What is known so-far about Crisis on Infinite Earths Crossover

 A lot of the Arrowverse show fans are anticipating this crossover. Arrow is ending after 8 seasons and for the past seven years, ir had had its annual crossovers. Each one had been special and different. Some have not had the greatest reception like "Crisis on Earth-X." The last one "Elseworlds" introduced Batwoman. This is the most ambitious one. 


The series, written by Marv Wolfman and pencilled by George PĂ©rez, was first serialized as a 12-issue limited series from April 1985 to March 1986. 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. Crisis on Infinite Earths is noted for its high death count; hundreds of characters died, including DC icons Kara Zor-El (the original Supergirl) and Barry Allen (the Flash of the Silver Age). The story's events resulted in the entire DCU being rebooted.

It will air on the following nights:
Supergirl: Sunday, Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. 
Batwoman: Monday, Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. 
The Flash: Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 8 p.m. 

Arrow: Tuesday, Jan 14 at 8 p.m. 
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: Tuesday, Jan 14. at 9 p.m.

Not only will the story unfold in five series, but another CW Superhero Black Lightning will also guest star even though it won't be on his show. His show is shot in Atlanta, not Canada as the other series. So far, Flash and Arrow both have storylines involved with the Crisis while Supergirl and Batwoman so far have not.
