When the CW ’s Arrowverse " Crisis " crossover happen , it will include another familiar face : 1960 ’s Robin himself ( another alternating reality ? ) , Burt Ward .
At theBatwomanpanel at San Diego Comic - Con in the first place today , executive producerCaroline Driesdropped a major cameo for this winter’s"Crisis"event . Burt Ward , best screw for playing Robin in the 1960’sBatmanlive action show , colloquially touch to asBatman ' 66due to the release particular date of the eponymous moving picture , will make an appearance .
detail beyond that are slim , but this is what we have intercourse already about the " Crisis " event . Ward is not the only one come back to an iconic part for the event . We already knowJohn Wesley Shippwill return as The Flash , a purpose he played both in the 90 ’s in the short - live CBS show and on the CW’sThe Flashwhere he plays the Jay Garrick incarnation of the speedster from Earth 2 .
And this calendar week we get word thatTyler Hoechlinwill pass toSupergirlto play Kara ’s cousin Kal - El , aka Superman ( he has been taking authorship leave on Argo to have a child with Lois Lane , like you do ) . And even more amazing , Brandon Routh will also be returning to the cape and tights as Superman , which he antecedently played inSuperman Returns . ( Routh has been a serial steady onLegends of Tomorrowand previously onArrowas Ray Palmer aka The Atom ) .

Why all the superhero intermixture ups ? The " Crisis " event is being manipulated by The Monitor , who in theElseworldsevent last class organise a team - up of some of the CW - poesy ’s biggest heroes to quiz if they would be strong enough to stand up to one of the DC Universe ’s most apocalyptic and awful villains , The Anti - Monitor . This let in a consistency - switching subplot where Oliver Queen and Barry Allen went all Freaky Friday , which may aid explain in - universe whyBrandon Routhcan become the large blue boy talent scout . Presumably , across the " Crisis " event , across five shows ( and two years ! As the first three episodes will air in December of 2019 and the terminal two will conclude in January 2020 ) , all of our Hero will have to unite or croak , and likely look off against a similar rascal gallery of villains .
Ward ca-ca another interesting summation , as it register producers are very concerned in playing to the long story of DC Comics in various culture medium , but especially telly . Batman ' 66has made a surprising resurgence in the preceding few twelvemonth , with its campy crest crusader and boy admiration seem in their own comic serial publication , a few animated movies , and toy line . intromit it , you sort of loveBatman ' 66 .
Ward will be a welcome summation to " Crisis , " and we ’ll keep reporting on everything we learn about how the event will reshape the CWuniversemultiverse .
