This story is the most ambitious thing I've ever seen in my life, reuniting almost every DC character ever to fight 1 guy? Absolutely stunning
Dude...Crisis on Infinite Earth's is one of the single most brilliant & intricate stories of all time...for either Marvel or DC! Often duplicated & built upon, as it is truly the foundation for every single new DC story to come out, New 52 or Rebirth!
I just love that Barry goes so fast that he literally becomes lightning, travels back in time and hits himself, turning himself into the Flash. That means that Barry Allen is the Flash because Barry Allen is the Flash.
Paradox
He is the best character. He's his own creator
One of the best stories in DC...If not one of the best comic book storylines of all time.
GothamKnightRX no
@@osiancoleman8447 name a better one
denharo francis I can name many infinite crisis is actually better,identity crisis is better,all grant Morrison’s and Scott Snyder’s batman runs r better,all mark waids flash run is better, watchmen is better,all Geoff Johns books r basically better, all star superman is better, Tom king’s mister Miracle and Grayson r better, Alan mores swamp thing is better, Gail Simmon’s secret sic run is better, marv Wolfman and George Perez’s titans run has some better stories must I go on? There r so so many
Osian Coleman that ain’t it chief
Osian Coleman The ones that you’ve named aren’t even close to COIE imo.
When I finally able to read Crisis on Infinite Earths, I found that I loved it! Despite juggling so many characters and Earths around, I never found it too cluttered and busy, and the sheer scope was awesome for what the story was trying to do. It's a great story, especially since it's a well-handled one for rebooting continuity.
Infinity war: I’m going to kill half of the universe
SSBU: I’m going kill all characters
Crisis on infinite earth: Lol That’s cute
Bunny Man 😂😂
Well shit
What’s ssbu?
@@Shockwave99999 smash bros ultimate
What I love about DC is that if necessary they Reboot everything, that only similarity that I remember from Anime is Stone Ocean.

One of my all time favorite comic panels. Supes has just had enough.
Kinda bummed you left out a fair bit of the last fight. A lot of cool scenes there, like what goes on with Darkseid and others.
I think that's how the flash TV show should end with Barry stopping a super weapon and him stuck in the speed force turning into lightning then it going back to the very first episode but with the main and supporting cast who were in the city that night looking up at the star labs accident. Barry narrating about the lessons he learned over the series ending with a PoV shot of the lightning bolt zooming towards the crime lab. And the final words you hear is "My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive or I will be in a moment." cut to black just as the lightning hits Barry with the main theme horns.
Holy shit, the description is real.
Sounds like a sad depressing lots of crying ending
Nice
But didn't that happen when the flash fought the reverse flash back and went back in time.
I think it wouldn't be making sence anymore because Eobart Thawne made that lighting to hit Barry because he want to make The Flash
coming to this after the CW reveal!!
Did you comeback? Lol
@@95blckfirebird1 the world may never know
I find myself realizing more and more everyday just how little I know about this stuff.... Its amazingly baffling just how deep and intricate all of this is, not just in this series but in all of the comics in general. Great content!
It's great to know Ultron crossed into DC due to this crisis 20:31.
SHENRON REAPER No one can run from my nigga Ultron!
SHENRON REAPER Small mistake, but I had to run it back twice to make sure that was what I heard
SHENRON REAPER well I guess someone had to beat me to it
For reference: 20:29
SHENRON REAPER Glad someone else caught that too lol
When Ultron and Brainiac are super similar so you mix them up XD It's chill bro I get ya
20:30, for everyone looking for it
There is DC Ultron.
The new Crisis on infinite Animation dropped
I think You mean Branic getting Luthor to his ship, Not Ultron Rob. But I really Love this video. Please make 1 for Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.
Or just a overview of 80's Titans in general and why it was so awesome.
Mostafa Farweez i was just about to say that
That bamboozled me too
Judas Contract had no right being that fun to read
Mostafa Farweez yeah...I caught that too!🤔
I really wasn't a huge DC fan grew up on marvel but I do appreciate your page you really caught me up to speed with DC and I must say really do like it so just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work
lol ultron so strong he can travel in between comics and kidnap people
Caught that too. We all know he meant Braniac. :P
I rewinded it too lol he said Ultron
Not that strong
Had to rewind it 3 times just to be sure he actually said Ultron
It's funny cuz we all know what he means when he has those little slip-ups I heard a couple other ones where he meant to refer to DC but he said Marvel but it's okay we love you Rob keep it in Mile High
This is the best characterisation of Barry Allen,Darksied and supergirl.
This was the GREATEST series in comic book history! My first exposure to heroes dieing! The battles! Then the Golden Age Superman finally ending the Anti-Monitor! Greatest of all time and forever my favorite!
This story is why I started collecting comics. I was in my senior year in high school seventeen years old, saw Crisis on Infinite Earths #1. At that time I had very little knowledge of the Multiverse in DC. After buying issue #1 I was hooked. Thanks for the upload.
One of the greatest - and maybe most complex - stories told in comics to that date and compares favorably to anything published since. I can remember buying every issue as it came out. It was a great read.
Crisis on Infinite Earth video is fun walk down memory lane for those of us who read it an issue at a time for a year when it first came out. Thanks!
When this was originally published it was one of the most anticipated comics ever produced. It was great story-telling
Thank you for this explanation. With COIE coming to the Arrowverse this fall, I was eager to get some "cliff notes" version of what 12 comics worth of material had. This was at the very least, a good start, at most, a very detailed explanation. I'll probably watch this again in a few weeks to re-refresh it, it really is a lot to take in.
Crisis On Infinite Earths was my first major DC Comics event. Since I was fairly new to DC at the time, I figured it was just another JLA/JSA team up. I didn't expect anything would change, and no one would die. Man, I was wrong! I never missed an issue. I loved it.
Since I was new to DC, Who's Who , a series that started around the same time, helped me learn who some of the characters were.
Who is here after the CW announced the crossover for next year?
Chris Houston me
Me
the next year's crossover will be the BEST ONE ever made 😉😉
Elseworlds was good too

@@CodeAwesome28 Crisis On Infinite Earths
This is by far my favorite DC crossover event story ever.
Wellcome to the greatest clusterfuck in history of comics.
Mr. Pink lmao
Mr. Pink thats why they call it crisis
Was this the First Big Crossover Event!!
Gabriel Toribio No. The First really Big crossover was The Original Secret Wars.
Gabriel Toribio
No joke this was one of the first 5 conics I read my local library had the trade and dang was it epic
Really m8, "Ultron, who is still alive in the netherverse"
20:31
PsychoPavilion He meant braniac.
He can't keep that marvel fanboy away for too long :|
its alright, we´re all nerds here
Doru I've never heard anything more true
when this was out in the mid 80's i went back and collected each issue that happened in the past. since my first issue of the crisis on infinite earths was already on i think issue 10 so i went back and collected the previous issues. wasn't easy to get since in my city their was no comic book stores except one which was a guy who had a bunch of lots of old and older comics book non bagged and boarder just in boxes and was in small shop in near the Spokane fox theater. i got a couple from him if i remember right or from local book stores had a section of old comics books to buy . wasn't till around 1988 i found a local comics store were i think i got the rest of the crisis on infinite earths issues since i only started out on 10 and the lat 2 issues.
That's amazing man
@@Dimmary thxs i'm middle age i was just a teenager at the time around 16 or 17 was a DC comics reader and collector from 1986 till 1992. and yes i still most my DC comics except few i sold like my D & D comics and elf quest comics and at the time i was collecting both marvel and DC comics at the time. but i sold or traded most my marvel comics off and most my marvel conman comics. i just kept a very few wolverine number one issue and the very first x men comic issue that Jim lee did and signed by him and some other comics like the hellraiser comics based on the movies and undertaker comics and some adult and lovecraft comics.
Finally, I was waiting for one of the comic channels to cover this story, I know he's not the first, but his explanations are detailed, with full comic panels throughout, and great narration which helps the flow of the story. I guess I was waiting for him to cover the story.
RIP Barry Allen. He came back to life, but it took so long.
Poor, poor, Prof Zoom.
The flash is honestly the best hero in DC. Hands down, he's the guy you can rely on when the chips are down and he can outrun any danger even death literally.
Deadpool902 For me its Superman. His death by doomsday is a testament to that.
They're both great ✌🏻️😊👍🏻
Nightwing
Deadpool902 Agreed, Supes is shit
RaginDXDemon supes "died" to save earth, Barry "died" to save the multiverse, I wonder what's the difference there... 🤔
Crisis on Infinite Earths was a very bittersweet story. On the one hand, it was a well-told story and led to the best status quo in DC history. On the other hand, I loved all those crazy Earths and was sad to see them go. I know they were a roadblock to new readers, but all those wild stories had so much imagination and potential. And this was great final send-off to some of those crazy characters of yesteryear like Cave Carson, etc.
So, since I don't think they can do this story justice (Ha) in 3 or 4 episodes, I'm hoping that this will be the main focus of all the shows next season. They did specifically say coming in fall of 2019. Imagine a crossover SEASON. I'd be stoked for it.
I really like Black Lightning!! Feel he’s a bit underrated
Extremely underrated.
After tonight’s episode I almost cried for him 😭
@@Geo2wavey You Know What's even Sadder. That in Addition to Supergirl Ending with Season 6 in 2021. Black Lightning Will be also be Ending After Season 4.
I like Captain Atom and Freedom Fighters.
Is he underrated... In your pants?
All new comments shall now be anyone form elseworld.
YESSIR!! Had to know why Psycho Pirate was so important to the story.
I'm here from the CW Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earth's trailer
WOAH, what a pleasant f*cking surprise. Great story to do for classic DC
The arkham series has brought me back to this channel with hopes of discovering all there is to know about DC. thanks rob! much respect
I was litreally searching for this on youtube but didn't find any satisfactory videos thanks for uploading
I dont know how you would figuratively search for a video as opposed to literally
Anyone coming here after Elseworlds?
Colin Clevenger ya😂
Yes
Well duhh I watched this last year but I need that refresher for next year.......this probably not the last time I watch this vid either
yah lol
Squad!!!
Barry's sacrifice was heartbroken.
That's how you recognize a hero!
Both he and Supergirl had great deaths in this series. Those were bold moves because at the time they were meant to be permanent. Nowadays when someone dies you know they’re coming back in a year or two.
They killed a Husbando and a Waifu.
absolutely loved your telling of the story. You left things out that didn't affect the overall plot one way or another ie; the flash. I'm sure many listeners and readers of the story would agree when Superman punched the Antimonitor out of existence initial response was "why didn't he do that 11 issues ago". Then reality sets in and "oh yeah we wouldn't have a story". Keep up the great work, you're the next closest in the comic book community to reach a milly in sub's good luck brother and Rob Corps SPREAD THE WORD!!!
40 min vid... *rolls medically legal joint, pours drink*
let's go my dude.
Illegal*
It's legal where I am
Why do you need marijuana and alcohol to watch a 40 minute video? Are you an alcoholic or drug addict that requires nullification just to watch a video? That's pathetic. Grow up and overcome your weaknesses.
@@RockandrollNegro you should compete in the olympics with that ability to jump to conclusions
This book is fn amazing. Perez is the man. Those page layouts are sooooo dope
The crossover event of crossover events. Probably the DC Multiversity will never be at such much stakes like Crisis on Infinite Earths. Is there one reason I love the DCU, is its complicated but still complex universe, that when you deeply explore it, is a great experience.
Man, the amount of time and effort that you put in to your work is really the best in comics anywhere I've ever heard of. No kiss ass, just wanted to say that I really appreciate the work you do and I couldn't imagine UA-cam without you. I think I may have watched all your videos. You have increased my understanding of this medium. I've purchased many TP and HC from watching your videos.
You should do Crisis on two earths, infinite crisis, final crisis and convergence. In fact, you should highlight the 52 earths.
Man. I know this video is probably older then I am. But I'm just here to say thank you and kudos for such a video. I really like your explanation, I really got to not only enjoy, but understand. Also, the pace you talk is not slow or mysterious as some newer people do, so it helped me a lot on maintaining focus.
Finally someone will explain this cluster fuck
I recommend reading it. It's not as hard to understand as it reputation makes out and it's pretty cool to read. It's like reading a bit of important history you know?
Plus it makes infinite crisis hit home a lot more.
***** I tried it once years ago but I didn't make it through....
Empolyon 2 That's fine. It is very talky like all comics of the time were.
There's nothing really hard to understand about CIOE. I understood it well enough when I was 12. Final Crisis is far more confusing without reading the tie ins. Especially the sudden appearance of Mandrakk, unless you have read Superman Beyond.
empolyon2
If you think THIS is a clusterfuck, I would recommend staying away from Multiversity.....
Wish I could like this video again after rewatching it. So informative and well delivered for a lot of content
Good job Rob!!! Please Keep e explaining this big events...
this was one of my favorite stories when I was younger. THANK YOU so much for covering it.
this should have gotten a two hour treatment. I remember this series and got each issue as it came out and there is so much more that could have been covered. No tthat you didnt do a good job on this, Rob...i love your narrative and it would have gone so much farther with a greater time run.
good job though :)
I cannot even imagine how insanely hard to comprehend this story would have been in monthly installments in a pre-internet age.
Ah, so that's where they got part of the story for Lego DC Super Villains, I had no idea it tied into Crisis on Infinite Earths!
I was in grade school in 85. I wasn't into comics, but my best friend Shawn was, big time. I remember how excited he was about the upcoming Crisis event.
cant believe i watched whole thing. you have a great voice
Exactly!!! I’ve wanted to get into comics for years!!! But I have no idea where the hell to start and know if I just picked up a comic I’d have no idea what’s going on. You sir I completely thank you for these videos. You are an awesome person
Discrepency on Superboy Prime (SP). During Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985), SP wasn't stronger than the other Supermen. Their strengths matched their ages. After the Crisis, Superman's strength was vastly reduced for the sake of being able to challenge him in stories. Over the years building up to Infinite Crisis (2005), Superman had regained "SOME" of his previous power, but was still not as powerful as his Silver Age version. Keep in mind, this was depending on the writer at any given time, and Superman's powers fluctuated a lot. But for Infinite Crisis, the idea was that he was still less powerful than the Silver Age version. So, when Modern Age Superman met SP, SP still had that Silver Age power, and the Modern Age version did not. This vast difference in power, along with being a "Super" in the first place, is why SP was able to mop the floor with so many other heroes, and never take a scratch.
It's shocking that Supergirl was stronger than other Supermen here but was weak when she returned in 2005.
@@supergirlvideoclips894 Replying a mere 4 years later, she wasn't -- that's an incorrect conclusion (or maybe a little girlie pandering) by Rob.
Rob, first off thank you for this video! COIE is my favorite comic book story, I love the stuff you've been uploading and I hope you do a infinite crisis video!
DC elseworlds anyone?
ZestyFruit Loops bro did u just see what popped up
Lucio YT no what was it
ZestyFruit Loops yeah after the three parter and all the buzz about this story coming (many people have been saying this was expected), I needed to learn what this is all about.
yep that's how I found this video
Yep, I saw this video back when he first uploaded it, but now I had to refresh my memory and rewatch it since its been officially confirmed Crisis on Infinite Earths is coming next year which we kind of already knew, but now with the end of Elseworlds we know for sure.
rob. this story got me into comics. I listen to your videos all night at work. Your channel is my favorite thanks man.
I was waiting so damn long for this
Rob that was a pretty tight video.i was glad you did a video on Pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths video,many people forget there wouldn't be new 52 and Rebirth without the Original Continuity and Multiverse. I think that's more important than what they have out now
I just realized how much the most recent Secret Wars was very close to this story.
Andrew Iverson marvel always stole from DC
@@doctorlegend3921 I agree
Not mention civil war rip offs kingdom come
Dark reign and necrosha rip offs blackest night
House of M ripoffs zero hour
Secret invasion heavenly inspired from Millenium
Original sin rip offs identity crisis
The Omega Effect Idk what any of those are or who copied who but I do know marvel and D.C. steal from each other so much
dhamin iqbal basically a reference point of the comic book plots/storylines or concepts which marvel were influenced by and therefore copied. And recreated their own version of the originals source material which dc has prewritten
Hey man.... comprehensive and articulate! Subscribed :-)
I never really followed these books, but I’m with the CW shows since day 1, and now I needed to learn about this storyline that is coming up next year. Lots of ‘tubers who comment on the shows have been saying this is coming.
CW is gonna mess it up. I can already tell. They don’t even have half of the Justice League yet
Just came to watch after the 2024 Movie "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three" I wanted to know the differences between comics and the Tomorrowverse Movies.
Robb I just wanted to thank you for being so charming, helpful and understanding. These videos have helped me so much in my quest to really get into comics but whilst Im still a broke college student your fantastic narrations and boundless knowledge is something truly spectacular, so thank you thank you so very much!!
I'm excited how the arrowverse handles this story
I love the Crisis stories and having it condensed like this was fantastic to witness! Thank you Rob!
you said ultron, I think u meant brainiac
he is a marvel fan so sometimes he make those mistakes
fishmail8 I think we can agree that Rob knows each character inside and out. I didn't notice until you typed it, I think my brain did what Rob's did and it evened itself out, lol.
20:30, for everyone looking for it
fishmail8 ultrons presence is felt in DC universe
When you have read the comics and seem to not get the whole picture and misunderstood some of the things here is rob dissecting and explaining it all to u.
Rob is a blessing to us all.
You cover these arcs on point, good stuff
btw, 20.48 i think you meant Brainiac, you said Ultron..
I’m a new gen comic reader and just couldn’t get into the older comics, so this video was a life saver.
I just got the blackest night omnibus, so I have some catching up to do haha
Hey Rob could you do a video on INFINITE CRISIS?. I really want to see what happens next for them.
Comic Pop has a Back Issues on it. Rob also did a video on Super Boy Prime which covers most of the important beats of that story.
pious83 i did see the episode about superboy prime, but i want him to explain about Infinite Crisis and what happened in that story. Plus i like listening to his voice when his explains comic book stories.
Yeah that would be great
Ultron?
TotalDarkness infinite crisis is 20 years later in real time. It isn't rlly a proper sequel cuz like the thousands of Dc comics stories up until that point r the sequels. Infinite crisis basically comes in the aftermath of identity crisis even tho identity crisis is in a rlly small (for comics) personal scale. What rob didn't mention in his video was that after identity crisis there was a JLA story where batman finds out about what they did to him in identity crisis and creates brother eye to prevent them from doing it again. Which results in infinite crisis
About time someone did my most favorite Comic Book Saga of all time! Thank you!!!
DC/CW Elseworlds brought me here.
The Anti-Monitor will rise.
Ready Player Two The dude who gets defeated by Superboy Prime?
@@alirahman8642 Homer: Yeah. Think about it.
Ready Player Two Lmao... How are they supposed to introduce Anti-Monitor when they barely have half of the Justice League? Ok well I guess they’re not really needed. But the main reason for COIE in the comics was because there were too many Universes. In the Arrowverse, they said that there were “infinite earths”, and then in Crisis On Earth X, they say that there’s 52 Earths, but “X” is the one that was newly found, which makes it 53, iirc. Now in the comics, there were INFINITE UNIVERSES in the DC Multiverse, which was too many. So to get rid of them, they created the “COIE”. Anti-Monitor destroyed most of DC, and that resulted to the “New 52” Arc. I bet they won’t even have the Anti-Monitor in the CW😂
@@alirahman8642 well there's 52 earths that are different. The rest are mirror earths. Each earth has it's set of mirror earths that is the exact same. Oh and new earths can be created. That was mentioned in season 2 of the flash when they talked about new earths being created due to changing the timeline. I remember them saying flashpoint exists and is still going on at another earth. So the infinite earths could just be coppies that don't matter to the universe or it could be lazy writing.
That sweet sweet Perez art.
who’s here because next episode is going to be crisis on infinite earths
Edit: Now who’s here after it ended
Stfu
Yup lol
Phunshuk Wangdu what’s your issue lol
Same
Phunshuk Wangdu what’s the problem punk?
Loved the infinite earths story one of the biggest i read as a kid...i also read the infinity gauntlet story from Marvel around same time...still two of my favorites.
Always enjoyed how thorough you are
Impressive job in recapping the events of this classic story (one of my favorites) into a video, man. I'm a huge DC fan and have become moreso in recent years. I just love its vast and complicated history. It almost feels like reading Tolkien. Great great great video. I'll have to reread COIEs again on the DC app. Would love to hook you up with an art print. I'm a working designer and illustrator and do gallery work where I often use my love for DC as inspiration. Let me know and keep up the good work.
I'm here to refresh my Crisis memory for next year's crossover!
I swear
What a narration! besides what a story. I am writing a thesis for the post-crisis era comics and you absolutely nailed it.
20:25 lol Guardians and Ulton X-over OMG lol
I was just wee child when this came out (ok, I was a teeen) but the impact of this at the time was mindblowing
And to know the CW is doing this now for the Arrowverse,
it's a Gen Xers wet dream...
more or less
This is kinda random, but you should go back to your original intro, shit was flames 🔥👌 (great vid btw)
I'm convinced only you could have explained all that in a way that kept my attention and made me understand. Thanks, Rob. 👍🏻
Lol. You called Brainiac Ultron
quincy moore and several times he said marvel instead of DC

ARYAN WAYNE crisis in infinite earths confirmed for fall 2019
@@xfrostbite935x9 so excited
I enjoyed the video; not least because it brought it all back, I still remember reading it with a passionate enjoyment as the plot leaped graceful from cliff hanger to cliff hanger; punctuated by the always moving deaths of several major heroes.
The first and still the best.
And when I compare the lazy, increasingly tedious and unimaginative drivel, (the New 52 is awful and the villains were all jokes, but hey lets have yet another big guy, self-important and fustian sitting on a ruined skyscraper; like we've never seen that one before,) that Morrison in particular is insulting people with it's even better than I remember.
Good story, I'm surprised on how great the artwork is. What was that about a Bat-Auction?
Flash ending should be reverse flash coming for the first time in the past and decide to fight, the flash because he knows that he is going to die at this very moment. He fails and then go back in time ( flash follows him) at the same moment as the engine that would wipe out
multiverse explode which is why the newspaper says that Flash vanished in an explosion of light. Reverse flash goes back in time to kill Barry but kill his mother instead and get stuck into the past. As for Flash I don't know.
red tornado has such a cool back story
Thank you for doing this storyline!
Ah, Crisis of Infinite Earths. Now THAT'S how you end a super hero universe. Not that anemic Flash story called Flashpoint.
Well rebirth is fixing that. In DC Rebirth Wally tells Barry that creating flashpoint didn't create the new 52. Somone used flashpoint to mess with the universe
+YvesTheKoala Wasnt it Doctor Manhatten?
travis oliver Thats one of the theories. We haven't found out yet
No, it was Dan DiDio
