we should be #1 on your god damned Watched ThreadsI always forget there's a community thread for DC because I never go into the Hangouts haha
Reading those synopses, Crisis sounds... less epic than I thought it'd be. Hmm.
What'd you expect? It's still a low budget TV show. Plus they tend to downplay things to avoid spoilers. If anything big is in there they're not going to reveal it.Reading those synopses, Crisis sounds... less epic than I thought it'd be. Hmm.
Oh, definitely, it's just that reading things like "Rory discovers a hidden talent" and "Iris has a heart-to-heart with Ryan Choi" reminds me that they'll still be regular Arrowverse episodes with all their usual tropes...I'm pretty damn sure that they're going to do a gigantic cliffhanger at the end of Part 3, Infinity War-style, then make us wait until after Christmas for the resolution.

Yeah good point, it's a good way to keep most of the surprises hidden.The synopsis for Elseworlds Part 3 was literally just "Supergirl, the Flash, Green Arrow and Superman engage in the battle of their lives." because they didn't want to put anything else in.
It's either that or KC Supes tells them to go get his Bruce Wayne.I am a little confused by the "Kate and Kara try to find Bruce Wayne" thing, though. Maybe they go looking for Earth-1's Bruce but find Future Bruce instead?

Hope Nora makes it into the crossover too.
Also why no Lena on the poster? :(
Does this crossover feel kinda ... inspirational for anyone else?
I mean somebody went from "lets put this crazy reference here on flash" to "i think we can actually do it" to "lets fucking do it" in like 6 years
They can't fit everyone on there. At least Lena's in this crossover for a change. The last couple crossovers, she was credited (due to series regular contractual requirements, I'm sure) but never actually showed up.
I honestly think the DCEU cratering the way it did basically convinced Guggenheim to go all-in. Once people saw Superman interacting with the Flash and Oliver on the Smallville farm last year, there was no going back.
But HER BROTHER is on the poster! lol
Wonder if it's a sign that he's going to be main cast on the Lois & Clark show.
Or on Supergirl.
Or really you could send him anywhere and he'd be a delight.
The poster is... fine. It looks good, even if it's missing like 50 characters.
If they don't get Alex Ross to do a massive everyone is here picture...I'm sure they'll put out the art variant soon enough. Earth-X got one, Elseworlds got one. This one will too.
So is this Cisco from earlier in the timeline, or is he getting his Vibe powers back in the next two weeks?
Arrow got shafted in representation on the poster. Oliver didn't even get to be in the middle.Kinda interesting that Cisco's on the poster but the only Arrow character is Oliver and....Lyla? lol
They're probably not allowed. They tried to use the classic Superman theme and were turned down.Speaking of things they should do for Crisis, if none of Conroy's scenes have a musical nod to this
Then just throw the whole crossover away
(Not worried though, they were savvy enough to arrange the 90s Flash intro for a scene in Elseworlds)
movie themes are different,They're probably not allowed. They tried to use the classic Superman theme and were turned down.
Considering KC Supes is Reeve's Supes, it might be different this time (unless you meant they tried to get it for Crisis...)They're probably not allowed. They tried to use the classic Superman theme and were turned down.

How can you get the okay to use the original movie Superman but not his theme?? Guess DC hasn't completely changed after all.
Probably more a legal rights thing. Reeves Superman is just Superman. The theme might be owned by Williams.How can you get the okay to use the original movie Superman but not his theme?? Guess DC hasn't completely changed after all.
Yeah, I'm thinking that's probably the hurdle. Hopefully they get to use either the Elfman or Walker BTAS leitmotifs (ideally, the latter) since they were able to seemingly use Elfman's Flash theme with no issue.Probably more a legal rights thing. Reeves Superman is just Superman. The theme might be owned by Williams.
I'm making my way through S4 of Supergirl and it's a bit of a infuriating experience.
- Jimmy "but we gotta cover all the sides" Olsen is such a useless character and it does him no favors to just casually endorse Lena's descent into villainy. I swear, I think they use some sort of random storyline generator to plot out his character.
- I always thought that Lena's most interesting character trait was that she denied her heritage/destiny of being a villain. The idea that she seems to be turning bad feels like such a misfire created only to inspire more unnecessary drama.
- Also, why am I supposed to buy that Kara and Lena are best friends? I don't think they've had any significant moment together on-screen. S4 they barely even spend time together as Kara and Lana!
- Can someone explain the "DEO doesn't know Supergirl's secret identity" retcon? I'm not crazy, right? I'm almost positive that she used to walk around the DEO base as Kara with the acknowledgment that they knew her dual identities were linked. Anyway, this storyline fucking sucks.
- The show means well but it's attempts to show the good in literal fascists made me consider quitting it all together. What's the point of giving Agent Liberty even the smallest bit of sympathy in his backstory? Fuck that. In the real world, the people these characters are based on don't have a tragic backstory that they can use to try and rationalize their actions. If this is suppose to be an allegory for our modern day nazis, then actually portray that. Show how these fascist humans are irationally angry about harmless alien customs and culture that diversifies earth's own culture. Show them wanting to deny aliens equal rights even though it won't effect their own rights. Don't have Agent Liberty and his oddly racially diverse hate group use Christopher Columbus colonizing the USA and murdering indigenous peoples as a reason for his actions. Like, what the fuck even is that?
- Manchester Black would've been great if the show wasn't so scared of realizing that violent anit-fascist aren't really the problem. Instead, we get a show that almost portrays him as being just as immoral and threatening as literal nazis.
- Thank god for Luthor, though. Finally a villain who isn't vaguely abstracted from some random character no one cares about. Cryer does a pretty good job as Lex too. It's honesty the only positive of this season thus far.

the episoide about Liberty is the best of the series, it's pretty truer to form of how radicalization comes about.
