Several reports revealed that Kara Zor-El/Supergirl (Benoist) will be the main focus of the four-part crossover and showrunner Greg Berlanti told Entertainment Weekly that all the heroes from all four shows will unite to combat a powerful threat.
Fans are still questioning as to who or what this "unifying threat" could be as Berlanti did not elaborate any further details. With "Legends of Tomorrow" introducing both the Justice Society of America and the Legion of Doom, it seems that the four-part episode will serves as the instrument to make the Legion of Doom a powerful threat or a precursor of something far worse than them.
