ELSEWORLDS: All The Biggest Moments And Spoilers From SUPERGIRL's Final Chapter Of The Crossover
Last night was the final part of this year's "Elseworlds" crossover but how did the story wrap up and in what ways did it set the stage for whatever comes next? Well, you can find the answers right here...
Last night, The CW's three-night Arrowverse crossover, "Elseworlds", came to a close and while it was a pretty solid finale, it's what it teased for the future that will really get fans excited.
Yes, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" is next for these heroes and while we didn't think that would happen until 2024, it appears as if the network isn't going to waste any time in bringing that storyline to the small screen...and possibly even killing off Barry Allen!
What you'll find here is a look at not only what comes next, but all the biggest moments from yesterday evening's episode of Supergirl. There were definitely some big surprises, too.
So, to take a look, all you guys have to do is hit the "View List" button down below.
John Deegan Is The New Superman
If you were wondering what the deal is with the Superman wearing a black suit, this episode wastes no time in revealing that it's not an evil Clark Kent; instead, John Deegan has transformed himself into the Man of Steel!
He's desperately trying to play the hero and Barry Allen and Oliver Queen manage to outsmart him by destroying a crane and making him decide whether to stop them or save the kids below (which obviously plays to his ego and newfound belief that he's a superhero). Even so, doing that leaves the Fastest Man Alive feeling sick to his stomach.
A Whole New Reality
The world has changed significantly since Deegan rewrote reality again as Kara Danvers is being kept a prisoner in S.T.A.R. Labs and Alex Danvers, John Diggle, and Killer Frost are all now minions for "Superman." Cisco, meanwhile, is a crime boss and James Olsen is one of his hired guns.
Many of these changes (especially the ones from Supergirl) feel forced as it just seems almost too coincidental that their Earth-1 counterparts would end up taking on these roles. In many ways, it feels like this finale doesn't think big enough...or the budget started running low!
Superman Vs. Superman
In one of the coolest things The CW has done to date, we get to see the Earth-38 version of Superman take on Deegan's Man of Steel in an impressive fight sequence which doesn't last anywhere near as long enough as it probably should have. It's fun while it lasts and it would be crazy for the network to walk away from this crossover unaware of how much fans want a Superman TV show.
Slowing Down Time
In a bid to stop Deegan once and for all, the Flash and Supergirl hatch a plan to slow down time by racing around the world in opposite directions at Mach-7. You don't need us to tell you which comic book and movie this is a reference to and both heroes are very nearly destroyed by the sheer amount of effort this takes. That probably doesn't bode well for what comes next, of course...
The Monitor May Not Be A Bad Guy
While his methods are definitely questionable (he destroyed Earth-90 and countless other realities), The Monitor doesn't appear to be a full-on villain and is instead just trying to prepare Earth-1's heroes for an upcoming "Crisis."
When Green Arrow pleads for the life of Barry and Kara, The Monitor, realising that they're his best hope, gives him a weapon which can stop Deegan and it seems as if we can expect to see much more of him moving forward.
After all, he' essentially recruited these heroes to help him take down the Anti-Monitor now and that battle is bound to have major ramifications for the Arrowverse which we'll touch on a little later in the breakdown of the finale.
Returning To Argo
Those of you hoping to see more of Superman in Supergirl may be disappointed to learn that the Man of Steel has decided to return to Argo with Lois Lane as she's pregnant and that's the safest place for her. That means Earth is now under Kara's protection but as disappointing as this may be, you have to believe that the hero will return to Metropolis in time for next year's Arrowverse event.
A Super Proposal
After returning to the Fortress of Solitude, a distracted Superman burns his and Lois' dinner on the barbeque and them picks up a piece of coal and crushes it in his hand to turn it into, you guessed it, a diamond! He then proposes to his longtime girlfriend and she obviously accepts and it's once again hard to believe that The CW isn't planning a spinoff featuring these two hugely popular characters.
Batwoman Returns
With Deegan defeated and left hideously scarred, he's sent to Arkham Asylum. Superman and Supergirl are back on Earth-38 (which is where the aforementioned reveals take place) and Oliver and Barry celebrate their victory in a bar and reflect on being each other.
It's then that the Green Arrow receives a phone call from Batwoman and she doesn't seem happy. It turns out that since being sent to Arkham, Deegan has made an unexpected new ally...
Psycho Pirate Knows What's Coming
We caught a glimpse of Psycho Pirate in Arrow the other night but it seems as if he'll play a huge role in the next Arrowverse event because he tells Deegan the following:
"Don't worry, doctor. Everything is as it should be. The stage is set. Worlds will live...worlds will die. And the universe will never be the same!"
The newspaper from 2024 has already confirmed that Psycho Pirate is the only one who remembers what the world used to be like before reality was changed and the Flash disappeared and comic book fans will be well aware of the role he played in Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Crisis On Infinite Earths
It's not supposed to happen until 2024 but Supergirl ended with confirmation that Crisis on Infinite Earths is the next Arrowverse event. This feels like a storyline which should play out over more than three or four nights and common sense says that while The CW probably won't actually kill Barry off (thereby changing his future), they will use this to merge the worlds of The Flash and Supergirl.
After all, it no longer really makes sense for Supergirl to live in a separate world to the other heroes and it would certainly simplify things and even serve as a reboot of sorts for a show like Arrow which could do with a fresh lick of paint and some new characters.
What did you think of Elseworlds? Did it live up to expectations or were you disappointed by how things played out? As always, share your thoughts on that in the comments section below.
