Summary

A very different DC Universe almost made its room to theaters four yr ago that would have outdone theDCEU . 2023 marked the conclusion ofthe DCEU movie timelinein order of magnitude to pave the style for James Gunn ’s DC Universe , which is presently in the whole kit . However , while the DCEU was find , the earth of television system had its own interconnected universe occur on The CW in the form of the Arrowverse .

In his latest launching on his Substack website , ArrowandLegend of Tomorrowco - creatorMarc Guggenheim , and one of the important executive producer for the Arrowverse , looked back at the bigCrisis on Infinite Earthsevent that ran between the end of 2019 and into the start of 2020 . Guggenheim discover thattheCrisis on Infinite Earthscrossover was almost brought to theater of operations , share the chase :

I do n’t believe this is publicly known ( again , legislative act of limitation ) but we had been working with Warner Bros. to unloose all five hour ofCrisisin movie theaters across the country . The event — arranged through Fathom Events — was expire to include special surprises like cast appearing and giveaways and we ’d also cut together a few bonuses that would have been screen in - between episodes and , yes , they would have include the deleted scenes — with all the VFX completed , the auditory sensation sundry , and the picture show color - timed — that I ’d mentioned . At this point , you ’re probably wondering why this result did n’t go forward . Well , the answer is that it was scheduled for April 2020 . Covid ruins everything .

Every DCEU Movie Ranked

The DCEU is almost pure after 15 movies , but how does Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom compare to the likes of Justice League and The Flash ?

What Crisis On Infinite Earths Did Better Than The DCEU’s Justice League

Whilethe DCEU ’s interpretation of theJustice Leaguemoviein 2017 had possibly a bigger budget than the Arrowverse’sCrisis on Infinte Earthscrossover , it is the latter that still stop up more victorious , especially when looking at the two shared universes path of shell out with the squad . Crisis on Infinite Earthswas something the Arrowverse was ramp up towards since the last ofThe Flashpilot in 2014 , as they were still flesh out the DC TV franchise on The CW . By the timeCrisis on Infinite Earthsaired in 2019 , the continuity had set several shows in the past seasons , bringing a wide variety of DC zep and villain to the small screen .

One of the fully grown strengths ofCrisis on Infinite Earths , in comparison to 2017’sJustice League , was how the five - part Arrowverse crossover honour the yesteryear and present of DC TV and films . They even deal to get the DCEU involved , as Ezra Miller ’s interlingual rendition of Barry Allen hybridize paths withGrant Gustin ’s The Flash . In the casing of the DCEU ’s take on the Justice League , a lot of it was rushed and given little meter to have a natural execution , which is extremely showcased in Joss Whedon ’s cut of the flick in 2017 .

The DCEU ’s bigger issue at the end , that the Arrowverse did n’t brook from , was having a studio that was perpetually change the plans for their franchise as they were incredibly reactionary . Something likeCrisis on Infinite Earthswas given the fourth dimension to seed the idea that finally columnated in what became the biggest DC lively - natural action crossover event of all time . Hopefully , the mistake that theDCEUcommitted throughout its decade - long run will not carry over into the newfangled DC Universe .
