Trivia / Legends of Tomorrow S4 E8 "Legends of To-Meow-Meow"

• Real Life Writes the Plot: Why Legends of Tomorrow wasn't part of Elseworlds (2018) despite this episode overlapping with (and acknowledging) the crossover event. According to Marc Guggenheim, The CW still wanted an Arrowverse crossover event for 2018 — but recognizing how burned out the production teams were after Crisis on Earth-X, they compromised by allowing it to be scaled down to a 3 show/episode event. Legends was ultimately selected as the odd duck out between its tight seasonal narrative (which would've made fitting in Elseworlds too difficult) and the event's status as Batwoman's Backdoor Pilot further overcrowding the field.
