CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths

Deadline: Erica Durance To Reprise ‘Smallville’ Lois Lane Role In Arrowverse Crossover On the CW

Erica Durance is joining her Smallville co-star Tom Welling in the CW’s upcoming DC Arrowverse crossover. She will be reprising her role as Lois Lane in multiple episodes of the five-night event.

The crossover will reveal where Weeling’s Clark Kent and Durance’s Lois Lane characters are almost 10 years after Smallville. While the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover will feature multiple versions of Clark Kent/Superman in different time frames, played by Welling, Tyler Hoechlin and Brandon Routh, I hear there are no plans for multiple incarnations of Lois Lane played by actresses who had previously portrayed her, like Teri Hatcher.

[Michael Heide]

They can't get Reeve, but this is great.

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

Wow. That looks...great.

[Andrew NDB]

Kind of makes me sad, you know? If "Superman Returns" hadn't been a stillborn turd -- which wasn't his fault, one bit -- we'd be onto like Brandon Routh Superman movie #6 by now.

Superman returns again. He looks great and I've always liked Brandon Routh as Superman. This suit looks like a hybrid of the Kingdom Come and the Superman Returns suits. I'm happy for Routh and I'm glad to see a continuation of his Superman. In my opinion SR is a good movie and is very underrated. I just hope he doesn't get screwed over by the CW's bad writing and be treated like John Wesley Shipp's The Flash was in last season's crossover. That was unforgivable.

I'm really thinking the Routh Kingdom Come Superman might be the backbone of the whole crossover. He's the only actor that's "on the payroll," remember... the rest are all (like we've learned from Michael Rosenbaum's story) likely to be tiny cameos.

[Michael Heide]

Rosenbaum didn't know if it would have been more than a tiny cameo. Negotiations stopped before he found out how meaty the part would have been. But I don't expect huge roles for Burt Ward, Lynda Carter or Kevin Conroy. Although it would be cool. If they have them on set anyway, they might as well go for broke.

wonder if they'll put all the CoIE episodes in one box-set?

[Andrew NDB]

I can't tell if that Routh-as-Kent has the white sideburns. If not, does that mean he's playing THREE characters?

#1: Ray Palmer
#2: Kingdom Come Superman
#3: Donnerverse Superman

Then again, might be a flashback to when Lois dies in the Kingdom Come story.

It's possible, but unlikely. They've been putting all the crossover episodes on each individual show's season sets for the last few years, so you don't have to buy all of the shows just for your favorite show's completion. Only Invasion! and Crisis on Earth-X were released on their own, though, and those were just via digital services, so at best I'd say they might do that, but yeah... a physical release of just the crossover is unlikely.

Given the subject of Arrow season 8, though, you might as well just get that, as it's gonna be kinda like a Countdowm to Crisis with Ollie working for the Monitor throughout.

I was expecting something a little more faithful than that, with how close they got the Monitor.

Yo.

He'll probably have a helmet that makes him look more accurate.

[Andrew NDB]

You'd think they'd want to give him the helmet and keep the helmet on him to save on the makeup (he'd just need it around the mouth). It's not like that actor is Robert Downey Jr. or anything to where we "need" to see the actor.

So all of the legendary actors and actresses are indeed just short cameos before the actual plot starts, and Conroy won't even wear the cowl? What a letdown.

[Andrew NDB]

I think it actually looks really good, in spite of my current loathing of the status quos of all the CW shows at the moment.

Never expected he would. Pretty good odds Welling never puts on the costume, either.

[Michael Heide]

Sigh.

[Tazer]

Yo.

ya know, Ive been avoiding various clips & previews of this on purpose so as to receive it all in as fresh and untainted as can be, but recently I did see *just 1 snapshot* of a scene involving Routh & Hoechlin as Superman..... and I couldn't help but think "yea, THAT looks about right."
