I'd love a close adaptation of "Crisis on Infinite Earths." I also recognize that DC Animation needs to make some money and market a bit more broadly than the six people (self included) who have a proper affinity for "Crisis".
Seriously, that series is so steeped in the deepest and most obscure of DC lore that a 90 minute adaptation is not only too short to fit all the characters in; it's just not viable to hang a marketable movie off of so many obscure characters and concepts.
Here they took the core idea of "Crisis" and streamlined it in a way that I found pretty enjoyable. Writing's a bit better than other DCAMU / Tomorrowverse features, but I'm also getting tired of Barry Allen as the go-to protagonist. I Like the guy but let's switch it up.
