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

Other DC TV (And Movie) Crossovers

But why stop with a crossover with just one other DC TV show? The event’s called “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” isn’t it? With that in mind, throw in as many crossovers as possible!

Ones that are probably doable include getting Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher back for a Lois & Clark reunion. Or, maybe Lynda Carter could play an older Wonder Woman from her 1970s series. And, seeing as it’s just ended, maybe some sort of Gotham crossover. Or perhaps a Titans one, considering Greg Berlanti’s involved with the DC Universe, too.

Why stop with the small screen, though? Perhaps some crossovers with DC movies could be possible as well? For instance, have Helen Slater play a Supergirl based on the character she played in the 1984 film, thereby bringing the Christopher Reeve movies into the Arrowverse’s continuity. Or, how about having Brandon Routh reprise his Kal-El from Superman Returns?

The potential is genuinely limitless, so let’s hope the producers embrace that to the best of their abilities.

Green Arrow’s Sacrifice

Coming out of “Elseworlds,” there’s one thing above all others that we’re certain will happen in “Crisis”: Oliver Queen is going to sacrifice his life to save his friends.

In the third part of the crossover, it was written in The Book of Destiny that the Flash and Supergirl would die trying to stop Dr. Deegan. However, Green Arrow made a deal off-screen with The Monitor to spare their lives. Mar Novu promised Ollie that there would be a price to pay and, in the episode’s final scene, he talked about embracing life while you still can. It sounds a lot like he swapped his own fate to save Barry and Kara.

This would make a lot of sense for many reasons. Firstly, it’s a smart inversion of what happens in the comics, in which Flash and Supergirl do perish. Not only that, but Oliver is the original hero of the franchise and it would make “Crisis” hugely powerful and feel like the true end of an era if the Emerald Archer was to fire his last arrow.

As for what this would mean for Arrow, well, it’s possible that it could end for good – this would explain why “Crisis” could be airing earlier in the fall, as it may make room for Batwoman in the schedule. Alternatively, the show could learn to go on without Oliver, with a different character donning the hood to continue his legacy.

Right now, everything’s still up in the air, but what we know for sure is that we can’t wait for “Crisis on Infinite Earths” to arrive.
