TheArrowVersecrossover eventCrisis on Infinite Earthsis all set to feature LaMonica Garrett as The Anti-Monitor. We now have our first look image at the villain. The highly anticipated television event is all set to debut in December and go through January with this year’s crossover set to blow every other installment out of the water in terms of its massive scale. Characters fromArrow,The Flash,Supergirl,Legends of Tomorrow,Batwoman, andBlack Lightningare all set to appear alongside a ton of special guest stars.
Crisis on Infinite Earthswill follow the comic book source material, but it’s unclear how closely the TV adaptation will match the original. With that being said, the producers have made it their goal to honor the source material, which sounds like a huge task.Arrowverse executive producer Greg Berlantihad this to say about the upcoming crossover event and its relationship to the comics.
“I never feel anything other than a sense of responsibility. Whenever we do an iconic story line or we do something that reminds us really vividly of one of those books that meant a lot to us, we have a sense of pressure and obligation of ‘Oh wow, we really don’t want to mess this up’ even more so than we usually do. So that fear overrides any kind of other emotion.”
In addition, Greg Berlanti says, “It’s the closest I ever feel to being a kid again, without a doubt. You just get the same sensation, and you didn’t even realize that you locked it up and put it away,” when talking about the chance to makeCrisis on Infinite Earthsbecome a reality on the small screen. It’s something that DC fans don’t take lightly and this event has been hyped up pretty big for this year. There’s still a lot that is being kept under wraps.
