CW Crisis on Infinite Earths (SPOILERS)

[knight errant00]

Routh looked imposing and powerful indeed.

And without leather and buckles and excessive seams and texturing -- just goes to show what the right actor in a simple but well-executed suit can become on screen.

I loved the Lucifer crossover (and the Watchmen posters) Earth-666

For those who are curious this takes places before Lucifer s1. Now I want to see another crossover with Lucifer & Constantine!

One problem I have is with Earth-203 Birds Of Prey

I always thought BOP was a spin-off from the 89 Batman Universe since they used the same costumes for Batman & Catwoman.

[kept back]

yeah I am kind of surprised he's leaving a sure thing gig.

He's not leaving of his own volition. He was informed at the start of filming for this season that Ray Palmer was being written out of Legends. Leaving only Mick and Sara from the original lineup.

But, don't worry! Gary and Mona will still be around.

I always thought BOP was a spin-off from the 89 Batman Universe since they used the same costumes for Batman & Catwoman.

I always thought that too, so maybe BOP followed a parallel Batman '89 to a point, then their Earth diverged. I had always counted it as a sort of bridge with the Burton films *and* the animated series, since Mark Hamill voiced the Joker in a flashback in the first episode.

I have to go back to look at the Watchmen posters on Earth-666. Would this bring in the film?

i did not catch the Watchmen posters. i'll have to rewatch too

Here's a write up with speculation. Certainly fun to go through all of these.

[hedrap]

There's something coming with HBO+, but they're being reserved about announcing anything.

I think the Watchmen and Crisis successes moved a Kingdom Come series onto the slate, and that's going to be the relaunch of the JL brand. But they're probably fighting over who gets to produce it. Right now WB has Berlanti, Lindelof and Hamada/Wan all with a piece of DC and that's before Abrams jumps in.

Whichever way they choose is going to gut one of the other divisions of its DC properties. I think we're going to see some kind of DC-CW merger on one side which will be the teen soap opera demo, and the other side will be HBO+ with Vertigo/Elseworlds. Except, Joker was a massive hit and could have easily been slated for HBO and not theatrical, but without that release WB theatrical would have been a massive bomb this year.

WB is in a weird spot. They could easily devalue DC even more without some kind of unified approach. It doesn't have to be an MCU whole narrative idea, but something that has defined boundaries. Routh, Welling and Cavill really sum the mess up. Three guys who people want to see but no one can decide how.

^I would be down for an Superman vehicle they would give Routh. Be it TV series, streaming series, or movie on any platform.

^^ I've been thinking since the second installment of Crisis they need to do a Superman TV movie with Routh. Or better yet, treat it like those Perry Mason movies from the 80s and 90s and give use maybe two or so every TV season.

and they are jamming Ryan Choi into the Atom suit.

The Earth 666 the Watchmen are just a billboard in the corner:

I also want to see Constantine show up in the last season of Lucifer! At this rate John Constantine is the one character who could show up on any DCTV

[Nostalgiabuff]

was there an Asian guy in the comics that became atom? or is this another example of CW ramming diversity down our throats?

[monitor_ep]

Ryan Choi is the second Atom in the comics.

[Nostalgiabuff]

well at least his suit looks more like the comic version. Ray's Atom suit was too much like Iron Man

I got in the Crisis Comic book and it does help fill in some missing characters. Some just could not rearrange there schedules to film parts in the event so they decided to release a two issue Wal-Mart 100 page giant comic book.

Pt 1 Crisis On Infinite Earths Pt 1: Felicity Smoak
The Anti=Monitor's ruthless scheme of destruction can only be stopped by a brave team of heroes led by Mar Novu, a.k.a. the Monitor! But when Felicity Smoak (Earth 1), The Ray (Earth X), The Flash (Earth 1), Kid Flash (Earth 1), Batwoman (Earth 1). Atom (Earth 1), White Canary (Earth 1) & Nyssa al Ghul (Earth 1) fail to locate the keys to Anti-Monitor's plan, they're met with more disappointment and death.

They travel to several Earths that fill in on other guest stars that could not make it to the filming and would have been hard to incorporate into the live-action series.

Pt 2 Council of Luthors
Only one man is capable of devising a plan to stop the Anti-Monitor...Lex Luther (Earth 38)! Can a Council of Luthors work together long enough to save the Multiverse, or will they need help from the most inconceivable of allies...Superman Squad
