DC Announces 'Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths' Animated Film
Posted on July 25, 2023 by Neil Cole
DC and Warner Bros. Discovery announced the upcoming release of "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths" animated movie during the San Diego Comic-Con panel for the latest DC Universe Animated Original Movie, "Justice League: Warworld".
The animated film will be based on the groundbreaking DC Comics 12-issue crossover storyline, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" which was written by Marv Wolfman and pencilled by George Pérez and ran from April, 1985 through 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. The Monitor tries to recruit heroes from around the Multiverse but is murdered, while Brainiac collaborates with the villains to conquer the remaining Earths. However, both the heroes and villains are eventually united by the Spectre; the series concludes with Kal-L, Superboy-Prime and Alexander Luthor Jr. defeating the Anti-Monitor and the creation of a single Earth in place of the Multiverse. "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, dividing the fictional universe's timeline into "pre-Crisis" and "post-Crisis" eras.
"Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths" is currently scheduled to release in 2024 along with an animated film adaptation of author Alan Moore's critically acclaimed comic book miniseries, "Watchmen".
We will continue to update this story as more information is made available.
