Freedom Fighters: The Ray

At long last, The CW will finally treat Arrow, Flash, Legends and Supergirl to a proper four-way crossover with the two-night “Crisis on Earth-X.” The yearly event is always a highlight, but did you realize that The CW’s DC superheroes have met onscreen no less than twenty-five times? Before Barry and Iris’ big wedding brings comic chaos galore, the many Arrow-verse crossovers simply must be ranked.

As if the real world weren’t increasingly rife with Nazis, the Arrow-verse has a whole planet full of them. See the forces of “Earth-X” invade Barry and Iris’ wedding with a full trailer for the four-way crossover event between Supergirl, Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow.

Last year, The CW announced the first DC Comics show led by a gay superhero with Freedom Fighters: The Ray, an upcoming animated series on CW Seed. Today brings news of not only the actor who will voice the superhero, but live-action appearance on the upcoming Arrow-verse mega crossover event...

You’d be forgiven to wonder what became of CW Seed’s animated Freedom Fighters: The Ray after its announcement a year ago, but the trailer is finally here and … oh boy. Meet Nazi Supergirl, Green Arrow and Flash as The Ray battles through Earth X in the new animated series.

It’s been several months since The CW first announced an additional animated Arrow-verse series beyond Vixen, aiming to adapt Freedom Fighters: The Ray. Said universe has been understandably busy in recent weeks, but producers tease that The Ray is assembling an “ambitious” writing staff that ties into some larger news about Vixen.

Just as The CW’s Arrow-verse births a new Vixen, so too is her comic progenitor about to have some company. The CW confirms that CW Seed will launch a new animated series set within the universe, Freedom Fighters: The Ray, featuring a gay lead with a voice to be cast for eventual live-action debut.
