Before the month is out, we’ll be treated to the latest four-part Arrowverse crossover. Last year’s team-up between the heroes of Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow was one of the biggest highlights of the shared universe so far, and brought in some huge ratings for The CW.
Story-wise, it featured an alien race called the Dominators invading the Earth. How will this year go bigger, then? Well, instead of aliens, the Arrowverse heroes will face their own evil Nazi doppelgangers from another world.
The synopses for the four episodes that make up the crossover, titled “Crisis on Earth-X,” have now been revealed. In an effort to keep spoilers for how the plot progresses under wraps, the text remains basically the same for all four synopses, but it still does give us a full list of the characters who’ll be involved in each episode.

If you’re interested in some spoilers, a few juicy ones have leaked out already, thanks to photos snapped during filming. For instance, we know that Earth-X’s Flash, Blitzen, is actually a version of Harrison Wells. Meanwhile, another pic seemingly revealed that Barry Allen and Iris West won’t be the only ones getting married in the crossover, as it looks like Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak might be tying the knot, too.
The Arrowverse crossover, titled “Crisis on Earth-X,” airs over two nights, beginning November 27th.
