The general Arrowverse thread

Since a lot of cross-series information is posted currently, and its often hard to decide where it fits best, I think this thread might be a good idea, especially with all the constantly updating infos about the upcoming crossover rolling it.

First of all, thank you for this!

Anyway, I'm lowkey excited for both season 6 of The Flash and season 8 of Arrow. Apparently we'll be seeing Moira Queen again? That makes me really happy. I know it'll probably be either a flashback or a doppelganger, but for me, any excuse to see Moira again is a good excuse.

Actors with multiple roles in Crisis on Infinite Earths:

• Tom Cavanagh (in addition to playing Harrison Wells and the Reverse-Flash, he will also play Pariah)
• Brandon Routh (in addition to playing Ray Palmer, he will also played the Kingdom Come Superman)
• LaMonica Garrett (will play both the Monitor and Anti-Monitor)

Confirmed guest stars in Crisis on Infinite Earths:

• Burt Ward (unknown, possibly playing a version of Robin)
• Jon Cryer (Lex Luther from Earth-38)
• John Wesley Shipp (either Jay Garrick from Earth-3 or Barry Allen from Earth-90 or both)
• Kevin Conroy (elderly Bruce Wayne from an unknown Earth)
• Tyler Hoechlin (Superman of Earth-38)
• Bitsie Tulloch (Lois Lane of Earth-38)
• Tom Welling (Superman from Smallville Earth)
• Erica Durance (Lois Lane from Smallville Earth and also possibly Alura Zor-El)
• Johnathon Schaech (Jonah Hex)
• Ashley Scott (Huntress from Birds of Prey Earth)

By the way, if we're going with Earths named after the year the show first aired (since the 1990 Flash is from Earth-90), then the Smallville Earth is named Earth-101 (since it aired starting in 2001) and the Birds of Prey Earth is Earth-102 (since it aired starting in 2002).

Found a cool promo picture, of the essential "Big Five" of the Arrowverse Click

But Batwoman hasn't done anything.

Eh. Give her time.

Plus, I get the feeling she'll be somewhat taking Ollie's place once he retires.

I thought that but... now we have a Gotham City Sirens Arrow Beyond show.

Well, in their timeline, not so much in the future.

I wonder how the timeline for Batwoman is going to work. It looks like the Pilot will show her putting on the costume and assuming the name for the first time. But in the Elseworlds crossover, she was already fully suited up and operating in Gotham City, suggesting that her series will (at least initially) be set a year or more in the past.

How's that gonna work out when she appears in this winter's crossover? Will the first eight episodes of her series take place over an extremely long span of time to get her caught up with the other shows? Will the Kate Kane we see in Crisis be about a year ahead of Kate Kane in her own series, and maybe be used to drop some foreshadowing? Will time and reality go wonky during Crisis like they did in the comic book version, letting continuity issues like that be swept aside? Or will the time discrepancy be quietly ignored, and everyone would be better off just not thinking about it.

And Black Lightning is still a no show, how disappointing.

Cress William was confirmed a while back.

Funny thing, I just realized, with Batwoman as the next big player and Mia Smoak taking over from her father....Barry is gonna be the sole male member of the Arrowverse Big 5 soon x)

While I love Sara Lance, I don't like the positioning of her in the same position that Oliver, Barry, Kara, and now Kate hold. Those characters are all the hero of their respective series; even if there are other superheroic characters in their cast, they're the one the show revolves around. By contrast, Legends of Tomorrow is an ensemble show with no lead character; Sara is the team's leader, but she's not inherently more important than anyone else in the cast.

Well, someone has to represent that group and I like that it's Sara, since she's the leader.

Yeah, Sara makes sense to be the focal character for crossovers.

I don't think anyone else in the team suits the role as well as she does.

Of the ones remaining anyway. Kinda disappointed Mick and Barry didn't interact at the wedding, though the toaster joke was funny.

I still find it funny that the "Evil doppelganger" of the Legends in Earth-X was the ship itself.

Legends might be an ensemble show, but if somebody should represent the team, it's definitely Sara. I mean, Sara has been around since Arrow S1 (ok, technically S2, since that's when Caity Lotz came in) and I don't think its far-fetched to say that she is the most popular Legend.

She is the most senior member of the team meta wise.

Harbinger bitches!

Looking at Comic!Harbinger's costume, I never noticed before that, while her outfit's mostly standard superhero spandex, she has what looks like armor plating directly over her crotch.

Michael Keaton in COIE ?!

He's not actually going to be in it — it just looks like it will be an Easter egg. Perhaps for the Birds of Prey universe — that's the one that seemed to take the most inspiration from the Burton films and also had Batman and Catwoman marrying and having a daughter.

There are some Twitter accounts that are reporting another actor on set from another DC show: Tom Ellis as Lucifer.

Damn that reminds me, I really have to check out that series.
