Crisis On Infinite Earths

The problem with Crisis on Infinate Earths is that for being the largest tale they ever told, one that spanned the history of DC Comics, that it's really  just another Flash story and the past five years have been full of Flash stories all over the media. From  live action to animation, it's seemed like no other heroes were doing much of anything. It's not Crisis' fault that the Flash has a huge role in the original comic book 12 parter.  Not one aspect of the history of the DCU was ignored or rebooted at the time. It's the story you have to read if you are a fan of the DCU and it's characters like Superman and Batman. This is only part one two so maybe this is just the background we need while part two ramps up the action and involves  more of the villians and heroes you have to work with here., It's sorta a big tease for more which I hope they can deliver. That is why this is my least favorite animated feature from DC Animation and Warner Bros. Their animation style looks rushed and heavily outlined. Unfinished.

I just don't know why they're doing this now when they rebooted their animated universe just a couple of years ago. Rushed animation seems appropriate for a rushed story.

I wish they could have designed it more in line with George Pérez' beautiful artwork rather than something that would appears in the animated series, Archer... 😟 I think I'll pass on this one and just re-read the book series.
