as far as I can tell has gone totally AWOL at this point... He left Flash to join the Legends and then left the Legends to go to some sort of zen retreat in the far east. I think he's been in one Flash episode since, I'm sure he mentioned something about going back to the Legends at the end, but that was well over a year ago and he never reappeared in Legends :think:. Guess he's still meditating on a mountain or whatever.

That's simulatenously surprising and not surprising :joker: in the comics, and especially the current run of Teen Titans, he's the heart and moral compass for the group. IIRC he was the only one who had a problem when they found out Robin was

because it was (in his opinion) as bad as what the villains themselves would do, not because of the danger they might pose

so basically all earths within the multiverse are threatened by a sort of orange planet destroying spiral, but they need a paragon of courage to save them

loads of guest cameo's, smallville's tom welling (clark kent) and erica durance (lois lane) and also from 1966 batman series Burt ward back as Dick Grayson for a slight moment :laugh: :flutter:

introduction of a new batman actor, Kevin Conroy portrayed him (like he voiced batman in animated series and the arkham video games)


Oliver Queen/Green Arrow warning very heavy spoiler here, oh yeah and he also has a daughter named Mia who is a green Arrow in training

Lex Luthor is president, which was foreshadowed by the show... But also Clark has given up his abilities completely to have kids and live on the farm? :think:... I mean yeah he always hated the responsibility I think so it's not out of character, but it would have worked better if they'd had Smallville's Lex dealt with and locked up - allowing Clark to hang up his cape... But sitting in the Whitehouse? Hmmm.

I like to think that Smallville's Lex Luthor has come full circle by Crisis and he's probably gotten over his issues and has become a decent president. Maybe without Superman around, he mellowed out.

I thought it was a decent end for Smallville, much better than they had in the actual show tbh.

I've got a feeling they might chicken out of doing any major changes to the status quo and revert the multiverse back to how it was (mostly because it gives them narrative power to pretty much bring a version of anyone back at any time which they do like to do) but I do hope they limit the multiverse stuff a bit, they use it as an easy out far too often. I hope they merge Earth-1 with Black Lightning's and Supergirl's just to bring the shows under one universe, keep a few other Earths in place for the sake of Wells and other fun cameos down the line but don't do more than that.

It's been a fun crossover so far, I think they could have introduced Ryan Choi earlier though, there's no reason he couldn't have had his introduction in Flash at some point prior to Crisis as the whole 'Oliver becoming The Spectre' thing seemed to be a bigger deal and it got barely any time in the last episode.

I'm looking forward to the last two episodes, shame we have to wait for them

It's a shame they couldn't get Rosenbaum, I agree it would have been a great end for Smallville-Lex if he had actually "gotten better" and him and Clark had regained mutual respect (if not friendship) and that was all part of Clark's decision to hang up the cape. Their relationship was obviously very different to the "usual" Superman/Luthor dynamic, and through most of the show Lex was generally "good" deep down he just went a bit off the rails... so a different ending would have been fitting. I guess it can just be head-canon? :joker:

Come to think of it, I think the Lena/Kara relationship in SG has clearly been based on the Clark/Lex Smallville relationship, if a little more on-the-nose.
I always thought that if Clark had shown Lex some trust earlier on instead of basically gaslighting the poor guy for 5+ seasons, it might have gone totally differently :think:

I do despise Lena's story in the new season of Supergirl, it's like the good seasons of Smallville without what made Clark and Lex's friendship compelling.

For someone as smart as Lena's meant to be, they're doing a great job of writing her like an idiot. 'I'm not a villain! I just want to brainwash people into living the way I want them to!'

I feel like Lex's dark turn in Smallville made more sense, especially considering he was a dark person to begin with. Lena went from trying to be good to instant supervillain over the course of a season break.

I'm hoping they course correct Lena in the second half of the season. They are trying to force an arc that doesn't really make sense for the character.

Indeed - Lex was always a person with a lot of darkness and loneliness from his upbringing who was trying really hard to be good but eventually "gave in"... Lena has been portrayed as a generally good person who has gone darkside for a really flimsy reason. It's a rubbish arc. They're kind of showing signs of just cancelling it / her "wavering" in Crisis IMO and I hope they do tbh.

Just watched the final two parts, as predicted Supergirl has been merged into Earth 1 (now "Earth Prime"), along with Black Lightning, it seems? Seems like the biggest changes will be for SG with Lex being back and (acting like) a peace prize winning philanthropist...

Not an issue as tbh Lex is one of the best parts of the whole franchise at the moment? Though he was great throughout the crossover :shrug:.

Also, the DCU movies are now confirmed to be in the same multiverse as DCTV? :omgno:. Quite enjoyed the scene with the two Flashes. Definitely not something I expected :think:.

that virtual reality world, ok ok Alex chose to be supergirl in that

the end of the character Jeremiah Danvers now for good, shame we didn't have a Alex/Jeremiah scene in that virtual reality world somehow, would've loved seeing Dean Cain again in this

Lex basically undercover in Leviathan's plan of trapping people in Virtual Reality


was nice seeing David Harewood again as Hank Henshaw even though in VR


i am enjoying this series a lot now, good team (supergirl, dreamer, alex, j'onn, brainy) and i definitely do not miss Mon'El, or Winn (even though his comeback episode was also nice this season, and a nice goodbye episode to Toyman senior also redemption moment there between father and son
