Notes
- This episode is the first part of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover and continues in the Batwoman episode "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Two".
- As it was previously foreshadowed, Oliver Queen dies in Crisis.
- Similarly to the The Flash (1990) TV show, introduced to the Multiverse in the Elseworlds crossover after a past glimpse in the Speed Force[1], other DC's TV and movie properties are shown to be part of the Multiverse.
- Earth-9 is shown to be the universe of the Titans TV show, featuring the cameos of Curran Walters and Alan Ritchson as Jason Todd and Hank Hall.
- Earth-66 seems to refer to the Batman (1966) TV show with Burt Ward returning as an aged Dick Grayson.
- Earth-89 seems to refer to Tim Burton's Batman movie series with Robert Wuhl returning as Alexander Knox and the picture cameo of Michael Keaton as the Batman.
- Russell Tovey also cameos as The Ray from the Crisis on Earth-X crossover.
Trivia
- There are some callbacks to the original Crisis on Infinite Earths:
- The Monitor's monologue of the birth of the Multiverse is very similar to the one from the first pages of Crisis on Infinite Earths #1.
- Clark and Lois sends their son Jonathan away as Alexander Luthor, Sr. and his wife Lois did with their son Alex Luthor at the beginning of the original event.
- Nash Wells had already freed the Anti-Monitor from his prison and he had now become Pariah, similarly to his comics' counterpart Kell Mossa aka Pariah who liberated the Anti-Monitor.
- The death of Oliver Queen by the Shadow Demons mirrors the end of Oliver Queen of Earth-Two in Crisis on Infinite Earths #12.
- The Earth designation of some realities are references to important years:
- Earth-16 is named after 2016 that is year that DC's Legends of Tomorrow episode Star City 2046 first aired.
- Earth-66 is named after 1966 which is the year that the Batman TV show premiered.
- Earth-89 is named after 1989 which is the year that the movie Batman was released.
- Titans' Earth-designation as Earth-9 might be inspired by the number of Titans alive by the end of Season 2.
- Despite its appearance as Earth-89, this universe is slightly different from the one depicted in the movies as the Joker is referred to be still alive while he was killed at the end of Batman.
- The Ray survived Earth-X's annihilation and became part of The Monitor's forces.[3].
- It was confirmed that the Legends had already travelled through the Multiverse when they arrived on future Star City.[4]. However, Earth-16's depiction is different as Oliver did not recognized Sara from their previous encounter.
- It may have happened some kind of reality-altering event, like the Flashpoint on Earth-1, that changed the timeline of this reality so that this Oliver never encounter Sara and J.J. Diggle never became Green Arrow.
