CW-Arrowverse Crossover 2019: CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS!

Get Shaq O'Neil to be Steel again.

Anti-Monitor looks like his original version from the first issues of COIE, when he looked like a robotic Monitor; but he also looks like Moebius, Anti-Monitor true form from Darkseid War.

Personally, I vote John Davey, but i’m Not sure how old those guys are now.

In their seventies. Both Bostwick and Davey are fit for their age, but I'm not sure what the standing policy on Captain Marvel/Shazam aging is.

One of the few complaints I ever had about Marv Wolfman's work is that he never came up with a name for Anti-Monitor. I mean, what is that even supposed to suggest? He doesn't monitor anything? Seems like he couldn't come up with a decent-sounding name and finally just threw his hands up and said screw it.

The name indeed doesn't signify very much, but on the printed page, it somehow looked very ominous and menacing. I think it's lack of meaning beyond suggesting negation is what made it so terrifying despite not literally meaning much.

The other complaint I have with Wolfman's work was how Teen Titans-centric COIE was. The Titans and their villains were far too prominent imo

The Titans themselves were barely featured in COIE proper (just a few short appearances in the first few issues, I recall). Psimon, I think, played an outsized role considering his relative lack of pedigree and history in the DC Multiverse at the time. Other than that, however, I did not find that the Titans and their affiliates played a particularly large role in COIE. In fact, I would say they were conspicuous through their relative absence.

This. A thousand times this.

I won't lie- I kinda wanted the helmet. But I'm not sure how it would work on screen.

I don't need the helmet, but giving him that kind of horrific shriveled face would be cool.

Titans in Crisis, Titans in Crisis...

Going from memory:

- Cyborg was one of the initial batch of heroes and villains dragged up by the Monitor
- Changeling got sent with the group to Earth-S to recruit the Marvels
- Starfire got sent with the group to Earth-X to recruit the Freedom Fighters
- Raven healed Wildcat (or did she? I seem to remember that)
- Hawk and Dove got some screen time as Dove was killed
- Aqualad and Aquagirl got screen time when Tula was killed
- Kid Flash was, of course, all over the place
- Speedy kept popping up (although sometimes miscolored as the Earth-2 Green Arrow)
- Kole got kilt, 'cause that was kind of her job
- Plasmus got to do major damage to Steel
- Psimon was called up to the Monitor's satellite, and later got himself killed by Brainiac. Which is good, 'cause Psimon was a weasely putz.
- I think Mammoth and Shimmer got lines.
- Dick and Donna may have been the Titans with the smallest footprint.

They weren't dominant AS Titans, but they definitely were peppered throughout. Of course, they WERE the best thing DC had going at the time, so y'know, it kind of made sense. Not doing so would be like having Secret Wars without featuring the X-Men.

Is he really the Anti-Monitor without the helmet, though?

I noticed that in COIE, it seems like while nearly all DC heroes took part in the event, they took part as individuals and not as members of their usual teams. As you observed, the Titans were there, but only briefly were they seen together as a unit. Similarly, nearly every member of the Justice League and Justice Society was featured in COIE, but they did not battle the Anti-Monitor as their usual team units, but as individuals or a very loose coalition of individuals.

Would it be too much to hope for that all the actors appeared together with the arrowverse characters? I could care less about welling, but psyched for everyone else.

When's Dean Cain Superman?

[AnakinFlair]

When's Dean Cain Superman?

I get the feeling that Dean said something that pissed off the producers, and now they don't want to bring him back. Hell, when was the last time anyone mentioned Jeremiah on Supergirl? He came back for a two parter 2 seasons ago, and then vanished.
