Highlights

  • Part One of Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths leaves fans with lingering questions and anticipation for Part Two's revelations.
  • Constantine's potential role as Pariah and his assistance to the heroes in facing the Anti Monitor adds intrigue to the storyline.
  • The Flash's speed force abilities and the potential involvement of Wally West could lead to a significant plot twist in Part Two.

Following the announcement by DC Studios co-chair and co-CEO James Gunn that the Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths trilogy will not be connected to the DCU, the expectations for Part Two remain uncertain, especially after the enigmatic conclusion of Part One. The events in Justice League Dark: Apokolips War and Constantine: The House Of Mystery seem to have an aftermath in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part One, where Flash and Constantine defy the laws of the universe, but the specifics of their transgressions and their impact on the storyline are ambiguous.

While the animated movie does not strictly adhere to the comic storyline, it centers on the Monitor assembling the most formidable beings from across the multiverse to confront an unprecedented crisis - the Anti Matter wave. Part One has left numerous unanswered questions, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the unfolding of events in Part Two.

The Enigmatic Role of Constantine

In Part One, Constantine, depicted as a wandering vagrant, traverses the multiverse, forewarning Flash about the impending multiverse catastrophe. While the speculation about the movie's connection to the DCAMU persists, it suggests that Spectre judges Constantine after nudging Barry to alter the course of time in Justice League Dark - Apokolips War. In the 30-minute mini-movie Constantine: The House of Mystery, he faces a fate of being hunted by demons for eternity.

In the comics, Constantine assumes the role of Pariah, the entity responsible for inadvertently unleashing the antimatter world. If he indeed embodies this role, it signifies his path of aiding the heroes and receiving recognition from Harbinger.

Unveiling the Mystery of the Dusted

Part One depicts the Monitor uniting an alliance and erecting three speed force-powered towers on different earths to shield them from the anti-matter wave. However, following a triumphant mission celebration, an anomaly occurs, resulting in the disintegration of Dawnster, Brainiac, and others into dust. This conclusion alludes to Part Two exploring the whereabouts of the dusted and the quest to reverse this scenario.

While Part One's narrative diverged slightly from the comics, the upcoming installment may realign with the original storyline, potentially involving the Anti Monitor draining Flash of his speed force energy, a villain yet to be unveiled in the trilogy. In the comic, the Anti Monitor abducts the dusted to prevent them from obstructing his future plans.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Two may witness villains such as Lex Luthor and Brainiac actively supporting the alliance against the Anti Monitor and devising strategies to locate the missing heroes.

Unraveling Flash's Mysterious Past

A notable disparity between the comics and the movie involves Flash's role. While the comics depict Barry witnessing the demise of different worlds, the movie explores the capabilities of his speed force and how he can leverage it. In the movie, Flash vibrates at an extraordinary speed, creating a pocket dimension where he and Iris age together while constructing one of the towers with Amazo's assistance.

Part One concludes with Spectre sending the elderly and weary Barry on a mission through time, instructing him to return to a time 'before the beginning of time.' Part Two is anticipated to depict the Anti Monitor thwarting Barry's mission and usurping his speed force, granting him the ability to manipulate time and space. This empowers the main antagonist to execute his agenda - the annihilation and reconstruction of reality in his image. While rescuing Barry may seem improbable, Part One hints at a potential twist involving Wally West, Iris' nephew, implying that he might naturally inherit a significant portion of the speed force energy, surpassing Barry.

The Role of Spectre

Spectre introduces himself to Barry as God's Wrath, but his initial appearance involves a conversation with the Monitor regarding the latter's compliance, ensuring the universe's safety. He perceives himself as a judge reluctant to unnecessarily intervene in worldly matters. He extends empathy to the worn-out Barry Allen and assigns him a mission to the dawn of time.

While Spectre's capabilities remain undisclosed, his ability to admonish both Constantine and Barry underscores his formidable nature. It is reasonable to anticipate Spectre playing a pivotal role in the confrontation against the Anti Monitor in Crisis on Infinite Earth Part Two, as his defeat would entail the obliteration of all existence.
