Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3 Ending Explained: Where Do They Go?

Released on July 16, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3 is the final part of the Crisis on Infinite Earths trilogy. It is also the final film of the DC’s Tomorrowverse, which began in 2020. The story sees various DC Comics heroes fight Anti-Monitor for the ultimate fate of the multiverse. Here is its ending explained featuring spoilers.

What happens to the multiverse at the end of Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3?

The Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3 ending sees multiple animated DC universes get destroyed, while the heroes move to a new one.

In the film, the Monitor, after being killed by an Anti-Monitor controlled Supergirl, uses his remaining cosmic energy to transport multiple surviving DC earths into the Bleed. The Bleed is a zone where many earths and realities take refuge. Unfortunately, this zone is plagued by anomalies like incursions and mixed timelines.

Lex Luthor of Earth-10, who joined the alliance to stop parallel earths from being destroyed, uses his prisoner Psycho Pirate to contact Anti-Monitor. Luthor then gives Anti-Monitor locations of some earths to get destroyed. However, Luthor devises a method that would see other untouched worlds monitor the situation and capture crucial information.

Luthor then concocts a plan, suggesting Superman to absorb energy from 52 suns and become a super bomb. This super-bomb would be powerful enough to destroy the Anti-Monitor. The Kryptnoian agrees that the plan could work despite Earth-1 Lois Lane’s objections.

Soon, the Anti-Monitor arrives and attempts to kill the heroes. However, Martian Manhunter also comes in with Warworld. The latter halts his attempts by using Psycho Pirate to channel positive emotions within the Bleed and empower the Warworld. The empowered Warworld is then used to inflict significant damage on the Anti-Monitor.

Superman then attempts to become the super bomb to destroy the Anti-Monitor and sacrifice himself. However, he is stopped by Supergirl.

Supergirl then flies into the Anti-Monitor’s torso and blows up, killing the Anti-Monitor, but dying in the process. Unfortunately, the heroes realize that as long as the multiverse persists, there will be more Anti-Monitors. They also come to the realization that they cannot offer more sacrifices to destroy multiple Anti-Monitors.

So, the heroes then make the difficult decision to rewrite multiple earths into one earth with a single timeline, Earth-Prime, using the Miracle Machine. Unfortunately, the Miracle Machine needs an infinite life source to work. This leads to Earth-2 Wonder Woman sacrificing herself. She gives up her godhood to channel the Miracle Machine and ends up dying.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3’s new universe explained

The new universe created in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3 is Earth-Prime. It is a new reality that has its inhabitants, including superheroes, formed by the combination of their former alternate selves from across the multiverse.

Through the portal created by the Miracle Machine, the surviving heroes and several villains like Lex Luthor and Joker enter it to be reborn on Earth-Prime. Before they leave, however, Superman and Batman get heartwarming farewells from Earth-1 Lois and Earth-2 Huntress respectively, which make them hopeful for the future.

The Question rejects Earth-Prime and doesn’t go, and John Constantine doesn’t enter the portal created by the Miracle Machine either. Constantine instead opts to leave with The Spectre. He does this to repent for his arrogance during the Justice League Dark: Apokolips War‘s ending. In that film, his arrogance made him believe that reality would not fight back when Flash went back in time to reset the timeline and make the Tomorrowverse fix the damage Darkseid caused in the film.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3 is currently out on digital. The film features the voices of Jensen Ackles, Darren Criss, Corey Stoll, Stana Katic, and Meg Donnelly, among others.
