re: CW Crisis on Infinite Earths (ongoing thread)

So what did Ezra Miller's cameo mean. He seemed shocked by the name Flash does that mean that this Crisis happened before the events in the DCEU films? Does his fading mean the DCEU does not exist, and this is setting the stage for a major film reboot?

It didn't go quite as far as I wanted it to, but it does seem to have major ramifications not just on the DCTV multiverse but the entire DC Omniverse.

It’s intentionally vague to keep options open. I doubt we ever hear another peep from that in the CW Flash or Arrowverse shows. I do think it’s possible we get something in The Flash movie in a couple years though, being as it is based on Flashpoint. It will presumably explore the multiverse and provide a soft reboot of the DCEU (such as with Pattinson instead of Affleck as Batman, etc.)

The name surprised him because as far as I recall he’s never coined that term or been called it by anyone else, Justice League or otherwise. However, he may have just gotten it here in a scene that could literally appear just the same in the movie if they wanted to.

I appreciated the throwback but to me that was the final straw. I think I'm out on the CW DC shows, the Gleek reference really underscored for me what much of Crisis proved: just how far this has all strayed from "you have failed this city".

The writing has become more and more sophomoric as the seasons have progressed and new shows and joined the group and the action sequences far more often than not contain far too many unnecessary actions (like a bad kung-fu movie where everyone just stands around and feints while the hero squares off one-on-one). I mean... how many fricking times did Oliver have to die during this event?

I have been able to let it go for a while but I think I've finally just reached my limit.

They didn't show it as one of the reborn universes either.

Doesn't mean it's not there.

Smallville was never a traditional superhero series and it deserved a happy ending like that.

Alan Moore did something similar to end the run of the Silver/Bronze Age Superman. He sacrifices his powers for the cause and lives a happy life with Lois.

Nice.

Would have been really funny if they could have somehow gotten Lucifer and Smallville Clark together.

I just realized that Jennifer Pierce's friend Brandon is a reimagined version of Brion Markov (Geo-Force, Terra's brother).

It's been 7 days... but I finally watched the last one today. I haven't watched a single CW show since last years crossover. I watched every single episode of all the shows up to that point (more or less life got in the way of TV).

Man, that was a good compromise for the Crisis storyline - I also feel like they left just enough of a door open to have Oliver back every so often if they REALLY wanted to

.... dammit

Im super late in finishing Crisis. But man, is it me or did they kind of bite off of the MCU and Endgame. The one guy who basically started it all, has to himself in the giant culmination crossover event against the big bad.

Diggle has a son and daughter now, that's a nice touch.

It was a nice touch to show all the other earths.

For years there were fan theories that Diggle would become a green lantern. Although that's not the case. It was cool to show their existence. I would lovr to see a Lantorn Corp tv show come to life.

Even though I hated him in Justice League. I was extremely happy to see Ezra Miller make a cameo. I havr no idea what it means. My best guess is that the DCEU earth was destroyed, but Ezra survives due to being in speedforce? Spectre restarting universe may be how Pattinson is now Batman instead of Affleck.
Probably not, that cameo was likely nothing more than a cool easter egg.

I am loving the CW justice league, could be interesting to see where that goes.

There were certainly holes in the crisis, Nd different things to be critiqued. But man I gotta tip my hats to the creators, they swung for the fences with this one.
