I was a bit disappointed the only big Crisis thing we had was the newspaper moving up the time table. It is interesting that the headline hasn't disappeared yet. I assume they are waiting for Ollie's actual sacrifice before having it disappear completely. I'm curious how many of the shows will be involved and whether or not we get any merging Earths by the end. All of the Arrowverse shows, including Batwoman, except for Black Lightning.

It looked decent. Not a big fan of Luke Fox, but having him be another textbook nerd like Curtis is annoying. The lack of Montoya is disappointing. It looks like at the very least the first episode will take place before the crossover from this season. Its a shame they wasted the DEO on Supergirl. It would have been nice to have gotten the version from Batwoman comics. Really I just want Mr. Bones on my tv screen.

RandomAct Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Side note, but Supergirl's back half was REALLY strong( I mean, the show, not actual Supergirl). I ended up digging the take on Manchester Black, and John Cryer might be my favorite non-Clancy Brown Lex. I still have a couple of episodes left, but they are finishing strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I mean, Melissa Benoist's back half is pretty strong. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 While we consistency love Legends of Tomorrow, our watching of the rest of the CW DC shows is waning. We dropped Arrow a year or two ago. My wife's token misanthropy means that she can't stand Supergirl as a character. And Flash has been fairly hard to get through from a quality level the last year or two. We have two episodes to go this season and we just started Barry (not Allen) last night since we have HBO for another few weeks and I can't see us prioritizing Flash over that in the hour a night we actually get to watch something. I'm not sure what it is with Flash. Maybe it's that Barry has been given too much rope to hang himself as a character over the years or what made the show work in Season 1 (the mystery, the optimism, Iris being on the outside and the drama that caused) didn't make it even to season 2. Losing Cold and Heat Wave didn't help.Plus the Wells' character tends to be diminishing returns from season to season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I hear that a good amount about Flash and get why that's the case. If I had all the DC shows to catch up on in a week they'd sadly be the last one to watch. But I still love it anyway though I like the supporting cast much more than Barry. Speaking of which I did catch the rest of the show last night and was really bummed about Nora. But there's worse ways to be written off and I do like that she went out on her terms. Gonna be interesting to see what they have in store for next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 The FLASH finale was incredible anti-climactic. I shall wait for Matt to watch it before I go into spoilers tho. While I'm being thirsty in the thread, it took an episode of BLACKISH to get me to realize how incredibly gorgeous Brandon Routh is. I've been watching him for 5 years on L.o.T. and a sitcom makes me go "...holy crap, Ray is HOT!" bless their make-up and hair dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has probably been the strongest of the shows this season if only for the back half (Legends is too insane to properly rate for me). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Big Crisis on Infinite Earths setup at the end of Supergirl finale. I know they will follow the source material for the most part, but I like them adding a couple of curveballs since their are characters they can't use. Reading that it might be a 5 episode crossover, but I feel like even that is a little short for such an undertaking. Also, I'm predicting that they finally pull the trigger on John Diggle becoming a Green Lantern, since it was revealed that his stepfather's last name is Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Thought Supergirl's finale was pretty good. Lex's last reveal to Lena was wonderfully cruel, and I'm curious to see what they do with it next season. I hope they still avoid a heel turn for Lena. The Crisis teaser was way better than Flash's. 2 hours ago, RandomAct said: Also, I'm predicting that they finally pull the trigger on John Diggle becoming a Green Lantern, since it was revealed that his stepfather's last name is Stewart Well, we know he was one on another Earth. I still don't see them going for it. All this reminds me that I still have not read the original Crisis. Maybe I will some time in the next few months.

RandomAct Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I think if you do Diggle/Lantern, you do it as his goodbye. Like, the last you see of him is getting the ring and going off to join the Lantern Corps. I'm not super familiar with Leviathan, since most of my comics knowledge ends at like 2006, but I like them doing these types of threats on Supergirl. I think that's why I liked this season so much, because her battle wasn't one she could punch her way out of. It was a politic and public opinion battle.

RandomAct Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) LoT with the most LoT Crisis tease ever, by just having The Monitor watch the insanity unfold and do....nothing Also, the cameo in Hell was incredible.

Its the big villain organization in Morrison's Batman Incorporated. Bendis has only just started to use it for Superman this year. It feels a bit early for them to be using it for the show. I wonder if they end up using Spyral as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the shows leading up to it are pretty heavily tied to the coming of Crisis (especially Flash). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I expect Flash to lead heavily into it, yes, but I think that's about the only route you can take with the remaining episodes of Arrow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Legends was fucking tremendous. There's so much I want to talk about but I'm high... But if there isn't a gif of The Monitor eating popcorn posted here ASAP and it also becomes Dolfan's new " I'm watching you" warning, then I don't know you people anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
