Will DC greenlight a 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' movie? Franchise reportedly had event planned before WB merger
'Crisis on Infinite Earths' was one of DC's major crossover events and was looked at as a massive event since it was introduced in 'The Flash's pilot season. Going by the comics, the series was a 12-issue mini-series that focused on the greatest battle in cosmic history. And before the WB merger, DC Films reportedly had plans to make a movie of the event.
DC has been hamstrung by the recent spate of negative news it's found itself embroiled in. From the cancellation of 'Batgirl' to Ezra Miller's never-ending troubles, it's been a tough couple of months for the superhero franchise. Per a report by THR, WB Discovery's proposed '10-year-plan' for the DC Universe is still unclear, but reportedly had plans for a 'Crisis' event that was part of DC Films president Walter Hamada's plans who almost quit after 'Batgirl's quashing.

The report though doesn't necessarily delve more into the 'Crisis' movie which already had a hit run as part of The CW's Arrowverse. It did include a surprise cameo from Miller's Flash and the latest update has had fans wondering if there would be a movie in the works — something that may, per Comicbook's Jenna Anderson, "fix or reset various components of continuity." With Michael Keaton set to suit up as Batman in 'The Flash', there were whispers of 'Crisis' as a full-length feature flick, but much of that is pure speculation at the moment.
Talking at the DC FanDome China last year, The Flash director Andy Muschietti said: "I can't tell you a lot about the future of this, the future of the Multiverse in DC, but I can tell you I'm very excited about it as a filmmaker cracking this acorn and opening the window to new adventures in the Multiverse is super exciting,"
"The Multiverse has been a thing in the comic book world for decades, and decades, and decades, and I think it's a good time to take it into [the movies]. It's also very special that our Multiverse is not just a Multiverse of characters, it's a Multiverse of films. It's a cinematic Multiverse as you might already know by looking at the names that are showing up like Michael Keaton reprising his role as Batman, it's very exciting and one of the reasons that I got closer and closer to this project."
