The seminal comic book event series saw the multiverse being under attack by the Anti-Monitor who was determined to destroy all life. In an attempt to beat him, the Monitor gathered the greatest heroes and villains from each world to join forces to fight back. When the Anti-Monitor reached Earth-1, only five worlds remained.
The Monitor and the metahumans of all the five Earths worked together to stop the threat that eventually leads to some major deaths of fan-favorite characters. However, fans of DC Comics must have remembered that the hugely popular arc within the world of DC featured the deaths of Barry Allen and Kara Zor-El which also was teased in the final episode of "Elseworlds".
"Crisis on Infinite Earths" was also when all the remaining Earths merge together into one. Should The CW intends to take on adaptation closely to the comic book series, fans may expect Supergirl to ultimately join the Arrowverse properly alongside Arrow, The Flash and DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
