Death is coming. Worse than death: oblivion. Not just for our Earth, but for everyone, everywhere, in every universe! Against this ultimate destruction, the mysterious Monitor has gathered the greatest team of Super Heroes ever assembled. But what can the combined might of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern and hundreds of Super Heroes from multiple Earths even do to save all of reality from an unstoppable antimatter armageddon?!

Why it matters in DC

The first Crisis film opens a multi-part story in which the survival of more than one world is at stake. Its importance lies in bringing the Tomorrowverse's expanding scope into a single event whose development continues across the next two films.
