I'm lagging behind a few episodes. Last season was kind of garbage for me, personally, and this season just hasn't gotten me very interested either. And there is still Flash, Arrow, Legends and Titans, which I do still all enjoy for the most part, so not like I am short on DC stuff to watch either.

That was a satisfying conclusion.
As per usual, great character interplay, and they blew the bank on some nice action FX.
The Superman/Lois development reminds me that i read somewhere a CW Superman series HAS been discussed. It’d be nice to see the character done well.
And now the potential spoiler stuff. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Ollie was of course awesome, as the weakest member of the group having the most badass ‘you’re gonna listen to me’ moment.
Secondary characters from all across the shows, and Psycho Pirate...oh Psycho Pirate. That shit gave me tingles.
On the 40th anniversary of the OG Superman movie, Barry and Kara give us their version of the cheesiest but most memorable moment in that movie. Sweet.
The Arrowverse is everything the DCEU could have been, if they’d really tried. Arrow and MoS premiered only 8 months apart, but the CW, on basically a shoestring budget (compared to what movies get to play with), using 90% secondary characters and actors, have managed to engagingly world build the **** out of their DC, and are now positioned to tackle the Holy Grail of the Company’s many classic stories next fall.
The DCEU? Not so much.
I did like how they marketed the Aquaman movie during this event though at least with Jason Momoa occasionally appearing on the commercials talking about Flash/Arrow. That was kinda cool admittedly.
The ending for me was eh, but was definitely hooked on the first two parts/episodes.
Superman got cucked hard in the show 😂
Basically Lois said the world and women are better because there’s “less conflict” and she’s better because she’s a woman, and Melissa Benoist made a cringeworthy statement about Black Suit Superman being “too scared” to be a girl. Seriously the writers are awful

On the flip side I love Ruby Rose as Batwoman and Hoechlin Superman and smiled when he picked up Lois from falling . I will be gladly watching Batwoman and if Superman ever gets his own show.

Given how Superman's been treated for awhile in this multiverse as a side character, is it really any surprise? If this Supes does ever get his own show though as rumored, then I'll start to have more hope for him.
Weakest of the three crossover episodes, mainly due to the typical Supergirl cringe one comes to expect from that show's writers. Also, the bit where [SPOILER - highlight to read]: they had the stand-off with Barry talking Ollie out of shooting the kryptonite arrow was dumb as hell. It's like the writers forgot that Barry can literally go intangible and phase through things, much like Amazo did through Superman's attacks in the first crossover episode.
Still a good crossover overall though, and I am looking forward to seeing where this arc leads further.

On a random note, Brainiac 5 is OP as phuck. The guy solo'd [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Amazo, when it took two Kryptonians, a Flash and the Green Arrow working together and using Cisco's techno hax skills to defeat him earlier.

Eh, yeah, there are some fluctuations, but I wouldn't go quite that far. Also, I kind of do doubt[SPOILER - highlight to read]: he did it purely via brute force alone, considering the previous fight. Probably applied his super brain to find some kind of weakness or soft spot no one else could detect. But still, the fact that he could figure out a way to stop him is extremely impressive and shows how dangerous Brainy can be.
The worst PIS power drop IMO still happened to Ragman on Arrow the one time. The guy consistently tanked hard impacts, bullets, arrows, explosions, and even survived nukes on two separate occasions, yet got one-shotted by Prometheus once for the sake of the plot of the episode (another member of the team needed to be the last one standing in that fight for plot reasons).

I heard no on this, but is that official? (Stopped following Smallville around season 3, but I'm reading the wiki's. Surprised to learn a Supergirl exists in Smallville.)
