Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths to be 5-Part Crossover
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
it might be the angle, but that doesn't look like Tyler's face. Could it be another Superman actor? I saw someone speculating on Reddit that it might be Gerard Christopher, and I can kinda see the resemblance.
Also the news ticker at the bottom, is that Earth's USA preparing to go to war? Or maybe it's related to the Crisis.

Well, I would hope Black Lightning. I am thinking Legends might go before Flash. I would hope the CW would come to their senses and make just 2 per season (Fall , Winterish/Spring and SUmmer).. that could make the shows last longer.
I would hope we would get SOME of these shows for at least next 3-4 years (Smallville was 10, and Supernatural is like what 15?; so totally doable for the CW))
Holy exaggeration, Batman! This is more like Black Panther being in the same universe as Ant Man (with a giant toy Thomas the Train and Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 (the facial exaggerations in with the warp jumps).
Black Panther in Civil War and Infinity Wars and Endgame didn't sink to "their" level. Rather the goofier characters become moderately serious.
While more episodes/hours than the movies, and a different comic company, i think it is a fair comparison. (Multicultural fans appreciate BOTH MCU and DCTV and how they respect fans of the ENTIRE genre)
I still maintain that this division was mostly for the Akils, so they could make sure THEY shepard their characters, not the white producers. So now, the white producers have to conform to Black Lightning for the character standards.
Things like creating the Outsiders will be much easier... where especially Arrow characters will be available to join. We may see them form as a reaction to any "Justice League" they might want to try out for the next crossover.
I think the worst will be Black Lightning characters making a 4th wall joke why they won't be in the next crossover (like how Legends did for the crossover they weren't in).
Even if one ignores the low ratings, there's no reason to think they will last another 3 to 4 years. Just because Smallville lasted that long is not an indicator of how the Arrowverse shows play to audiences. Smallville spoke to a different audience and its market was not overflowing with a superhero media trend that some are already tired of seeing, especially when so much of it is not that good.
Black Panther was not like most of the MCU's...offerings...but it was closer to the rest of the MCU in its language and overall place in the franchise than Black Lightning is to the rest of the CW/DC shows. A layman just discovering Black Lightning would never--from the start-- assume it has anything to do with series such as Flash or a Supergirl because they are as different in intent/execution as The Invisibles compared to Teen Titans Go, the TV Punisher to the GOTG films.
If by white producers you are referring to the producers of the other series, there's no reason to expect they would ever lean in the direction of the Akils/Oz Scott's direction, as that is not how/why their shows were designed at all. The everyday kind of dialogue, serious and very unique sociopolitical references (how it actually ties into the reason for in-universe conflicts), and so much more are simply nowhere to be found in the other CW/DC series, so trying to "pretzel" those series to be anything like Black Lightning would be so obvious and unnatural that it would not work at all. But that was predictable from the BL pilot.
Since BL has charted its own course nearly three full seasons in, they have enough of their own world/character building to introduce the seeds of the Outsiders alone, and at least it would be universe-consistent, rather than forcing a union just because.
If no-one's got the rights, why haven't Sky bought them? I read somewhere where Warners had some subscription channel ala Netflix coming here next year and Batwoman was going to be one of its shows. I've also read that Sky aren't showing any COIE episodes until next year, I'm guessing they'll want to show them all in the same week without a gap. And maybe buy themselves time to resolve the Batwoman issue.
By the way what's going to happen to this thread once the crossover begins, will it remain a spoiler-free place open to all, or will it gain a spoiler warning which means people like me who may not get to see Crisis for sometime won't be able to come here without being spoiled?

I'd be more impressed if they reached out to Michael Keaton about reprising his role of Batman.
Rumor was Keaton was interested but WB shut it down.
I heard the same rumor, and was going to post about it, but couldn't find any proof or links.
I would go to see a live action movie called crisis on infinite Batman's......
Affleck, Clooney, kilmer, Keaton, bale, Conroy and Mazouz all in one movie.....hmmm.
And now I am sad all over again about Adam West, since you know he would be in this somewhere....
Well Barry didn't stay dead in the comics either even though he was gone for more than twenty years. I've been
thinking it is possible the second half of The Flash's season could be a Barry Allen Rebirth arc.
I would say if the character is dead for 20+ years it’s a proper death. Barry and Jason I would say we’re proper deaths.
Jason's return added to the mythos. Barry's return destroyed it.
And Hal?
If this is true I'll never forgive them!!
I've been thinking it over... I've said before that I doubt they'll merge the Earths, because it would gain them nothing (they can already cross between shows casually with the extrapolators, and they rarely cross shows over at all except during the December events anymore) and cost them a great deal (the worldbuilding and history of the alien-rich Earth-38 as distinct from Earth-1's history, as well as the diversity of the other parallel Earths and their various doppelgangers, not to mention how completely Tom Cavanaugh's role on the series has come to be defined by parallel realities). But it occurred to me that it might be possible to merge Earths 1 & 38 in a way that gained them something -- if it meant that E-38's aliens became part of E-1's society, and that the people had enough awareness of the change that the combined world's society had to adjust to the alien presence. That could drive some new storytelling on Supergirl and The Flash, though it's hard to see it working on Batwoman and it'd largely be a distraction from Legends' craziness. So there is something, potentially, that could be gained.
I still don't think they'll actually do it; there are too many reasons not to eliminate the distinct worlds, particularly in midseason with ongoing story arcs still in play. I'm merely revising my earlier assertion that merging the worlds would gain them nothing. It could potentially gain them at least one thing, but I still don't think it outweighs the reasons not to do it.
