10 Things To Expect From The Arrowverse’s Crisis On Infinite Earths

"Elseworlds" blew us away with its myriad cameos, easter eggs, awesome action and lots of hilarity - and then it tipped us over the edge with the surprise announcement that followed the third and final part of the event. Next year's Arrowverse crossover will be an adaptation of "Crisis on Infinite Earths", possibly the most seminal comic book event in DC comics history. This is basically Avengers: Endgame for the Arrowverse, people. It's a big deal.

Actual Smallville Crossover

What’s always been awesome about the Arrowverse’s concept of the multiverse is that fans can imagine other DC TV shows occupying other Earths out there. This was made explicit in “Elseworlds,” as John Wesley Shipp got to play Barry Allen once again, reprising the role he originally held in 1990’s The Flash TV series.

To top that, “Crisis” will have to bring on board some cast members from an even more beloved DC show. The most obvious answer? Smallville. Again, “Elseworlds” paved the way for this by featuring the series’ theme and reusing locations, but next time, we’d like to make it official.

Many Smallvillle stars have shown up in the Arrowverse before, so they could presumably be coaxed back. For instance, Laura Vandervoort could reprise her role as Supergirl or Erica Durance could show up as Lois Lane. And it seems that John Glover is definitely interested in returning as Lionel Luthor in the crossover, going by this tweet he sent out:

The big one, though, is getting Tom Welling back. The actor’s suggested that he’d like to distance himself from Clark Kent in the past. But, then again, he’s pals with Stephen Amell these days, so who knows?
