It was fine. I like several cameos and scenes quite a bit, but far from the best crossover in the franchise.

Agreed, Earth X is still my favorite one.

I’d love to see a take on the Justice Lords as a future one.

Oh that reminds me I never watched the final two Arrow episodes post crisis.

I really need to get around to that.

I was about to type out a lengthy post with my thoughts on the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover ... but then I remembered that I've already done that, so I'm just going to post a couple links to the reviews I wrote when the crossover first came out.

Speaking of Justice Lords, has Earth-3/Crime Syndicate been done yet?

Technically, the original twist for Earth-2 was that what was introduced as Earth 2 was actually more like Earth-3 (a corrupt world where people heroic in the main universe are either evil or antagonistic, and vice versa), and Earth-3 was actually what we thought of as Earth-2 (Silver Age world, home of Jay Garrick).

(Of course, now the actual Earth-2 is a thing as of Stargirl).

So... kinda, but also kinda not? An Earth where "all of us are evil" (as implicitly referred to by Barry) has been done, but the Crime Syndicate specifically has not been adapted in the Arrowverse yet.

I'm curious what they would name the Crime Syndicate version of Arrow.

Like Flash's counterpart Johnny Quick is long established and Supergirl would obviously be Ultragirl, but the only CA version of GA that comes to mind is Blue Bowman from Batman: The Brave and The Bold.

They could do the Syndicate in Stargirl rather than Flash, and have them be evil counterparts of the JSA instead.

There's a new trailer for Superman & Lois. Since this was written before remembering it had a dedicated thread, here's the proper redirect.

Btw, John Diggle Cameo's confirmed both in the final Season of Supergirl, as well as Superman & Lois.

Hopefully he will be promoted to Supporting Cast in the latter show!

Cool.

Dig seems to becoming the Arrowverse character who bounces around the most, what with all his appearances in Flash.

It's fitting that he's the member of the cast showing up in the Super shows now that they're in the same universe.

I could also see him appearing in Black Lightning at some point.

Bad news, folks.

Looks like Green Arrow and the Canaries won't be happening on The CW.

This is really giving me 2016 Agents of SHIELD flashbacks, and their planned spin-off Most Wanted.

I didn't even LIKE these two characters, or the idea of the spin-off, but it was still sad how they wrote out 2 characters for nothing in the end.

Nothing will ever come of the promising pilot for Green Arrow & the Canaries now either sad

At least Arrow is already over and thus wasn't using those characters, unlike Shield.

But yeah, getting some follow-up to that episode somewhere would be nice. While it would have been good to get the actual series, some conclusion is much beter than nothing.

On Legends of Tomorrow, Zari and Behrad are from the 2040's, the same decade as Mia and the Canaries, so it wouldn't be that hard to have the Legends visit their teammates hometime and run into some of the other heroes running around that era.

Heck, given that one of them is the partygirl heiress and the other is a social media celebrity, it'd make a lot of sense if Mia Queen and Zari Tarazi already know each other.

Well that's hardly a surprise. I guess the best we can hope for is a wrap-up in comics form and occasional cameos.

Supergirl ending, Black Lightning ending, a new Batwoman, Green Arrow and the Canaries not being picked up, and now no crossover.

This years batch of the Arrowverse is starting up on a lot of lowpoints so far sad
