Kevin Smith Wants To Direct Next DC Team-Up
DC Comics and the CW had a very historic TV year, not the least of which was because of the 4-part TV crossover called “Invasion”, which featured, Supergirl, The Flash, Green Arrow, and the Legends of Tomorrow coming together to fight off the Dominators. Now, with all four shows getting their season renewal, a lot of people are coming to say “Let me direct them!” Including Kevin Smith.
If you recall, Kevin Smith has already directed The Flash in Season 02, and Season 03, and has directed Supergirl. But now? He’s already put in his hat to be the director/overseer for the next DC Comics Crossover. He didn’t even wait for the renewals to put his hat in the ring:
“If they ask me? I put in my request to [executive producer Andrew] Kreisberg already, dude. After I watched their crossover, I said, ‘Please, dude, please, next year, just give me a taste of that crossover. I just want to be involved in one of them. I don’t care which one.’ They look like a nightmare to shoot, I’ll be honest with you. I did the ‘Killer Frost’ episode [of The Flash] right before they went into the crossovers, and the crossover schedule, you’re talking about four different shows where you’re swapping performers and characters and stuff like that. It’s a nightmare on all the AD’s, as they have to try to figure out how to make this all work. That being said, look at the end results, dude. That was absolutely thrilling to watch all four of those shows cross over….I’m asking, I’m asking. I don’t know if they’ll let me but believe me, I’ve already put in the request. I said, ‘Whatever it is next season, whatever the crossover is, even if it was The Death of Kevin Smith, I want to be involved somehow.'”
