Warner Bros TV Imports DC’s Elseworlds to The CW Superhero Crossover

The upcoming annual crossover event of Warner Bros TV’s superhero shows on The CW will have a backdrop concept of Elseworlds, which suggests the three-night story may be a stand-alone “What if?”-type story separate from the familiar and ongoing mythology.

Elseworlds was an acclaimed imprint that DC Comics launched in 1989 with Gotham by Gaslight, which featured art by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and reimagined Batman as a 19th century manhunter tangling with the infamous Jack the Ripper.

Another Elseworlds issue melded the mythology of Green Lantern and Aladdin, while a third superimposed the Superman origin story over a medieval knight saga.
