RELATED: Cress Williams Discusses Black Lightning’s Role In “Crisis On Infinite Earths”īack in 1985-86, DC published the maxiseries ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’, which consisted of 12 issues, but almost the entire line of DC Comics felt the impact. But watchers of the other Arrowverse shows know that Earth-2 was wiped out just prior to “Crisis” officially kicking off. In the ‘Black Lightning’ episode, Jennifer (China Anne McClain) came face-to-face with two Jennifers from parallel Earths, including Earth-2. However, the series wasn’t completely exempt from the effects of the crossover storyline in which the Anti-Monitor is destroying the various parallel universes, as the latest episode, “The Book of Resistance: Chapter Four: Earth Crisis” tied in heavily to the effects of the main story, and there will be repercussions. ‘Black Lightning’, the series, is not a part of The CW’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover, but Black Lightning (Cress Williams), the character will be. But if there is one death that has to be fulfilled it’s, without doubt, Oliver’s.SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t seen the latest episode of ‘Black Lightning’, “The Book of Resistance: Chapter Four: Earth Crisis,” this contains MASSIVE SPOILERS so proceed with caution or turn back now. There are probably going to be at least a handful of big Arrowverse characters that will die in this crossover in order for Crisis on Infinite Earths to have the effect it needs. To be clear, Oliver’s death isn’t the only casualty that has to happen. It would be a copout to undo the promised death that we got from the Elseworlds crossover and the recent Arrow finale. Having him sacrifice himself for his team and for the whole multiverse would be a big deal and incredibly memorable. ![]() In many ways, Oliver formed this league of heroes and has been one of its truest leaders. Similarly to Avengers: Endgame, having Oliver die would be a bold move as well as fitting. With a crossover as big as this, there need to be repercussions as the stakes will be higher than ever. However, death has always come with twists in the Arrowverse. The finale also showed viewers his tombstone in the future. In the Season 7 finale, the Monitor confirmed that he has seen Oliver Queen’s death during the Crisis. The eighth season of Arrow, the series that kicked off this universe for The CW, will be the Emerald Archer’s final year. Since we already got two Supermen in the crossover, imagine Cuffe playing his own grandson Superman from the Krypton universe, which would be a lot of fun. Whatever Multiverse number that Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe) and the characters on the show exists on, a short cameo shouldn't be too tricky. There's also SYFY's Superman prequel series Krypton that should get to be part of the fun as well. If there were to be cameos, it could simply be archived footage that could be used similarly to when Barry traveled to Earth-2 for the first time. ![]() However, if multiple versions of Earth end up merging, maybe those shows could be absorbed into the same universe as the Arrowverse? While crossovers with those shows would be limited, having them all in the same world would still do wonders. The likelihood that they could all appear in the crossover is slim to none as they all film at different times and outside of Vancouver. ![]() There is also James Wan’s Swamp Thing (which sadly got canceled) to consider too. While Greg Berlanti has the Arrowverse on The CW, there are also his shows on DC Universe with Titans, Doom Patrol, and Stargirl.
