Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

So is Starlabs finally finished?

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

God dammt!!! :lol: note to self...stay off facebook. People post clips and screencaps spoiling shit right in your newsfeed so no chance to not see it.

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

I was very happy to see that Earth-96(78) Returned.

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

That end was so great.

The Justice Keague

Yes it was

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

That part near the end showing different Earths confused me, and I'm not familiar with the comic book Crisis storyline. So is there a new multiverse with multiple Earths, but all our CW heroes are now from the same Earth? Or is there just one universe and one Earth now?

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

I have to look again but it was confusing.
Wasnt it the Spector giving a history of the multiVerse and then saying that it’s all one Earth now, Earth Prime?

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

So which earth is the movie verse in now? Was that 2011’s green lantern?

It said Earth-12 so who knows.

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

From EW:

“We knew from last year, quite frankly, that we were going to merge and create Earth-CW basically, but Earth-Prime sounds better,” crossover executive producer Marc Guggenheim told reporters at a screening in December. “Even though in the comics, Earth-Prime is our Earth, I just personally like the sound of Earth-Prime. So all of the CW [superhero] shows will be on the same Earth.”

In fact, the Arrowverse starts embracing the possibilities of Earth-Prime in tonight’s episode. At the end of Legends , White Canary, the Flash, Supergirl, Superman, Martian Manhunter, and Black Lightning convened at the old S.T.A.R. Labs hangar/Hall of Justice from “Invasion,” which has been transformed into a superhero hangout spot with a JLA-style conference table in case they ever need to team-up again. (Oh and Gleek, the Wonder Twins’ pet alien monkey from the Super-Friends show, is also on the loose in the building, as revealed by a shot of an empty cage with his name on it.)

And Earth-Prime isn’t the only change. The original Crisis on Infinite Earths comic, which the crossover is based on, destroyed the multiverse, leaving only one Earth in existence, but the Arrowverse didn’t follow that example. In the TV crossover, the multiverse was reborn following the Dawn of Time battle, and the Legends episode revealed what those news Earths are:

Earth-2: Home of Stargirl, the forthcoming superhero show that will air on both DC Universe and the CW. Executive produced by Greg Berlanti and showrunner Geoff Johns, the show stars Brec Bassinger as the titular hero and Luke Wilson as her sidekick in a giant robot suit.

Earth-12: This is where 2011’s Green Lantern movie, which crossover executive producers Marc Guggenheim and Greg Berlanti co-wrote, is now set. What a retcon!

Earth-19: Home of the shortlived Swamp Thing series on DC Universe.

Earth-9: Home of DC Universe’s Titans, which was renewed for a third season last year.

Earth-21: Home of DC Universe’s Doom Patrol. Placing Doom Patrol on a separate Earth from Titans helps explain the discrepancies between the show and the “Doom Patrol” episode in Titans season 1.

Earth-96: Brandon Routh’s Man of Steel from Superman Return lives!

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

I really enjoyed the Ezra Miller cameo, but other than that I thought the whole two hours was kind of a mess. And how did they decide which heroes were good enough to get a seat at the table...poor Ray?

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

The Hall of Justice, Gleek? rotfl And the Superfriends theme...that was a great, yet goofy ending. You could tell that hour 2 was a heavy Legends influenced episode. It had a much goofier and whimsical tone. Especially with Beebo making his triumphant return.

:lol: at Rory calling Black Lightning "Sparkles"

That sucked Oliver died yet again, but this time as Spectre,

:thumbsup: Fucking loved the Ezra Miller cameo. Did not expect that at all. His interactions with Gustin were gold.

I am glad they left some earths untouched. It does still make things a little confusing though. But, why fucking Swamp Thing's earth and the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern earth? :lol: It was cool that Routh's version of Superman is still alive.

It was also nice that the reset brought John and Lyla's daughter Sarah back who disappeared after Flashpoint.

So apparently next week's episode of Arrow is the backdoor Pilot with Kat McNamara, Katie Cassidy and Juliana Harkavy.

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

I guess they kinda had to put this new Stargirl on a different Earth, since Arrowverse already had a Stargirl back whenever the Justice Society was operating.

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

Damn it, that was so much fun. Yeah, limited budget compared to something like Endgame, but gosh, I loved almost every minute of it. And that ending... perfection!

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

Hopefully that cameo was the shot the Ezra Miller Flash film needed.

Agreed

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

So which earth is the MOVIEVERSE

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

The cameos were good, but otherwise this crossover was mostly terrible. If I would've had to wait a month to complete it, I'd have just dropped it... so I suppose it's a good thing I waited.
