Geekville Radio #247: What Is Crisis On Infinite Earths?
We discussed in our last podcast the 1985 comic series Crisis On Infinite Earths that is being adapted for this year’s Arrowverse crossover.

Geekville Radio #247: What Is Crisis On Infinite Earths
The latest CW crossover is less than a week away. The CW, Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and all the other creators of the “Arrowverse” knock it out of the park every year. This year’s event, Crisis On Infinite Earths, promises to be the biggest one yet.
So what makes this crossover so much bigger than the others? And what is the hoopla over this Crisis anyway? These are the types of questions this episode of Geekville Radio will answer as we dive into the source material for the CW TV Crossover: DC’s Crisis On Infinite Earths.
Our first glimpse of the Arrowverse mega-crossover Crisis On Infinite Earths is finally here. While it is only a few seconds, it’s still better than nothing.
Deadline reports Welling will appear in this winter’s Crisis On Infinite Earths with his Smallville character intact. He joins the list of three actors playing different incarnations of Clark Kent, aka Superman.
That said, like with so many other remakes and rebrandings, the original lore is still there. It won’t get erased from existence if a retelling of Snake-Eyes happens.
Airdates will be Supergirl 12/8, Batwoman 12/9, Flash 12/10. Then Arrow and Legends Of Tomorrow on 1/14. So that’s five episodes in two parts, meaning it will also double as the mid-season cliffhanger.
Batman: Hush is the latest story to be adapted into the DC Animated Movie Universe. You can check out a clip below that shows Batman rumbling with a possessed Superman.
Hush was a story by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee that originally appeared in Batman #608-619. It brought a classic Batman villain to the limelight and featured one of the few in-continuity confrontations between Batman and Superman.
Like most movies in the DCAMU, it features Jason O’Mara as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Jerry O’Connell as Superman/Clarke Kent, and Rebecca Romijn as Lois Lane. Jennifer Morrison of Once Upon A Time and Housejoins the cast as Catwoman/Selina Kyle. It is available in stores, and on the DC Universe streaming service.
