[Watch]The First Look At The Alien Race Dominators Is Finally Here - The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow
Finally, The Dominators arrive on Earth-1, and fans couldn’t be more excited. The CW Network has revealed the first official look at The Dominators in a teaser trailer that aired last night during Supergirl.
The Dominators, the alien race from the outer cosmos of the DC Universe, will invade Earth. This invasion, as reported, will happen during the upcoming four-show crossover between The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
Who could possibly complain at an alien invasion when it will be the reason why these four TV series will come together? The exclusive sneak-peak trailer opens with Barry (Grant Gustin) investigating a spaceship that landed in a crash in Central City. Moments later, The Fastest Man Alive starts to panic as he finds out that the passengers of the spaceship are actually aliens.
In the trailer, Iris (Candice Patton) can be heard telling Barry that, “You can’t do this alone.” In which Barry responds with “I’m not planning to.”
Then the trailer shows main characters from all four shows assembling - excitement ensues. The crossover is set to happen next month in “Invasion!” It’s a three-part crossover that will start following the final moments of an episode of Supergirl. It will then play through the other series.
“Invasion!”, as fans of the comics will know, is based on the 1988 comic book event miniseries by Keith Giffen, Todd McFarlane, Bill Mantlo, Bart Sears and more. Representatives of EW confirms that the TV version will be as close to the plot of the comic series’ storyline.

Marc Guggenheim, executive producer of “Arrow” and “Legends of Tomorrow” said in an interview with Superhero Insider last month that the Dominators’ mission in the crossover event is truly similar with their objective in the comics.
“I will say that their goal is very closely related to what was established in the comics, and it does have to do with metahumans,” Guggenheim said.“It’s very, very faithful to the comics.”
In the comics, The Dominators will assemble aliens and descend on Earth to bring an end to the “threat” of Earth’s burgeoning metahuman community. However, in the TV version, The Dominators will be mind-controlling the aliens instead of assembling a loose alliance of several dangerous alien races.
There are also been some big hints of heroes potential square off against one another as the Dominators’ ability to control minds become part of the story. The four-night crossover event will start on Nov.28 with that night’s episode of Supergirl.
Supergirl airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT; The Flash on Tuesdays at the same time; Arrow on Wednesdays and DC's Legends of Tomorrow on Thursdays.
