So far with these Elseworlds promos, we’ve seen Barry Allen and Oliver Queen swap lives, Kara Danvers imprisoned in S.T.A.R. Labs, and Batwoman, not Batman, keeping watch over Gotham City. All of these spots have mostly been teasers, but the most recent and slightly longer promo that aired during last night’s episode of Supergirl gave us a better sense of the story for the upcoming DCCW crossover.
In the new Elseworlds promo, we revisit the aforementioned life swaps, but we’re also given our first look at the Monitor and Jeremy Davies’ Dr. John Deegan, who is working with the Monitor. We see Oliver and Diggle confront the doctor, telling him that he has the power to undo these changes, but Deegan has no intention of doing that. More than that, we also see John Wesley Shipp suiting as as the Flash from the 1990s series alongside Supergirl, Green Arrow, and present-day Barry Allen. Well, who is now Stephen Amell for the moment, anyway.
The Monitor, we see, offered godhood — and possibly the book to rewrite history — to Dr. John Deegan, and it’s time to show the heroes what a real god can do. And it’s during these words that we see not just the Kent farm, but also the return of Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman… both in his traditional costume and the black suit. Could the Arrowverse heroes be getting ready to come to blows with the Man of Steel? Well, Kara already beat him once on their own Earth when he was brainwashed, so she’s already got that going for her.
Nonetheless, have a look at the new Elseworlds promo in the video below.
Given the appearances of both Diggle and Killer Frost in the trailer, it appears that like in past crossovers, other supporting characters in the Arrowverse will play huge roles in this event. And with Caitlin recently discovering that Killer Frost is alive and well in her, perhaps that could come into play with this Elseworlds event.
Nonetheless, the crossover is now just a little under two weeks away and we’ll see what brings not just Supergirl, Green Arrow, and The Flash together, but now Ruby Rose’s Batwoman and Gotham City are roped into the mix as well. Plus, we haven’t seen Superman pop up on this season of Supergirl yet, though we know he’s off-world, so it will be interesting to see how he’s brought in and the explanation for the black suit. What did you think of the recent Elseworlds promo? Let us know in the comments below.
The Arrowverse “Elseworlds” crossover starts on Sunday, December 9 with The Flash, continues on December 10 with Arrow, and concludes with Supergirl on December 11. The special will air on the CW.
