CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Almost Featured Constantine and Swamp Thing Team Up

DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event was packed full of surprises, fun cameos, and exciting team-ups. It was a blast to watch and it almost featured another cool team-up that fans would have loved to see!

Showrunner Marc Guggenheim recently revealed during an interview on Fake Nerd Podcast that he wanted Swamp Thing to team up with John Constantine in the crossover! He said:

"I did want Swamp Thing to be a big part of the crossover, because - if you've got Constantine - to not have Constantine and Swamp Thing together is a missed opportunity. I'll just say that, for a variety of different reasons, I couldn't make that happen."

It’s a shame that team-up couldn’t happen. Something like this would have been glorious. The Swamp Thing series on DC Universe is one of the best things they produced and then they cancelled it, which is ridiculous. I don’t know what the future holds for the character, but hopefully, we see Swamp Thing again one day.

I imagine one of the reasons why WB didn’t want to include Swamp Thing in Crises on Infinite Earths is because they didn’t want to get fans excited about the return of the character. What do you think?
