DC Universe crossover Invasion, this storyline shows us how the Arrowverse heroes react when the Dominators invade the Earth.
It begins (sort-of; heard it's the tag at the end) with Supergirl (Monday, 7 pm), then moves to The Flash (Tuesday, 7 pm), Arrow (Wednesday, 7 pm), and (presumably) ends with DC's Legends of Tomorrow (Thursday, 7 pm).
Previous crossovers (between two shows) have been a lot of fun, and I expect this one to follow that pattern.
