8 DC Storylines That Could Compete With Marvel's Infinity War

2. Crisis On Infinite Earths

DC Stories
DC Comics

If DC decides it wants to put all of its superhero eggs in one basket, one storyline they could adapt is Crisis on Infinite Earths. Crisis deals with the rise of the colossal Anti-Monitor, on his quest to destroy the DC Multiverse. DCs Multiverse is an important part of its history, as it provides many answers to questions having to do with continuity, as it explains that there is more than one version of earth. That means more than one version of our favorite heroes. Stories can be written that take our traditional characters on outrageous rides, with the caveat that it is an “Elseworld” story, or a story taking place on an alternate earth.

It would be a treat to see multiple versions of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman from various Earths. This tale also gives DC a rare opportunity to start fresh, as it could be explained that the events of Man of Steel through Wonder Woman, took place in an alternate earth. This would be a bold move by creators, but one that will allow them a fresh start if they need it. The arc itself has a lot of action and destruction, as mirror universes are destroyed and heroes murdered in this cosmic epic
