>Additionally, Kevin Conroy will make an appearance on the five-hour event as Batman himself: Bruce Wayne. Conroy, who is well known for providing the voice for the Caped Crusader in “Batman: The Animated Series” and “Batman Beyond,” will appear as Bruce Wayne from the future.
KEVIN CONROY IS CW'S BATMAN IN COIE
Hell yes.
CW's really putting effort into this thing. I wonder who else they could still get?
More info:
>“Crisis on Infinite Earths,” which will continue the story that started with the end of The Flash‘s very first episode, truly got underway during last year’s “Elseworlds” crossover, and then was heavily teased in several Arrowverse season finales, will unfold as follows — with some shows airing on special days/times:
Supergirl: Sunday, Dec. 8 at 8/7c (special time)
Batwoman: Monday, Dec. 9 at 8 pm (special day)
The Flash: Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 8 pm
>And then, in the year 2020:
Arrow: Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 8 pm (special time)
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 9 pm (special episode)
>Legends‘ installment of “Crisis” is considered a special episode, and is not its season premiere.
>On the casting front, unspecified characters from Black Lightning, which to date has never fully been a part of the Arrowverse, will make their crossover event debut.

So Kevin is straight up going to wear a batsuit and jump around? Should be interesting.
He's playing "Bruce Wayne from the future". Probably will be a retired Bruce who is too old to be Batman.
Probably Kingdom Come Bruce. To Routh's KC Superman.
Yeah, it'll probably be more of a 'Batman Beyond'-type Bruce.
They specified "Bruce Wayne", just like Titans. Still no Batman allowed on TV.
>not casting him as the Joker.
the rumor that Lynda Carter will play Wonder Woman grows stronger by the hour
>ARROW's season finale will be Crisis
Damn, mah boi really is RIP.
Terry when?
I think Arrow actually has two more episodes after Crisis ends but I could be mistaken.
>CW
Who's going to be a lesbian this time ?
>Oliver "dies" in the Ra's Al Ghul/Lazarus Pit season
>Comes back due to herbs
I will never not be mad at such a missed opportunity.
I can't believe this old image has a chance of becoming a reality
>“Crisis on Infinite Earths” will wrap up on Jan. 14 with “Arrow” — airing its series finale
thewrap.com
Guess the information I read was wrong, thanks for the correction.
is hamill gonna show up ?
perhaps one executive saw this
I wouldn't be surprised. He's been in The Flash several times and he loves this type of stuff, especially if it's with Conroy, so if he's not in it I assume it's due to scheduling.
CW writers notoriously lurk Yea Forums/reddit for feedback and ideas.
He already showed up as the Trickster multiple times so I don't see why not
>notoriously
It's an open secret.
Who else is set to appear besides Burt Ward, Routh's Superman, Kevin Conroy, and Black Lightning?
No one else so far.
But there are rumors about Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum and Lynda Carter.
john wesley shipp is a given
Based.
>"There's a possibility, but we haven't really fully had that discussion one way or another," Pedowitz says of an #Arrow flashforward spinoff. There's another DC property they're looking at for next season.
What other show do you think they should do after Arrow?
wasn't he killed in Elseworlds though?
of course he can always come back as yet another earth Barry
Awesome.
Will he sacrifice his beard or implement it?
>wasn't he killed in Elseworlds though?
Nope, just teleported away.
Lois & Clark or Batman Beyond
Gotham City Sirens
Shaq could come back as Steel.
Good God, Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher.
Oh Jesus, that would be amazing.
arnt they doing that as a movie?
Don't know if it's old news, but they also confirmed that, in addition to Eobard Thawne and Indiana Wells, Tom Cavanagh is also playing the Pariah and he'll apparently be a bad guy working for the Anti-Monitor.
crisis of infinite toms when?
I don't know, I guess it all depends on how successful BoP is. I'm just saying that it's perfect for the CW. You have the lesbian character (Ivy), the bisexual one (Harley), and not-so-straight one (Selina), also you have the will-they-won't-they romance between Harley and Ivy for cheap drama. I can see it working more as a show than as a movie.
WB film studios wanted the moratorium to stand. The bosses at AT&T overruled when they saw the press that Burt Ward and Brandon were getting. There's one more major turn they are working on. HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if it can be done. The actor is willing and eager to return. He even wants to wear the suit again. WB film bosses are screaming bloody murder about it. AT&T loves the idea. It's all office politics now. Budget is there.
The official announcement about Lynda Carter will come later. Maybe as extra grease to loosen the death grip on the HUGE thing, if Conroy doesn't do it.
He won't do it.
Are you talking about the rumored DCEU connection?
No Tom Welling?
Not DCEU, but DC films.
Assuming is the same poster as always, he's probably talking about Michael Keaton as Batman
Noice
One other movie star wants to play hero one last time too, even if it's just a few days filming for TV.
Reminder: Arrow is a prologue to COIE. Tom Welling will return here. Look for Dina Meyer to reprise her role as Oracle from the BoP TV show too.
Current DC films?
It could only be Momoa, Gadot or Miller. The rest are out.
Miller seems the most obtainable, but who the fuck would be hyped about that? Though it being a Flash makes the most sense.
That seems unlikely. But who knows?
I used to think Michael Keaton would refuse it, but he actually seems more open to doing fun stuff and about Batman lately
Would be very hard to do it regardless, due to execs bullshit
Has CW skimping on the budget for the shows all these years just for this?
I hope it has more lasting effects than one episode and just references to it like Flashpoint.
Well, in Flash's case, at least,, the new season is divided between Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis, the latter dealing with the consequences.
Why is LoT getting cucked by less episodes? I want my big tiddy muslim girlfriend!
Does Arrow have a shorter season? Assuming he'll die, what will they do after that for the rest of the season if it's a regular season?
10 episodes. Episode 8 is Crisis, according to earlier reports.
it flew under the radar but Diggle's actor implied Diggle might become a Green Lantern, or he'll appear as another Earth's John Stewart (like it was teased in Elseworlds by JWS Barry)
shiggy diggy
Schway
FUCK YES
I'm confused, I thought ALL of Arrow's final season was dedicated to this and that all shows would be doing the same. It's just the usual crossover?
I think they will only appear briefly (although each one will appear in different series so it might be a little more). But that's enough for me.
I only hope they don't get killed off in a montage or something. At least the main ones.
He's still alive, right?
>You have the lesbian character (Ivy)
Why do people keep spouting this meme?
Imagine if they mixed animation with live action and had DCAU characters appear
Paint over it like Cesar Romero and his moustache
I think all of Arrow will be focused on it but not the other series. They might build up to it in bits and pieces though.
Yes.
Michael Gray (Billy) too, he was even on DC Daily a while back.
The first half of the shows will build to the Crisis, especially Arrow. Those episodes are the actual crossover where it culminates. Afterwards, the shows will deal with the fallout.
>I want my big tiddy muslim BOYfriend
fixed it for ya
nuTeam Arrow of the future
I can dig it.
It's too thick of a beard for that.
but.. do we really want a CW green lantern show? With their budgets.. we would be lucky if we got 1 construct each episode.. and even then we would probably only get like.. 5 unique constructs with the rest being copies from previous episodes.
And to go through all of the GL rooster and figure out new sexualities, genderswaps, raceswaps.. geez. I would be horrible
but totally worth it if we get jailbait (and female) Arisia
All I need is for Conroy Batman to hear Hamil's laugh and lose his shit
I know it’s just the way comic book adaption and most tv/movies go these days and partly my own fault for reading posts on places like here, but I wish this would’ve been kept a secret. That could have been such a cool surprise
Hype is important for ratings.
The thing is, if they film in public, there's no way to keep things like this secret.
I don't think they'll do a GL show user. I think he will just appear briefly, which would be great fan service and nothing more.
Props to CW for actually trying cool stuff for Crisis. It could very well fall flat on its face, but cameos like this make it worth it
BASED
my main point about the post wasn't about them doing a Gl show. It was about how horrible it would be IF they made one.
"Hey guys, I know we are a corps of space cops but this week we are on earth!"
"Agan?"
"Shut up Killowog and turn on your hologram projector that makes you look like an fat/strong hispanic man!"
See? It would be bad
Doing a grounded GL show would be entirely in line with comics. And it doesn't cost that much to do sci fi show if they just reused sets, etc. And as Flash has shown, the longer the show goes on, the more they can do with CGI.
They could make an Alan Scott show set in the 40s. Maybe.
"Crisis" is episode 10, the series finale.
The CW Superhero guys know how to pander.
Too bad they don't know how to make a good show.
AIDS... unless that's a different Mia
>Batwoman
Wait, there's a Batwoman show? Is it just as bad as the other CW DC shows?
She got replaced by her brother in the season finale after the timeline changed.
Played by Will Friedle?
It's debuting in October.
>Pedowitz
nobody seems to remember to mention her
They have all the elements to make a good show, they just need to trust their audience, and keep it closer to the source material.
She's coming back. Apparently as a spoiled, arrogant internet celebrity in the new timeline.
Doesn't mean she ain't coming back, brother. Just in a different form.
What an unfortunate name
Clint would have been kino like 10 years ago
All I ask
They should digitally insert the actors into a scene from Batman 66 like they did on that episode of DS9
God, I love these two so much. No homo though.
Kevin Conroy looks like Clint, he even has the skin bump on his mouth
I thought this was confirmed?
I didnt know how bad I wanted this until now
i honestly still cant believe i lived to see COIE's adapted
i always thought this was the unadaptable comic
I don't think so
the movie might have had a small budget but I still think most of it was his appearance fee, and he still gets around
Michael Gray became a florist a long time ago, and his shop closed down more than a decade ago
I don't think he's still working, you have to respect that
She's literally playing a recurring character in Supergirl.
>So, Batman! Do you like sucking my dick as much as I like you sucking it! Ehahahahehahahehaa!
>mmmmf
>She's literally playing a recurring character in Supergirl.
I know, but nobody mentions that she could appear as Supergranny
>The #Arrow episode of the #CrisisOnInfiniteEarths crossover is #8.8. Co-written by
@mguggenheim
with the legendary
@marvwolfman
who wrote the original Crisis comic!!!
Here's the confirmation that Arrow's Crisis episode is episode 8, from the panel going on right now.
Marv Woflman also helped write the crossover, apparently.
Who was in the wrong here?
You're going to wish it was the unadapted comic once CW is done with it.
>I asked @mguggenheim about #Smallville re: #Arrow's Crisis: "It's such a big part of DC TV history. I would love to have at least one Smallville character in the crossover. I guess I can say every single day I have some conversation with some casting director or some agent"(1/2)
Kate Upton for Power Girl.
Can we get Burt Ward as Nightwing, or Batman?
We don't know his role yet but I bet it'll be as an older Dick, if not '66's specifically.
He’s 74
Tom and Michael are game and Eric Durance was already in Supergirl anyway
Could they get flashbacks scenes with David Mazouz as a younger version of this Bruce too?
I think although it might seem counterintuitive that she maybe can't.
Having an actor from an old show or movie appear as a new character is a nod to that actor's history and roles. Having them appear as a specific character - either the original in a given production, or a character which infringes on the rights *in that particular production* is a different thing.
For example, Harvey Keitel can sell insurance as "The Wolf" because someone at the insurance company's ad agency is good at contracts and licensed that from whoever owns Pulp Fiction now that Miramax is dead.
Having Helen Slater appear as "X Danvers" in another iteration of Supergirl is fine because Danvers is a name in the property and she's not playing Supergirl.
Having Helen Slater appear as "Supergirl" from or representative of the Salkind-produced Supergirl movie might not be possible *if* the Salkinds' rights to those movies they produced are still current and if they are unwilling to license the re-use of their own production, which, to be fair, they do own. WB holds the distribution rights to those movies of course which is some leverage, but it's a question of whether it's worth WB actually bothering to deal with the estate of two notoriously difficult producers.
This was for many years the problem with releasing the Batman tv show on home media - it was co-owned by three disparate companies - and is more widespread than you might think. Even today we have characters from the FOX-produced Gotham tv show who should, by rights, appear in this crossover, but won't because it's never been licensed to be produced that way.
Other characters - like Brandon Routh as the Salkind-derived Superman/Clark Kent - are fine because in their particular cases a movie has already been made (in fact two movies, Superman IV and Superman Returns) under the rights originally owned by the Salkinds, so any legal legwork that needed doing is already done. But Gotham remains a glaring omission.
Not yet.
He's appearing as an unnamed role. He might be Batman, but he'll probably be Old Ass Robin.
Aw.
This so much
DUDE. DOES THIS MEAN WE'LL GET BEYOND? THE CW COSTUME DESINGER SHARED THIS AGES AGO
I wonder if this means WB is being a cunt about it or if she refused due to schedulling conflicts (she's doing a few shows in September and October, which is probably when the crossover is going to be shot) or for another reason. The way it was phrased sounds like it's WB and their stupid embargo on Wonder Woman. Still hope it happens.
What about something like Mazouz playing Terry McGinnis? I really doubt BBeyond stuff was included in the license deal with FOX.
>black lightning involved
I guess the network stepped in and forced it
Damn I might have to come back and watch these shows again.
I doubt he's fit enough for such a physical role.
Ain't no way the finished product ends up looking anywhere near as good.
>Batman
>Black Lightning
This deal keeps getting better all the time!
Could they get Friedle in on this action too?
They already have her phone number from her recurring bit on Supergirl.
Alive and guest starring on Archer.
Give him the white hair and the gray turtleneck please.
God. I wish they had the budget to go with the enthusiasm and love of the material the CW has. This should have been what the MCU got, instead most people won't ever know it existed.
Report from Yahoo. Sounds like it's WB. Fuck them if it doesn't happen. Wonder Woman was produced by WB, so there's no issue on that front. I don't know if there's something about Marston's estate, but Lynda is an actual friend of the family and I think they would allow it. If it is truly their fault I'll never forgive them.
At least CosmicBookNews might have put a little pressure on them with how people reacted to the rumors.
Fuck yes.
Burt Ward is going to be... somebody. In pretty sure he was announced around SDCC.
Dean Cain has been blackballed by the CW SJW staff for being pro Trump and starring in that anti abortion movie.
That's why his character disappeared off of Supergirl.
At least Maxwell Lord's actor (I forgot his name) was off getting better pay elsewhere. (Still want him back though, more than Dean Cain.)
>the one person who watched gotham
I never watched any of these CW shows, but I might have to watch just these episodes at least.
I'm half-expecting a DC animated show or property to get referenced, probably Superfriends or Teen Titans GO!
Arrow Season 2 and Flash Season 1 is all you really should watch.
