Suit Up for the biggest crossover ever we've got your backs Crisis on Infinite Earths
The CW's crossover event begins Sunday December 8 presented by boost
mobile the switch that gives you more
all right tomorrow morning 9 o'clock tunnels bringing all fantasy team why
should we do that cuz I know how to save Barry Allen
you must be the monitor how do you know it has no human would actually wear
something so ridiculous you ache for the world you lost and I posses the power to
restore it you can bring back where's the recovery of your universe will
require a single task
what kind of task you must betray Oliver Queen
welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my crisis on Infinite Earths
teaser video they dropped the first look there's a whole bunch of Easter eggs in
here I'll explain what's going on and why some of these villains are showing
up in these so we'll do a new round of that flash ring giveaway all you have to
do to enter is be a subscriber and leave your favorite moment from the teaser on
the video there's a couple scenes from the last episode's teasing crisis stuff
so I added that to this I'll talk about those in a second but first we'll talk
about the crisis footage so first you see a version of the monitor on another
world that looks like the monitor but he doesn't have the muttonchops so either
it's a younger version of the monitor earlier in the timeline or it's someone
like the anti-monitor because during the original comic book crisis there was
only one monitor for the entire multiverse the positive matter
multiverse and then one anti monitor for the antimatter universe so what might be
happening here is they just used the Waverider to travel back in time to a
different period and talk to him and that's why he doesn't have the
muttonchops remember the legends will be
participating and be a huge part of the crossover this year for those of you
that wondered whether or not they were going to be around because they skipped
last year they even made a joke about that during last season the legends we
should have participated in the crossover you might notice some
interesting additions to the group shot here though from left to right we have
martian manhunter about time he had a bigger role in the crossover he is one
of the most powerful characters that they have in the arrowverse and they
barely ever use them during the team-ups sarah standing here like i said a
legends going to be a big part of the crossover again this year the first
episode of legends new season is actually going to be the crossover but
that's not happening till January so I'll explain the schedule because
there's going to be two parts to the crossover three episodes in December and
then they go on break for a couple weeks then they come back at the end of
January and they have the last two episodes it's arrow than legends of
tomorrow is pulling up the anchor but that will be the first episode of their
brand new season and they're taking arrows time slot after arrows series
finale which actually I think it's a little bit after the crossover then you
have Barry and Cara both in their brand new suits they both got brand new gear
this year nice and shiny Barry got the chin back but it's also a top-to-bottom
redesign with a completely new material that's way more breathable in real life
way more comfortable for Grant Gustin to walk around in and easier to get in and
out of when he needs to but they also gave him way more
comic-book accurate earpieces that are flared out just a little bit bigger than
the ones he's had in the past biggest difference in Supergirl suit is that she
ditched the skirt and got the pants so her costume looks much more like Earth
38 Superman's costume Supergirl has worn pants in the comics before but I don't
remember what their reason for doing that on the TV show is her new costume
works a lot like Tony Stark's Avengers end game at Avengers infinity war
costumes with the nanobots forming the suit around him at will or say like
black panthers vibranium suit she doesn't have to step into the pants one
leg at a time like Stephen Amell when he's putting on his arrow pants for the
costume she just wills it to form around her when she needs it quick reminder
because they haven't done a scene in a while but Barry is still using the flash
ring he's been using it since the beginning of season 5 but it costs a lot
of money to do the special effects for that so that's why you don't see them
doing a version of this scene every single time he puts the suit on then
moving down the line a really big addition to the team lex luthor from
earth 38 played by Jon Cryer if you didn't watch Supergirl last season he
actually played Lenny Luthor during Superman for the quest for peace way
back when he was a character they created for the movie just to be a lex
luthor's punk-rock nephew they've joked about it a few times on the show but
they had Supergirl end him at the end of last season and in a post-credits
scene during the finale the monitor shows up in a resurrects him saying that
he has some special purpose in the fight to come
the people that the monitor is collecting he's calling Paragons the
special people that will defend the multiverse against the anti-monitor it's
sort of like Goku and the universe 7 team during Dragon Ball super universe
survival saga you get a bunch of your friends together to win a battle for the
fate of the universe some of them villains so like Lex Luthor
for instance would be their Frieza the person who's going to double-cross them the
first chance he gets but we'll help them out along the way if you are a big comic
book crisis fan you will remember though that Lex Luthor was an important
character during that but it was actually an alternate universe version
called Alexander Luthor from earth 3 when that crisis broke out he was a baby
they aged him rapidly to adulthood and helped him gain special powers over
antimatter the monitor wound up dying he took his place as team leader for all
the heroes as they faced the anti-monitor
so we wound up being a really important but really good character during that
event later he wound up double-crossing then during Infinite Crisis and became
the villain of that event very Lex Luthor twist you pretend to help people
out but then you ultimately double-cross them standing next to him you'll notice
Osric Chau from Supernatural he's playing the Ryan Choi Atom starting this season
on legends of tomorrow and he'll debut during the crossover
he's also the person you may remember from last season to the flash that made
Barry's flash rings but in the future so he'll continue to be important to the
other characters on the other TV shows making technology for them the whole
reason they're adding him is because Brandon Roth who normally plays Ray
Palmer Atom is leaving legends of tomorrow this season so they need a
replacement to take the mantle and Ryan Choi was just the next version of the
atom to take the mantle in the comics so it makes sense that you would introduce
him at some point Brandon Roth is playing both kingdom
comes Superman during the crossover and Ray Palmer Atom so you've seen both
pictures of them during different scenes it makes sense there would be a moment
with them acknowledging that they both look very much alike like wow your
version of Superman but somehow you're different you're Clark Kent from Krypton
and I'm a normal human from Planet Earth yet somehow we have the exact same face
even though we're calling him Kingdom Come Superman because that's the costume
that he's wearing from the comics he's playing a version of his Superman from
Superman Returns so because that was a sequel movie - Superman - with Richard
Donner and Christopher it's sort of implying that Christopher
Reeves Superman eventually became Kingdom Come Superman here's some fanart
of what that would look like had Christopher Reeve survived to
present-day early speculation to they might do a version of supergirls death
from comic book crisis but maybe they'll end Kingdom Come Superman and he'll
be the one that they're holding here sacrificing himself for the group then
you have bat woman pretty self-explanatory then you have the first
scene of Black Lightning during the crossover that we've seen just in the
middle of a fight of course he's going to participate in the Waverider scenes
but it's really hard to tell what else he'll be doing so whatever he's doing it
sounds like it's going to be fun but he won't be around for every single episode
of the crossover then the scene of bat woman Oliver and Mia
walking through the rubble in the middle of some big fight that they're having we
get the brand-new crisis on Infinite Earths intro logo they always make a
custom one for each of the different crossovers year-to-year but the letters
in the footage within them don't correspond to the actual episode order
so quick reminder crossover starts Sunday December 8th with Supergirl
episode 9 Batwoman is episode 2 the Flash's episode 3 then they go on break
for a couple weeks and come back for the second half yes I have heard the rumor
about Tom Welling Superman from Smallville only being in a very few
short scenes during the crossover I'm assuming it's during the first Supergirl
episode since most Superman related things happen on Supergirl and because
this scene takes place with earth 38 Superman in his Lois Lane on the Kent
farm it just a question of which can't farm are they going to be on Smallville's
earth are they going to be on earth 38 when this is happening the other really big
news literal and metaphorical big news is that they cast The Spectre character
from the comics but it's unclear what his role is going to be during the TV
crossover he had a big role during comic-book crisis but I don't know if
they're going to do the same thing with him during the TV show and even though we
haven't seen any footage of reverse-flash recently reverse-flash
will also be a big part of the crossover - but because Tom Cavanagh is playing a
couple different characters it's hard to say which episodes he's going to be in
next crisis
but everybody let me know in the comments what are you most excited about
if you have any big questions there'll be more bigger trailers with more crisis
footage dropping in the next couple of weeks
there is no episode of the flash this week what's happening tomorrow if you
didn't see Disney Plus is launching and the first episode of the mandalorian
I'll be doing a video for that so that'll be my Tuesday video and a brand
new Rick and Morty episode 2 trailer as long as you have alerts enabled for my
channel you see those videos when I post them everybody click here for my Rick
and Morty season 4 episode 1 video and click here for my last big flash crisis
