Synopsis:
INVASION! EARTH-X! ELSEWORLDS! COUNTDOWN!
The Final Chapter is here!
The CRISIS has arrived!
The Multiverse is under attack and only the Heroes of the Arrowverse can save the day.
Bionic Bob takes the 5 part CW television event and unites it into a single epic movie experience!
Intentions:
DC Comics 1985's CRISIS ON INFINITE EARHTS is probably the most impactful series I ever read in my teen formative years. It was the first comic to ever make be cry. Twice! It is the Gold Standard of epic comic book crossovers.
The CW Arrowverse adaptation was an ambitious television event that it succeeded more than it failed. My intent with this fan edit is to unite the 5 separate episodes into a single movie, while expanding the narrative scope slightly with some additional cameos and comic book moments. I also cut out many unneeded comedic bits to maintain tone and cut scenes for pacing.
As cosmic as the story is, I wanted the emotional narrative through line to be Oliver Queen's influence on the creation of the Arrowverse.
