San Diego's Comic-Con has been filled with surprises, from the announcement of Marvel Studios' numerous movies and TV shows to new trailers like The Witcher and Westworld Season 3. One of Most exciting moments however took place during the film. Batwoman sign. It was revealed that in the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, which will encompbad the five Arrow-verse shows, the star of the original Batman TV series Burt Ward will appear.

Addressing GameSpot after the panel, Marc Guggenheim, who is Executive Producer of Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, has been extremely optimistic about the announcement. "We have badembled a writers' room with all the hosts of the five broadcasts," he said. "Of course, we've told the story, but we've also put together a list, what cool stuff do we want to see?" Burt was at the top of the list.

Nevertheless, wanting to bring the original Boy Wonder movie into the series and throwing it are two very different things. Guggenheim, however, remembered the situation of a crew member of the Arrow-verse group. "Here's the thing, [Joseph Patrick] Finn, who is the executive producer of The Flash but who was also Arrow's original producer, has always said, "If you do not ask for it, you do not get it," says Guggenheim. & # 39; are like, & # 39; You know what? We do not know if Burt is up. We do not know if he is available or interested. But if you do not ask, you do not get it. "

To their surprise, it was all that it took Ward to agree to be in the crossover. "We were thrilled, beyond delighted – it's so exciting," Guggenheim said. "We are so happy."

As for who he will play in the episode, it is there that things get interesting. It has already been revealed that Brandon Routh, star of Legends of Tomorrow, will play a version of Superman in the crossover – a role he also played in Superman Returns in 2006.

So, will Ward play Robin? Guggenheim played shy when asked directly. "It's a cameo that I'm going to leave [whether or not he’s Dick Grayson] I think you'll know when you'll see it, "he says. You will not ask the question. "It looks like he's going to play Dick Grayson one last time and we're looking forward to it.
