Oh yeah, that one. The writers don't seem to know what to do with meta-dampening tech in general. It varies between working perfectly, only working on certain metas, not working on aliens, being cheap enough for everyone to use but expensive enough that they don't just cover any important location in dampeners...

I liked it better in the first season where they had to specifically modify every cell in the Pipeline to be a Tailor-Made Prison.

Regarding the new Trailer

No real new footage, but still great, and sad at the same time. End of an era :/

I'm curious what role Oliver Queen could possibly play in defeating the Anti-Monitor that Kara or Barry couldn't do better. So I ran through some possibilities.

    Scenario A: Oliver is pretty much Batman 

  • Anti-Monitor: I am... inevitable.
  • Oliver: And I'm... the Green Arrow. (snaps fingers)
  • Anti-Monitor: (is erased from existence)

    Scenario B: Oliver will pull a double-cross like he did in Season 3 

  • Anti-Monitor: At last. Thanks to my newest acolyte I will destroy this multiverse and on its ashes... build a better one!
  • Oliver: Hey man look I'm really happy for you and I'm a let you finish, but, I betrayed you, took the Plot Mc Guffins you needed to complete your evil plan, changed their frequencies to make them only target you and any time remnant versions of you, set all of them to "instant kill" and uh... well you see where I'm going with this.

    Scenario C: Oliver's friends will help 

  • Oliver: (narrowly survives a huge fall in the middle of a burning building)
  • Anti-Monitor: (stumbles out of burning debris) No more false faces... you said you wanted the Anti-Monitor? You're looking right at him. It was always me Oliver ... I AM THE ANTI-MONITOR-
  • -a tablet flies out of nowhere and hits the Anti-Monitor's throat, killing them-

    Scenario D: Oliver will plan ahead 

  • Monitor: (squints) Is that... an Anti-Monitor arrow? Why do you have an Anti-Monitor arrow?
  • Oliver: (beat) In case an evil you ever showed up!

    Scenario E: Oliver will rely on Team Flash 

  • Anti-Monitor: (tries to wipe out the multiverse but can't)
  • Oliver: Nanites. Courtesy of Cisco Ramon. They're delivering calcified speed force energy which is connecting you to Barry's power source and disabling most of your cosmic powers. You're not going to be using your powers consistently or efficiently for quite awhile!

    Scenario F: Oliver will contact the Legends 

  • Oliver: Hey uh. Ray? Yeah, it's me, Oliver. Look I know you're busy with the Legends but I... I could use a favor.
  • -fifteen minutes later-
  • Sara: Oliver wants you to do what with your shrinking suit?
  • Palmer: Look. This is not the craziest thing we've done this year.

He's almost certainly going to pull a Heroic Sacrifice, so I assume his final role will be More Expendable Than You.

Apparently he's going to be running around the multiverse dealing with threats leading up to the Crisis, though, and I'm not sure what that will look like.

Any thoughts on if Black Lightning will be part of this.

If we're dealing with the Multiverse, then that would make a lot of sense, but that series has been pretty solid about staying out of the rest of the Arrowverse.

[up][up][up][up] Late to the party, but I'm excited to see Moira again. Always loved her, and even if it is an alternate version of her (which seems most likely for...obvious reasons), I can't wait to see what role she ends up playing.

Arrow 2040 show a possibility. It would definitely be interesting to have a show in the Arrowverse set in the future. Hell, perhaps they could even bring in Old Bruce Wayne, like they are doing in Crisis, and cast Terry McGinnis.

The only downside would be that they couldn't reveal who lives and dies and how in the future or else it would spoil other shows. Or this show would only be an alternate future.

(I do kind of wish they could make a Legion of Super-Heroes show, but that would be a thousand years in the future, not just twenty.)

Stephen Amell also talks about how Felicity's departure affected the show. Basically: the end of Season 7 was the end of the show. With her gone, the rest of the show will basically be just a series of epilogues:

"The whole season is basically our greatest hits," showrunner Beth Schwartz explained at The CW's Television Critics Association press tour panel. "We're kind of tying up some stories you could have seen in Season 3 or 2."

"Every episode this year feels like were trying to put a button on a certain part of the show," star Stephen Amell said. "And I've [gotten] a chance to work with actors and characters, thus far, that I haven't had a chance to work with in a bunch of years."

This does explain some casting news I read and I'll admit, it sounds awesome.

Given how Legends of Tomorrow just rewrote a lot of its last two seasons, I'd say there's no such thing as a set-in-stone timeline for the Arrowverse.

The 2040 show could still have the Legends visit. The flashforwards have been careful about not mentioning the outside world much, so I could believe that while Star City is a shithole, the rest of the country is not a fascist hellstate patrolled by Argus. If nothing else, no one mentioned any racism against metahumans.

Black Lightning is supposed to appear in Crisis; as to how that reflects on whatever Earth Black Lightning takes place on remains to be seen.

The Anti-Monitor kind of looks like Darkseid or Apocalypse (wrong universe, I know, but I'm covering all of my bases).

Do not obey in advance.

Do we still call these shows part of the "Arrowverse" even though Arrow is being replaced by Batwoman wrapping up soon?

Feels weird.

But calling it the "Batwomanverse" or the "Flashverse" feels even weirder.

Arrow is the one who founded it. Even though his own show ended, we can still honor him ; )

Though that doesn't quite fit, since The 'Verse includes Constantine, which aired on NBC.

CW not ending Arrowverse shows anytime soon...

he CW's Arrow is coming to an end with its eighth and final season, but other shows in the Arrowverse have no need to worry. At The CW's Television Critics Association press tour panel, CW President Mark Pedowitz confirmed that The Flash, Supergirl and DC's Legends of Tomorrow will continue for the time being.

"We believe in these franchises. This universe will continue for many many years," Pedowtiz said. He added that "hopefully it will be a long time from now" before discussions about ending these series will happen.

Spartan's costume is okay, but I love Black Canary's new uniform. It's a nice mix of Earth-1 Laurel Lance and Comic Book Dinah Lance.
