Why Crisis on Infinite Earths should have been a movie
There are several key factors that may have helped the crossover
The main aspect of Crisis on Infinite Earths that would have been better as a movie is the budget of the project. The Arrowverse didn’t have enough money to make the crossover reach the huge level of excitement of the comics, which is reflected in moments like Crisis’ climactic final fight in a quarry. A bigger budget could have led to more epic action set pieces to really set the high stakes of a multiverse-ending event.
Better CGI, some meaningful characterization, more enticing action sequences, and a tighter script might have made Crisis on Infinite Earths the best live-action superhero crossover to date.
The bigger budget could also be used to get more stars to come back as their DC characters for the crossover. The Arrowverse team tried to get as many DC live action characters as possible for the crossover. There were some great moments, with Tom Welling and Erica Durance returning as Clark Kent and Lois Lane Smallville Being one of them. However, many of the cameos were either from minor characters or came in the form of archive footage.
A Crisis on Infinite Earths movie may have been the ultimate form of the crossover in live-action. Better CGI, some meaningful characterization, more enticing action sequences, and a tighter script might have made Crisis on Infinite Earths the best live-action superhero crossover to date. Still, what Arrowverse Managed to achieve with the crossover was unprecedented, and even with only one DCEU Character appeared in it, there was enough in the event to please a wide range of fans, which is what it was all about in the first place.
