I am already a huge fan of the comic book television series' that are airing all over cable these days. Everything from the Walking Dead, to Gotham, to the Netflix series', to Green Arrow, and the Flash. However, the CW have really outdone themselves with this huge cross0over event call Crisis on Earth-X! Four hours of what felt like watching a comic book come to life not he small screen!
The CW took a big event like the Flash (Grant Gustin) marrying his lifelong love, Iris West (Candice Patton) to create what really feels like a comic book arch, to give us this two day-four hour event.
In the DC comics we basically learned that there are 52 earths. Well, in the Flash series we just learned of the 53rd. This is an earth where the Nazi party ruled and was lead by Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell). Queen has a group of allies that have vowed to help him take over all of the multiverse. The strongest of which is his wife, Overgirl (Melissa Benoist), our worlds Supergirl (also Melissa Benoist).
We come to learn that Overgirl has a degenerative disease and the only hope for her survival is a heart transplant from Supergirl! The only way to save Supergirl, and our Earth from being over taken by Nazis is to assemble the most powerful league they can. We get the full casts from Supergirl, the Flash, Arrow, and the Legends of Tomorrow in a story for the ages.
I really can't believe that the CW can give us a story this epic and totally show up the WB's Justice League. I think this may have been the CW showing the WB that they really messed up by not incorporating the television heroes into the film world. I really Marvel decides to take not and bring the Netflix heroes into the second chapter of the Infinity War.
I hope everyone caught this, but for those that weren't able to, there is always next year on Netflix or home video. You can almost bet that the CW will release this in some form, soon. I definitely recommend this for all ages and all fans of comic books. Well done CW, well done.
