![]() After the original “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” DC followed up with a crossover titled “Legends” where Darkseid tried to ruin humanity’s faith in superheroes. I think that would be a mistake.” Of course, that doesn’t mean the story of the next crossover can’t be big. ![]() Speaking to IndieWire, producer Marc Guggenheim said they’re already planning the next crossover, but they “have no intention of trying something this ambitious next year. Meanwhile, the next crossover may not involve another universe-shattering event. The big takeaway from Crisis is that there is now a Justice League (or as close to it as we’re going to get), so threats that are too big for one team can involve mini crossovers every once in a while. For one, we know Supergirl has incorporated elements and even characters from the Legion of Superheroes throughout its run, but how does Crisis affect the future world where the Legion resides? It’s likely that if these questions are to be answered, the show to do so is the one that cares the least about continuity or logic.Ī unified Earth means future crossovers can happen more easily and without the need of huge stakes to justify the heroes getting together. Likewise, the fact that Legends of Tomorrow will start its season in the aftermath of Crisis means it will probably deal with the crazy ramifications of simply merging universes together. ![]() According to the teaser for next week’s The Flash, the show will deal with serious changes to Earth’s physics following the merging, which can bring about new metahumans, or worse problems. Though the final episode of Crisis on Infinite Earths doesn’t make it clear, the question remains of what exactly Earth’s population is now, or whether multiple versions of people got folded together. Just like half the universe disappearing and suddenly reappearing 5 years into the future, merging 5 universes together on one same Earth gets complicated very quickly. While Black Lightning and Batwoman are more personal, intimate stories, the birth of Earth Prime brings as many problems as The Blip did post- Endgame. So now that she has seen him and decided she does not want to follow his example, it will be interesting to see who Batwoman will become. Throughout the season, Batwoman has contended with the legacy of Bruce Wayne, who disappeared in her universe 3 years prior to the series. According to Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries, this interaction, as well as Kate and Kara’s friendship will play a major role moving forward. During Crisis, Kate came face to face with an older, way more murderous Bruce Wayne (played by Kevin Conroy!). Then there’s Kate’s big development in the crossover. Having the two together in the same universe means more possibilities for the two to get together, even if not for high-stakes situations but simply to hang out, as seen towards the end of Crisis when Kate was sitting on Kara’s couch watching TV. After all, they understand, perhaps better than anyone, the huge expectations people have for them due to their more famous cousins, and both are dealing with childhood trauma. The crossover had the two bond together over the loss of their universes, and find emotional support in one another. Without a Batman in the Arrowverse, Kate and Kara are the closest we’ll get to the super duo of Batman and Superman, at least for now. For one, there’s the newfound friendship between Batwoman and Supergirl. Though, out of the teaser for the Arrowverse shows released just after Crisis on Infinite Earths aired, only Batwoman seemed like it ignored the crossover the implications of Crisis are huge for Kate Kane ( Ruby Rose).
