Not only is “Crisis” the biggest Arrowverse crossover, but also the most impactful for the future of the Arrowverse as a whole.
The cameo still feels surreal, but it just goes to show how much love was put into “Crisis.” Unfortunately, I had this spoiled for me before I saw the episode, but that didn’t stop me from freaking when I saw the two interact. Having the Arrowverse and DCEU crossover has been a dream of fans for years, so it’s safe to say that Miller’s cameo broke the internet. The inclusion of the DCEU’s very own Scarlet Speedster just goes to show how dedicated the crossover writers are to the overall DC fanbase. Of course the cameo everyone wants to talk about, though, is the completely out-of-nowhere appearance of Ezra Miller’s Flash. I really appreciated Conroy’s darker portrayal of the dark knight, and as a long time fan of his career as Batman through voice acting, there was something fulfilling about seeing the character brought to live action with a fresh and unique characterization.
#Crisis on infinite earths black lightning series
Kevin Conroy, iconic voice actor of Batman in The Animated Series and the Arkham games, finally gets to portray Bruce Wayne in live action. We saw Brandon Routh don the cape once more as the Clark Kent of the Superman Returns universe, which was just genuinely so nostalgic and cheesy in a good way. Other characters played bigger roles in the event. Burt Ward from Batman ’66 appears, and we get a look at both Gotham from the Burton films and Oa from Green Lantern. Others are instantaneous, such as the appearances of characters from DC Universe shows Titans, Doom Patrol, Stargirl, and Swamp Thing. Some have small roles, such as Tom Welling as a retired Smallville Superman, or Huntress from the Birds of Prey show being killed in an anti-matter wave. As the character who started the universe, I think there was no better send-off.Ĭrisis also does a good job of establishing the idea of “infinite earths.” The crossover event is almost like a love letter to the past of DC media, with all kinds of cameos scattered throughout.
Twice, Oliver gives his own life for others, and goes down as a hero. Oliver dies in part 1, then comes back as the Spectre and makes the ultimate sacrifice in part 4, rebirthing the earths the Anti-Monitor obliterated.
I really liked that the crossover made Oliver the key character, as this is Arrow’s final season. We have been following this universe since 2012, with the first season of Arrow. People are going to compare “Crisis” to Endgame, and I can safely say that just like Endgame, “Crisis on Infinite Earths” is the payoff of years of build-up. I think it’s great that the CW didn’t mess with the general story of the Crisis comic, other than of course swapping out the heroes from the comic with its own existing characters. Marv Wolfman, writer of the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic, even has a brief appearance in part 5. The quantum tower, Pariah and Harbinger, shadow demons, and the creation of the multiverse were all adapted better than I was expecting, and in a way that was very respectful to the source material. Getting started, there were a lot of plot decisions made for “Crisis” that follow the original story in the comics, which surprised me. Just be warned that there will be spoilers in this review. There’s a lot to unpack over the span of the five-episode event, and a lot of implications for DCTV going forward. The Crisis has been averted, and now it’s time to look at the Arrowverse’s largest crossover yet.
