The CW has released the extended trailer for next week’s big four-show crossover, titled “Crisis on Earth-X”. The clip is about two and a half minutes long, so it contains many more snippets and details than any of the previous trailers we’ve seen. Check it out below.
The episodes will air on November 27th (Supergirl and Arrow) and November 28th (The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow). Will you be watching, and if so what aspects are you most looking forward to?
Flash writer Joshua Williamson posted a nice little tidbit on Twitter yesterday which excited a fiercely diehard segment of Rogues fandom: the apparent return of the Top in January’s Flash annual! It’s been a long, long time since we’ve been happy, as unfortunately Turbine and then the later iteration of New 52 Roscoe Dillon never really hit the mark for us. So this news is very much welcome and appreciated. No other details yet, but the annual will also bring back Magenta for the first time in a long while, so there’s much to look forward to in January.
DC has released five preview pages for Flash #35, which you can see at CBR. In it, we find out how Meena survived Godspeed’s attack, as well as her motivation for seeking out the Negative Speed Force. The issue is due out in stores this week.

The CW has released a third teaser for the upcoming crossover storyline, called “Crisis on Earth-X”. The episodes will air on November 27th and 28th, and they encompass all four of the CW DCU shows. As you can see, it involves a very large cast.
Plus, the CW posted a lot of still images from the episodes, which will probably give away much of the story if you look at all of them. But they can be viewed at Farfarawaysite.com if you aren’t bothered by potential spoilers.
The CW has released the official synopsis for The Flash‘s mid-season finale, titled “Don’t Run”. It’s due to air on December 5th, and will feature the return of Amunet (Blacksmith) as well as a move by the Thinker.
“Don’t Run” — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)
KATEE SACKHOFF RETURNS AS AMUNET — Amunet (guest star Katie Sackhoff) kidnaps Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) and puts meta-dampener handcuffs on her to keep her from turning into Killer Frost. Amunet tells Caitlin she needs her to perform a tricky medical task and if Caitlin fails, Amunet will kill her. Meanwhile, The Thinker (guest star Neil Sandilands) traps The Flash (Grant Gustin) in a speedster-proof prison. With the clock ticking, The Team doesn’t have the time or resources to track both Caitlin and Barry so Iris (Candice Patton) is forced to choose who to save. Stefan Pleszczynski directed the episode written by Sam Chalsen & Judalina Neira (#409). Original airdate 12/5/2017.
