Okay. And why not just stick with one universe?

Why restore the multiverse at the end? Because I promised DC Comics that if they let me destroy all their universes in hour one, that I would bring them back. You know, Titans and Doom Patrol and Stargirl, they kind of want to exist. [Laughs]

They should have at least had Wally make an appearance towards the end. I wonder if the actor wasn't available?

Yeah, I got the multiverse stuff now. For some reason like the Crisis series in the books I thought the whole idea was to eliminate the whole multiverse- but apparently here it was just to bring all the CW worlds together.

I still find it odd they gave Jefferson a place at the JL table when they don't even know the guy.

Maybe the green lantern scene was referencing the upcoming series?

Who was the woman in a blue and white costume in the final battle?

Yes, Nia Nal was in it out of costume. She was the one who sat next to Kara in the beginning.

Someone on YouTube thought he was wiped from existence, but I guess that's left open for interpretation.
I memtioned it in this topic during the episode.

Already mentioned a couple
Of times that it’s the 2011 movies that Berlanti produced.

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

For me it was a nice wrap up. Solid 'B' from start to finish.
All the CW Heroes show are one one earth.
And the DC Streaming shows are all on other earths.
Cool that Stargirl and the Justice Society on are on Earth-2. Just like the Pre-Crisis Earth-2 comic.
Glad Superman-Routh was also restored and given a happy ending with the change in Superman symbol.
Superfriends theme was a nice touch.
I didn't like Miller as FLASH in the JL movie but did geek out seeing him appearing with Gustin.

I wonder if Lois, Jimmy, etc. are still dead in the new Earth-97. If not, that could be why he ditched the black in his costume.

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

I enjoyed it to a certain extent. Ezra Miller's cameo was a huge surprise. I wish there had been some reference to the old 70's Wonder Woman or Lois & Clark, but they did manage to cover a lot of worlds. That said, this story could've been epic on the big screen. I appreciate what they tried to do immensely, but the acting and the special effects have been pretty bad on these shows for years and, to me, it just seemed like a minor league adaptation of an epic story. I didn't care for all of the Paragons conveniently being CW characters, but I understand they had budget limitations and people like Tom Welling only for one scene. Tom Ellis's cameo reminded just how much better of an actor he is than everyone on any of these shows. And the Oliver worship was over-the-top. That said, for a CW-produced version of this story, I think they did the best with what they had to work with... and it was fun to watch.

This whole thing didn't do much for me but I haven't read the comics since I was really young.

That being said, at the HoJ and Gleek. Now that's fan service for me. Great seeing Beebo again.

And with that, I can now check out of Flash (was only watching that to get to this). Down to Legends only now.

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

Unfortunately I got spoiled by the Erza cameo on FB too. And it wasn't even a friend, but a group I'm in. I wasn't sure if it was real, but it still ruined it since that was the best kept secret cameo.

Anyway, really enjoyed the whole arc. There was a lot of crossover banter throughout like Kate's 'I was new last year' to Black Lightning. And I almost got the Wonder Twins cameo I wanted. All of those little fan service things were really cool.

I think it's good that all the CW shows are together now. I'm interested to see if Black Lightning, Batwoman, and Supergirl story lines change now. I would think they have to continue with the current ones. Except now, Lex is appearing to be a good guy now.

Re: Crisis on Infinite Earths (The CW) -- 5 part crossover event

I understand that they are on a budget and all, but they really should have had everyone, including Cisco, Ralph, Wally, Jesse Quick, Wells, Jay Garrick (if he still alive), the Ray, Constantine, Roy and every superhero who has appeared on an Arrowverse show be in the last episode. This should have been their Endgame moment as it most likely won't happen ever again.

I liked the event. It was a real throwback to the 80's maxi-series with some changes to fit the Arrowverse world. I'm somewhat surprised that Lynda Carter wasn't in it but not surprised at all that Dean Cain wasn't invited. Cain has been very vocal about the support of dear president cheetolini and his appearance on the show would have been more of a distraction than actual fan service.

Another big surprise was the whole thing about Lois and Clark now having 2 kids instead of one. We know the first one is Jon Kent, but who is the second one? And is Oliver going to continue to be the Spectre or will the powers revert back to Corrigan?

There's 1 more actual episode of Arrow left. Next week is the backdoor Pilot for Green Arrow and the Canaries.

There's no plot description for it, so we don't know how Amell is being used in it since Oliver is "dead" again. Or is he?

1) Mind blown that Penguin was Rocky’s trainer!

2) I had to find out who played Black Canary (who I assume is right most in picture). Looks like she didn’t do anything except a few years in the late 70s.

Ugh, that still photo is from that horrible 1970's variety show that's currently on DC Universe. I tried watching it months ago, but it's unwatchable.

Have you never seen the show? Not sure how someone familiar with both could not know this.

Same, I hadn't seen it since it aired back in the 70's and it was tough to watch a few months ago on DCU. But when i was a kid, it was THE BEST THING EVER!!!
