The Arrowverse's long-teased adaptation of DC's iconic Crisis On Infinite Earths tale kicked off in explosive fashion over on Supergirl this week. An event that the whole universe of shows had been building to for half a decade, it saw skies across the multiverse turn red as a massive wave of antimatter ravaged anything and everything in its path - leaving nothing behind.

However, The Monitor and Harbinger took it upon themselves to amass one of the most powerful teams that any universe had ever seen, putting together a league of heroes consisting of Green Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Superman, Batwoman, White Canary, The Atom and Mia Smoak. And while those heroes proved themselves a force-to-be-reckoned with, J'onn, Alex, Nia, Lena and Kelly all attempted to save everyone on Earth-38.

In the end, 'Crisis On Infinite Earths, Part One' was a fittingly shocking offering that did exactly what it was supposed to - leave the Arrowverse is a complete state of disarray.

Naturally, some of the world-changing occurrences have left fans shocked beyond belief. But what does it all mean?
