It's almost time to say goodbye to Grant Gustin and his time as the Scarlet Speedster in the Arrowverse, as The CW has released the final poster and trailer for the final episode of "The Flash" - which will air on May 24 and end the show after nine seasons of superhero adventures and fighting the forces of evil.
It’s been too long since we last saw Stephen Amell back as the Emerald Archer hero that began the Arrowverse in The CW, but the actor was asked to reprise his role for the final season of The Flash this year - and now we get a look at just that via a Behind The Scenes photo from John Diggle/ Spartan actor David Ramsey at IG!
It’s Oliver Queen/ Green Arrow back with Spartan, Kid Flash, and The Flash of course for the ninth and final season of The Flash coming later this year!
Straight out of DC FanDome weekend after revealing his new boots that he'll be using in the new season, Grant Gustin will return as The Flash as the new season introduces as DC on the CW crossover level storyline in Armageddon - a five-part episode arc that features guest stars and appearances such as Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak Queen/ Green Arrow, Cress Williams as Jefferson Pierce/ Black Lightning, Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer/ The Atom, and Tom Cavanagh as Eobard Thawne/ The Reverse Flash.
The main baddie is Despero, as portrayed by Tony Curran. Osric Chau also returns as Dr. Ryan Choi.
The 100th episode of The CW's highly successful Arrowverse spin-off series "Legends of Tomorrow" will be a star-studded ensemble filled with familiar faces, as Entertainment Weekly presents the first look at the cast who'll be gathering and featuring the return of some very familiar faces - including Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold, Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter, Victor Garber as Martin Stein and Franz Drameh as Jax who both combine to form Firestorm, Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer/ The Atom, Courtney Ford as Nora Darhk, and Falk Hentschel as Hawkman.
The 100th Episode will be directed by Sara Lance/ White Canary herself Caity Lotz, and will air on the 27th this month!
A classic Justice League villain will be at the center of The Flash Season 8's "Armageddon" crossover type storyline, as Entertainment Weekly confirms that Despero is the big bad of that upcoming event - which will see Grant Gustin's Barry Allen/ Flash teaming up with familiar heroes from the Arrowverse/ CW-Verse such as Brandon Routh's Atom and Kat McNamara's Green Arrow.
Despero of course is an alien from another world with powerful psychic powers - who has opposed the Justice League for many years since his creation in the 1960's. He'll be played by Tony Curran in The CW, who has also starred in Doctor Who, X-Men: First Class, Thor: The Dark World, and Marvel's Daredevil series on Netflix.
The Flash Season 8 begins on November 8 on The CW.
The Arrowverse will be having its annual crossover event again soon and using a familiar DC storyline name to boot, as "Armageddon" has been announced for November 18 - beginning with the premiere episode of The Flash's eight season and stretching for a five part arc that will feature the return of familiar heroes such as Brandon Routh's The Atom, Cress Williams as Black Lightning, and Kat McNamara's Mia Smoak Queen/ Green Arrow. Tom Cavanagh and Neal McDonough return as well as Reverse-Flash and Damien Darhk.
Here's the synopsis on Armageddon as featured on Deadline.
In “Armageddon,” a powerful alien threat arrives on Earth under mysterious circumstances and 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.
It's almost time to start the fourth and final season of "Black Lightning", as The CW preps to finish off the series with this final season. However, Jefferson Pierce's legacy will certainly live on in the Arrowverse, as his daughters Jennifer and Anissa are suited up together with their dad as Lightning and Thunder respectively!
Black Lightning will premiere its final season this February 8 on The CW.
Premiering in over a week and literally setting "a new beginning" in the DC live action series set in the Arrowverse, The CW has released a brand new poster for the second season of Batwoman - which introduces Javicia Leslie as a brand new heroine in Ryan Wilder. Stepping in for the former Batwoman star Ruby Rose who played Kate Kane, Leslie is set to become a new kind of Batwoman protecting Gotham City and dealing with a new threat in the False Face Society.
If you missed it during the holidays, here's the trailer to Season 2.
After casting Javicia Leslie as the new series lead Ryan Wilder following the departure of Ruby Rose from the series, fans have yet to see this Batwoman in motion and wearing the costume in action. That all changes with a new teaser The CW just aired that shows brief snippets of Wilder's masked vigilante in action, giving viewers a taste of things to come and the inevitable trailer showing what we can expect when the show airs Season 2 in a few months.
Next year the CW is returning to active duty with their DC slate of live action programs, as filming has resumed for shows like Superman & Lois - their new spin-off series in the Arrowverse that focuses on Clark Ken/ Superman and Lois Lane from Supergirl and giving them their own platform to tell their stories and adventures on.
Thanks to Canadagraphs, we get our first look at the updated super suit that actor Tyler Hoechlin will wear as Superman, which still doesn't have the red trunks but is noticeably more pronounced and muscular from the set photos shared on the site, and seems to be inspired by Superman's suit during the DC Rebirth period of DC Comics. Go visit and take a look at some of them at the link here for a peek at what to expect.
Superman & Lois will premiere on February 23, 2021 on The CW.
