DCEU Cyborg Wants TV Crossover Better Than The Flash In Crisis

Ray Fisher, the DCEU’s Cyborg, would love a TV crossover with Doom Patrol, but only if it was better than the Flash’s Crisis on Infinite Earths cameo. Fisher first stepped into the role of Victor Stone, AKA Cyborg, for 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, though his part was little more than a quick cameo. He then played the superhero again for Justice League in 2017, a film that was meant to serve as Cyborg’s true DCEU origin story. However, following director Zack Snyder’s departure from the film, much of Cyborg’s arc was altered by Joss Whedon.

Fisher isn’t the only active Cyborg right now, as DC Universe and HBO Max’s Doom Patrol has one of its own. Jovian Wade plays Victor on the quirky series, which recently returned for a second season. Fisher has previously shared his support for Wade on social media, calling him “my cybernetic brother from another mother.” While Cyborg isn’t typically included among the Doom Patrol in the comics, the show has managed to find a perfect spot for him among the team.

During his Justice Con panel, Fisher was asked about whether he would be willing to appear in a crossover with Wade’s Cyborg, similar to how Grant Gustin and Ezra Miller’s Barry Allens came together in the Arrowverse’s Crisis on Infinite Earths earlier this year. “It depends, I would say,” Fisher began with a smile. He then went on to explain it like this:

It depends on what the actual auspices of it are. I feel the same way about that as I do about a Cyborg standalone. I only want to do it if I know what the story’s going to be in advance. If it’s just like, ‘Oh hey, what’s up?’ ‘Hey, what’s up… bye,’ that doesn’t really… Like if you could share a moment where both of these guys – both of these people who’ve lost half of themselves see one another and sort of like have a moment of wholeness, or whatever that would be, if we could get deep about the situation… sign me up.

A quick hello is pretty much all Miller’s cameo amounted to, and while it was certainly a fun surprise for fans, it makes sense that Fisher might want a bit more for a crossover of his own. Fisher has been vocal about how much Cyborg’s Justice League storyline means to him, especially when it pertains to the character’s backstory. His idea for a crossover with Doom Patrol‘s Cyborg wherein they bond over their traumatic experiences would make for a very emotional and poignant moment.

Technically, Crisis on Infinite Earths proved every DC universe, whether on the big screen or small, exists alongside each other, so who knows what the future holds for these two Cyborgs. Fisher will be in the spotlight once again with the arrival of Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max next year, and fans are certainly excited to see his full arc. As for what comes after, that remains to be seen, though there are some who are holding out hope that Fisher will finally get the solo Cyborg film he was supposed to get this year. Or, perhaps Fisher will find himself on Doom Patrol somehow. Only time will tell.
