Crisis On Infinite Earths: 36 Easter Eggs, Cameos And References You Probably Missed

28. Tommy And Laurel's Death Theme

Crisis on Infinite Earths
The CW

Oliver's triumphant last stand saw him fearlessly taking on a horde of Shadow Demons atop a building as he defended Earth-38 with everything he had. However, the melancholic but triumphant theme that played over the top of the scene had us all feeling incredibly emotional - and rightly so!

As a variation of the harrowing score that accompanied the deaths of Tommy Merlyn (Season 1) and Laurel Lance (Season 4), it is often saved for some of Arrow's heart-wrenching moments, and hearing it here reminded us all that Oliver's death was looming.

A reprise of the score also played when he told Mia, Diggle and Constantine that he couldn't leave Purgatory and bid them farewell.
