Honestly Ive been nicely surprised. Never thought theyd keep him locked up for 7 episodes. Best first 7 episodes probably since Season 2.

Just curious to see if the show can keep up the quality now. Id say the 2nd half of last season was great as well. Its when they get back to team Arrow that the show goes downhill. Arrows great, but Team Arrow sucks.

And yeah, the flashforward sequences are decent. Also like where they seem to be going with Diaz after his incarceration.

have they killed off Wild Dog yet?

Wild Dog is still around.

And Ragman was cool, but too powerful for the rest of the team, to be honest. If everyone else on your team is a street leveler, the one guy who can survive nukes stands out a bit.

Its not about liking or not liking them individually. Theyve been fine this season as individuals. Its when they are Team Arrow, the show just doesnt work for me.

Last season and so far this season they split Team Arrow up and had a lot of Arrow going solo.

Oh but even as individuals, hate Wild Dog and Curtis.

Been thinking for a while that one of the people involved in the flash forwards isn't who they say they are or being completely honest about their intentions and honestly, given the way in which Dinah tried to persuade Wild Dog's daughter to get her and William into The Glades because they both, for some reason, are unable to do so on their own makes me think it could be her.

Lmao they even redid the intro.

The Ring reference to Diggle was great as well

Another good crossover episode. These are almost becoming the highlight of these shows, because I remember enjoying Crisis on Earth X quite a lot last year as well.

Also... Sooo many easter eggs.

"My cousin and Bruce are friends. Frenemies."

Nice nod to Worlds Finest, and one story of their meeting across universes I'd like to see.

Isn't that a retcon of Flash making first contact? Unless all these crossover events happened since, and we haven't heard about it.

CBR is spinning this as a Batman existing on Earth 38, Supergirls universe.

There isn't a Superman or Supergirl in the Arrowverse, so it doesn't really follow there would be two Batman's.

^^^But there are.

Batman does exist on earth 38. He was referred to as far back as season 2 of Supergirl.
Batman’s existence isnt dependent on Superman’s existence in any particular reality.

I stopped watching these shows ages ago, but heard about the crossover and wanted to see RR as Batwoman, so ...

As you said, the crossovers are the highlight, and I had a couple of chuckles - but then Supergirl ends up giving a monologue for half an hour again, and I remember once again why I can't watch this

Spoiler:
badly written crap

How is that a spoiler? 😆

There was a "Bruce" (along with Diana and other JL names) on Earth 2 Barry's phone as well, IIRC.

Plus, there are at least 90 different Earths in the CW multiverse. So, chances are there are more than a couple of Batmans scattered across them.

^^^nice; i’d forgotten about that earth 2 phone easter egg...

I was thinking more about your comment regarding the DCEU and CWDC universes and it is pretty crazy how one has had such a rocky road while the other just keeps growing and growing, adding more characters and shows to the list as time passes, considering they didn't kick off that far apart.

Makes you wonder what could have been if the CW Arrowverse actually had the DCEU verse's budget.

^^^Or if the DCEU had just been patient and forward planned, slowly building their brand.

Yeah, they tried to play catch up when the other side (the MCU) had way too much of a head start for that strategy to ever be a viable approach. And the joke is that the only other current shared live action universe that can compete with the MCU (at least in terms of scope) is in fact the Arrowverse lol. So, the movie guys got upstaged by their TV counterparts.

Forgot about Bruce name dropping.

Earth 1 and Earth 2 both had a Batman, and were almost indistinguishable, back in the comics. I remember Earth 2 Batman being a politician, coming out of retirement, and dying.

And speaking of older characters, that Flash was from the 90's TV show, right? Recognized the theme song.
