CW has revealed that its next big crossover event for The Flash is a five-part special called "Armageddon."
The Flash has tackled Crisis on Infinite Earths, brought back a Flash from the 1990s and more for its annual crossover events, and this year’s event will see the team battle to save the world, yet again.
Beginning November 16 at 8 p.m. EST, Armageddon will take place across five different parts and it will see the return of some fan-favorite heroes, too.
"Team Flash will widen its roster to include Javicia Leslie as Batwoman, Brandon Routh as The Atom, Cress Williams as Black Lightning, Chyler Leigh as Sentinel, Kat McNamara as Mia Queen, and Osric Chau as Ryan Choi," a press release from CW reads. "In addition, Tom Cavanagh and Neal McDonough return as the adversaries we love to hate – Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash and Damien Darhk."
Armageddon represents Leslie's first crossover appearance as Batwoman after she was cast to replace Ruby Rose as a new Batwoman last year. It also (kind of) marks the return of Williams' Black Lightning after CW's Black Lightning show came to an end after its fourth season.
Armageddon will kick off on November 16, marking the start of Season 8 of The Flash.
While waiting for that, check out how this crossover event was teased earlier this year and then read about Jordan Fisher's casting to play Bart Allen/Impulse in the series.
