I’ve followed the Tomorrowverse hoping for this moment: the adaptation of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez’s legendary Crisis. Instead, I got 90 minutes of directionless setup that completely fails to establish the multiverse-shattering stakes this story demands.
The original comic was an emotional powerhouse that redefined DC Comics. This adaptation strips away every element that made Crisis special: the cosmic scope, the emotional weight of losing entire worlds, the genuine sense of universal threat. Characters feel like they’re sleepwalking through their own apocalypse.
Part One should establish the Crisis itself… the Anti-Monitor, the wave of destruction, heroes uniting across realities. Instead, we get generic superhero plotting that could be any random Justice League story. No setup for the actual crisis means no investment in what’s coming.
The voice acting remains okay (Jensen Ackles, Stana Katic), and animation quality stays consistent. But when you’re adapting one of comics’ greatest achievements and delivering something this emotionally hollow, technical competence isn’t enough.
Disappointing start to what should have been the Tomorrowverse’s triumphant finale.
