Bosco685 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Quote There has been a fairly strict separation of the DC film and television world. How were you able to combine the two with Miller’s cameo? We were series wrapped on “Arrow,” and we were wrapped on the whole crossover. We were in post and some episodes were locked, and some were soft-locked. I got a phone call from [Warner Bros. boss] Peter Roth saying, “I know you’re locked, but can you put Ezra into the crossover?” And I said, “Yes.” And he said, “How, you’re series wrapped? And you’re wrapped on the crossover.” And I said, “Yeah, I know, but if you’re telling me Ezra Miller can be in the crossover, I can make it happen.” I called Eric Wallace who is the showrunner of “Flash,” and he called up Grant Gustin — because the one thing that was our only concern was the thought we didn’t want to do it unless Grant was 100 percent on-board with it. And he was. He was incredibly enthusiastic and on-board with it. And then we got on the phone with Ezra Miller and told him the scene I had written and he was completely into it. And we just went. We put together a unit of the “Flash” crew on the “Flash” set [since “Arrow’s” team, which had produced the rest of the hour, was gone]. And much to our surprise, no one noticed Ezra Miller was in Vancouver and no one leaked it from the crew, which we appreciate. So we were able to keep it a surprise. Combining the multiverse made it so there was only one version of each hero left. Does that mean that Miller’s Flash no longer exists in the DC television world? I will leave that question to Warner Bros. and DC. They have a wonderful vision for not just Ezra’s Flash, but also the entire DC universe. Jim Lee is the man to talk to.

I like pie Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) So I've never been much of a DC guy but I've enjoyed many of their animated movies. With Crisis considered one of the best DC stories, I gave the show crossover a try. I've watched the first few seasons of Flash and LoT and enjoyed them as well but this whole crossover has been really hard to watch. It feels like a mix of Saturday morning cartoons and the original Power Rangers show Edited January 16, 2020 by I like pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faster friends Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yea the story was a mess. But it was fun watching everyone work together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Man_Adam Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I agree - these shows are high drama and take way too long to get things resolved - I confess I didn’t watch it all and I’m not sure if Silent Bob is necessary to sell anything comic related , but I digress ... I suppose for comic book TV this is as good as it gets ..... for now ...I’m confident The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will reset those expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with that, no I wouldn't expect this to win any awards for storytelling. Nor did it need to. As far as 'good as it gets', try Doom Patrol. Young Justice animated series and Titans Season 2. Plus, we will see what HBO Max brings to the table with Green Lantern and Strange Adventures. And yes, now we will have Falcon/Winter Soldier and WandaVision too.

Not that the crossover was perfect, but if you go back to the source where they jumped across worlds and characters you may be surprised how much this may match up. While also molding the story to fit the characters and events of the CW shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while it may be useful to have knowledge of the back story, I feel it shouldn’t be a prerequisite, especially since I will assume most CW watchers have not read the comics.

You misunderstood the intent. You don't have to read the source material. But being aware how the CW modeled after the source material story approach does help. It was great they honored the material so much, they had Marv Wolfman show up to get Barry and Kara's signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 So, I finally started watching this today (Episode 4 is on TV as I type this). 90% of the acting is god-awful. Half of the dialogue makes me vomit in my mouth. Batwoman is insufferable. Supergirl is so freaking emo/annoying. Lois Lane is terrible. Lex Luthor is okay. Weird actor choice, though. Kinda worked. Overall - simply garbage. Underwhelmed. Sad about the very short cameo for Welling. Spoiler THAT EZRA MILLER CAMEO? HOLY ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comicopolis Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 In the UK, we're just getting this next week. Is Batwoman part of it? The other 4 shows are on Sky but that isn't, so while Sky have been promoting Crisis they haven't mentioned Batwoman as part of the crossover.

During the network's presentation at the Television Critics Association press tour, the official dates and times for the five-night event were revealed. Supergirl - Sunday, December 8th (8/7c) Batwoman - Monday, December 9th (8/7c) The Flash - Tuesday, December 10th (8/7c) Arrow - Tuesday, January 14, 2020 (8/7c) Legends of Tomorrow - Tuesday, January 14, 2020 (9/8c) As it stands now, the television adaptation of "Crisis" is shaping up to be a television event unlike any other.
