Now that Barry and Cisco have recruited Kara to help them defeat the Dominators (as seen in last night’s Supergirl), the long-awaited four-way Arrowverse crossover – subtitled Heroes vs Aliens – is here. Tonight ‘Invasion: Part One’ kicks off on The Flash, to be followed by Arrow (on its 100th episode, no less) and finally Legends of Tomorrow.
Before it gets started, though, we have this behind-the-scenes featurette to give us one last tease. Featuring sound bites from stars Carlos Valdes, Candice Patton, Brandon Routh, Tom Cavanagh and exec producer Todd Hellbing, the cast and crew chat about the incredible difficulties of pulling off this ambitious television event – but also how much fun it is to work on.

IT’S HEROES VS. ALIENS IN THIS EPIC CROSSOVER EVENT — When aliens called the Dominators attack Central City, Barry (Grant Gustin) speeds over to Star City to ask the Green Arrow (guest star Stephen Amell) for help in stopping them. Realizing the battle against the Dominators is bigger than they thought, they track down the Legends of Tomorrow, and Barry and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) create a breach to bring back a secret weapon – Supergirl (guest star Melissa Benoist). Once all of the super friends are assembled, they come up with a plan to attack but a shocking secret related to Flashpoint is revealed and suddenly no one is sure who they can trust. Meanwhile, Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) wants to join the battle against the aliens but Iris (Candice Patton) tells him he’s not ready. Dermott Downs directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing (#308). Original airdate 11/29/2016.

Everything seems perfect, but Oliver starts to notice small imperfections that make him question this new reality.
