    I wondered that myself. Somebody in a YouTube comments section said it's
    Jim Corrigan, aka The Spectre,
    but I dunno if that's right.

    I don't know, it's hard to tell, but it doesn't really look like Stephen Lobo to me.
    I'm more curious who the people blocked out on the far sides are.

    Here's a slightly wider angle of that shot that includes both Batwoman and J'onn.



    Can't really see the guy in between them very clearly, but it looks like it could be Stephen Lobo, who is playing Jim Corrigan.

    I don't think that's Stephen Lobo -- the face is too round.

    I posted a picture of a bearded Stephen Lobo a couple posts back, and it really doesn't look like him to me.
    So the blurred out sides were just for that one posting of the video, I thought maybe they were hiding spoilers or something.

    I think somebody on You Tube saw a better quality version of the image and Identified the bearded guy as the new Atom.

    [​IMG] This is the best look at the whole group. Brightened up to see better. its clearly the new Atom. I think the beard threw some people off. In a released picture of him on the Waverider he is clean shaven. Given the production schedule who knows what was shot first. Nor the story order.

    So now that we've identified the Atom, can we talk about the fact that Lex Luthor is standing in a lineup of superheroes? I guess it's going to be your standard "heroes and villains grudgingly join forces against a mutual threat" deal, but it's still odd to see. "One of these things is not like the others."

    It reminds me of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie when Rocket asks Quill why he would want to save the galaxy, "because I'm one of the idiots who lives in it!"

    Also, there's a classic moment in Walter Simonson's Thor comics when Thor, Odin and Loki stand side-by-side to defeat Surtur.

    Odin: "For Asgard!"
    Thor: "For Midgard!"
    Loki: "For myself!"
    :lol:

    Is it Lex? Anyone who's read the comics could come up with another answer...

    Well, looks like Earth-73 is toast, judging from that graphic. I wondered if that might be Black Lightning's Earth, since they showed it in the preview he was in, but then they showed it again in the Supergirl part of the preview. And BL was introduced in 1977, so it doesn't fit the pattern of year-based designations like Earth-38 and Earth-90. (There weren't any live-action DC productions in 1973, but it was the debut year for DC's Shazam! revival comic... and for Prez, the comic about "the First Teen President.")

    Technically it's a bunch short teasers for each character or group involved, rather than one big trailer.
    Just tiny bit with Black Lightning was enough to get me excited to finally see him interact with the other Arrowverse heroes.

    Harbinger is really racking up those mileage points.

    The Batwoman part of that trailer makes it seem as if Kate will indeed get pulled out of time for the Crisis, and that she'll tell somebody else about what's going on, which isn't the most elegant of solutions for getting her involved, but is really the only option available given where her narrative timeline is in relation to everyone else's.

    When she returns to her own time, I wonder how much of the world around her would have been altered, or how much will the COIE event will be referenced by Kate going forward....
