CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths Discussion Thread

First look at Routh's Kingdom Come Superman.

That suit looks wayyy to tight

The suit itself looks nice. Routh looks weird though for some reason.

Yeeeah but....

There's so much to look forward to with this event.

Looks like a porn parody

The suit actually looks pretty good for what they’re going for. But yeah Routh does look a bit strange lol

That's the best looking CW costume ever, Routh looks amazing.

Damn that is so coool !!!

Brandon Routh looks amazing in that suit.The suit itself makes him even more handsome.

I'm not seeing what's so impressive about the suit.

Another pic Routh released

@the_stegman: Amazing suit damn

Dang that does pretty dope in that image!

@the_stegman: Ok now that looks better lol, the first one looked really weird.

@wolfrazer: CW promo shoots are notoriously terrible.

@the_stegman: I'm kinda surprised they got a pretty accurate looking KC suit. All the other CW suits haven't been like that....eh ok Flash I guess later on, but still, on the first go.

@wolfrazer: It's a special one time thing, so they probably did it for the fans. Heck, this entire event is fan service.

Now this one deserves some praise

Guess that makes sense. Flash's new suit looks pretty great too. A bit I think 90s Flash still has a slightly better look, though probably more due to the material.

@godzilla44: Lol, I do agree though. Pretty on point. A bit I think the symbol would have been better if it were apart of the overall suit, but it still looks great none the less.

So it was confirmed that Routh is playing the same Superman from Superman Returns but much older.

This is the same Superman from Superman The Movie and Superman II, but aged. He's gonna be so damn powerful lmfao. Donner Superman was already crazy powerful.

The second Routh KC photo>>>the originally released photo.

Anyone known what Tom welling will be playing? Another version of Superman?

@charlesvvv: He's playing the one from Smallville.

The second picture is astounding. Great stuff.

Yeah, they should have released that picture first. He looks so much better there.

That's some of the best costuming I've seen in the CW

So it's confirmed that this Superman is actually the same as Reeves supes/superman returns...lol the arrowverse just got even more powerful

It's crazy to think that both Welling and Routh are playing their original Superman characters, and yet Oliver Queen is the one who saves the multiverse.

@zezima: We have no idea whether Oliver will save the Arrow multiverse.

Either Supermen may end up being the ones to defeat Anti Monitor.

So the canon for Routh's Superman is:

1) Superman The Movie

2) Superman II

3) Superman Returns

4) CW Crisis

I'm curious as to what happened to Superman's son from Superman Returns.

@ready_4_madness: That's complete hyperbole.

@frozen: He destined to die in the Crisis though, and if it's for anything else than saving the multiverse, I feel like it'll be a disappoinment to fans.

@zezima: He can play an integral role without defeating the Anti Monitor lol.

@frozen: I mean obviously, but the presumption is that he'll be the one to do it. Given his role in the Arrowverse, and all of that.

@zezima: I don't see how anyone could take that seriously. In the original story, it took a blood lusted Superman to finish off a severely weakened Anti Monitor.

So even a weakened version of AM should be super powerful.

@frozen: They've built up the Arrowverse much differently than the comics were built, Superman was always an important figure. My guess is they'll have Kara and the Clarks give their all to wear him down, and then Queen will land the finishing blow in a sacrifice to finally end him and avert the crisis.

who are we kidding? Supergirl is going to one-shot Anti-Monitor lol

@itouchedtheboat: I hope not lol. Both Welling and Routh Superman are far more powerful, hope the CW doesn't screw that up.

Ehh, don't really expect to do much anyway in this event. All these characters sound like just fanservice to me.

nobody is more powerful than progressive thinking. Supergirl stomps Smallville Superman and Superman Superman and CW Superman AND DCEU Superman with one hit.

but yeah all jokes aside, I haven't watched a second of anything CW has developed (DC or otherwise) but I don't think they're going to have guest characters like Routh or Tom be the hero that saves the day. It'll most likely be Oliver, Barry (most likely given how important Flash was in the original COIE), or Kara.

Oliver will weaken the Anti Monitor

Barry will defeat him..they're the most important characters in the arrowverse

I think it will be the other way around, Barry weakens him, Oliver sacrifices himself to defeat him.

They're still not done filming? That's kinda concerning

Well the event is about to start this December. They still have time I suppose.
