DC TV: Official Synopsis For The Four-Part "CRISIS ON EARTH-X" Crossover Released
The CW has officially released the plot description for the first two episodes in the upcoming four-part "Crisis on Earth-X crossover event, which reveals a number of surprisingly cool developments.
While the annual DC TV crossovers have always been crowd-pleasers, they've rarely been the best episodes of their respective seasons as the four shows somewhat awkwardly come together for essentially extended cameos in lackluster plotlines that have really lacked any sort of real substance in years past with some of the bigger heroes frequently getting sidelined while inconsequential supporting players take the spotlight.
However, having said that, it looks like this season's special event may actually deliver on the lofty expectations set by the network as Supergirl, The Flash, the Green Arrow, and all of the Legends join forces to take on the wedding crashing villains of Earth-X. It fortunately doesn't spill any spoilers, but we do get nice reveal on Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller), who now calls himself Citizen Cold.
The CW just released the synopsis for Part 1 and Part 2, which are coincidentally exactly the same, save for the change in writers. Check them out below:
