Infinite Crisis (Comic Book) | comment |
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In 1985, DC decided to clean house and create a stabler, more singular continuity. And so they gave us Crisis on Infinite Earths. And it was good (reception-wise), even though it left some issues with continuity (many of which were addressed in Animal Man). Since then, DC has not been shy with the Crisis Crossovers, though most of them could not live up to the standard the original Crisis had set. Zero Hour: Crisis in Time mucked up continuity a bit, and Identity Crisis was in reality just a murder mystery with a plot the fanbase doesn't quite agree on. In honor of the Crisis' 20th anniversary, the editorial staff decided to tie up a few loose ends and create a full blown sequel to it. And in theory, it was a good idea.Since the Crisis, fans had complained that nearly every title DC produced had been getting progressively Darker and Edgier. The Big Three had been hit hardest. Batman lost his sidekick, had his back broken, had Gotham hit by TWO plagues and an earthquake, and just barely saved Gotham from the No Man's Land. Superman died, was replaced four times (two of which were a clone and an evil cybernetic doppleganger), and came back to life JUST to start. Wonder Woman was arguably affected the least, but was recorded killing Max Lord to save Superman. The DCU was dark and getting worse, especially since the events of Identity Crisis, The O.M.A.C. Project and others came to light. The opinions of the fans had been heard, but a question was raised by DC: "What would the heroes of the Crisis — what would the Golden Age Superman think?" Their conclusion? "We saved the wrong Earth." Their solution? Recreate the Multiverse into a Merged Reality.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Thus the foundation was set for Infinite Crisis.The survivors of the Multiverse, Alexander Luthor Jr, the Golden Age Superman (Kal-L), Superboy-Prime, and Lois Lane entered a "paradise dimension" at the end of the Crisis, but were able to watch the new Earth. As time went on, they were disappointed by the growing cynicism in the universe and Prime and Luthor began to plan to replace the Earth with a better one. Kal-L agreed, but was more attentive to his dying wife, which Prime and Luthor used to break free from their dimension and enter Earth. Due to Superboy-Prime's punching of the barriers of the dimension, several things changed without explanation. While Prime manipulated events in space, Luthor stayed on Earth and disguised himself as the regular Lex to form a Secret Society of Villains (sans The Joker) and even recruited the treacherous Psycho-Pirate from the original Crisis. When another hero, Pariah, who was instrumental in the fight with the Anti-Monitor, came to warn Lex Luthor of a coming danger, Alexander Luthor killed him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Because of Wonder Woman's murder of Max Lord (who was responsible for the murder of Ted Kord), the treachery of the Justice League, the movement of the planet Rann into Thanagar's orbit, and the center of the universe no longer being Oa, chaos broke out all across the universe. With Hal Jordan revived, the Spectre was without a host and was tricked by Jean Loring, the new Eclipso, into destroying the magic of the universe, which ultimately led to the death of Shazam. Not to mention that before his death, Max Lord hijacked the Brother Mk. I satellite and injected millions of people with the O.M.A.C. nanoprobes which were to activate and transform people into cyborgs to eliminate any and all metahumans upon Lord's death (and it was later revealed that Alexander Luthor screwed up Brother Mk. I further, causing it to go rogue, rename itself Brother Eye, and try to kill as many heroes as it can with its O.M.A.C.'s). Finally, the story began with the abduction of the Martian Manhunter and the destruction of the Justice League Watchtower.Whew! And that's just the prologue to the story!In the main story, Alexander and Superboy-Prime take all the heroes and villains that they spent the past year kidnapping and attach them to a giant "dimensional tuning fork". This allows them to recreate the Multiverse and bring back all the Earths that were lost during the original Crisis, which Alexander can smash together to form what they consider the perfect Earth. Luckily for the Multiverse, Prime picks a fight with the regular Superboy. The fight escalates, and the two eventually crash into the fork, causing all the Earths to merge into one Earth. Prime snaps and flies to the center of the universe in an attempt to destroy and remake the universe. He is intercepted by Superman and Kal-L, who beat him into submission, but not before he kills Kal-L.Plus a bunch of other stories involving the Secret Society of Supervillains trying to Take Over the World by force, Batman leading a team to take down Brother Eye, Superman and Kal-L fighting over Lighter and Softer versus Darker and Edgier, and a bunch of heroes trying to do something about Alexander messing with the universe.As with Crisis on Infinite Earths, a great number of Retcons occurred as a result of the story, in this case caused by a combination of the recollapse of the once dead Multiverse and the punching of the Source Wall by Superboy-Prime.Superboy-Prime's Changes were: Jason Todd was restored to life, even though everyone remembered his death. Elasti-Girl and Negative Man of the Doom Patrol were restored to life, the Chief was restored to his original body and the team's history rebooted. The team eventually remembered its original history, and it was later shown that nearly all of the versions of the Doom Patrol that ever existed are still in continuitynote even Grant Morrison's run, which was originally part of DC continuity before being moved over to the Vertigo line of comics; the Vertigo history other than Morrison's was not brought back in however. Yes, even John Byrne's team. Superman, Donna Troy, and the Metal Men each had the inconsistencies in their origins reconciled. The various incarnations of Hawkman... got pretty badly mixed up. After the event, the Golden Age Hawkman continued to be the one that DC stuck with. Hal Jordan was never an ex-con who served 90 days in prison for drunk driving, leaving a man paralyzed in its wake. Maxwell Lord managed to return to his full human self but, after a lifetime of secretly harboring a deep hatred for superheroes, began to actively manipulate things from behind the scenes as one of the leaders of Checkmate.The changes caused by the rebirth and collapse of the Multiverse were: Joe Chill was arrested for the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne, and was subsequently released after serving his sentence. Superman was briefly active during his teenage years as Superboy. As a result, his adventures with the Legion of Super-Heroes are once again canon. After losing and then regaining his powers, he regained the perfect memory and super fast computer-like calculative processes he had pre-Crisis. Lex Luthor spent his youth in Smallville and knew Superboy, eventually leaving under suspicious circumstances and leaving behind a sister and a dead father. The Original Seven (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), The Flash (Barry Allen), the Martian Manhunter, and Aquaman) were once again the founding members of the Justice League of America. The Justice Society founders regained their memories of the Golden Age Superman, Kal-L. The various versions of General Zod were replaced by a modern Kryptonian Zod (similar to the one in the movies). The Supergirl Matrix was wiped from existence (DC changed their mind later, though)Needless to say, in order to fully appreciate Infinite Crisis, you'd better have done your research, especially with the tie-ins as all of the above would eventually become more important later on. Worlds lived, worlds died (the same could be said of many characters), and the DC Universe was never the same... literally, as it was later revealed, due to the events of Infinite Crisis, The Multiverse was brought back, albeit with a definite number. Later references would call this event the "middle Crisis"; part of a saga that started with Crisis on Infinite Earths, and ran through Final Crisis. The Multiverse and the fate of it and many of the DC superheroes characters (read: plotlines) were later revealed and concluded in the immediate sequel, 52.Currently being unofficially converted into an audio drama, albeit very, very slowly. There is also an official adaptation released by Graphic Audio... it's good for a car ride, if you're well-versed in the DC Universe.Not to be confused with the 2013 multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game. | |

Medium Awareness | |
Infinite Crisis (Comic Book) / int_884e513b | comment |
Medium Awareness: The connection that all the kidnapped heroes and villains had was that there were aware on some level of the full extent of Crisis on Infinite Earths. For some, that included knowing that the whole thing was a comic book event. Somewhere in issue #6, Alexander Luthor is standing in the middle of representation of the multiple Earths, searching for Earth-Prime (the "real world" from the Bronze Age stories) Alex Luthor needs Kal-L to recreate the universe, because "everything comes from Superman." The original Superman was the start of superhero comics and the DCU in general. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: Superboy-Prime takes several. At first, he just wants to confront Connor about not being a good enough Superboy, then he starts accidentally killing people. After getting trapped in another dimension, he has no problem murdering whole swaths of people for absolutely no reason. | |

Physical God: Superboy-Prime, who has the power levels of Silver-Age Superman and neither his Kryptonite nor magical weaknesses (red solar radiation still works though). It's suggested once or twice that he's SO strong, that various pantheons of DC's mythical gods actually fled the DC plane of reality during the Infinite Crisis lead-in to get away from him. The usual happened in later works featuring him. | |

Psycho-Pirate's powers don't do anything to Black Adam. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain!: Had it not been for Alex Luthor's manipulations, Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman would probably have gone their separate ways for good. Although, a large percentage of why they were cracking apart in the first place (Max Lord's shenanigans and the Brother Eye going rogue) was his fault to begin with. | |

Too Dumb to Live: The Joker comes to find out that Big Bad Alexander Luthor didn't let him in because of his unpredictability. Of all the super villains Alex was gathering, he didn't let the Joker in. The Joker is understandably pissed. Jump to the final issue, with Alex planning to rebuild his power and his power base, only to be ambushed by the Joker and Lex Luthor. And as Alex is begging for mercy, Lex tells him flat out his one big mistake wasn't attacking Superman or killing Superboy or even messing with him or any of that. It was "not letting the Joker play◊." | |

Debate and Switch: Initially, there was some ambiguity about whether the survivors of the original Multiverse could be right in regards to the moral condition of the current universe. After the first couple of issues, it was gone; the rest of the series had Alex Luthor and Superboy-Prime as the clear-cut villains and Kal-L ended up changing sides. However, Alex Luthor told Power Girl that he accepted that, no matter which universe or reality, a Superman and a Luthor will always be enemies. | |

Batman Grabs a Gun: After it looked like Alex Luthor killed Nightwing, Batman decided enough was enough and threatened to finally end Luthor's life. It was not a coincidence that Wonder Woman of all people talked him out of it, especially when she had murdered Max Lord not too long prior. This act is the straw that breaks the camel's back as Bruce decides that he could no longer be the "grim and distrustful" Batman he had been over the last few years and goes on a year-long sojourn to rebuild Batman. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
Infinite Crisis (Comic Book) / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: In the second issue, The Joker is pissed off that he wasn't invited into the Society by Alexander for being too crazy and unpredictable. In the last issue, he kills Alexander in an alleyway as revenge. Early on, a teenager in El Paso, Texas, finds an odd scarab after being saved by Superman from a collapsing building. | |

Infinite Crisis (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: The series was an attempt to fix a couple of DCs more infamous ones. While the explanation for what happened was mocked for a short time afterwards, the results were pretty decent. | |

Decon-Recon Switch | |
Infinite Crisis (Comic Book) / int_e0113647 | comment |
Decon-Recon Switch: At the beginning of the story, Batman is at his most paranoid, Wonder Woman is dealing with the effects of her killing Max Lord, and Superman is dealing with the fact that he apparently inspires no one anymore. Through the story, Batman learns to trust his allies again (signified by accepting Hal Jordan's help on Brother Eye to escape after spending the last year going out of his way to distrust the former Parallax). Wonder Woman decides to readopt Thou Shall Not Kill (by throwing her sword down and convincing Batman not to kill Alex Luthor), and Superman rediscovers his inspiring qualities (noted when he gives Prime a Kirk Summation about how un-Superman the kid is despite all his powers, costume, and name.) At the very end, all three take a break from superhero work to rediscover themselves. Batman in particular retraces his steps in his training, but brings his kids along with him. | |

Criminal Doppelgänger: Alexander Luthor Jr. for mainstream Luthor (who is also a criminal, but at least keeps his hands clean). | |

The Starscream | |
Infinite Crisis (Comic Book) / int_eedee4d | comment |
The Starscream: In a straight-up subversion, Alexander Luthor knew that it is generally impossible for anybody to control somebody that's as insane as The Joker so he did not even try. The Joker was VERY unhappy that he was not picked for the team as Luthor eventually found out. | |

Psycho-Pirate dies by having Black Adam force his mask through his skull, but the actual graphics look like Black Adam impaled his fingers into Psycho-Pirate's eye sockets. | |
