CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Animated Movie May End Up Being A Trilogy Based On Recent Listing

Warner Bros. Animation is developing Crisis on Infinite Earths and Watchmen movies for 2024, but a new listing suggests the former will actually be split into three and not two as we previously heard...

Over the years, we've seen Warner Bros. Animation's DC Animated Universe adapt many beloved stories while putting fresh spins on plenty of others. With DC Studios looking to make future animated projects part of the new DCU, this franchise's future is uncertain, but the "Tomorrowverse" looks set to go out on a high. 

Crisis on Infinite Earths is coming in 2024 and while we'd heard the movie would be presented in two parts, it sounds like it will actually be split into three

As we first reported on Toonado.com, animation director Mike Milo has updated his résumé and, as you can see below, it points to us getting Crisis trilogy. For the time being, we don't know whether these chapters will premiere in one go as some sort of mega-movie or be spaced out across 2024 and beyond. 

Speculation continues running rampant that Crisis will bring together nearly every character we've ever seen in the DCAU, delivering the ultimate crossover before the focus is shifted to DC Studios' upcoming endeavours (the only confirmed animated project currently on the way from them is Creature Commandos). 

Warner Bros. Animation has yet to comment on whether these details are accurate so we'd recommend not getting too excited before an official announcement is made. Crisis on Infinite Earths was announced during this year's San Diego Comic-Con alongside what's expected to be a two-part Watchmen adaptation. 

The story is one that's been adapted on only a handful of occasions, including by The CW's Arrowverse. Prior to the formation of DC Studios, Warner Bros. had been planning a live-action Crisis movie with a scrapped post-credits scene in The Flash's meant to set the stage for that. Unfortunately, it's no longer happening. 

Crisis on Infinite Earths is expected to be released in 2024.

Animated CoIE is apparently a three parter

Crisis on Infinite Earths was a comic book crossover storyline published by DC Comics in the mid-1989s. The series, written by Marv Wolfman and pencilled by George Pérez, ran for 12 issues and stemmed from the former's desire to abandon the DC Multiverse.

Believing the concept had become overly complicated, the writer set out to create a single, unified DC Universe. 

At the start of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Anti-Monitor (the Monitor's evil counterpart) is unleashed on the DC Multiverse and begins to destroy the various Earths that it comprises. The Monitor tries to recruit heroes from around the Multiverse but is murdered, while Brainiac collaborates with the villains to conquer the remaining Earths.

However, both the heroes and villains are eventually united by the Spectre, and the series concludes with Kal-L, Superboy-Prime and Alexander Luthor Jr. defeating the Anti-Monitor with the creation of a single Earth in place of the Multiverse then following. Crisis on Infinite Earths is noted for its high death count; hundreds of characters died, including DC icons Kara Zor-El/Supergirl and Barry Allen/The Flash.

As a result, the DCU was, for a long time, broken down into the "pre" and "post" Crisis eras.

have said Crisis needed a 3 parter

but man it is way too soon to do this with the tomorrowverse

imagine if they did Crisis with the DCAU cast and designs



that was a fully realized and developed DC universe with plenty of multiverse episodes

also plenty of animated movies that used the art style that they could take designs from for cameos (JL G&M, Red Son, Gotham By Gaslight, Soul Of The Dragon, etc)

@dracula - I have a feeling every DCAU character is going to be in this movie. I can imagine they will even have the Bruce Timm version of batman appear and Terry McGinnis from batman beyond.

Looks like the Tomorrowverse is coming to a quick end for Gunn's vision to take place. I actually had a better time with the new52 movies than most of these. I think after Batman the Long Halloween came out, their catalog was kind of bland.

Had no idea this was in works. And now it's potentially a three-parter? That's pretty sweet.

Just wonder that if the DCU ever comes around to adapting it, they can keep it fresh. This is the second DC on-screen universe adapting it after all.

@bkmeijer1 - Maybe unlike prior takes, they’ll actually include characters like Alexander Luthor Jr., Superboy-Prime, and Lady Quark.

@FlixMentallo21 - that would be pretty cool to see. I know we already kinda got Pariah in the Arrowverse, but I think there's way more to that character as well

@bkmeijer1 - Aside from how in the comics he’s completely separate from Harrison Wells.

@FlixMentallo21 - exactly. I guess it worked for the Arrow erse, but Pariah should be his own character next time around. Potential to be a really tragic character and lead of the movie
