The CW has released new “poster art” to promote the November 16 kick-off to The Flash Season 8 – “Armageddon” – which features an all-star team-up of heroes from other CW shows, including some ended ones!
In addition to Barry (Grant Gustin) and Iris (Candice Patton), we see Supergirl’s Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh), Black Lightning himself (Cress Williams), Arrow and Green Arrow and the Canaries’ Mia Smoak-Queen (Kat McNamara), Legends of Tomorrow’s Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), and Ryan Wilder, the amazing Batwoman (Javicia Leslie!) It’s a crossover without totally being a crossover, as it is all contained within five episodes of The Flash Season 8. Here’s how the story is described:
PART ONE OF THE ARMAGEDDON FIVE EPISODE EVENT – When a powerful alien threat arrives on Earth under mysterious circumstances, Barry (Grant Gustin), Iris (Candice Patton) and the rest of Team Flash are pushed to their limits in a desperate battle to save the world. But with time running out and the fate of humanity at stake, Flash and his companions will also need to enlist the help of some old friends if the forces of good are to prevail. Brandon Routh guest stars. Eric Dean Seaton directed the episode written by Eric Wallace (#801). Original airdate 11/16/2021. Every episode of THE FLASH will be available to stream on The CW App and CWTV.com the day after broadcast for free and without a subscription, log-in or authentication required.
