Barry and Iris’s wedding brings the gang together, but things go awry when villains from Earth-X attack the ceremony.

Earth’s mightiest heroes – Green Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash and White Canary – lead their teams into battle to save the world.[1]
Trivia
- Earth-X is a world where Germany won World War II and Green Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl are evil. It was first referenced in the Supergirl episode "Worlds Finest" by Barry, who thought he made it up.
- Ray Terrill/The Ray made his live-action debut in this crossover. His own animated CW Seed show, Freedom Fighters: The Ray, aired after the crossover event, on December 8, 2017.
- Unlike previous crossovers, Crisis on Earth-X received its own special opening title card and did not have "previously on" at the start of each part.
- The only series regulars who did not appear in the crossover were:
- Supergirl - Katie McGrath (Lena Luthor) and Odette Annable (Samantha Arias)
- The Flash - Neil Sandilands (Clifford DeVoe)
- Arrow - Willa Holland (Thea Queen) and Katie Cassidy (Earth Two Laurel Lance)
- Supergirl reveals that there are 52 Earths in the Multiverse. Harry says that there are actually 53 Earths but Earth-X is so horrible that no one goes there and therefore it does not have a number. However, it is not indicated when and how Kara and Harry came to possess this information.
- Ralph Dibny, John Diggle, Curtis Holt, Rene Ramirez, Dinah Drake, Ray Palmer, Nate Heywood, Amaya Jiwe and Zari Tomaz were the only heroes not in attendance at Barry and Iris's wedding. That fact was referenced by Ray Palmer in "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 4".
