The Tomorrowverse: Justice League Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One

The Origins of Tomorrowverse and Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths

The Tomorrowverse is almost over, with Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One marking the conclusion of the Tomorrowverse's run. The DCEU movie timeline came to an end in 2023, and now the Tomorrowverse is finishing its run with the Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths trilogy. This trilogy, which began with Superman: Man of Tomorrow, is a significant milestone in the Tomorrowverse's history.

Arrowverse's Justice League in Crisis on Infinite Earths

In contrast, the Arrowverse adaptation of Crisis on Infinite Earths had a different journey. The Arrowverse first planted the seed for the enormous storyline in The Flash pilot back in 2014. It wasn't until the events of the Elseworlds crossover in 2018 that the road toward Crisis on Infinite Earths began. This highlights the significant differences in the timeline and setup of Crisis on Infinite Earths between the two universes.

The Approach to Crisis on Infinite Earths

The Tomorrowverse is tackling Crisis on Infinite Earths relatively early in the heroes' lives, taking place only a few years after the events of Superman: Man of Tomorrow and the other films. This stands in contrast to the Arrowverse incarnation, which happened nearly a decade after the launch of Greg Berlanti's DC TV shows on The CW in 2012. Additionally, the Tomorrowverse's adaptation involves the role of the Crime Syndicate of America, a key element that was not part of the Arrowverse's iteration of the storyline.
