The CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths was the Arrowverse's sixth crossover event and aired across five parts from December 2019 - January 2020.
The story played out across episodes of Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow, and featured plenty of fan-pleasing cameos. Those included Kevin Conroy as a live-action Batman, Brandon Routh's return as Superman, and Ezra Miller as The Flash (simpler times).
While it was made on a TV budget, Crisis on Infinite Earths received plenty of praise and delivered a much stronger take on the classic comic book story than this year's poorly-received animated movies.
Talking on his personal blog, Arrowverse architect Marc Guggenheim reflected on the event and confirmed there were once plans for the five-part story to receive a theatrical release.

It is well known how liberating the animated medium is when it comes to adapting comic-book-oriented storylines, as proven by a significant number of DC’s animated ventures. For an incredibly important story like Crisis on Infinite Earths, an animated adaptation was necessary to translate the scope of the series for a wider audience. Having the adaptation divided into three parts was a good creative decision as well, as with a vast area to cover, dividing the story into segments helps to focus on distinct portions without making things too confusing for the audience. The first part of the Crisis on Infinite Earths movie trilogy was released earlier this year, and the emotional anchor of the story through Barry Allen’s, aka Prime Earth’s Flash’s, life contributed an interesting, comics accurate angle to the adaptation. However, with the recently released second part, it seems the makers have dropped the ball big time,...

Time and tide wait for none, even if you are an extremely overpowered speedster with the ability to transcend the barriers of different dimensions and universes. As DC’s present animated cinematic universe, dubbed Tomorrowverse, reaches the end of its journey with the adaptation of one of comics’ most important series, Crisis on Infinite Earths, in trilogy form, the first part focuses on the scarlet speedster Barry Allen, aka Flash, and his seminal role in the overarching narrative. In a sense, it’s a befitting conclusion (not even mentioning the key role Flash played in all the DC “Crisis”) given that Barry was the only surviving member of the previous cinematic universe Dcamu and also the one who introduced viewers to Tomorrowverse, acting as a link to tie in different iterations of characters, universes, and realities.

As Christopher Nolan's Manhattan Project study "Oppenheimer" takes over the box office this weekend, news is out that Doctor Manhattan is coming back to the big screen. Following a screening of "Justice League: Warworld" at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, DC Studios announced the first-ever animated adaptation of the beloved "Watchmen" comics is finally readying for release.
News that an animated "Watchmen" movie was in the works at Warner Bros. came out way back in 2017, but there have been little to no updates since. DC unveiling a new logo for not only this project but an animated "Crisis on Infinite Earths" movie as well came as a welcome surprise to Sdcc attendees.

In a moment of emotional crisis, Alison (West Duchovny) blurts out the suspicion that’s been weighing on her to a stranger in the bathroom: “Am I generic?” she sobs. And though the stranger assures her that she’s not, Saint X takes a more nuanced view.
In premise, the series would seem to be a fairly standard take on the dead-white-girl narrative, with Alison’s eventual unexplained death serving as the mystery at the heart of the plot. But as with the 2020 Alexis Schaitkin novel it’s based on, it upends those tropes by offering a kaleidoscope of perspectives that reconsider what kind of stories we expect from tragedies like these, and who gets to be at their center — or it aims to, anyway. Unfortunately, an accumulation of minor fumbles leaves what could’ve been an incisive subversion of a familiar story feeling, instead, more like a replication of it.

Sundance film festival: thoroughbreds and Bad Education director Cory Finley makes an ambitious misstep with a jumbled comedy about controlling aliens
It’s become a depressingly familiar rite of passage for a director of vim and promise to stumble when they ambitiously decide to adapt a book that should have probably stayed on the shelf. Back in 2018, Blue Ruin and Green Room director Jeremy Saulnier came a cropper when he tried to wrangle William Giraldi’s unwieldy Hold the Dark to the screen. At Sundance in 2020, Dee Rees followed Pariah and Mudbound with a clunky, critically loathed attempt to turn Joan Didion’s The Last Thing He Wanted into a coherent film. And just last year Andrew Dominik and Noah Baumbach made their worst films to date with Blonde and White Noise respectively.

So here we are, the rather arbitrarily chosen issue number seven, the final part of the mini-series we were told would shatter everything we knew about previously shattered universes and multiverses. Overall it’s been consistently decent, but has lacked that certain something to make it essential. It seems at times Williamson is trying his hardest to make all this grand and important, but yet not quite having enough puff to get to the top of that hill. Still, they say endings are the hardest part of any story, so let’s see if a home run can still be scored.
We start with a theme that Williamson has been threading through the entire series, the co-existence of the big and small at the same time. While a battle rages in the real world between the Darkness-possessed Slade Wilson and his Dark Army,...

We are now approaching the endgame, and the stakes are as high as they will be. The entire Multiverse is at stake, and we are now in very familiar Crisis territory. The cover is superb, really evoking those mid-80s days when worlds would die, and George Perez would show you how. Although this series overall has been a solid read, I do feel as though it has lacked set pieces, lacked actual story beats around which to hang the character bits and the fight scenes. At times we have just gone from fight scene to fight scene. I’m hoping Williamson’s been storing up the best stuff.
Let’s take a look.

The Multiverse is, it seems, dying.
DC seem to be ripping up all of the Dan Didio restructuring of the DC Multiverse and returning things to closer to how they were pre-New 52, pre- Final Crisis, Pre- every Crisis. Joshua Williamson was no doubt given a blueprint as what DC Editorial wanted gone, and what they wanted changed, but how he achieved all that was probably mainly up to him and editor Paul Kaminski. So far, it’s been a wild ride. The tone, structure, and heart of all this has been absolutely spot on. It’s almost a shame we are already at issue 5, as we are now clearly approaching the endgame, and we know that this being DC, something big has yet to happen, and when it does it’ll be huge.
Don’t blow it Williamson.

And there you have it.
DC had been pushing this event more than most, promising that it would be of huge significance going forward. Well, we’ve heard that quite a few times of late, so it’s fair to say that the majority of fandom was unimpressed. Three issues in, we were all thinking this is decent, entertaining stuff, but not really more than that. Then issue four comes out and three words on the cover change everything.
‘..on Infinite Earths’.
This, we are now told, is the direct sequel to the iconic Crisis. The other Crisis-this and Crisis-that books that sold millions were but detours along the way it seems. Everything we have seen so far now takes on a different light. Maybe there won’t be a return to the expected status quo after all this after all.

The best way to describe this book is the comic book equivalent of a summer popcorn action movie. Doesn’t lend itself to a whole lot of navel gazing analysis, but there are a lot of explosions, action and fisticuffs going on virtually the whole time. It certainly keeps your attention. Joshua Williamson has also cleverly threaded the ties to the previous Crisis books gradually and subtly, keeping things moving nicely while also promising big things to come down the road. I can’t lie, I’ve been enjoying it so far, though I’ve got the inescapable feeling that we’ve seen nothing yet.

When DC Comics fans hear the word “crisis,” certain things spring to mind: crowded panels featuring luminaries from every corner of the DC multiverse, universe-shattering stakes, dramatic character deaths, and sometimes big changes for DC’s storytelling continuity itself. Several big events bearing the “Crisis” moniker have altered the history of the DC Universe. But Dark Crisis writer Joshua Williamson wants to assure everyone that things are a little different this time around.

I enjoyed the first issue of this book but did say in my review of that one that it was very much the introduction issue, so story took second place to establishing all the pieces on the board. It was still a great read of course, but it was more about the spectacle than the story. Issue 2’s are the real money books, where we get to see if there is substance to go with the style. This being Josh Williamson, I’m betting it will be a firm yes, but as always, the proof is in the pudding.
Let’s take a look.
That Pariah’s a naughty boy, isn’t he? I actually used to like him when he first appeared, he had a Shakespearean tragic hero quality about him when he inadvertently triggered the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Will there ever come a time when DC will retire the ‘Crisis’ label for whatever universe-shattering, er, crisis is just around the corner? I doubt it. I guess it’s the comic book equivalent of a movie franchise in some ways. Let’s be honest, the word ‘Crisis’ in a DC book still gets instant buzz, both in the comics press and in fandom in general. I’m pretty cynical overall, yet I’m still the first in line. I say all this as someone who has the original Crisis on Infinite Earths in all sorts of formats. I suppose that as long as the actual product is still good quality, the book still tells a strong story that has a point, then we will be happily throwing our money at it.
So, DC, show us what you’ve got this time.

Helping Crisis on Infinite Earths live up to its promise of being ‘the biggest Arrowverse event yet’, UK broadcasters have cleverly waited until there’s an actual crisis on Earth to air it. Talk about a crossover.
After going out in the Us late last year, the five-part special is finally arriving in the UK, but with a catch. Though E4 has picked up the rights to Batwoman and will start airing the show from Sunday March 29th at 9pm, E4 has confirmed to Den of Geek that episodes will air weekly and not land as a box-set. That means ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Two’ (aka Batwoman episode nine) won’t arrive in the UK until May.
The other four parts though, will air sequentially next week on Sky One and Now TV, starting with Supergirl’s part one on Monday March 30th, followed by The Flash’s part three on Tuesday March 31st,...

"In a perfect world, we make perfect choices. In the real world, we make real choices." Netflix has debuted an official trailer for the highly anticipated film by acclaimed filmmaker Dee Rees, director of Mudbound and Pariah previously. This is premiering at the Sundance Film Festival before being released by Netflix. The Last Thing He Wanted is an adaptation of Joan Didion's novel about an intrepid journalist named Elena McMahon. Anne Hathaway stars as Elena, a veteran Washington D.C. journalist who loses the thread of her own narrative when a guilt-propelled errand for her father thrusts her from byline to subject in the very story she is trying to break. Also starring Ben Affleck, Willem Dafoe, Rosie Perez, Toby Jones, Mel Rodriguez, Edi Gathegi, Carlos Leal, Laura Niemi, and Onata Aprile. This looks like a riveting thriller, another great ode to journalism and the willpower of those who...

After a decent enough start, the Arrowverse‘s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover came to a truly super close on Tuesday night, with a most heroic sacrifice followed by a second team-up event that eventually led to arguably the coolest DC nod one could hope for.
In the opening hour, Spectre fka Oliver Queen visited the long- and frustratingly stranded Paragons at the Vanishing Point. After somewhat explaining what he has become, Spectre “unlocked” Barry’s potential so that he could again access the Speed Force to, among other things, whisk Kara, Ryan and Lex to Mar Navu’s planet Maltus,...

The Crisis on Infinite Earths indeed proved inevitable (as a certain comic book character might put it) when the Anti-Monitor’s anti-matter wave laid waste to the Arrowverse‘s last Earth standing. And yet just before Earth-One got 86’d, Pariah transported the seven Paragons to a hiding place, the Vanishing Point, where they (hopefully) have been plotting a fix for the universe’s eradication.
But for how long have the Paragons been on their own, when Part 4 arrives (Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW)? And what sort of final showdown can we expect, in the special Legends of Tomorrow episode...

Exclusive: The screenplay for Honey Boy wasn’t originally written for a movie screen. When Shia Labeouf was ordered by a judge to write about the childhood trauma that seeded a fiery transition to adulthood punctuated by angry outbursts, car crashes and curious creative choices that transformed him from golden boy to pariah, the actor wasn’t comfortable simply writing a paper. He had been reading and acting from scripts since childhood, and the court-appointed counselors assigned Labeouf the task of writing as a way to get to the bottom of his pain after he was diagnosed with Ptsd. His decision to bare his pain in the screenplay format he was so familiar with, and to share it with his friend the documentary filmmaker Alma Har’el, turned out to be a life-changing experience.

“Crisis on Infinite Earths” is coming this winter, with the heroes of the Arrowverse uniting alongside various faces from other DC franchises in order to save the multiverse. But what’s caused this threat to all existence? As per the original comic book event, it’s all to do with the conflict between the Monitor, the cosmic being tasked with bringing balance to the universe, and his evil twin the Anti-Monitor, set on destroying it.
Lamonica Garrett has already played the Monitor throughout the Arrowverse over the past year, but he’ll be on double duty in “Crisis” as the Anti-Monitor, too. Due to the duo’s rivalry, he may even have to face off against himself. In fact, the actor has just teased this cosmic clash on his Twitter account, with a hilarious Bts image from filming on the crossover.

Shooting on “Crisis on Infinite Earths” has been going on for the past month now, and in that time we’ve got a lot of glimpses of the awesome hero team-ups that are to come in the Arrowverse’s big crossover yet. Including various Superman uniting, Team Arrow both present and future coming together and, of course, old super-friends Green Arrow and the Flash. But we haven’t seen much of the enemy that all these vigilantes are teaming up to fight: the Anti-Monitor.
Here’s a new set photo, though, which sees Lamonica Garrett in full costume as his fearsome cosmic character. We’ve previously got an official poster for the villain, which revealed his creepy pale, desiccated face, and here’s the proof that he looks just as sinister in person.

Harrison Wells returns to The Flash looking for Eternium, which may confirm Shazam in the Arrowverse.
Holy moley, did The Flash season 6 episode 3, "Dead Man Running" just confirm the presence of Shazam in the Arrowverse? The short answer is...maybe. But there's a longer answer.
We finally meet this season's version of Harrison Wells in "Dead Man Running." In this case, he's "Nash" Wells, an interdimensional Indiana Jones, gathering artifacts from across the multiverse. And he's searching for an article that contains particles of "Eternium" which Wells describes as "a multiversal element."
The only mention of "Eternium" in DC Comics lore comes from a 1998 issue of Legion of Super-Heroes. That story, which focused on bringing the future Shazam character Thunder into the orbit of the Legion, opens with the destruction of the Rock of Eternity, home of Shazam, the Wizard, and the source of all magic in the DC Universe.

The Flash Season 6 Episode 3
Remember how last week I said that I was worried that The Flash went straight from zero to mustache twirling villain too quickly with Dr. Ramsey Rosso? I might have been wrong. “Dead Man Running” puts in a lot of work to make Rosso’s journey more engaging and believable, and it does it in the course of an episode that covers a lot of ground in other areas, too. Not to spoil the rest of my review ahead of time, but The Flash season 6 is three-for-three right now, and I’m starting to feel pretty confident about where things are headed.
For the third week in a row, I’m compelled to talk about the overall tonal balance of this season so far.

As I’ve said on numerous occasions, one thing in particular that I’m already liking about “Crisis on Infinite Earths” is that it’s incorporating actors from various DC TV shows from the past so that we truly get that “Infinite Earths” feel. Despite a denial from Tom Ellis saying Lucifer Morningstar won’t show up, I won’t be convinced of his absence until I actually see the crossover for myself. But on the plus side, there is confirmation on Batman ’66’s Burt Ward and Birds of Prey‘s Ashley Scott putting in appearances.
Speaking of Ashley Scott, it turns out that she’s finally reported for duty. Thanks to Canadagraphs, we now know that she’s filmed for The Flash‘s part of the crossover at the very least. For those keeping track, that’ll be the third chapter to air in the saga, which’ll also...

As a huge fan of the Arrowverse myself, all I can say when it comes to the seemingly routine reveals regarding “Crisis on Infinite Earths” is “keep ’em coming.” Really, this baby is shaping up to be something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime, as it sure as hell couldn’t be done on the motion picture side of things for a variety of reasons.
Before we proceed any further, I figured I’d at least bring you up to speed on the latest news pertaining to the crossover.

The third one though sees Tom Cavanagh suit up as Pariah, his latest character who’ll play a major role in the crossover event.
The poster, which comes to us via KSiteTV, reveals the Flash actor’s costume for “Crisis.” Fans who know the original comic book will recognize that this outfit’s very faithful to the character from the source material and so far, it looks great.

“Crisis On Infinite Earths” is shaping up to be the biggest crossover event The CW’s Arrowverse has ever seen. Adapted from the classic 1985 comic series, it’ll feature versions of heroes from various alternate universes joining forces to stop the Anti-Monitor.
We have Tyler Hoechlin and Brandon Routh playing different Supermen (the latter portraying the Man of Steel from the Kingdom Come timeline), Batman ’66 alum Burt Ward showing up and Smallville’s Tom Welling joining the party, too. Perhaps most exciting though is that after 27 years of voicing Batman, Kevin Conroy will finally be playing the Dark Knight in live-action.
But for Arrowverse aficionados, one of the more interesting aspects will be seeing Tom Cavanagh as Pariah, and here’s our first look at him in full costume:

One reason why I think Tom Cavanagh has remained on The Flash for so long is that it truly allows him to explore what he can do as an actor. After first debuting as a Harrison Wells impostor in the form of Eobard Thawne Aka the Reverse-Flash, Cavanagh has gone on to portray a variety of Wells from alternate universes, namely Earth-2’s Harry, Earth-19’s H.R. and Earth-221’s Sherloque.
Now, if you tuned in for last night’s season premiere, “Into the Void,” then you may have noticed how Cavanagh is still credited as being a series regular, though he didn’t actually appear in said episode. Then again, various iterations of Wells don’t often show up in premieres to begin with, but it sounds like we’ll meet the next in line before long.

The stakes are higher than ever before going into The Flash season 6. You know that future newspaper that’s been telling us Barry Allen is destined to vanish some day since the show’s pilot episode? Well, that day is now upon us with “Crisis on Infinite Earths” kicking off this December. But can the Fastest Man Alive avoid his apparently unavoidable fate? That’s what’s weighing our hero down in this epic extended trailer.
As with previous promos, this one teases Barry witnessing the dark future to come which is set to lead to “billions of deaths.” It seems he believes there’s no way to change his destiny, but Iris and the rest of Team Flash are dedicated to finding a way around it and preventing the hero from vanishing in the coming Crisis. And it looks like part of their plan involves Barry traveling into his own past – again!

As a lot of fans already know and John Atkinson of ScreenRant would agree with, a lot of people came to enjoy Lonsdale’s character since he was kind of at odds with several characters at first but did eventually become part of the group.

Well, the fan speculation has paid off. Showrunner Eric Wallace has revealed that Kid Flash is confirmed to return for The Flash season 6. Not only that, but Wallace also teased that Wally West and Barry Allen will be teaming up to take down a real heavy-hitter.
This is a welcome development as, somewhat surprisingly, the speedy pair haven’t actually shared that many adventures together. Speaking at the San Diego Comic-Con though, Wallace announced:
“Let’s bring Wally West back. Why don’t we do it this season… and have Kid Flash and Flash fight one of the greatest Flash villains?”
Exactly who that villain will be remains a mystery for the moment, but the show is set to feature two big bads next season (with one of them set to be Bloodwork). Season 6 has been billed as being split into two parts as well, with each half described by...

Well, it’s mostly been different versions of the same character, Harrison Wells, but he’s also the past and present face of Reverse-Flash, too. And for the upcoming crossover “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” Cavanagh will get yet another new role to play. And this time, they’re a key figure from the comics.
Speaking at The Flash panel at Comic-Con over the weekend, showrunner Eric Wallace revealed that the actor will be playing Pariah in the “Crisis” event, who works for the big villain of the piece, the Anti-Monitor (Lamonica Garrett).

The live-action “Akira,” which has long been kicking at Warner Bros. and from producer Leonardo DiCaprio, is one among the latest 18 projects selected for California’s film and TV tax credit program 2.0.
In all, it’s expected that the 10 non-indies and eight independent projects will generate an estimated $408 million in qualified expenditures in the state. Ten of the films are shooting outside the Los Angeles 30-mile zone, and all 18 projects are combining for 740 shoot days in California.
“Akira,” which is based on the anime film by Katsuhiro Otomo and is set in Tokyo in 2060, alone will generate an estimated $92 million in qualified spending for the state.

TNT’s epic drama series The Last Ship will set sail for its fifth and final season on September 9.
It was announced in May that the fifth season would be the last for the drama series that chronicles the aftermath of a global catastrophe that nearly decimated the world’s population. Eric Dane, Bridget Regan and Adam Baldwin star.

As made evident last week, the Sundance Film Festival can be a significant launching pad for Oscar nominees. This year’s nominations included two films for best picture – “The Kids Are All Right” and “Winter’s Bone” – that debuted at last year’s festival. Sundance also produced a myriad of other nominations, including three of the five best actress nominees and four of the five best documentary contenders.
While 2011 was definitely a standout year for Sundance films, it probably won’t replicate last year’s Oscar record. Despite a huge surge in sales, this year’s Sundance slate looks like it might be the least Oscar-friendly in some time. Nothing screamed “Oscar” like “Precious,” “An Education” and “The Kids Are All Right” have in year’s past. It’s obviously way too soon to know anything (certainly no one would have initially predicted “Winter’s Bone” would do as well as it...
