We’re finally getting a Crisis AND the pantheon of evil mirror villains to boot. I know they’ve played around with the heroes as enemies with mind control and Earth-2 stuff but looks like this is them going all the way woo.

Noticed they snuck Captain Cold on the hero side.


Notably absent heroes: Spartan, Martian Manhunter, Guardian, Steel, Kid Flash

Wild Dog's mask looks like it may have gotten an upgrade.

Speedy absent too, although with Willa is part time now so I wouldn’t read much into that. Supergirl was supposed to have her full team this time too, so weird it’s just her.

Wonder what Earth this Snart is from.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

It's fucking scary to think about super villains that are Nazis..... A Nazi Flash?! Holy Calcified Speed Force! A Nazi Supergirl?!?!!!! Fuck. My. Life.

Like.... What can the Allies even do to counteract those two (besides plot force and character induced stupidity) without having their own versions to counter them?

*shudders*

 

[Poodlestrike]

What exactly is Crisis? Worse than Flashpoint?

Crisis is the... I guess super-name for DC's big events. Crisis on Infinite Earths was the first ever company-wide comics crossover event (thus being the trope namer), and it was followed up by stuff like Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis. I dunno if I'd say "worse," but it generally denotes cosmic threats, extra-universal invasions, stuff like that.

Considering it looks like we're getting a Crime Syndicate to go along with it I'm just about over the moon.

edit: oh man I didn't pick up on the implications of the double lightning bolts and the Multiversity reference with the name. EVEN MORE DOPE.

 

[ZeroX03]

Crisis is a big deal. Hope we get the dead Flash that goes along with it.

Yeah man, there's no Crime Syndicate here, Earth X is where the Nazis won World War 2. The heroes of this Earth are Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters. Morrison took it a step farther during 52, and then Final Crisis, by introducing Overman and Overgirl. The New Reichsmen and the evil Nazi versions of the JLA didn't pop up until Multiversity, but Earth X as a concept dates back to pre-Crisis continuity.

Oh, we're gonna get Oliver tricking Nazi Flash into saving the multiverse.

"Crisis" was the standard crossover name from before CoIE, and from what the producers said about it this is more referencing those old ones:

“We conceived this year’s crossover to be evocative of the annual Justice League/Justice Society crossovers we grew up with and looked forward to as kids,” said Executive Producers Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Yes!

But the real question is, what's the Earth X Harrison Wells's role going to be?

 

[Jason Frost]

But the real question is, what's the Earth X Harrison Wells's role going to be?

Nazi scientist.

 

[Joni]

And how does the good Flash from Earth X factor into this?

 

[tim1138]

And how does the good Flash from Earth X factor into this?

There won't be a good Flash on Earth X

 

[Joni]

There won't be a good Flash on Earth X

But doesn't everyone have a counterpart from the opposite alignment on Earth X? So bad Arrow, bad Supergirl, good Flash?

Hopefully getting shot. There's so much Wells jokes I can take before going crazy.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Literally Hitler

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Literally Hitler

HR Wells
HIER Wells
HITLER Wells

Yup, it checks out.


But anyway, this crossover needs Earth-X Malcolm dropping the line "Springtime for Hitler"

Tom Welling willing to appear on The Flash!

Guys..... Guys and gals..... I think it's time. He needs to show up as either Max Mercury and schools Barry on the Speed Force or appear like Rebirth Superman.

Alternate Earth Superman, have him meet Atom and Supergirl.

Dear god get him as Rebirth Superman(on an alternate earth).

That Black Lighting OT title is good. Only could be better if it was a joke about Raiden.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Since there's already a Superman, he should play the Arrowverse version of Shazam.

Spoiler

And make Oliver's kid be Billy Batson. William already likes heroes who wear red,gold and lightning bolts.

 

[Platy]

Alternate earth superman is perfect for a flash tv show

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Could be the Superman from Jay's Universe. Earth Old Tv.


Or make him Jor-El.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

If he plays an alternate Superman, they better work Save Me in there as an orchestral bit.

 

[ZeroX03]

If they got Welling, with Dean Cain and Brandon Routh already on that’d leave Cavill as the only living Superman not to appear in the Arrowverse right? If they bring Smallville into multiverse canon they can sort of retroactively nab Reeve.

They could almost certainly get Tim Daly after Madam Secretary finishes for bonus points too.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Make him a villain. Superboy Prime or Ultraman. Next crossover to deal with Superboy Prime would be incredible.

 

[Platy]

I mean if supes is the main villain for flash is not like he IS a speedster he just runs fast xD

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Bizarro. A version of Superman who got messed up as his universe was being destroyed and he barely made it out. The setup to the never-gonna-happen Crisis crossover.

William
Will
Bill
Billy


what's william's last name anyway?

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

William
Will
Bill
Billy


what's william's last name anyway?

Clayton, but we know William and Samantha were living under aliases after William was kidnapped by Damien Dahrk- he told Chase his name was Matthew, so maybe the alias was a Batson?

 

[kylecoley182]

when do the soundtracks come out?

 

[ZeroX03]

when do the soundtracks come out?

Sometime in October. The release dates are always messy, Blake Neely said Oct 10 for Flash and Legends, but Amazon is saying Oct 27 and it's never been consistent.

The soundtracks for Flash and Legends were finished earlier and have artwork release, so expect them before Arrow and Supergirl.

Does S6 have a new cinematographer? A lot of those trailer shots are REALLY good

 

[ZeroX03]

Not sure about cinematographer, but based James Bamford is back behind the directing chair for the premiere which most of the shots are from. He went from ambitious but very clumsy to one of Arrow’s strongest assets in like three episodes. So good.

Also in Arrow news:

Yes, that’s Prometheus in the crossover but it’s not Adrian Chase.

Episode 5 is titled ‘Deathstroke Returns’ and 6 is ‘Promises Kept’. So go figure.

The action under Bamford was always really well done, but a lot of the shots were extremely poor or underwhelming for me, still hella excited.

Also, the crossover Prometheus is actually Vigilante.

Or Earth 2 papa Arrow
