Crisis On Earth-X: Two More Bad Guys Appear On New Poster
The CW has released a new poster for their Arrowverse 4-series crossover event, Crisis on Earth-X. The teasers so far showed Overgirl, Dark Archer and Dark Flash plus a second archer we've come to know is a version of Prometheus. But a newly released poster shows two more villains on the bad guys side… and they're easy to pick out.
Just on the other side of Overgirl in the image is an A.T.O.M. droid form season one of Legends, but it sure looks like Brainiac from the 80's where he looks more robotic than alien. And in the background we see Red Tornado. This character first appeared in Supergirl season one and also showed up in the trailer for Freedom Fighters: The Ray animated series that was released during the summer. In the animated trailer he was working on the side of the resistance but here he clearly seems to be on the bad guys side of the page. There has been little to no discussion of these characters so far, meaning they could play a very small role or might be all CGI. Red Tornado was played by Iddo Goldberg in his appearance on Supergirl. Goldberg most recently played Frtiz Lang in the Last Tycoon and has appeared in Get Shorty.
Crisis on Earth-X is a 2-night, 4-hour event starting at 8 PM on Monday November 27th with back-to-back episodes of Supergirl and Arrow then on Tuesday November 28th, back-to-back episodes of Flash and Legends of Tomorrow wraps things up.
