With perhaps the best (if most dramatic) of any DC event in history, Crisis on Infinite Earths is what it says on the tin, covering a catastrophe that hits the entire multiverse, and ends up ending entire universes before it's done.

With heroes from both Earth-One and Earth-Two coming together to try and stop the collapse of existence as they know it, the stakes have never seemed as high - as we're not just witnessing the potential ending of the 'main' DC universe, but also every single alternative one imaginable, which is a disaster on an almost inconceivable scale.

The event was big enough to be to this day referred to as 'The Great Disaster', which is a pretty hefty statement, given that the superheroes seem to combat a world-ending threat every other afternoon.
