CW Boss On The Arrowverse’s Crisis On Infinite Earths Crossover Being Comic Book Accurate

Crossing over any franchise with another is tough, to say the least. The CW’s Arrowverse has taken many risks before in past crossover episodes which for the most part have been done flawlessly.

Their next big crossover event “Crisis On Infinite Earths” will be pulling no punches according to CW President Mark Pedowitz.

While speaking to reporters at the 2019 Television Critics Association Pedowitz said:

“It will be the biggest, the most complicated one that they’ve done, but I am proud to say that they are doing it and we are supporting them.”

The title was revealed at the end of 2018’s fantastically done “Elseworlds” crossover and has led fans to speculate how accurate the show will be when compared to the original 12 issue comic series.

Pedowitz had this to say about what liberties the show will take when it comes to the comic books:

“I can’t tell you if it will follow the comic book version, but it will take some big swings.”

Could the “big swings” mean the possible deaths of certain beloved superheroes? If you aren’t familiar with the Crisis On Infinite Earths comic series, spoiler alert, comic book readers had their hearts crushed with the deaths of both Supergirl and Flash.

However, The Flash and Supergirl have been recently announced to be renewed for another season, so their names can probably be taken off the chopping block. For now.
