"'''Infinite Crisis'''" is a 2005–2006 comic book storyline published by [[DC Comics]], consisting of an eponymous, seven-issue [[comic book]] [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]] written by [[Geoff Johns]] and illustrated by [[Phil Jimenez]], [[George Pérez]], [[Ivan Reis]], and [[Jerry Ordway]], and a number of tie-in books. The main miniseries debuted in October 2005, and each issue was released with two variant covers: one by Pérez and one by [[Jim Lee]] and Sandra Hope.

The series storyline was a [[sequel]] to DC's 1985 limited series ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'', which "rebooted" much of the DC continuity in an effort to fix 50 years of allegedly contradictory character history. It revisited characters and concepts from ''Crisis'', including the existence of DC's [[Multiverse (DC Comics)|Multiverse]]. Some of the characters featured were [[parallel universe (fiction)|alternate versions]] of comic icons such as an alternate [[Superman]] named [[Superman (Kal-L)|Kal-L]], who came from a parallel universe called [[Earth-Two]]. A major theme was the nature of heroism, contrasting the often dark and conflicted modern-day heroes with memories of "lighter" and comparatively more noble and collegial heroes of [[American comic book]]s' [[Silver Age of Comic Books|earlier days]].

''Infinite Crisis'' #1 was ranked first in the top 300 comics for October 2005 with pre-order sales of 249,265. This was almost double the second ranked comic ''[[House of M]]'' #7, which had pre-order sales of 134,429.<ref>{{cite web| date=2005-11-15| url=http://www.icv2.com/articles/home/7812.html| title=Top 300 Comics Actual—October 2005| publisher=icv2.com

==Overview==
The plot begins when, in ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'', [[Superman (Earth Two)|Kal-L]] (the Superman of pre-''Crisis'' Earth-Two), the [[Superboy-Prime|Superboy of Earth Prime]], [[Alexander Luthor Jr.]] of pre-''Crisis'' Earth-Three, and [[Lois Lane#Golden Age|Lois Lane Kent]] of pre-''Crisis'' Earth-Two voluntarily sequestered themselves in "paradise". DC officially began leading up to the new ''Crisis'' with a [[one-shot (comics)|one-shot]] issue ''[[Countdown to Infinite Crisis]]'', followed by four six-issue limited series that tied into and culminated in ''Infinite Crisis''.

Once the ''Crisis'' was completed, DC used the ''[[One Year Later]]'' event to move the narratives of most of its DC Universe series forward by one year. The weekly series ''[[52 (comics)|52]]'' began publication in May 2006, and depicts some of the events which occurred between ''Infinite Crisis'' and ''One Year Later''.

In June 2008, a third series (''[[Final Crisis]]''), set immediately following the conclusion of ''Countdown'', began.

==Publication history==
===Lead-ups===
''Infinite Crisis'' was announced in March 2005. The event was kicked off with the release of ''[[Countdown to Infinite Crisis]]''. ''Countdown to Infinite Crisis'' was followed by four six-issue [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]]: ''[[The OMAC Project]]'', ''[[Rann–Thanagar War]]'', ''[[Day of Vengeance]]'', and ''[[Villains United]]'', as well as a four-part [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]] ''DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy''. These first four limited series each had a special tie-in issue, released at monthly intervals during the ''Infinite Crisis'' event.

===Tie-ins===
As with many large-scale comic crossovers, ''Infinite Crisis'' featured a number of tie-ins. Before the event was announced, books such as ''[[Adam Strange]]'' and ''[[Identity Crisis (DC Comics)|Identity Crisis]]'' were being described as part of bigger plans. After ''Countdown'', several books were identified as tie-ins to the four mini-series. Thus, although ''Infinite Crisis'' itself is only seven issues long, its plot elements appeared in dozens of publications.

Some of these books were of direct and major importance, such as the ''Superman: Sacrifice'' and ''JLA: Crisis of Conscience'' storylines, the latter of which ended with the Justice League's lunar [[Justice League Watchtower|Watchtower]] being destroyed, leading directly into ''Infinite Crisis'' #1. Another notable tie-in is ''[[Batman: Under the Hood]]'', which features the return of the long-dead second [[Robin (character)|Robin]], [[Jason Todd]], as the [[antihero]] [[Red Hood]].

===Editorial planning===
DC Comics executive editor [[Dan DiDio]] stated that ''Infinite Crisis'' was being hinted at in various stories for two years prior to its launch, starting with the "death" of [[Donna Troy]].<ref>{{note|newsarama.1}} {{cite web | title=Counting Down in the DCU with Dan Didio | url=http://www.newsarama.com/pages/DC/Didio_Countdown.htm | access-date=February 10, 2006 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060410185820/http://www.newsarama.com/pages/DC/Didio_Countdown.htm <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = April 10, 2006}}</ref>

With ''Countdown to Infinite Crisis'', ''Infinite Crisis'' began to visibly affect DC's editorial policy. [[Mark Waid]] signed an exclusive contract with DC, receiving a similar editorial role. DC replaced its official decades-old logo (the "DC bullet") with a new one (the "DC spin") that debuted in the first issue of ''DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy''.

Aside from marking a major editorial shift within DC Comics, ''Infinite Crisis'' was a return to large company-wide crossovers of a sort that had been uncommon since the downturn of the comic industry in the 1990s.

==Plot==
The story begins in the wake of the four lead-in [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]], with [[Superman]], [[Wonder Woman]], and [[Batman]] feuding, the [[Justice League Watchtower|JLA Watchtower]] destroyed, and the heroes of the world all facing a variety of menaces. Over this backdrop, [[Superman (Earth-Two)|Kal-L]] (the [[Earth-Two]] Superman), along with [[Lois Lane#Golden Age|Earth-Two's Lois Lane]], [[Earth-Three]]'s [[Alexander Luthor Jr.]], and [[Superboy-Prime]] escape from the [[pocket universe]] where they had initially fled to at the end of ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]''.<ref name="IC1">{{Cite comic|Writer = Johns, Geoff|Title = Infinite Crisis|Volume = 1|Issue = 1|Date = December 2005|Publisher = DC Comics}}</ref> Kal-L seeks out his cousin, [[Power Girl]], also a survivor of Earth-Two. Believing Lois' health will improve on her native world, he hopes to replace the current Earth with Earth-Two, which he considers perfect.<ref name="IC2">{{Cite comic|Writer = Johns, Geoff|Title = Infinite Crisis|Volume = 1|Issue = 2|Date = January 2006|Publisher = DC Comics}}</ref><ref name="jsa82">''JSA'' #82 (2006)</ref>

Kal-L tries to enlist Batman's support, stating that the Post-Crisis Earth's inherent "bad" nature caused Batman's recent mistrust and hostility. Batman refuses and tries to use his Kryptonite Ring. This fails as the Kryptonite is not native to Kal-L's universe, and Superman destroys it with his heat-vision. Afterward, Batman learns Superboy-Prime destroyed the JLA Watchtower.<ref name="IC3">{{Cite comic|Writer = Johns, Geoff|Title = Infinite Crisis|Volume = 1|Issue = 3|Date = February 2006|Publisher = DC Comics}}</ref>

Alexander reveals to Power Girl that he and Superboy-Prime had been leaving their "paradise" for some time, manipulating events to help create an inter-dimensional tuning fork. Using the [[Anti-Monitor]]'s remains and captured heroes and villains attuned to former universes, Alex restores Earth-Two, unpopulated except for the Earth-Two heroes transported there.<ref name="IC4">{{Cite comic|Writer = Johns, Geoff|Title = Infinite Crisis|Volume = 1|Issue = 4|Date = March 2006|Publisher = DC Comics}}</ref>

Superboy-Prime attacks [[Conner Kent]], this world's Superboy. Multiple super-teams intervene. Superboy-Prime accidentally kills several heroes before the [[The Flash|Flashes]] and [[Bart Allen|Kid Flash]] (Bart Allen) force him into the [[Speed Force]], assisted by the speedsters already within it. [[Flash (Jay Garrick)|Jay Garrick]], the only speedster left behind, says the Speed Force is now gone.<ref name="IC4" /><ref name="tt31">''Teen Titans'' (vol. 3) #32 (2006)</ref>

Seeking to create a perfect world, Alexander restores many alternate Earths. When Earth-Two Lois dies of old age, an aggrieved Kal-L and the younger Post-Crisis Superman Kal-El fight until Wonder Woman separates them.<ref name="IC5">{{Cite comic|Writer = Johns, Geoff|Title = Infinite Crisis|Volume = 1|Issue = 5|Date = April 2006|Publisher = DC Comics}}</ref><ref name="s226">''Superman'' (vol. 2) #226–227 (2006)</ref><ref name="aos648">''Adventures of Superman'' #648 & #649 (2006)</ref> Bart Allen (wearing [[Barry Allen]]'s costume and aged to adulthood) emerges from the Speed Force, warning that he and the other speedsters were unable to hold Superboy-Prime, who returns wearing Anti-Monitor inspired armor that stores yellow sun radiation to empower him, making him even stronger.

Batman's strike force destroys Brother Eye, a satellite AI created by Batman that had gone rogue and begun transforming civilians into nano-infused robots geared to hunt down and exterminate supers. Alexander selects and merges alternate Earths, trying to create a "perfect" Earth, until [[Jason Rusch|Firestorm]] blocks his efforts. Conner, [[Dick Grayson|Nightwing]], and [[Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark)|Wonder Girl]] release the Tower's prisoners.<ref name="tt32">''Teen Titans'' (vol. 3) #33 (2006)</ref><ref name="IC6">{{Cite comic|Writer = Johns, Geoff|Title = Infinite Crisis|Volume = 1|Issue = 6|Date = May 2006|Publisher = DC Comics}}</ref> Fighting each other, Conner and Superboy-Prime collide with the tower, destroying it. The multiple Earths recombine into a "New Earth" as Conner dies in Wonder Girl's arms. Power Girl soon arrives and asks Kal-El what happened to Lois. The answer causes her to break down prompting her to ask Kal-L why. He answers her simply, telling her it was because he chose the wrong Superboy to condemn and the wrong Superboy to condone.

When a horde of supervillains attack Metropolis,<ref name="ic villains">''Infinite Crisis Special: Villains United'' (2006)</ref> heroes, current and retired, fly off to the rescue, and they are joined by the National Guard. The battle results in multiple deaths on both sides, including many by Superboy-Prime himself, who kills villains and heroes alike. During the battle, Superboy-Prime takes off to destroy [[Oa (comics)|Oa]], planning to collapse the universe in a big bang event, and recreate it with himself as the only superhero. Superboy-Prime is slowed down by a 300-mile thick wall of willpower created by the [[Green Lantern Corps]], but he kills thirty-two Green Lanterns before Kal-L and Kal-El carry him toward a kryptonite field surrounding the remnants of [[Krypton (comics)|Krypton]]. The Supermen fly Superboy through Krypton's red sun Rao, destroying his armor and causing all three Kryptonians' powers to diminish. Falling to the sentient planet (and Green Lantern Corps member) [[Mogo]], they fight. Kal-El finally knocks Superboy-Prime out before succumbing to the kryptonite radiation poisoning, and the older Superman Kal-L dies of his injuries.

Back on Earth, Batman, struggling with Superboy's death and Nightwing's severe injuries sustained during the Metropolis battle, contemplates shooting Alex. Batman is dissuaded by Wonder Woman. Alex manages to escape.<ref name="dc-ency">{{Cite book  | last = Wallace  | first = Dan | contribution = Batman | editor-last = Dougall  | editor-first = Alastair  | title = The DC Comics Encyclopedia  | pages = 40–44  | publisher = [[Dorling Kindersley]]  | place = London  | year = 2008 | isbn = 978-0-7566-4119-1 }}</ref>

[[Wonder Woman]], Batman, and [[Superman]] later meet up in [[Gotham City]]. Wonder Woman plans to find out who she is. Batman plans a similar journey of self-discovery, revisiting the training of his youth, this time with [[Dick Grayson]], now healthier, and with [[Robin (Tim Drake)|Tim Drake]] joining him. Superman retires from super heroics until his powers return, focusing his career as a journalist in the meantime.<ref name="upupaway">[[One Year Later|"''Up, Up, and Away''"]]</ref>

Hiding in an alley in [[Gotham City]] and making new plans, Alexander Luthor is found by [[Lex Luthor]] and the [[Joker (comics)|Joker]]. The Joker mutilates Alexander by spraying acid onto his face, then electrifies it, and kills Alexander by shooting him as Lex mocks him.

The Green Lantern Corps imprison Superboy-Prime inside a red Sun-Eater. The series ends with him carving an ''[[Superman logo|S]]'' into his chest and declaring that he has escaped from worse prisons than this.<ref name="IC7">{{Cite comic|Writer = Johns, Geoff|Title = Infinite Crisis|Volume = 1|Issue = 7|Date = June 2006|Publisher = DC Comics}}</ref>

===Hardcover revisions===
The [[hardcover]] collecting all seven issues of ''Infinite Crisis'' included changes in coloring, as well as, more significantly, alterations in [[dialogue]], most of which relate to hints to the re-emergence of the [[DC Multiverse]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jigsawmen.googlepages.com/thecollectededition|title=The Collected Edition|publisher=The Annotated Infinite Crisis|access-date=2008-02-19 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080703223840/http://jigsawmen.googlepages.com/thecollectededition <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = 2008-07-03}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://blog.newsarama.com/2007/01/24/marvel-at-math/?p=1330|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707044738/http://blog.newsarama.com/2007/01/24/marvel-at-math/?p=1330|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-07-07|title=nfinite Rewrites, or: Crisis on Infinite Versions of DC's Major Crossover Series|work=[[Newsarama]]|date=2006-10-11|access-date=2008-02-19}}</ref>
Also changed is the two-page spread near the end of the book, where a new [[George Pérez]] image is substituted. Four additional pages of art by [[Phil Jimenez]] were added, who also illustrated new cover art for the dust jacket of hardcover collection. An interview section included as an afterword explains the reasoning behind some of these alterations.

==Consequences==
{{main|Character changes during Infinite Crisis|Continuity changes during Infinite Crisis}}

===Aftermath===
* ''[[52 (comics)|52]]'': Weekly comic book presenting events that occur during the year between ''Infinite Crisis'' #7 and the ''One Year Later'' stories.
* ''[[Blüdhaven|Crisis Aftermath: The Battle for Blüdhaven]]'' #1–6
* ''[[Spectre (comics)|Crisis Aftermath: The Spectre]]'' #1–3
* ''Crisis Aftermath: In the Wake of Infinite Crisis: Brave New World''
* ''[[One Year Later]]'': After the publication of ''Infinite Crisis'' #5, storylines in most DC Universe series jumped forward one year, occurring after the events chronicled in ''52''.
* ''[[Countdown to Final Crisis]]'' is a weekly series that is actually a lead in to yet another crisis, ''[[Final Crisis]]''. It does not take place immediately after ''[[52 (comics)|52]]''; it actually, chronologically speaking, takes place concurrently with the comics DC was publishing at the time, over a year (in real world time, less in internal comic book time) after the One Year Gap.

===Series cancelled during the crossover===
A number of series were cancelled with the "One Year Later" jump. Some ended outright, like ''[[Batgirl]]'', ''[[Gotham Central]]'', and ''[[Batman: Gotham Knights]]'', while others were suspended and restarted later with new volumes, notably ''[[Justice League|JLA]]'', ''[[Justice Society|JSA]]'', ''[[Flash (comics)|Flash]]'', and ''[[Wonder Woman]]''. Additionally, ''[[The Adventures of Superman (comic book)|Adventures of Superman]]'' returned to its original title of ''Superman'', while the book that had previously been coming out as ''Superman'' since 1987 was canceled, thus making the Superman line's two books, ''Superman'' and ''Action Comics'', match the Batman lines ''Batman'' and ''Detective Comics'' (in addition to the shared title ''[[Superman/Batman]]''.)

==Alternate versions==
In ''[[Dark Multiverse]]: Infinite Crisis'', after [[Ted Kord]] takes over [[Checkmate (comics)|Checkmate]] when he kills [[Maxwell Lord]], he manages to subvert most of Alexander Luthor's plans before confronting Luthor and Superboy-Prime directly.

==Adaptations==
[[Ace Books]], under the imprint of the [[Berkley Publishing Group]] and published by the [[Penguin Group]], released an October 2006 novelization adaptation of the series written by [[Greg Cox (writer)|Greg Cox]], with an introduction by [[Mark Waid]], and cover art designed by Georg Brewer and illustrated by [[Daniel Acuña]].<ref>Cox, Greg. ''Infinite Crisis'' (October 2006) Ace Books. {{ISBN|0-441-01444-5}}</ref> The novel was primarily adapted from the seven-issues mini-series published by [[DC Comics]] (December 2005 to June 2006). Additional materials on the book was adapted from:
* ''Aquaman'' #37 (February 2006)
* ''Day of Vengeance: Infinite Crisis Special'' (March 2006)
* ''Gotham Central'' #38 (February 2006)
* ''JLA'' #119 (November 2005)
* ''JSA Classified'' #4 (December 2005)
* ''Rann/Thanagar War: Infinite Crisis Special'' (April 2006)
* ''Teen Titans'' #32 (March 2006)
* ''Wonder Woman'' (vol. 2) #223–224 (January and February 2006)

GraphicAudio produced an audiobook of the novelization of ''Infinite Crisis''. The audiobook spans two volumes with 6 CDs each and features a full cast, music and sound effects. Volume 1 and 2 were released in May–July 2007.

===Video game===
{{main|Infinite Crisis (video game)}}
A [[multiplayer online battle arena]] video game adaptation loosely based on the comic book series was developed by [[Turbine, Inc.]] and released in 2015.
