The New Arrowverse Crossover Event, CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, Teased in Promo Spot
The latest Arrowverse crossover event “Elseworlds” came to a close last night, and it was quite a fun adventure! I thought the creative team did a great job with it.
The crossover came to an end with a tease of what is to come next, and like a lot of DC fans expected, the next big Arrowverse crossover will be an adaptation of the popular comic book event series Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Here’s the promo that teases what is to come:
In the “Elseworlds” crossover, there was a character named The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett), who warns Arrow (Stephen Amell), The Flash (Grant Gustin) and Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) about an impending crisis.
For those of you not familiar with the Crisis on Infinite Earths story arc, it was a 12-issue series written by Marv Wolfman that ran from April 1985 to March 1986. This is the official description of the story:
Trapped in a timeless limbo, Barry Allen, the Flash, can only watch in silent and helpless horror as, one by one, countless universes fade from existence in order to feed the insatiable need for power of the Anti-Monitor, a being from the anti-matter universe of Qward. Under the guidance of the Monitor, his benevolent opposite, the super-heroes and villains of all realities are brought together for a last, desperate stand against the forces that promise the literal end of all existence.
“Elseworlds” certainly set the stage for Crisis on Infinite Earths, and it will be coming in 2019.
Are you excited that we’ll see the story for Crisis on Infinite Earths play out in the Arrowverse next year? How do you think they’ll change it up to fit the TV DC universe?
