Will 'Elseworlds' introduce Batman in the Arrowverse? All about CW's annual crossover event
In the context of comics, 'Elseworlds' basically refers to the imprint that ran between 1989 and 2010 and dealt with 'what if...' scenarios and stories outside the DC continuity.
In less than a month's time, DC's superhero shows - especially the trinity 'Arrow,' 'The Flash,' and 'Supergirl' - will be returning on The CW with brand new seasons, making way for the much-anticipated Arrowverse crossover event of 2018.
Supposed to unfold over three nights in December (Dec 9, 10, and 11) the crossover special will not only align the three separate storylines but also introduce some gigantic plot twists that will decide the fate of the DC heroes in the remaining half of the season. Naturally, anticipation has been running high amongst fans. And in order to keep this buzz alive, the network recently released the official title of the Arrowverse crossover - 'Elseworlds.'
