Brandon Routh is also returning as the Man of Steel (he’ll play the “Kingdom Come” version, not the same character he played in the 2006 film “Superman Returns”).Īdditionally, Burt Ward will appear in an unknown role - Ward played Robin in the 1960s “Batman” TV show with Adam West - and Kevin Conroy will also make an appearance on the five-hour event as Batman himself: Bruce Wayne. The five-part event will include three different versions of Superman and two separate Lois Lanes, including “Smallville’s” Tom Welling and Erica Durance. The CW’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover continues to grow. This is not to be confused with the upcoming “Birds of Prey” film, which will see Mary Elizabeth Winstead play the Huntress, alongside Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary and Margot Robbie returning as Harley Quinn from “Suicide Squad.” Ewan McGregor and Rosie Perez also star in the film.Īlso Read: 'Crisis on Infinite Earths': Erica Durance to Return as 'Smallville' Lois Lane for The CW's Mega-Crossover The series ran for 13 episodes before being canceled due to low ratings. It’s the same role she played on the short-lived TV version of “Birds of Prey,” which lasted just one season in 2002 on The CW’s predecessor network, The WB. Ashley Scott has joined the ever-expanding crossover event as Helena Scott aka The Huntress. 14 episode of Arrow and a special instalment of Legends of Tomorrow.The CW is reaching far back into the DC Comics TV canon for its latest “Crisis on Infinite Earths” casting. After a month-long holiday break, it concludes with the Jan. Is Osric Chau perhaps joining the Legends? You heard it here first…Ĭrisis on Infinite Earths kicks off Sunday, December 8th on Supergirl, then continues with a Monday episode of Batwoman and that Tuesday’s The Flash. It’s interesting that Choi will be in the crossover since we know that Brandon Routh, who plays The ATOM aka Ray Palmer in Legends of Tomorrow, is stepping down after the upcoming season. The character was also set to appear in Zack Snyder’s Justice League but alas was cut from the final version of the movie that Warner Bros released. In the series he is described as a “physics professor at Ivy Town University, a normal guy who learns that he has a pivotal role to play in the coming crisis on infinite earths.”Ĭomic fans will know of course that Choi is the parson who picks up the mantel of The ATOM after Ray Palmer is lost in the Microverse in the Rebirth books. TV Insider has learned exclusively that Osric Chau has been cast the recurring role of Ryan Choi for this winter’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover between Arrow, The Flash, Batwoman, Supergirland DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Of course, having Carter back as an older Diana Prince AKA Wonder Woman would be nothing short of magical.Īnd finally, in a last bit of Crisis news, it seems that Supernatural star Osric Chau – he played prophet Kevin Tran and also popped up in the BBC’s Dirk Gently series – has been cast as Ryan Choi. In addition to this, in a new report about why Michael Rosenbaum turned down a return as Lex Luthor, Deadline revealed that it looks like Lynda Carter may also be returning: “Lynda Carter (who portrayed an alien disguised as an American politician on two seasons of Supergirl) also might return as some version of Wonder Woman, the character that that gave Carter an iconic career success in the 1970s.” She starred alongside Dina Meyer as Batgirl and Rachel Skarsten as Black Canary… Skarsten is set to appear in the upcoming Bargirl series as the main villain, Alice, so it’s not totally unthinkable that she may cameo in her past role too. The actress played Helena in the 2002 Birds of Prey series which, it could be argued, laid the foundation for The CW’s DC TV Universe before even Smallville. We have three exciting additions today, with the first being Ashley Scott who play Helena Kyle (daughter of Batman and Catwoman) AKA Huntress in the five-part event. It looks like The CW’s Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover is dipping into the past, present and future for this year’s TV event.
